However, the pacing and some plot threads could have been handled or explored far deeper. Still, once I started down the road with Alphen and company, I didn’t want to stop! The tone is decidedly darker in Tales of Arise and occasionally more melodramatic than its predecessors. Even as a Tales series veteran, there were several plot twists and surprises that I didn’t see coming or expect. I was intrigued by many reveals throughout the story and was always anxious to see what would happen next and keep pressing on. This includes the fisticuffs brawler Law, the magic-hurling Rinwell, the defensive powerhouse Kisara, and the staff spinning battle wizard, Dohalim, who with Alphen & Shionne create a well-balanced band of unlikely heroes. Throughout the journey, you will encounter a band of diverse like-minded individuals in traditional Tales series fashion to assist in this seemingly insurmountable task. Together they will struggle to bring down the system that has enslaved Alphen and his people and crush all the regional Lords who rule over them in an attempt to win the Crown Contest. This time around, you follow the exploits of Alphen, an amnesiac Dahnan slave who strangely cannot feel pain, as he teams up with an unlikely ally, a Renan woman named Shionne, cursed with spectral thorns that harm any who get close and touch her. Every ten years, the Renans hold a contest to see which currently ruling lord will succeed the throne and become king or queen of Rena. By taking advantage of their far superior technology, the Renans were able to crush and enslave the Dahnans in a war that occurred 300 years prior, now putting them to work as slave laborers to gather a particular resource called Astral Energy. Taking place in the world of Dahna, a segregated world where its inhabitants - the Dahnans - are lorded over by the Renans, invaders from the foreboding planet & moon floating in the sky.
