Imo: When you never played a Tales of - game before or no (action) jrpg before, no recommendation would be helpful to you. Afaik, Tales of Arise and Scarlet Nexus are both available as a demo. Play both demos, watch some gameplay on YouTube and such, then make a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skurkitty Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 14.99$ at the moment, the cheapest it's ever been. Don't play many JRPG/Anime games, but a lot of praise is given to this title and the reviews are strong. With a month to kill until Hogwarts, I think it's time to give this a shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2VLegacy Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Will give it a try once I get around to it. Does look interesting especially since I enjoy JRPG’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 2 playthroughs. 1 per character. You can do both or 1 before hogwarts for sure. I am really hopeful they announce a sequel this year with a 2024 release. But there's no word on it. It did sell well though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulpine9Tails Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 It's a great game. One of the few rare games where I really didn't mind doing a second playthrough. In fact, the second playthrough is better because now you know what's going on. The combat is fun, the story is great, and I enjoyed the costume stuff. It's a small detail but I enjoyed putting dog ears and cat tails on all my characters and having them show up in cutscenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did sell well though From the guide it seems like the first playthrough should be with the character you prefer between the two. Am I understanding that correctly? The second playthrough sounds like a "here's the same story + extra character specific stuff you missed". ? Will definitely be starting this tomorrow night.

Both characters have their own story bits and initial companions, so feel free to start with whoever you wish as you won’t miss out on anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats exactly it. Personally i found Kasane more fun to play as than Yuito, though it really is preference. Think Tales of Xillia 1, where you can pick Millia or Jude and there are a few specific chapters that are unique to that character. That applies to Scarlet Nexus but you will need full playthrough of both. You can carry over items to a NG+ and play with second character which makes it much easier as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenaxPure Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) After you beat NG+ you can swap between the 2 characters at your home base. I would start with the character you're most interested in though simply because there is no NG+ scaling or anything so the second playthrough will feel like a bit of a slog just because your characters will be overpowered assuming you upgraded their gear. It's not a particularly hard game in general either, I'd suggest playing on hard if you want any semblance of pushback from the game cause you're not gonna get it on normal. They even added a very hard difficulty at some point because of that, though dunno how that is as it was well after I was done with the game. Personally I really enjoyed the game but mainly because the gameplay. The story is pretty run of the mill JRPG stuff with bland execution, and the story pacing is actually bad imo because of how bonding works. But the combat with Yuito specifically is ridiculously fun because of his moveset. Kasane is alright but her attack animations are slow and she doesn't get a specific combo finisher Yuito does that is completely busted and really fun to use when you're able to stack party member abilities at endgame. They also designed her as more of a mid-range character which feels really pointless with a lot of the enemy design.

borntodave Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 It's been added to ps plus extra this month. Currently playing the demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zizimonster Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) I'm kinda interested in platinuming this game since it says "character action game" on Steam. Does it play similarly to something like NieR Automata? Edited March 5, 2023 by zizimonster update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT__Jedi Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 @Eraezr Thanks for the suggestion on this game. Didn't really look at it before, but it looks like a game I would be interested in. Added. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marrow94 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Wish I liked this game as you guys did, to me it's so freaking anime-tropes-filled it feels extremely generic. For every character, I feel I've seen them in at least 400 other anime and games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman_Spinksy1 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I wish I liked it more as well. It felt a bit tedious towards the end of my first playthrough and had to put it down. Tales of Arise was far superior in every way 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
