Yes, it is on my waitlist right now. It will be the next Tales game I play for sure. I also have Tales of Graces F remastered on my waitlist. Just waiting for time and price drops.

You lying liar. With Berseria getting a remaster soon, I waited and have been playing Tales of Grace F, which already had a remaster and was originally Japanese only…and actually on the Wii.

1. Do you like the Tales series? I do. I’ve played Tales of: Abyss, Symphonia, Phatasia, Vesperia, and Arise. I like all of them, though I did think Vesperia was closest to boring of the bunch. Just me, though.

2. This one is cute, not the best, not the worst. I’m probably 50%(maybe more) through. It has good characters, but the fighting system in this one is an anomaly for the series and, well, I don’t think much of it. Functional, though.

Something I like about Dragon Quest and the Tales of games is that they have kept their gameplay and style through various generations. Unlike Final Fantasy, which has been abandoned at this point and no longer is anything like the series it was.

Anyone else like this series?

As I said there, I did actually enjoy the core gameplay and story as being very Diablo, but since all of that largely acted as an extended tutorial for the “post-game” endless grind that I hated, it didn’t work for me.

Agreed. It was fun at first, and then the end game was a slog. I haven’t played it in a long time.

I sort of feel like I “beat” the game and was done with it.

I’m using a PS4 controller but all the prompts are X-box prompts. This does not help. I might buy an X-box controller but then I have to learn X-box. Kinda in for a rough time either way.

That is odd. Having said that, I bought a very cheap Xbox like controller(also has Switch layout on it) and have used it fully for my PC gaming.

Works great with Steam and my Steam Deck.

I think it has to be a dual sense controller to reflect the right buttons on a PC, which the PS4 controller is not. But the PS5 controller should work, and I bought one of those, so we’ll see how it goes.
