Released in 2021, Tales of Arise is the latest installment in the long-running Tales series, which started in 1995 with Tales of Phantasia. Like other classic Japanese RPG franchises such as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, the Tales series has changed a lot over the years, and Arise represents its biggest leap forward yet. The game tells the story of characters from two warring planets, Rena and Dahna, and explores themes of politics and social issues, adding a layer of complexity to the narrative. With its engaging gameplay and a large, beautifully crafted world, Tales of Arise is a compelling experience for fans of modern JRPGs.
