Jeff and I recently finished our playthrough of Tales of Arise, just in time for the 1 year anniversary of the game’s release. Overall, I thought the game was fine, not one of my favorites of the series for sure. I do think the lack of multiplayer contributes to that. After watching Jeff play through…

Tales of Arise: Roast Chicken
Tales of Arise is a very different game from the other “Tales of” games I’ve played over the years. The “Tales of” series is how Jeff and I became friends in college. We played a lot of Tales of Symphonia together. Throughout the years, we’ve played each of the games together with friends coming over…
Tales of Vesperia: Fisherman’s Hot Pot
The definitive edition of Tales of Vesperia came out this past month. Tales of Vesperia is one of my favorite games of all time. Jeff and I have been playing the game a lot and as we go through it, I am reminded how much I love the characters, story, and gameplay. We recently started…

At E3 this year, a definitive remastered edition of Tales of Vesperia was announced for its 10th anniversary.

Tales of Berseria: Velvet’s Quiche

Tales of Vesperia: Scottish Egg
Within the last few months someone was nice enough to update the Tales of Vesperia wiki page with high quality screenshots of the game’s food. It is unfortunate that the PS3 version of Tales of Vesperia was never released in the west. I picked up a Japanese copy about 2 years back and attempted to…
Tales of Vesperia: Cream Stew
I’ve played quite a few RPGs in my time, but I’ve always liked Tales of games because of its couch co-op. I’ve played every Tales Of game with a group since Tales of Symphonia, but Tales of Zesteria has been trying my patience. The combat camera focuses on the first player’s target and there is…
Tales of Graces f: Chocolate Flan
Whenever I think of Tales of Graces f I am reminded of many long weekends marathoning with friends. My friend Harry would drive over from Austin to spend the weekend and play. This was also the first time my friend Rene played a Tales of game with a group. It has been a long while…
