Tales of Fan, how would you rate this game in comparison to other tales of games. I have played Symphonia, Xillia, Eternia, Arise, Berseria and Zestiria, so i missing this game and just want to know, if i play it sooner or later.

Best battle system in the series. Biggest complaint for most people is how slow it starts. For me it’s how long it takes to get my favorite characters.

It's a really fun and fast-paced battle system, and feels a lot closer to a traditional fighting game than most Tales games do. It rewards playing smart, like chaining attacks or dodging at the perfect timing instead just spamming your strongest skills.

Also, some characters have rather unique playstyles that are a blast to play with. Like Pascal who mixes longe-rarge attacks with a gun with close-range magic, with most of her spells being AOEs centered around her. She's a complete glass cannon, but can dish crazy damage if played correctly.

Story is weak/generic, but the battle gameplay is fantastic, one of my favorites in the whole series.

I really like the cast as well, but opinions are more split on that.
