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 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Well I like Abyss. I like Graces' gameplay but I'm pretty sure it's not what you're looking for.

Abyss and Berseria for sure. Xillia has its moments, but not enough of them imo.

I mean, Abyss is very Tales-y. I don't know if someone who isn't a fan of the series will like it that much.
But yeah, I feel like your best bets are Symphonia, Vesperia, Berseria, and maaaybe Xillia. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

As long as you change Velvet's costume then Berseria is probably your best shot. It's still pretty embarrassing at times though.

Phantasia isn't particularly embarrassing to play, merely dated, kinda dull, and probably not worth playing in 2020 regardless. Same for Destiny.

You should probably look for a different series to play imo. They all have their fair share of cringey elements, and if you are embarrassed to play them because of it, you should just save your time and money and head into another direction.

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.

Talking about costumes in Tales of Berseria made me remember that cowboy hat Rokurou is not canon and now I'm sad.
Anyway I think Vesperia is probably the closest to what you're looking for, out of the four games in the series I've played. (Symphonia, Abyss, Vesperia, Berseria) --- Oh woops. Putting Advokaiser in my sig like this until I think of something more clever ... Copied to Clipboard!

Phantasia isn't embarrassing at all
Abyss is imo less embarassing in the traditional Tales sense, but it has one character who is, for important plot reasons, insufferable for a long stretch of the game. (It's the best Tales game I've played though so it's worth it) --- Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Challenge! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I haven't played too many Tales games, but while the quality certainly varies between them, none of them are what I'd consider to be "embarrassing" to play

It should be noted that Tales of is best as a co-op series. You cooperate in battle and you make fun of the writing together. But Abyss actually made me care about the characters and world, admittedly after spending tens of hours in their company.

So basically I am hearing Phantasia, Symphonia, Vesperia, Berseria with an outside shot at Destiny, Abyss, and Xillia.
That would mean the straight up laughable ones are: Eternia Legendia Symphonia: Dawn of the New World Graces Xillia 2 Zestiria Accurate? --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ... Copied to Clipboard!

I would actually say Xillia 2 is one of the least "embarassing" by your criteria since it drops most of the usual fluffy anime tropes in exchange for a very tonally different story than the rest of the series that gets pretty dark and (relatively) mature at times.
