The Top 10 Things You NEED to Know Before Playing Tales of Arise! (Tips & Tricks - Spoiler Free)

[@smokeldogg]

Tips: don’t sell your old weapons because they’ll be materials for better weapons later. Sell your old armor. To get gald fast: FISH!

[@TheSliderW]

You could upgrade armor as well in berseria, Was this changed ?

[@smokeldogg]

@@TheSliderW Armor is not upgradeable or createable in Tales of Arise. You just use the armor you find in dungeons.

[@ericriding]

How do you fish? Is there a certain point in the game that you get a rod?

[@smokeldogg]

@@ericriding Yeah, you may have seen piers to fish from so far, but you don’t get the rod until about 35% of the way through the game. Hope you’re liking Arise as much as I did.

@Rajun_Kajun87 thank you. The only tip and trick video that EVER really showed me stuff the game doesn't tell me was a DBFZ video from a few years back

[@caravaneerkhed]

You’ll notice he doesn’t actually say the game doesn’t tell you in the video… it’s called click bait, and it’s a popular way to word something to get people to click… honestly inoffensive… what did you think the game isn’t going to tell you? Although I’m convinced the game never actually tells you how to switch characters during combat… I figured it out on my own, but looking through the tutorials… I don’t think the game ever actually tells you

Biggest tip: do not spam buttons all attacks need to come with intent since you can not cancel most artes. You will eat damage if you are spamming artes without following enemy attack patterns. The dodge without any buffs is very generous.

[@chinwenduizenwata6763]

@wishstruck good point about going in with intent. I finally started checking enemy weaknesses at the start of battle and I've been terrorizing enemies lately. Shionne really makes battles easy with her amazing keep away skills. I beat a lvl54 creature on Hard(took an hour though) thanks to her. I was around lvl 30 too it was great

[@penisraiel]

you don't need to know any of this before playing, i went in blind and they taught you all of this at the appropriate times.

[@romeostruedude]

@@Danny2k34 Cuz we were hoping for actual information. Not stuff the game literally has tutorial system for. More so things I should be on the look out. Should I do something major before this point in the game. Who has abilities that changes things drastically. Basically things that can get overlooked. Also what should you sell and not sell.

[@RagnarokMic]

Slight word of advice, when you start the game, you'll pass a giant mantis that your teammate'll recommend you stay away from...LISTEN. It's not one of those "Well, I'm good at games, so I gotta test this" sort of challenges, it would probably take hours of not getting hit a single time to beat that fucker at the start of the game, I lasted like 10-15 minutes and couldn't see any difference in its lifebar. I'm halfway through and still nowhere near the level of the big bastard. You'll even get a sidequest for it relatively early, accept it, and come back MUCH later.

[@NuclearToxinify]

Which character are you going to be playing mostly? I tried the demo and the MC's attack style didn't really clock with me, so I tried Rinwell (I think that's her name, the mage) and she seemed pretty cool. The combat has changed quite a bit from Berseria. In Berseria you unlocked skills that you could assign to different button pressses in a combo allowing you to set up different combo strings instead of skills being locked to a single button and letting you make your own combos and blending them together basedon the situation. You could do a combo and each skill would be on a different button depending on which combo you're doing and how far down the combo you are. I'm not saying I don't like Arise's combat, but so far I prefer Berseria's.

[@stickytim64]

As someone who's been playing tales games for over a decade, honestly berserias combat system was hard to get into. I like the fact that we are going back to having a basic attack button.

[@GcorpCoPrez]

I like alphen's combat style but he does take some getting used to. I also like Law and Kisara as well. Tried the others but I've never been a fan of mages or long range fighters in general. I'm kinda like law when he says it's easier to get in close and beat an enemy fast instead of doing all that other stuff. Though to be fair once you set up the ai for your party members right you can do your thing and they're fine

[@failegion7828]

Found the MC to be a real monster when it comes to burst damage. Through Rim and Shion are great for big bosses.

[@chinwenduizenwata6763]

@NuclearToxin many agree that Berseria's combat is better. I'm most disappointed with the loss of multiplayer here, but I'm satisfied so I won't complain. I like the simplicity of this over Berseria for sure. I couldn't consistently do 2nd or 3rd lvl mystic artes in Berseria for some reason, but I never fail this time around.

[@TheSliderW]

I don't remember there being a cosmetic limit in Xillia. You could place any cosmetic item (hat, dog face, flower, ...) on any body part of any character, scale and rotate it and you could come up with some hilarious characters for the cinematics. They limited that quite a lot in Berseria but can you still do it here ?
