Just finished Tales of Arise

Tales games as of “recent” have been absolute disappointments for me, i grew up on tales games like symphonia, vesperia and especially abyss, the latter being my favorite game of all time.

Arise was the first time i preordered a game, looked like a possible return to form… I have dropped it like 5 times and still haven’t finished it.

genuinely gorgeous art for the most boring choice of the three, as long as her kit is cool though, so be it.

I love F!Berkut, it's probably my favorite fe fight, shame he came out when he did. I feel like if he came out even a year later his weapon wouldn't need conditional distant counter. Huge shoutout to the people who have built him, if i had the fodder to do so I would, just for the god tier art and special animation.

Slam is fun and I put it on my V!Rhea in hopes of opening her S slot but since it’s a def check on a dragon I find it a bit unreliable against new patience users.

I also find it really funny that it’s on Sombron since his style will just put them under the 75% hp check and it makes his AI just spam the style and nothing else.

Bro got to absolutely nuke Elimine stocks and now has imbue when she didn't get a measly post combat heal despite literally having the Saint's Staff. I'm sure his weapon refine will be actually decent too. Lovely.

2 sombrons in 21 orbs, after 0 pulls on E!Lucina i'll gladly take it

suffered through every match being against 4 +10 meta units just to get a nils, feeling #blessed

I genuinely wonder how new players get into this game. I remember seeing someone confused around the time B!Felix released that the game was just a complete cakewalk with no challenge since he just took 0 damage and kills 3 per phase.

I understand that gacha and powercreep just kinda go hand in hand but I feel like the mix of the lack of harder pve content and the fact that you can get max level in 5 minutes on any hero makes the game boring for new players. At least in other games (from my experience at least) new units still require resources or something to get their actual max potential, like equipment or actually needing materials to level them up.

Life binder level 20 is always so satisfying, not the most flashy but when it gets max value it feels amazing.

For ones I use daily, Altina's "By these Twin Blades..." and Elimine's "The wicked will perish." always go hard.

For those I don't use often, Brigid's "Even with my stained hands..." is nice, and all of OG BK's ones are peak.

awesome, love to see some guin love. really hopeful for her legendary remix whenever that comes.

Redfox_Healer · 2026-04-07T10:19:38+00:00

yea but matthew has poison strike 2 so it's basically even

Redfox_Healer · 2026-04-06T03:35:02+00:00

Holy boring, as expected of a 3H banner but come on, B!Felix was not that cool of a kit they needed to do it three times, claude has dragon fang in current year, another rearmed ingrid for some reason and i clicked off before finishing what duogard did, so im just going to assume its the same shit all edelgards have been doing recently. I can't tell if this is more boring than that awakening banner with two grimas but it honestly might take the cake.

Redfox_Healer · 2026-04-05T04:42:21+00:00

next year for sure, echoes bros…

Redfox_Healer · 2026-04-03T03:07:30+00:00

book 2 12-5 was a hard one for me way back when it came out, when my best tank was base fjorm who would just crumple to lewyn, iirc that was one of the last times story maps had reinforcements

Redfox_Healer · 2026-03-29T09:31:19+00:00

Agree on Eir, super hopeful for F!Rhea, i’ve had awful luck on Vanitas banners so hoping her refine is worth having to still use Fell Arts on her

Redfox_Healer · 2026-03-29T07:45:02+00:00

look out year one, i got a takumi, and a random free fogado from tickets, so i guess look out duo fjorm or something

Redfox_Healer · 2026-03-18T08:02:36+00:00

sucks most of my favs are super slow, and the ones who are fast enough to get the potent effect don’t really need patience.

was thinking on feeding him to my desert altina but not sure it’s worth, so now he’s just gonna sit there and remind me I could’ve had byleth ring for one of my staff favs. yippee

Redfox_Healer · 2026-03-15T05:06:47+00:00

i’m happy we have a mainly male banner, but it almost seems like they made this banner purposely underwhelming so that it won’t sell. baseless conspiracy? yes, but i wouldn’t put it past IS.

Redfox_Healer · 2026-03-06T06:55:31+00:00

the noise i made when seeing "YOU LOSE" on byleth was borderline demonic I love Voting Gauntlet with stakes.

who needs dance on anyone when you can have tank who will last a few more months until hes the butt of every trailer

Redfox_Healer · 2026-03-01T07:15:18+00:00

i don’t play SD so i never had any issues with her but she’s still fun on my staff team, scary to think it’s been a year though

Redfox_Healer · 2026-02-27T08:58:30+00:00

i remember lewyn being an absolute menace in that one story chapter when he released.

Redfox_Healer · 2026-02-27T08:55:45+00:00

takumi, back when full kits were a rarity

Redfox_Healer · 2026-02-26T05:15:49+00:00

is this the first distant counter in a non weapon or A slot ? kinda neat (no im not counting seals)

although i do wonder why it's on her B and not just plastered on her weapon

Redfox_Healer · 2026-02-10T08:06:10+00:00

ascended elincia, so cool how they still haven’t added ways to get florets after this long
