Tales of Arise (PC/PS4/XB1) - September 9, 2021

[Krandor]

Yes, Steam

No native ultrawide support but looks like a good port overall.

[Lucavi]

Wonder what kind of cool mods people will make up. The game already looks great, graphically.

[Zealot]

For a Tales game? Nude mods.

Booooo, my CE shipment was delayed. I won't have it for at least another 10 days.

They did send me a free digital code though so I can start playing now, that's decent customer service.

God damn they sent you an extra copy for free cause of the delay? That's badass.

That's good news for those hoping we get other titles localized/remade.

Outside of Tales of the World, are we missing any mainline Tales games that aren't in english?

[Zealot]

We never got Rebirth or Innocence, and we only have the GBA version of Phantasia.

Forgot those even existed.

[Karbuncle]

I’m still salty AF they removed coop but if my brother gets it I’ll couch coop minus the coop

Finally sitting down to play.

Can't possibly be as embarrassing as my Demon's Souls streams.

I really want to know what the voice direction was for whoever did the owls in the English version.

It doesn't sound like an owl, it sounds like someone saying hoot, and apparently being told to say it sensually.

[arus2001]

I wouldn't be surprised if that's a subtle throwback to the Velvet coo.

They actually specifically said that if Arise brings in enough new players they are open to remaking and translating some older titles

[KuroTsuki]

I didn't realize Destiny was rated that low. I always saw people talking about it in the Tales community. I actually plan on playing it soon too now that the fan translation for the PS2 release is mostly done (I know we got the PS1 version, but I figured I would wait for the "better" version).

Destiny DC translation patch for anyone interested:

I just want an Abyss port. Don't even care if it's remastered. Just a port on modern consoles/PC.

Maybe fix the slowdown on the world map too, thanks.

[BWYuko]

Destiny only had mediocre reviews because it released Dec 97 (JP) / Sep 98 (NA), sandwiched between FF7 and FF8 releases, and showed up to the PS1 party with SNES sprites. Its competition was redefining the genre. Critics' hands were kinda tied. Fan reviews hold it in much higher regard.

I keep hoping for this so much. So dumb it is trapped on like the DS or 3DS and PS2.
