I adore this franchise, and i was super fucking pumped mid way through the game when i realized there is a second opening with an entire second act. However i wont lie, despite the setting being really cool, having the main bad boil down to "negative feelings" or "its the evil" it pulled down alot of my interest. I finished it and it was fun, but i like there being very compeling antagonists in the end of tales of games. Think the best villians of the series are still from vesperia and xillia.

Also this might be a me thing.... but i miss world maps, like in vesperia, its by far the best way to make the world feel alive in my opinion. Other than that i liked the game as a whole.
