Since we're on the topic of silly crossover mobile games and gacha VNs.

I finished the Tales of Link story (well what was released in the Global version that is) before the server shutdown.

Only gonna really comment on the story since the gameplay pretty much flew over my head. The story was surprisingly good. Starts off really generic but it picks up after certain point. Though it does drag on at points. Still I would legitimately say that it's one of the better Tales stories out there.

That said, most of the Tales characters felt kinda...unimportant. Like a lot of them just felt like tag-a-longs, and it didn't feel like there were a whole lot of them in the main story, it was the event skits that they really appeared in. Except for Jade, he actually felt plot importance because he's Jade.
Though the game's original characters hold up pretty well, so I wasn't really bothered by it.

I like how the player character started off as a typical silent protagonist and then gradually became his own individual character throughout the story, more akin to Robin and Corrin from Fire Emblem.

The game's story could be thought like some kind of Tales VN because there's A LOT of text in it, to the point where it describes every action being made.

If you're ever interested in it, you can watch the entire story on YouTube:

You can just look at some of the video lengths and know how long it is, and I think a lot of it is without gameplay though some videos still have it.

I think only me and raytan here on Board 8 played the game throughout its life, and raytan was the one who was REALLY into it. I was literally dumping stones on revives just to finish the story and I didn't even awaken any characters to 6* except for Spada, who was only a freebie to show how it works.

And now Tales of the Rays Global just announced its server shutdown, which is a big welp.
