I never was too crazy about the A B arte tree battle system (when it comes to tales of combat systems, my favorite systems by far are all the ones that make tales of feel like a 2D fighting game. Tales of eternia/destiny 2 on the PS1 straight up played like street fighter alpha once you got the combo command accesory, and the 3D but on a 2D plane tales of games like symphonia>abyss>destiny PS2>vesperia>xillia 1>xillia 2>innocence R>hearts R follows this same type of gameplay. I love the freedom with the ability to jump and do air combos....you can't do any of this with the graces F style arte tree system, which plays on-rails), but I did like the parrying mechanic. Reason I hate tales of zestiria so much is because it's battle system is a spin-off of graces Fs but with the actual fun bits either stripped away or toned down.

Its ok. Music is pretty unremarkable and the main story is infamously bad, but what carries the game for entertainment is the characters w/ the really good skits. (Especially when richard joins the crew and him+malik start having a grand ol' trolly time in the future story arc).
