Tales is Dead !

>>717728841 (OP)
Same as atelier
They don't make characters that appeal to otaku anymore

>>717728960
t

Edna is invisible

>>717730290
The modern Otaku is a tastless faggot that either likes Vtuber design or borderline AI chink shit, they are better not appealing to them.

>>717730290
this is the correct answer, character design in Tales is outdated as fuck. With Velvet they were close to making something that appeals to modern audiences (at the time) but Arise just screams generic mobile chink gaming, just look at this stupid shit, I can't with a straight face.

She might be next to you without you realizing it. Time to stay virgin until you 30 to see her

Finished Symphonia last year and have been playing through Vesperia lately. I wanna give Berseria a shot next because Magilou is hot.

The games are fun but they feel very “standard JRPG” to me. So far I haven’t seen anything that hasn’t been done the same if not better in other series. I dunno if the more recent games have amended it, and there is charm to their simplicity, but I can definitely see why the games aren’t that popular these days

>>717730290
Tales was never otaku bait though

>>717733898
Chuuni is part of Otaku

>So far I haven’t seen anything that hasn’t been done the same if not better in other series
Such as…?

>>717728841 (OP)
I do not care for gintama. Its not funny, and references to old japanese pop culture do not relate to me.
>but it gets good 100 episodes in
Fuck
Off

>>717735536
Off the top of my head I think the Xeno games and Nier series tackled the topics of Xenophobia and proxy warfare a lot better than Symphonia did

>>717733496
Good luck asking which one is prettier to anyone. A raped gothic crackhead girl or Shionne.

>>717735589
You will watch it regardless

and yes it will never get better
because its already peak at the very first episode and stays there till the end of the entire series, which is why it feels stale but its still undeniably better than anything else you've ever seen

>>717728841 (OP)
Good. They need to be taken down a peg and stop catering to westernfags and go back to being a cringe japanese game made for japanese. Better that way.

we breed Beryl here

>>717728841 (OP)
rip

why did they stop making games anyway? I liked it when they released a new game every year

>>717728841 (OP)
I want to fuck Edna

didn't the tales character designer dieded?
tales is finished

>>717741785
Only one of them died, the other is still alive. Her character design spanned pretty much the entire series though.

>>717741986
so what's the /v/erdict? is tales over and finished?

>>717742229
Its obviously over. Look at their website. Literally nothing but muh anniversary to sell merchs. Also they lied about Xillia Remaster (Port) that get announced last summer

>>717730290

Tales of Symphonia was the last game with character designs that I found appealing. Everything since then has been increasingly more abstract. The abstract fashion is common among anime games. I think of it as "high fashion", because it's the kind of wacky shit that you would find on the runway of a high fashion show.
When is the last time an RPG party looked like a group of adventurers with clear utility to the clothes they wear? With individual styles, that still feel cohesive as a group? And all appropriate for the setting?

Nowadays, everyone looks like they're dressed for the met gala, and I hate it.

>>717742627
>they lied about Xillia Remaster
source?
also it wasn't announced, it just appeared on some website but never confirmed

>>717742882
I mean its obvious they gonna announce Xillia next thanks to the leak. And they announce on Tales of Festival that Next Tales Remaster coming this summer lol
