    this title isn't, zestiria was just dogshit in every front except maybe character design.
    Arise was trash because of the characters, story and combat system
    Just accept there haven't really been that many good Tales games since Vesperia.

      This implies Vesperia isn't just another example of a not very good tales game. Vesperia sucks bro.

        There is no cure for shit taste.
        Vesperia os one of the best games in the series, it doesn't excel at any one thing but it does everything well.
        Good combat, good music, still the prettiest game in the series, good characters. Sure it doesn't have the best story, but only morons play Tales for the story.

          >good music
          Doubt. The characters felt more like vehicles moving the narrative forward than being an actual character. The music wasn't really that remarkable either other than a few tracks like Fury Sparks and one other battle song I can't remember the title of.

          >Good combat
          Combat doesn't get good until like 80 hours in, Hell it feels like absolute shit for the first 10 or so hours. if you have to beat a game then loop around to new game+ to enjoy it then it's not a good game.
          >Good Music
          All tales games have good music, even the shitty ones
          >still the prettiest game in the series
          I don't agree, but i can't really refute this one since it's purely subjective
          >good characters
          Yuri, Raven, and MAYBE Rita are good characters, that's really nothing special for a tales game almost all of them have 2-3 good characters.
          >Sure it doesn't have the best story
          more like doesn't have a story at all. You just durdle around for 60 hours before Yuri's boyfriend shows up and tells you that there was a main villain after all that you've never heard of before now, but he's taken over the capital! better go stop him!

          I heard you gays praising Vesperia for over a decade before i finally bought it and played it, and after 50 hours of playing i realized i'd fallen for a meme all along. The game is overrated as frick.

                Keep telling yourself that, it's a nice way you morons cope with being dogshit at the game.
                Go back to Berseria or whatever nu-Tales garbage you like where you press x to do a flashy autocombo.

            What are you smoking? Tales games have awful music.
            Only Legendia and like a third of Zestiria have a good soundtrack.

      Not sure if it beat out Legendia for that position or not.

        I'm pretty sure Tempest holds that seat.

        Her game is considered the worst Tales, right?

        If you want to pull the
        >akschually
        card on people, then Tempest was so fricking bad they stripped it's mainline title status and basically never talked about it again.
        Legendia wasn't very well received mostly for the graphics for being different to its contemporaries, it's an odd game that looks caught in between the PS1 and 2 eras, and not at all what people expected would follow up Symphonia.
        Personally, while I don't love Legendia, I think it's obvious which are the worst 3 Tales games.
        3rd worst is Graces, because it introduced everything wrong with modern Tales (combo tree, flash over substance, dogshit characters, destroyed the CC system which was invented for air combat). People jerk off over the gameplay, but it's restrictive because of the combo tree and because of how defense-oriented it is. You spend a lot of your time holding square in that game.
        Second worst is Berseria as it is a sequel to Zestiria, and it made the combo tree formula by reducing it to just button mashing and getting rid of directional inputs. Only good thing about the game are Magilou and Eleanor.
        Worst overall is Zestiria. Bad everything, there's a reason Baba got canned over it.

          >combo tree
          Outside of taking out the 3 basic attack strings, how is this really that different from something like Symphonia? Just like artes go from 1CC->2CC->etc, techs/artes go from basic->master->arcane. Zestiria at least made the improvement where you could mix in quicksteps and B-artes to quickly skip through tiers.
