After 50 hours, we were finally here. Three of my best friends and I were on the precipice of the world’s salvation. We’d fought together, bled together, and now we face the end, together. This is what the Tales of series is all about.
While each takes place in vastly different worlds with their own quirks and characters, the Tales series always manages what countless others fail to. I’ve yet to find another series that so perfectly encapsulates what a grand-scale journey might be like for those that take it on. And with each major release, the series distills the essence of camaraderie and friendship, of struggle and perseverance into a potent tonic.
Console Creatures writes, “In no particular order, we're ranking some of the best Tales Of games to launch.”
All the entries of the Tales Games are good in their own way but I would swap Berseria and Symphonia around. I like Berseria but I prefer Xillia 2 then Berseria. Be nice if Namco brings Xillia to PS5, along with the older Tales titles, and the Xenosaga trilogy.
Today it was announced that the gaming and anime industry has lost another beloved artist and creator. Mutsumi Inomata has passed away.
The Tales Of series are some of the best RPGs I've ever played, and the characters are a big reason for that. I don't think I played a single game in the series that I didn't enjoy. Rest in peace.
We're 3 months into the year and I feel like we're taking nothing but L's.
Wow she was the character designer for Tales of Destiny one of my favorites of all time =(
I love the Tales games. Phantasia will always be my favorite. Ironically I felt like as the series progressed the character design became too “anime cliche.”
Here are the most peaceful areas in games that are otherwise quite violent, offering players respite from chaos in the game world.
My first thought was the safe rooms in the resident evil series. When you hear that enchanting music you know you’re safe.
I literally just came here to post this. That music in the Resi 1 safe rooms is playing in my head.
I was thinking TLOU work benches. Although I remember one time where it was a false security.
Perfect. 👌👌
I'd add the top of my highrise apartment in GTA Online. That calm, quiet peace, just knowing as soon as I step out that door I will be bombarded by 8 and 12 year olds calling each other n**** and f****, trolled by combat jets and rocket launchers.
The entire map of SotC is peaceful as hell. Used to just ride around exploring it.
Afterlife in Cyberpunk 2077 is a peaceful area? Erm, hands down and very hard to miss, Misty Olszewski's Esoterica is the absolute epitome of peaceful areas in that game.
The "last of us" deer location i found to be a welcoming respite. It was nice to not have someone trying to eat me.
They needs to slow down with the releases...Tales seems to be the assassins creed of japan.
It's a great RPG series
It's fun and engaging battle system similar to the Star Ocean series.
i love Tales of.... evrything. every one ive played has been really fun and pretty well written. i always walk away impressed.
