The Top 5 Tales Games
It may not get the press that bigger rpg series like Final Fantasy does, but the Tales series has been chugging along for almost 20 years, garnering a pretty strong cult following among jrpg fans. It’s always been a pretty familiar set-up, with the biggest change ever in the series going from a 2D real time battle system to a 3D one (and that was over a decade ago). But there’s something to be said for a series that works to finely tune itself to be familiar yet still fun and fresh for fans. It’s great jrpg comfort food and there is good value in that when some series are desperately trying to re-invent the wheel and failing horribly.
