Are you trying to say that this won't have other party members like previous games in the series?

"Featuring an original cast of characters, a dramatic storyline, dynamic combat, breath-taking environments, with some classic Tales Of elements included; Tales of Arise marks a new beginning for the famed JRPG franchise".

That does not signify party members. Cast of characters are specific characters that drive the plot

We'll see, but I wouldn't judge based on a single trailer.

What?

There is nowhere near enough info to make that conclusion. Technically speaking, Tales has been an action RPG since for ever. Only thing that separates it is a transition screen. This looks to be doing away with any form of a transition between battle and non battle mode.

I am Tales of fan, they fill some JRPG slots that other games don't do, I got all the achievements for Tales of vesperia, the platinum trophy for Zesteria/Berseria/TOV remake because I am really into this games. They bring me a kind of joy I can't find in other games.

This Tales of looks so different, more serious, less anime style, one player fighting? I am sure this new beginning of the tales of franchise will bring in newcomers and possible it sells more than any Tales of game ever did but this new beginning feels the end of the 'Tales of' franchise for me sadly..

Suprised there is no Switch version. Looks great though, will likely pick up on PS4 if it does not at least get announced as a late port.

For long games like this I would prefer to have it portable.

ive always fancied all the tales games and used to own many of them but ive never ever played one to completion, Ive bought tales of symphonia lets see if i can complete worst comes to the worst il use a trainer and plough through it

I was playing Devil's advocate. I know it will have party members.

When you want to keep the thread from dying it does.

Likeing how it looks so far.
