It's amazing how I used to be a big fan of these games. Would watch combo vids on youtube for hours on end. Now I'm completely uninterested in this shyt. If you've played one Tales games you've played them all. They don't offer anything new. The games seem lazily made. (uninspiring music, re-used assets, made up names that looked like it came from a 5 year old)

Are there any black people in this one?

Of course not.

One of the protagonist has brown skin

The game was made in a country where well under 1% of the population would be black. Do you really want people who've likely never encountered a black person trying to write and create one? Barret Wallace anyone?

facts

hard to judge gameplay when people fukking suck

Dope as reviewer vid from months ago I just found that breaks down battle mechanics nicely. :ehh:



I only got to spend like 10 minutes with the demo and off that alone. I'm sold. Day 1 cop without questions. I just got to figure if I'm going all digital for the deluxe version with the extra costumes. :jbhmm:

Of course not.
The whole genre could use some innovation, true. I will play but its definitely gonna be the same old structure of everything revolving around fetch quests.
