Arise’s story focuses on two warring planets, and its two protagonists are a male slave from the medieval world of Dahna and a woman from the technologically advanced world of Rena. Those are the characters you’re seeing in the trailer above. This is the 17th game in the Tales series, which began in 1995. The last entry was Tales Of Berseria, which we liked quite a bit when it came to PC in 2017. Our review praised its characters (while criticising some of their outfits), and lamenting its slow start: I tend to bounce off JRPGs in their first few hours, but I continue to dream of one getting its hooks into me. Maybe Arise will finally be the one that gets me.
