I love how this opening captures the hearts of the character when the game begins. Kisara can't face her brother, Law can't face his past, Rinwell trusts no one but Hootle, Alphen is reliant on Zephyr to understand life, Dohalim is alone yet surrounded... and no one can get near Shionne.
@@wes_cab not really lol, I mean I went back and played new game plus on Berseria and at least either watched it when I started it or when I went back to the title screen
I really love that the combat scenes emphasize their unique mechanics, like Shionnes ray blast or Kisara light shield. Brilliant touch that informs gameplay
That’s a nice touch however this opening is extremely generic and uninspired overall. The Berseria one is a lot superior and had better combat scenes too. Nevertheless I like both Arise openings because they give a very good idea of what the game will be and who the characters are. To the point it has info on the gameplay as the game lacks interesting enemies (with very few exceptions) so you fight repeatedly an army of giant beasts which take a combined effort to kill.
After this game, definitely try Tales of Vesperia. Arguably the best installment in the series, next to Symphonia. The story is amazing! I think it originally came out in 2008 so it’s obviously gonna be a step down in graphics and gameplay intricacies but it’s definitely worth a play for any Tales fan or any RPG fan in general.
No multiplayer killed the game for me before I could even try it a bold move for the trails series in a game they really need to succeed as well heh heh
This kinda funny because in the demo there was a section when exploring the overworld the protagonist goes this cliff part where you can look at further ahead areas and he makes a comment while standing a top on it. Seems like the MC genuinely likes hiking lol.

Is this a joke? Arise is a great game and an excellent new entry to the Tales series but the first Nier game is a once-in-a-generation masterpiece. An absolute triumph of story telling and character building rarely seen in video games or any medium of entertainment. It’s breaks tropes and JRPG stereotyped alike and is a singular game that is unlike anything else in its scope of writing and narrative.
@@TheShadowPandora I mean, I agree 100%, but it's his opinion so more power to him. ToA is still a great game, among the best within the Tales franchise.
@@shairajrajendra8843 tbh main catch with replicant is its technically a rerelease still tho I finished the true endings to it and god damn that was a good one
@@TheShadowPandora Sure you’re not wrong, Replicants story and characters are master class BUT you can have the best story ever told in history within your game, but if it’s not FUN to play then it’s gonna hurt the overall package way more, and replicant has got to have one of if not the worst sets of side quests I’ve ever played in a rpg. 70 versions of ‘go collect a bunch of rare items for me and then do it again and again and again with different items’ or ‘go find this obscure item 10 losing zones away not marked anywhere on your map’ or ‘go slowly walk this package across every zone of the game without ever jumping, running, or being hit’. There was not a single fun or ingesting side quest in that entire game it was a massive slog that was painfully unfun to play through, carried by an incredible story and characters. ToA isn’t exactly on par with Nier’s story but it’s leaps and bounds ahead in gameplay and fun factor and that’s a lot more important to a game, plus the characters and story while not AS great, ARE still fantastic.
I hope we get a Tales of Arise 2, I finished the main game and the DLC a few days ago and quite frankly, these characters and their story are too good to just move on to the project. I really enjoyed the constant banter and skits between the characters and watching them bond and grow.
I do love this crew, and I do feel Alphen and Shionnes teased final, final ending was cut short just a little too soon (without spoiling too much). But that having said, I think the DLC has shown that the general character arc growth has come to a relatively full conclusion, with nowhere to expand into. The group of Arise are now a very merry chummy group of close friends. I personally think main characters are more interesting when the character arcs are still unestablished, growing, or aren't finished yet. So I think we need a new group of protagonists with distrust, hidden agendas, and quibbles. Something to flesh out more. Vengeance? Redemption? And so on.
The Opening is so good, I especially like the parts where the melody breaks and we get the english lyrics as a toneshift for the song to pick up again after that!
This was my first tales game, and I absolutely loved it. Engaging story, characters, artwork, etc. Really enjoyed it. I know they already said they won't have dlc or anything else and that's totally fine. I felt pretty satisfied with the ending and all the character arcs.

Three years to this day, yet for some reason I woke up today randomly with this song stuck in my head. I was not thinking about anything remotely tales related for months.
tales of arise got me into the series currently playing through berseria and i think i will play more after! never played a series that made me so happy before
Fun Fact if you didn't know: The same people responsible for the banger that is Haruka Mirai (aka Black Clover opening 1) is responsible for the opening song. Love Kankakupiero
Damn, this Tales managed to get all the clichés i love: a badass MC with a flaming sword; a creepy psycho nemesis (which also has a cool sword); and a beautiful (probably) romanceable female MC. Yep, i'm sold.
Can’t explain how happy to see people love this game. My sister and I played it together (more like I was backseat watching lol) I cried over this game more then once
0:35 - 0:38 yoooo not only do they give tales of the abyss macedonia / Malkuth area Vibes but also that classic instrument ring/Hum in the back ground they use from TOA Karma opening , IM HYPED this game might be a culmination of Tales of the Abyss and other more homage to previous releases , this will be a birth of a GOD , glory to tales series !!
The game has been in development since 2018, and some of the staff worked on some of the studio's earliest games, like Tales of Phantasia. Minoru Iwamoto (who worked on several "Tales of -" games) is both chara designer and artistic director, while the project director is Hirokazu Kagawa (Tales of Xillia, Tales of Graces, Tales of Berseria). Music by Motoi Sakuraba (most of "Tales of-" titles, a few "Star Ocean -" games, Shing Force III, Golden Sun...) Game is in good hands! Source: reddit, dualshockers.
This game seem to have some God Eater and Code Vein references too though. So I am wondering if some of the Dev worked on God Eater\Code Vein games as well.
there are some things you expect in a "Tales" game. You expect the story will start out with 2 waring countries. You expect that the battle system will be fast and complex as you need it to be. You expect lots of customization options, for a JRPG. You expect that the story will have head turning revelations that change the way you perceive the in game world and people. Have fun!
It’s still a while until Arise comes out, why not try out a few while you wait? Tales of Vesperia and Tales of Berseria are a good picks right on the PS4, especially Vesperia which I can give a full recommendation as that’s the first one I beat when I first started out Just a suggestion
Remember, once you played one, go play them all... cuz that what I did... my first tales game was Berseria, but after I done that, I went back and got the old ones once they're on sale
This is only the second one I've played since Tales of Graces F. I enjoyed that one and I'm enjoying this one so far. I really should get into the others by some point.
@@Sebek031 oh at 0:19 they have some images that hint at what happened at lenegis, but nobody who plays the game for the first time will ever pay attention or notice it’s lenegis at all
I’m getting it for Christmas alongside Demon Slayer and I still need to play more of Berseria because I barley played that since I still only have Velvet and Rokurou as my team
Hesitantly picked up this game maybe three days ago, never heard of this series. The intro is highly addictive to listen to. I can see this being a GREAT game.
Okay I'm convinced ufotable is basically the Tales of/TYPE-MOON studio in my eyes. 0:50-0:55 When the Tales of Series goes full Utena on us. Small edit: Holy crap the OP done by the same people behind Black Clover's 1st OP? I love this intro *so* much more!
90 hours!? Nice lol You must have be taking your sweet time just like me! I'm currently 23 hours in and I just finished beating Ganabelt lol. So I don't even have my full party yet Haha!! This is going to be a very Loooooong game for me 🤗

30 hours in and its probably going to take the spot from Nier Replicant as my favorite game of the year.
Is this a joke? Arise is a great game and an excellent new entry to the Tales series but the first Nier game is a once-in-a-generation masterpiece. An absolute triumph of story telling and character building rarely seen in video games or any medium of entertainment. It’s breaks tropes and JRPG stereotyped alike and is a singular game that is unlike anything else in its scope of writing and narrative.
@@TheShadowPandora I mean, I agree 100%, but it's his opinion so more power to him. ToA is still a great game, among the best within the Tales franchise.
Nice preference but if you're saying it's better than nier replicant then I kindly disagree
@@shairajrajendra8843 tbh main catch with replicant is its technically a rerelease still tho I finished the true endings to it and god damn that was a good one
@@TheShadowPandora Sure you’re not wrong, Replicants story and characters are master class BUT you can have the best story ever told in history within your game, but if it’s not FUN to play then it’s gonna hurt the overall package way more, and replicant has got to have one of if not the worst sets of side quests I’ve ever played in a rpg. 70 versions of ‘go collect a bunch of rare items for me and then do it again and again and again with different items’ or ‘go find this obscure item 10 losing zones away not marked anywhere on your map’ or ‘go slowly walk this package across every zone of the game without ever jumping, running, or being hit’. There was not a single fun or ingesting side quest in that entire game it was a massive slog that was painfully unfun to play through, carried by an incredible story and characters. ToA isn’t exactly on par with Nier’s story but it’s leaps and bounds ahead in gameplay and fun factor and that’s a lot more important to a game, plus the characters and story while not AS great, ARE still fantastic.
I hope we get a Tales of Arise 2, I finished the main game and the DLC a few days ago and quite frankly, these characters and their story are too good to just move on to the project. I really enjoyed the constant banter and skits between the characters and watching them bond and grow.
I do love this crew, and I do feel Alphen and Shionnes teased final, final ending was cut short just a little too soon (without spoiling too much).
But that having said, I think the DLC has shown that the general character arc growth has come to a relatively full conclusion, with nowhere to expand into. The group of Arise are now a very merry chummy group of close friends.
I personally think main characters are more interesting when the character arcs are still unestablished, growing, or aren't finished yet. So I think we need a new group of protagonists with distrust, hidden agendas, and quibbles. Something to flesh out more. Vengeance? Redemption? And so on.
The Opening is so good, I especially like the parts where the melody breaks and we get the english lyrics as a toneshift for the song to pick up again after that!

This was my first tales game, and I absolutely loved it. Engaging story, characters, artwork, etc. Really enjoyed it. I know they already said they won't have dlc or anything else and that's totally fine. I felt pretty satisfied with the ending and all the character arcs.
If you ever get the chance try other Tales of, is one of the best franchise imo.
Play tales of vesperia next many say it's their favourite before arise
@@robzsarmy5471 I bought vesperia on my switch recently since it was on sale and started it today cause I beat arise and I already bought berseria too since it was on sale and I'm excited to get into the series more
@@finnthehuman40 Berseria is awesome, and a personal favorite. Velvet is a badass lol.
Sword art online dlc : lmao
Even tho this game had the happiest ending ive ever seen in a tales game, i still ended up tearing a bit when this song played in the credits.
Now we just waiting for the game that sweet sweet tales of arise
I spent the last 2 months playing Elden Ring not giving a thought about tales of Arise and now suddenly this song and the second opening come to mind and i cant help it but my eyes are just flooding with tears from remembrance of this game. It just gave me so much i cant explain it. I will forever love it and whoever teils you this game is cliche or whatever just ignore those haters! We all know what we got from this game. Keep the flame alive!!!

Won the award for Best RPG at the Game Awards
This game deserves to be the best RPG game of the year!!
I still think Rinwell is adorable and isn't getting the recognition she deserves
Yeah she's cute and all, but Kisara though...
Oh she's getting a LOT of recognition from me, believe me.
This game basically stars a bunch of hotties, to be honest. Even the two MCs, whom I wasn't so fond of so far, look pretty great thanks to this OP.
Rinwell absolutely wrecks the battlefield with her magic. Going up against mobs with her is so much fun.
@@arunlonewolfX rinwell and law is the best you can use.rinwell magic is just massive and deals lot of dmg and can also "steal" enemy magic and for law,......he just keep spamming mystic artes
This opening visual alone can guarantee this game to be a game of the year candidate
Nah, an overated kids game one goty
Three years to this day, yet for some reason I woke up today randomly with this song stuck in my head. I was not thinking about anything remotely tales related for months.
I will watch this literally every time I boot up the game just like I did with Berseria.

tales of arise got me into the series
currently playing through berseria
and i think i will play more after!
never played a series that made me so happy before
Watching on repeat 😅
Anyone who wants to listen to the JP version, it's in the official Tales of RUclips Channel.

I really hope they become a couple! The tales series needs to bring romance back
Senel and Chloe ❤
Well they did it! Most romantic ending!

Two married one open
Am a proud Tales fan, and I'm glad Tales of Arise lived up to its hype.
This and Elden Ring are my most wanted games right now.
Same.
Add SMT5 and you have my three most anticipated games right now.^^
same
All tales of openings give me hope.
0:37 damn Kisara 😆
The best tales ever, the story, the plot, gameplay, combat system, n etc. Super good
I just realized this is the full English one. YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Excuse me good sir. This is the full Engrish one.
Deadass did not realize this was English. My brain just assumed it was Japanese.
I'm 36 I've been playing video games all my life and a big anime fan so with that being said the tales intro just made my life complete.
38 years old. Same here = )
I went into this game blind today and I heard this opening and I've been hooked on everything about this game since
Fun Fact if you didn't know: The same people responsible for the banger that is Haruka Mirai (aka Black Clover opening 1) is responsible for the opening song. Love Kankakupiero
They also did Rakugaki Page (or Black Clover OP 6) which is also a banger
@@knuckles7995 yeah they did
0:44-0:47 Tanjiro hearing a sad story about a demon he's about to slay?

Wasn't just me then, alright.

I’m glad it wasn’t just me.
LMAO
Damn, this Tales managed to get all the clichés i love: a badass MC with a flaming sword; a creepy psycho nemesis (which also has a cool sword); and a beautiful (probably) romanceable female MC.
Yep, i'm sold.
this game is giving me ff12 vibes i dont know why
And now we see how they subvert all these cliches in traditional Tales series story telling.
Can’t explain how happy to see people love this game. My sister and I played it together (more like I was backseat watching lol) I cried over this game more then once
Playing Tales of Arise is one of the biggest achievements in my life. 😍😍😍
Can't wait for this game! Big shield mommy gf is looking 🔥🔥🔥

Pure art of Game. Like an playable Anime. Great Story, great charakters and an awesome Soundtrack. 10/10 for any Anime Lover. Love it.
One of the most fire anime game intros ever 🔥 would love an anime from this but I'm completely satisfied with playing the game.
0:35 - 0:38 yoooo not only do they give tales of the abyss macedonia / Malkuth area Vibes but also that classic instrument ring/Hum in the back ground they use from TOA Karma opening , IM HYPED this game might be a culmination of Tales of the Abyss and other more homage to previous releases , this will be a birth of a GOD , glory to tales series !!
Beat this game while it was still fresh.
And no game since then has captured my interest like this one.
go play Berseria
@@r.a.fgattaiguy845
Thinking about it.Gotta borrow a PS4 since the game isn't on Xbox
@@HolyOrderSeifer it´s also on Steam
Play Final fantasy 7 remake
Try Ys lacrimosa of dana...one of the best action rpg ever and ost is a masterpiece...
I WILL PLAY ALL TALES OF SERIES IN MY LIFE! THANK YOU BRING THIS GAME !
The game has been in development since 2018, and some of the staff worked on some of the studio's earliest games, like Tales of Phantasia. Minoru Iwamoto (who worked on several "Tales of -" games) is both chara designer and artistic director, while the project director is Hirokazu Kagawa (Tales of Xillia, Tales of Graces, Tales of Berseria). Music by Motoi Sakuraba (most of "Tales of-" titles, a few "Star Ocean -" games, Shing Force III, Golden Sun...) Game is in good hands! Source: reddit, dualshockers.
This game seem to have some God Eater and Code Vein references too though. So I am wondering if some of the Dev worked on God Eater\Code Vein games as well.
I have never played a Tales of game before, but this game is the first game in a while to get me hyped! Definitely buying day one!
there are some things you expect in a "Tales" game. You expect the story will start out with 2 waring countries. You expect that the battle system will be fast and complex as you need it to be. You expect lots of customization options, for a JRPG. You expect that the story will have head turning revelations that change the way you perceive the in game world and people. Have fun!
It’s still a while until Arise comes out, why not try out a few while you wait? Tales of Vesperia and Tales of Berseria are a good picks right on the PS4, especially Vesperia which I can give a full recommendation as that’s the first one I beat when I first started out
Just a suggestion
Remember, once you played one, go play them all... cuz that what I did... my first tales game was Berseria, but after I done that, I went back and got the old ones once they're on sale
This is only the second one I've played since Tales of Graces F. I enjoyed that one and I'm enjoying this one so far. I really should get into the others by some point.
I love how these Tales openings don't spoil a single thing in the game. They just give us a mashup of characters and locations. :)
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh depends on what you calllll a spoiler....
Usually most opening scenes are just clues to what is going to happen in a story. It is like spoiler without context
This op spoils a lot
@@Sebek031 spoils what?
@@Sebek031 oh at 0:19 they have some images that hint at what happened at lenegis, but nobody who plays the game for the first time will ever pay attention or notice it’s lenegis at all
they better give us a happy ending. i am currenty broken after completing berseria and dont want to be more broken after this game
Ye , about that

Best Tales I ever played !
I just started this game today and its so god damn good!
Facts! I am about 8 hours in and it's pretty great so far!

Hesitantly picked up this game maybe three days ago, never heard of this series. The intro is highly addictive to listen to. I can see this being a GREAT game.
This in September and SMT 5 in November, truly a great year to be alive
Okay I'm convinced ufotable is basically the Tales of/TYPE-MOON studio in my eyes.
0:50-0:55 When the Tales of Series goes full Utena on us.
Small edit: Holy crap the OP done by the same people behind Black Clover's 1st OP? I love this intro *so* much more!
Yall, the hype is real and Shionne is way too beautiful for my poor heart
Really hyped right now, been waiting for this since Berseria
That's a long time 😂
This giving me nostalgia already and it hasn't been that long since I finished this game. I love this game ngl
love this song, just finished the game. it’s a masterpiece.
This looks like a show not a game! It looks good
That's because this was an anime opening movie and not done in the game engine.
The tales style feels that way, they do it intentionally too, ufotable try to animate as close to the game engine style as they can too
didnt expect to enjoy this game so much that this game got in my dreams last night lmao
lmao what did you dreamed?
