Enjoy what you enjoy, but the story and characters in Arise are hot garbage. The characters are extremely 1 dimensional and the story does nothing new for the industry. It falls back on a ton of cliches accompanied by poor writing. I literally could not finish the game (watched a YouTube video of the ending) and I love the Tales of games and JRPG’s as a whole and I’ve been very strong on my stance that it’s one of the worst triple A JRPG’s I have played in a long time. 

To each their own.  Frankly I prefer the more simple approach to characters and story.  Most modern jrpgs are just plain silly in their complexity, just my opinion.  

I don’t mind simple every now and then, but when simple is is flattened out by whiny characters with writing of a 14 year old fan game, it shouldn’t be considered a ‘great story’. Nothing about it is great. It’s just, there. Mediocre. 

 I just dont understand the appeal for that game at all. Even the graphics, while the art style is absolutely amazing, the geometry pop in is horrendous and completely destroys the immersion. Even Xenoblade 3 has better geometry pop in.
