I bought this. It's my first Tales game.
Did I fuck up?
>>376920883
not really. its ok.
>>376920883
No. It's the best balance of seriousness and it's anime-trop heavy experience. The only real downside is that part 2's battle system exists.
>>376920940
Only thing I knew us Zestria is terrible
No, it's one of the better recent ones.
It's okay, general opinion is that it's a solid entry with flaws, but not offensively so and it's a good entry point for the series.
Also Milla is objectively best girl in the series.
>>376920883
Nah, it's pretty solid. It does feel like it was rushed so it could release as an anniversary title. Play Jude's route first, there's not a whole bunch of differences between the routes.
>>376920883
X1 is a pretty ok Tales. Not the best but not the worst. It sets up X2 which is so much better, imo, so if you want more Tales you have that.

>The only real downside is that part 2's battle system exists.
but part 2 generally had a better battle system.
unless youre saying its bad because its easily exploitable and makes the game way too easy if you know what youre doing.
>>376920883
It's good. Don't play Xillia 2, it's hot garbage.
>>376920883
Xillia was my first tales too. Got me hooked on grinding because I found fighting system to be really fun.
>>376921182
Sorry, but that is Sheena

>Did I fuck up?
Yes, son. After 2 decades you're still a fucking EOP! You are disowned.
Get out of my board.

>milla some slut he's been with for a few months "dies"
>he starts crying like a bitch for months
What a pussy
It's fairly middle of the road but a good time nonetheless.
Soundtrack any good?
Yes, you fucked up. Xillia is one of the worst entries in the series. Go play some Eternia, Destiny R, Symphonia, Rebirth, Abyss, Vesperia, Graces.
>>376920883
At least it isn't graces.
>>376924178
Graces hasn't been topped
>>376924246
Graces is objectively the worst Tales game
>>376920883
It's ok.
Xillia 2 is trash and the battle system sucks, ignore the autists who love it because they can slowly dial in infinite combos
Vesperia is a better Xillia. Symphonia is good but shows its age. Graces has fun combat but the most painfully obnoxious if all the casts. Berseria and Zestiria are awful on all fronts
>>376924271
Phantasia and Zestria exist
Nah, it's good. Be sure to play Xillia 2 afterwards, it's the best Tales game.
>>376921063
It's a bad Tales games, but not as bad as Zestiria. That said I hope you enjoy yourself, OP.
>>376924537
I like phantasia
>>376920883
It's like Symphonia in which it's mediocre as hell
You'll probably like the character interactions but nothing else beyond that
>>376923814
nope, most tales games have boring soundtracks
zestiria has the best soundtrack by go shiina but that's all it has going for it
>>376921182
Not even best in her game.
