Character development and party banter, mostly. I'm surprised the idea of skits haven't been adapted by other franchises. Also, good combat and waifus.

Odin Sphere Leifhtrasir is the best Tales game desu.
I kinda wish more Tales games with good gameplay let you skip cutscenes. The JRPG part in these games gets pretty egregious, I don't mind the dungeon crawling or the puzzle solving but the 30 minutes long unskippable cutscenes before a boss get grating. Nothing that's not solved with fast-forwarding in emulators, but emulating games is pretty soulless.
You end up in a bizarre world where only Graces, Zestiria and maybe Xillia 2 are playable. Huge shame too because Destiny 2 has my favorite combat system in the series, though it's hard to fault them because that was all pretty standard for the time. Still, as I get older I cannot for the life of me give a single FUCK about a Tales game's story. Or JRPGs in general. I love Bealphareth to death and the cutscenes are so well fucking animated and everything but the dialogue goes on and on and it all fucking sucks. Does Hearts R have skippable cutscenes?

What are the battle systems in these game like?
Closer to fighting games? I'm strictly talkng about the older ones, where does the focus lie?

They're a lot closer to fighting games/beat em ups with stats and that's great desu. The reason I like Leifhtrasir is because it almost plays like a Tales game where you can set up your custom pad motions to input all the skills characters have in real time.
I like that in Destiny 2 for example you're managing stamina AND MP bars at the same time while duking it out for territory in a sort of tug of war against your enemies because you need to space your party out properly since where they stand directly ties to their available stamina, but enemies are so tough you'll want to use spells to start combos and it helps that every character is essentially a battle mage and fast casting is a DDR minigame where you do inputs on the d-pad to speed up the process. On the whole it's just fucking cool.
Rebirth also puts a lot of focus on proper spacing but the battlefields are 3-lane affairs. A lot of enemy skills are focused on taking space from you and your party, and otherwise characters control slowly enough that it feels like you're dealing with a Monster Hunter in 2D more than anything.

>I'm surprised the idea of skits haven't been adapted by other franchises
I'm not, it's a ton of extra voice acting for something optional and because it's optional 90% of it is completely uninteresting regurgitation of information you already know from a story scene you literally just watched or an extremely basic attempt at humor that might get a mild chuckle at best. So unless you're going full autistic where you watch every single one you're not going to see the ones that are actually good.
Most other RPG's that aren't retarded just have the party members bantering in the background while you're playing the game instead of killing the pace.
