New Tales of Arise Trailer Gives a Glimpse of Combo-Based Combat

Tales of Arise caught our attention with its announcement trailer at E3 2019 -- it immediately looked like a step forward for Bandai Namco's long running role-playing series, and the good news is that it continues to look promising.

The game's received a fresh trailer at Tokyo Game Show 2019, and although it's not the most in-depth video, it does give us a glimpse of what's possible with the title's combo-based combat system. If you'll excuse the pun, it's hot stuff.

Is Tales of Arise on your radar? Scorch the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

Looks great! Visually stunning. Such an improvement over the last 2 games since its not being held back by PS3.

@WebHead basically what I was going to say. I'm excited they are finally upping the graphics. It looks beautiful. Detailed but still very anime. I'm excited.

So excited for this!Finally a Tales game I will be buying at Day One.The last two games I played were big disappointments and even at an extremely low price in the sales I still haven't bothered picking up Berseria.
This just looks like it's going to be a winner and it's great to be excited over a Tales game again.

I haven’t played a Tales game since Symphonia (which I loved).

The graphics on this look incredible. It has certainly piqued my interest.

@Wazeddie22 Berseria is good, but this looks like a full-on action game instead of an RPG. This feels like Paper Mario all over again...

I really hope this one can recapture that Tales magic. Vesperia is the last one I truly loved, but this could really be a good one from what we’ve seen.
