Finish replaying the game for 2nd time + DLC beyond the dawn. One of the best JRPG no doubt.

DLC was okay. nothing like blood and wine kinda level, okay just for 1 playthrough

Too much talking and skits tho... sometime when the conversation to draggy or boring i just skip lol

I tried to play the DLC and it was awful. Very unimaginative, really seems like an afterthought.

Finished Beyond the Dawn expansion. It was a joy to go back and be in this world again, learn how to properly play every character, and see all the little threads of the story followed up on.

Finished Beyond the Dawn expansion. It was a joy to go back and be in this world again, learn how to properly play every character, and see all the little threads of the story followed up on. I kinda wish the sort of slice of life jrpg vibes of the first half had persisted as it became a bit less interesting as it moved into the usual "save the world" territory. But overall a great experience. Revisiting the game as well as two years of regularly thinking about it has made me decide to elevate this game up to one of my favorites of all time. Cant wait for their next game.

I kinda expected to find Beyond the Dawn on here as a separate thing, as it's sort of a small sequel to Tales of Arise. I guess it is still technically dlc as you need the original game to play it, even if you dont need to have finished it. Anyway, it feels really good to be back in that …

Anyway, it feels really good to be back in that world and spending time with my virtual friends again, lol.

It been almost a year since I got this on the series X, and it time to beat this because it has been too long, and I need to beat this game. I did check a summary on where I ended off just to make sure i remember everything, heard the second half is a bit more weaker then the first half but still want to finish the game since i put much time in it.

I've been distracted by Metroid Prime Remaster and Tears of the Kingdom from finishing Tales of Arise, but I'm back at it now. One hour long set of cut scenes later and I think I'm on the last road now.

They just keep talking...

Going back to this after taking a break for a bit on it, I think after I got to the second half, and as I am dying down on the trails series I want to get back into some other games.

This game is pretty fun but two things are turning me off so far:

  1. I knew this coming in, but the anime tropes do run pretty rampant in this game. The characters feel straight out of a shonen anime.
  2. I feel like the AI is completely bizarre and they go out of their way to get by attacks so far.

I feel like I am getting burned out by this game that I am starting to play other games alongside it. I am at the point of the game that I am like this should have ended a bit ago. I do like the second OP though.

Finished off the fourth realm tonight, and I have been told I am officially halfway through the game now so that is a cool thing. I am thinking I can get this done maybe by next week, I do not think I go for all achievements right away but I will do all side quests.

I stopped right before getting to this third area originally when this came out, and now I am kicking myself because this game has pulled me in. Is the story amazing, no it good, but I am hooked on the combat and every time I enter combat I feel right at home.

I think the way sidequests are in this game are very good. Some of them are very simple but Tales games have not been known for these sidequests (at least the ones I have finished before Arise), and it is a nice change of pace for it.

Beat the second major area tonight, now I would say I am generally at the area I was at when I stopped playing this on PC last year. 14 hours in too so not bad timing.

Now that my LAD PS5 journey is complete its time to go back to this, and beat it, I am not at the point I was where I stopped at but I am getting closer so I am thinking by this weekend's end I will be at where I stopped at.
