Nelson_Mandela 01/17/20 1:13:27 PM #1:	You know what I mean. Even the best Tales games are somewhat cringey, but they contain elements that outweigh those moments and make it a worthwhile experience. Symphonia is obviously on there, and I have heard Vesperia fits into the conversation too. What are the others? Or what are the ones that are definitely too Tales-y and awful to bother with? --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso <cite>Nelson_Mandela posted [p:933083761] in Which Tale...

Strife2 01/17/20 2:15:43 PM #22:	But then he'd miss Velvet, Magilou, and Eleanor. I mean, Bienfu is the shittiest thing about Berseria, but you can usually ignore him and the skits he's in. And yes, Velvet's OG attire is ridiculous, but can be switched out almost immediately. The game's main charm is reveling in the evilness of it all. Like a murderhobo D&D campaign.

pyresword 01/17/20 2:27:30 PM #25:	Talking about costumes in Tales of Berseria made me remember that cowboy hat Rokurou is not canon and now I'm sad.
