Tales of Arise is the 17th mainline entry into Bandai Namco’s “Tales” JRPG series – Also known as the “Tales of” series – Which released in September of 2021. It follows the amnesiac Alphen – Though he’s introduced as Iron Mask, more details later – and Shionne, combating Renan lords for their own individual reasons. Either way, the overarching goal is Dahna’s liberation from Rena, and it’s not exactly what some might call a “Simple task”, especially as the story progresses and more is revealed.
Trying to find that line where fantasy and sci-fi cross over each other in interesting and occasionally not-so-interesting ways has led me here. That, and I wanted to get that mild-disappointment-in-Final-Fantasy-taste out of my mouth, and am currently too lazy to deal with the issues that the original Dead Space has or the arguably more lengthy timesink that X4 is. I know that leading this review by saying “This was my third choice” might not be the absolute best idea, but – For what it’s worth – It’s different enough from those titles that I have no problem saying it.
