Has anyone played Tales of Arise? Once I'm done with P5R, looking to try out another JRPG famed JRPG series. Bandai Namco is having a huge sale. Scarlet Nexus is also on a huge sale, but I've heard more middling things about that title.

Next time... just @Me pimp

100% recommend Tales of Arise. Great intro to the series to start off. Both are actually quite solid. And I thought Scarlet was on Gamepass. 

Their move to UE 5 has the game looking stunning. Very fun and addictive combat. Characters are well written, I wasn't a huge fan of the story, but it's serviceable for most of the game. I think their next tales game is going to be even better. They have the engine now which they will milk for years, so now they can focus more on the finer details and story. 

Overall I'd rank it as my 3rd fave Tales game. 

Vesperia > Berseria > Arise > Xillia > Abyss > Xillia 2 > Zestiria > Graces F

Already have Symphonia on pre order! Didn't give it a fair shake on PS3... literally saw the 2D-ness of it and rage quit. Probably played for 10 minutes. 

I gotchu fam!

Ah yes, Scarlet is indeed on Game Pass! Got a lot of JRPG goodness on my horizon then
