The areas and the combat looks similar to Xenoblade X. Arise looks like it will be baller though. Edited August 17, 2021 by Goukosan Link to post Share on other sites

It sounds like you've never played a Tales game before, but the combat is nothing like Xenoblade's. Link to post Share on other sites

Let me expound a little bit more. The open world , jumping while exploring and vast verticality of the world are all staples of Xenoblade and these things are new to the tales series with Arise. I did not say the combat is the same I said it looks similar. Xenoblade X and 2 had a greater focus on combos than the original. Obviously how you achieve these combos will differ from Arise as in tales you combo through button... conversely in Xenoblade X and 2 you combo through commands.. Link to post Share on other sites

Xenoblade has floaty MMO combat. Its nothing like Tales where the animations line up with your inputs. Link to post Share on other sites

What you're discribing is auto attack(which is the most basic of basic attack) , which different from skills, combos and regular attacks. Link to post Share on other sites

You could literally hit a button for the skill, and move backwards away from the enemy, and the attack will still hit even if the character's weapon doesn't actually connect with the enemy's model. Its floaty and unresponsive just like WoW or the typical WoW-like MMO. Link to post Share on other sites

Its floaty and unresponsive just like WoW or the typical WoW-like MMO. Once you commit to a skill you can't move, you can cancel into another skill to start a combo. If you're far from the enemy the attack wouldn't count as a hit. (guns obviously hit from further away) The game literally has posional elements to the all the attacks... I mean you would know this if you played beyond piece of the first game out of a 4 game series Link to post Share on other sites

Casual 786 Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 Anyone else play the demo? Pretty damn good I thought. Much higher production values than I’d have expected. The battle music bangs, reminds me of baiten kaitos Link to post Share on other sites
