Tales of Arise (Video Game)	comment	Tales of Arise is the seventeenth mainline entry in the Tales Series, released worldwide on September 10, 2021 (and a day earlier on the 9th for Japan) for PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X, and Steam. It was originally announced at E3 2019 as the first installment to be primarily developed on the eighth generation of consoles, as the previous game was also developed for the PlayStation 3, but since then it has become a cross-generation game with versions for the ninth generation consoles.The inhabitants of the planet Dahna have always revered Rena, the planet in the sky, as a land of the righteous and divine. At least until the advanced Renans came down and conquered Dahna with sheer force. For three hundred years Rena has ruled over Dahna, pillaging the world beneath of its resources and its people of their dignity and freedom.The game focuses on Alphen, a Dahnan man who has no memories and has lost the ability to feel pain, and Shionne, a Renan noblewoman whose Curse of Thorns brings pain to whoever touches her. Along the way they are joined by: Rinwell, a Dahnan mage able to use spells despite it supposedly being something only Renans could do; Law, a Dahnan who is a member of the "Snake Eyes" police organization; Dohalim il Qaras, a Renan Lord who espouses equality; and Kisara, Dohalim's Dahnan bodyguard with a motherly streak.In September 2023 (the game's second anniversary), a Downloadable Content titled "Beyond the Dawn" was announced for release in November of the same year. Set one year after the original game, it sees the playable cast reuniting to deal with a mysterious newcomer Nazamil, a child of a Renan Lord and a Dahnan, who seemingly threatens the new peace created by their actions. Beyond the Dawn released on November 8, 2023.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_1206d299	type	Can't Kill You, Still Need You
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_1206d299	comment	Can't Kill You, Still Need You: Played with. Spirit cores embedded into slaves only give off astral energy if a slave is worked very hard, but survives. Thus, Renan overseers are pressured to work slaves and punish them if they don't keep up, but not kill them without a reason they can justify (and indeed are harshly punished themselves if too many slaves die). It's speculated on how the the Fruit of Helgan's development could change this. It allows the harvesting of huge amounts of astral energy from a person in a short span of time as their body both produces more and releases it all as the Dahnan dies, but Dohalim implies that even for the most brutal lord, relying on it would be counterproductive to keeping a realm's population stable or growing and being able to work them for years. However, if a lord were desperate for an edge near the end of a Crown Contest, the fruit could give them it. Zephyr invokes this trope almost by name when he points out that the mere fact the Renans didn't simply wipe out the Dahnans with their superior technology when they invaded (and that the things the slaves work to produce would be more cheaply and easily gained via said technology) shows that the Renans need them in some way, and that this fact means the Dahnans have a chance at the negotiating table if they can reach that point.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_135b9977	comment	Bloodless Carnage: Despite being Bloodier and Gorier, the game seems a bit arbitrary as to where it visually depicts this. After taking down the Gates of Fire, Alphen is stated to have been horribly burned over much of his body. Yet no damage is seen aside from his arms and hands. Shionne is pierced in the chest twice (by an arrow and sword respectively), but neither leave any mark on her at any point. This is justified with the reveal that the Thorns won't let her die, but her applying healing arts to the (not seen) wound implies that there is supposed to still be visible damage done.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_14beeefd	type	Darker and Edgier
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: This game portrays the Dark Wings, a series-wide recurring group, in a darker light. Instead of a group of bumbling and usually sympathetic comic reliefs, they are now brutal revolutionists led by a dictator, Dedyme. They gleefully sacrificed their own people for a shot of revenge against the Renan Lord that they opposed. Ironically, they maintain their bumbling and inept attitude; they're just inept at making a revolution good and worthwhile, as opposed to the other resistance leaders that are kind and insightful. Even if said Renan Lord, Almeidrea, just happens to be one of the most despicable people ever, it doesn't help their stance. Their actions instead makes the Mahag Saar arc darker than the previous arcs, and Dedyme and his supporters are horrifically killed by Almeidrea's Fruit of Helgan. The group eventually becomes less dark when Baephon's more moderate faction takes over and starts working with the other resistance groups, but it's still a matter of "becoming much more amicable", rather than reverting to how the recurring group is treated series-wide.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_1527d90d	type	Early Game Hell
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_1527d90d	comment	Early Game Hell: Very much so here - even though Shionne is the main healer and the first person to join, the game is very stingy with experience and SP (required for unlocking skills and artes) until you reach Elde Menancia when you can chain battles together for larger rewards, and have larger areas that hold more enemies. What also doesn't help is that most bosses are absolute walls of health. This doesn't even get into the game's economy, where especially on "Hard", you barely have any Gald to your name, most useful recovery items are not sold by merchants and are of extremely limited supply when found in the farthest nooks and crannies, and you don't even have access to the extremely lucrative, very useful Fishing minigame until several hours in, after Elde Menancia's plot is done and you're headed to Niez. Even the Fishing Minigame is somewhat difficult at first due to just how long you'll have Migal's fishing rod. It's alright for the first few fishing spots, but after that, the fish get very difficult fast, and it's nigh-impossible to catch boss fish with it.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_19211122	type	Feel No Pain
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_19211122	comment	Feel No Pain is deconstructed left, right, and center. Yes, Alphen's inability to feel pain allows him to wield the Blazing Sword. Yes, it also keeps him in the fight a lot longer than usual. And yes, it can be used in a variety of circumstances to push the advantage in the fight against the Renans. It's also not a Disability Superpower, since the realistic consequences of being unable to feel pain are explored. Alphen can't feel things like his skin being pierced, sure, but he also can't detect changes in temperature or even realize he's been hurt in the first place, and Shionne brings up how this means that Alphen could realistically bleed to death without ever realizing he's been wounded. The only reason Alphen can even wield the Blazing Sword is because Shionne immediately heals him after using it; without her, he'd die in minutes. In the third realm, Alphen takes a serious hit to his right shoulder and only gradually becomes aware that it was a much worse injury than it seemed at the time when the next night, he still has trouble moving his arm and Shionne has to give him another round of healing. It's entirely possible his shoulder was dislocated or broken, and he couldn't even tell.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_1994ba0b	type	Gone Horribly Right
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_1994ba0b	comment	Gone Horribly Right: The Renan ideology preaches that the strongest in astral artes should rule over the weak and that everyone should seek to climb the hierarchy through any means necessary, and the Renans believe this ideal will lead their nation to greatness. While some lords like Balseph and Ganabelt have people they want to protect with their power, any benevolent goals they have are incidental to the ideology. In contrast, Almeidrea is only focused on winning the Crown Contest, even if she has to betray her family members and abandon her Renan subjects to defeat the Dark Wings. Vholran goes even further in his interpretation of the ideology, since he believes that once he gains the power to usurp the Great Spirit, he'll have the right to kill all life in both worlds for being beneath him. The Helganquil used this ideology to manipulate the Renans into helping restore the Renas Alma, but they likely never imagined that Vholran would turn this ideology against them.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_1cc527d7	comment	Asskicking Leads to Leadership: The five Renan Lords compete once every ten years in the Crown Contest, which is where the five of them fight. The last one left standing becomes the Sovereign, who is the de facto ruler of the world until the next Crown Contest. To this end, the Lords all gather astral energy in master cores, which is obtained by implanting spirit cores into the Dahnan slaves and working them until they drop dead. Deconstructed, in that even beyond furthering a slave system and hideous treatment of Dahnans, it leads to a complete lack of trust in Renan society, and the Lords are near-uniformly terrible people who all had to commit terrible things (willingly or not) to get there.

This is not because of any biosafety concerns, as originally stated, but because it's actually a dumping ground for hollowed-out Dahnans. Migal personally leads Dohalim there and commits a Heroic Suicide on the spot to show him the horrific atrocities that have been carried out right under his nose for some time.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_1ec3eb0a	comment	Take Our Word for It: The plot never fully goes into what methods Vholran uses to completely break the wills of both his Renan and Dahnan underlings, but we're told that it's both unspeakably cruel and amazingly effective, and does not rely on any form of Mind Control or other form of magic. It's vaguely described as "pure force of will", and the researchers within the Forbidden Zone are so impressed with it that they make note to investigate it further.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_21cf9301	type	Family of Choice
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_21cf9301	comment	Family of Choice: This is a common trope in the Tales Series, but itâ€™s especially relevant to this game. Alphen has no known family left since heâ€™s from 300 years ago. Shionne is implied to live alone because of her Thorns. Law's mother died of illness when he was young, leaving him with only one remaining relative: his father Zephyr, who is poisoned to death by Ganabelt. Kisara is an orphan who grew up with her older brother Migal, who sacrifices himself to warn Dohalim of the conspiracy in Elde Menancia. Rinwell is also an orphan, the last surviving member of her mage clan. Dohalim is likely the only party member whose entire family is still intact, but we donâ€™t learn much about them. So with few, if any, ties to living relatives, these six become each otherâ€™s new family. In one skit, Rinwell even assigns roles to each of them: Alphen as the big brother, Shionne the big sister, Kisara the mom, Dohalim the uncle (or grandfather in the Japanese version), herself as the little sister, Hootle as the little brother, and Law as the pet dog.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_21d70919	type	Crapsack World
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_21d70919	comment	Crapsack World: Dahna is basically a world after an alien invasion that left most of it's history and culture destroyed, the people enslaved and tormented at the whims of their Renan oppressors, monsters brought over by the Renans roaming the wild, and all of the realms save for one, which even then is Crap, being effectively this in their own way. Calaglia sets the tone by being the most reminiscent of real life slave camps, made worse by it occurring in what's essentially a molten, rocky wasteland where the Dahnans are more than likely to eventually die from overwork and heatstroke. While Cyslodia might look a bit more free compared to Calaglia, that doesn't make the lives of the Dahnans living there any less horrendous. While they're not all made to work as slaves, the people are heavily oppressed by the Secret Police nicknamed "the Snake Eyes" that accepts both Renan and Dahnan alike, and the latter sometimes don't have a choice in the matter, and will send you to work camps that'll likely be the death of you for even the most minor of slights. And while in Calaglia there was still hints of camaraderie between the Dahnans, the state of affairs here means that no one trusts each other, with most Dahnans adopting a mindset that they should report someone else under the assumption that they may report them first. Mahag Saar is an interesting example in that what it was like under Renan oppression mostly has to be inferred, as the party arrives after it's already been liberated, with NPC dialogue suggesting it was similar to Calaglia in a way. Of the five realms, Ganath Haros is by far the worst among them. All of the Dahnans have been tortured to point of being nothing more than Empty Shells whose only concern is serving Vholran, to the point of willing getting put on boats that take them to their deaths. And if that wasn't enough, not even the Renans are safe from this, being similarly reduced to mindless drones who's only purpose is to serve Vholran and die on his behalf. And the real kicker? We never find out what the hell Vholran did to cause the people to end up like this.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_25093f95	comment	Slave Brand: All Dahnan slaves have these in the form of spirit stones implanted in them at birth, which is what allows the Renans to drain them of their Astral Energy. It is possible to remove them, something that most of the resistance organizations do in order to show their defiance, but doing so is fairly painful and leaves a scar on the person's body. Kisara is one of the only ones who avoids this, but only because there was a Renan doctor capable of safely removing it without scarring her. The other Dahnans in the party avoided having spirit stones to begin with, due to various special circumstances (Law was born in secret, Rinwell's whole family lived in hiding, and Alphen went into dormancy some years before the Renan invasion even happened).

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_28104b90	comment	Bag of Spilling: Played with. The party is reset to level 65 and keep only one weapon and armor each. However, beating the final boss of the main game at level 65 or below is completely possible and reasonable (he's level 61), and their weapons are comparable to late-game equipment, although not post-game ones. While the Devil's Arms can be obtained in the final dungeon, their kill counts will not match the ones in the main game's save files. In the end, if you're a completionist, then your party definitely regressed, but for everyone else, they remained the same and/or became stronger. The story doesn't draw attention to it aside from Rinwell off-handedly commenting she hasn't been as active lately.

Alphen's inability to feel pain allows him to interact with Shionne despite her Curse Of Thorns making the mere act of touching her incredibly painful, and that same inability to process pain allowing him to wield the Blazing Sword Shionne creates (something she herself expresses frustration that she's incapable of doing, despite its immense power being beneficial to her goals), while Shionne's Healing Hands allow her to fix Alphen back up afterwards to ensure the damage the sword does to him isn't permanent. Zephyr lampshades how well they work together.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_29f44d3a	comment	Adam Smith Hates Your Guts: Perhaps appropriately enough because Dahna is under Renan occupation - or just recently freed from it, as the party travels through places - but supplies and Gald are extremely hard to come by, and trying to buy anything rapidly gets quite expensive. For most of the game, you're not even capable of buying useful recovery items like Orange Gels for Cure Points (and thus, healing or buffs), and even then, you're often without enough money to buy more than a handful of them. In addition, enemies don't drop Gald outright and you have to figure out what drops to sell, and even then, they don't sell for very much. The situation is mitigated somewhat once you unlock the Fishing game and access to the lucrative fishing spots, but you'll still be hurting for money until very late into the endgame.

As an outsider to the group dynamic, once Nazamil officially joins the party outside Viscint, she'll occasionally bring up various insights regarding how the party fights while she observes from a safe distance. Among other things, she has a lot of context-sensitive dialogue about Boost Strikes, where she'll call out the implausability of some of the techniques used. One example has Nazamil comment on Shionne's Improbable Aiming Skills during her Boost Strike with Dohalim, questioning how they time their strike so Dohalim can catch the grenade Shionne fires, to which Shionne replies she just shoots intending to hit Dohalim, which gives the former Lord pause.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_2b278c5d	type	Loss of Identity
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_2b278c5d	comment	When chasing after Almeidrea on a boat over the ocean, Alphen and Shionne discuss the former's Loss of Identity, with Alphen commenting that sometimes it feels like he can almost recover his lost memories, but then his mask gets in the way of that. That's the entire purpose of the mask. It's really a sedative mask put on him to help him deal with the mental trauma of having killed thousands of people during the failed Spirit Channeling ceremony 300 years before the game, with the neurological side effects of pain and memory loss aggravated by the three-hundred year hibernation he spent wearing it. When Alphen loses the rest of the shattered remnants that cling to his face, he regains all his memories— at the cost of also being able to feel pain again, alienating Shionne from the one person in the world she was able to actually interact with. Even before the above, it's only when his mask is first damaged that Alphen can recall his own name, hinting at its real purpose.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_2cbaa888	comment	Of the five realms, Ganath Haros is by far the worst among them. All of the Dahnans have been tortured to point of being nothing more than Empty Shells whose only concern is serving Vholran, to the point of willing getting put on boats that take them to their deaths. And if that wasn't enough, not even the Renans are safe from this, being similarly reduced to mindless drones who's only purpose is to serve Vholran and die on his behalf. And the real kicker? We never find out what the hell Vholran did to cause the people to end up like this.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_30c40e9a	type	Deconstructor Fleet
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_30c40e9a	comment	Deconstructor Fleet: As per Tales tradition, this game takes a look at several tropes from a typical fantasy setting and examines them closely. In the case of Arise, it looks at tropes surrounding The Empire. While many other games simply use that trope as a motivating force for the heroes to fight against, Arise digs into the nitty-gritty of running a totalitarian state in all its ugliness. Being Fascist, but Inefficient isn't just a bad way to run a civilization—it's downright stupid. Early in the game Zephyr points out that, with the technology available to them, the way Renans run things makes no sense. Simply keeping their civilization going wouldn't work under such a system, and this means there must be more to the Crown Contest. Dahnans being slowly worked to death for the sake of harvesting more astral energy for said contest means that they aren't used for other, equally productive jobs such as agriculture and metallurgy. In Calaglia in particular, everything the slaves mine is simply set aside and burned rather than used to power anything. Elde Menancia even demonstrates that one can harvest a considerable amount of astral energy without enslavement, calling into question why anyone would ever decide to construct a culture built on such radically bad work practices. Instead of the Renans just being evil, their entire civilization was created by the Helganquil, the true natives of Rena, to harvest as much astral energy as they could to fulfill the desires of the Great Spirit of Rena (and the creation of a means to transfer all of said energy to Rena). The Renan Empire is inefficient because what it was made to accomplish has nothing to do with making an efficient society. Might Makes Right as a dogma is all well and good for the purposes of exploitation. But what is it actually like to run a society that way? The Crown Contest is meant to reward only the most capable of Lords with the right to the throne. But all it really does is stir up infighting and treachery amongst the different factions. Moreover, friction between the Lords prevents them from cooperating in the face of mutual threats, such as Alphen and his allies, instead seeing one fallen Lord as one less competitor. Additionally, the Renan ideology doesn't necessarily include obligation to one's subjects, which is why Almeidrea and Vholran are willing to abandon or mistreat their Renan subjects in order to win. Within Lenegis itself, weaker Astral Arte users are second-class citizens (albeit still better off than Dahnan slaves) and everyone is scared of questioning any bad decision making by the government because doing so means criticizing a higher authority. Adding onto that, Might Makes Right as a concept isn't a voluntary philosophy in Renan society; it is the way of life within the confines of a meritocracy. The Crown Contest is something mandatory, where the strongest Renans, as chosen by the preliminary proceedings, have to get involved. With how the Crown Contest is built up within the society, most people are absolutely okay with the downright barbaric process involved in making it to one of the coveted Lord positions, even when it means killing family and friends. But Dohalim shows what happens when Might Makes Right is foisted on someone who is strong but not mentally stable or in favor of the status quo - one of his friends screaming after Dohalim was forced to butcher another of his friends causes Dohalim to develop a psychotic trigger associated with people screaming. Dohalim may have had the power to get into the top five, but he didn't have the resolve, which becomes even more obvious when the psychotic trigger goes off while Kisara screams. Furthermore, because Renan society is dictated by the strongest and craftiest, there's no real vetting process for the type of person who gets one of the five Lord positions; Dohalim and Ganabeltnote For all his faults regarding his stance on Dahnans, he's actually one of the most forward-thinking Renans from Lenegis, considering he took issue with the fact some Renans were treated as second-class citizens and apparently actually cared about the Renans under his command. were the most morally righteous winners of the preliminary judging in the latest contest, which says something about the other three and about how a society that idealizes and forces meritocracy and Might Makes Right on their populace can screw people up and create monsters concerned only with power. Arise also criticizes many of the common tropes when fighting and overthrowing dictatorships. Rebellions and resistance cells can be honorable like the Crimson Crows... or they could be infiltrated by the enemy to use for their own purposes, such as the Silver Swords being led by their lord Ganabelt in disguise (while a fake held up public appearances). Then there are rebellious groups who go too far in the name of freedom, employing various means without any regard for collateral damage whatsoever, causing as much-or-more destruction than the people they're trying to fight (as the Dark Wings did with Niez through reckless use of explosives) - in that regard, the party all agreed that Dedyme was little different from the worse lords they've fought, with his extreme methods and unbridled hatred for Renans making him/the people of Niez easy prey for Almeidrea's machinations. Then there's the matter of what comes after liberation: three centuries' worth of collective suffering and resentment cannot be ameliorated in one fell swoop, especially when being a slave has become so ingrained since birth that, when the perpetuating institutions collapse, the newly-liberated has little idea as to what to do next, and may struggle to build anew over the smoking ruins. The worst cases don't even know how to think for themselves anymore (such as in Ganath Haros), simply obeying anyone who tells them what to do without question, and in the absence of such - or even in spite of it - they'll revert back to their ingrained behaviors simply because it's all they know and/or they still fear the consequences of disobedience. Upon Alphen's first return to Mosgul, his conversation with Doc deconstructs the ideas of both engaging in rebel activity and trying to keep one's head down around the oppressors. Doc points out that the Renans attack Dahnan civilians to punish the Crimson Crows and believes that the rebels should wait for a better opportunity. In turn, Alphen points out that waiting too long for a better opportunity will just result in one losing the will to fight back against the oppressors as they normalize the abuse, and the Renans are likely going to find reasons to kill Dahnans anyways as long as the current system continues, so more will die in the process of waiting. Either way is a risk and will have consequences, yet only the individual can decide which is better (or worse) in the long run. Speaking of slavery being a state of mind, it also gets deconstructed further when it is revealed that the Renans are slaves to the Helganquil, who in turn are literally brainwashed to follow the will of the Great Astral Spirit, all as part of a Vicious Cycle. The Token Heroic Orc and Benevolent Boss tropes are discussed. Yes, Dohalim really is a great man (only slightly less great than the image he presents) who is doing everything he can to make the lives of the people of Elde Menancia better. But he is still part of a culture that has been built on slavery and exploitation. Some of his nobles are exploiting Dahnans behind his back because the Crown Contest and Renan society encourages such behavior, and even putting that aside, like any other Lord he's going to eventually be replaced, with little assurance that his successor would be as benevolent. And while the Dahnans of his realm are paid fairly for their work and are given equal rights, they're still technically slaves, which means to outside observers such as the party, the society is easily mistaken for Happiness in Slavery. The game also points out how Dohalim's general motivations for running his city are born of guilt for personally killing a friend he was forced to fight to become a Lord, rather than any moral compulsions towards Dahnans specifically (he admits that while he does hold such morals, he did not have enough conviction/will to act on them alone). Essentially, Dohalim is a good person constrained by the values of his system, and can only act as a decent man in spite of it rather than because of it. As a result, his initial actions address the symptoms of the Crown Contest rather than the inherent corruption of the Crown Contest itself, which is why he eventually seeks to oppose the contest entirely. The Elde Menancia arc rips into the Hero Worship trope with a vengeance. Dohalim did kickstart the concept of coexistence and unification between Dahnans and Renans within his realm, but he is still his own person, not an immutable monument to liberation; he is great, but he can never be perfect. Though his way of thinking ultimately wins out when Kelzalik challenges the concept via staging a terrorist siege of Autelina Palace, there are still several issues left in the wake of the celebrations that reflect what happens to a society so enamored with a single person to the point they warp him into an ideal. Even with Dohalim abdicating his right as a Renan Lord, most of the Dahnans who worked under him honestly don't know what they want to do beyond making a wage with the jobs they had under Dohalim - even Dahnan statesmen are at a loss as to what they're supposed to do while Dohalim is gone, such that many people within Viscint can only really think to carry on as they were. There is a mindfulness directed towards continuing coexistence between Dahnans and Renans, given how that concept was challenged and surmounted with Kelzalik's downfall, but without their figurehead to constantly inspire them, social progress practically slows to a crawl for a while. Kelzalik's siege also only went as far as it did - as did his horrific usage of the Fruit of Helgan to make a literal lake of hollowed - because everyone was too busy thinking their hero, Dohalim, already solved every possible problem in Elde Menancia, with Kisara also serving as a talking point to the concept with her (by Law's perception) 'smug' pride in blindly serving her Lord. Furthermore, Dohalim's psychotic breakdown in front of Kisara causes her to seriously question not only her devotion to Dohalim but the potential fragility of the concept of coexistence, something many other Dahnans and Renans - even after Kelzalik's failed revolt - echo as they try to figure out how to live and think for themselves (which also ties back into the "state of mind" effect that slavery can leave on people, whatever its form may be). That said, they do end up making more progress than the other regions in the DLC, since they managed to set up a republican form of government that can function without Dohalim, and he's treated more as a VIP than a Lord when he returns. However, Calaglia turns out to hero worship Alphen even more and become even more stagnant, to the point where Alphen has to call them out. Outside of specific examples relating to The Empire archetype, the story also takes a more serious perspective on traditional JRPG tropes. Feel No Pain is deconstructed left, right, and center. Yes, Alphen's inability to feel pain allows him to wield the Blazing Sword. Yes, it also keeps him in the fight a lot longer than usual. And yes, it can be used in a variety of circumstances to push the advantage in the fight against the Renans. It's also not a Disability Superpower, since the realistic consequences of being unable to feel pain are explored. Alphen can't feel things like his skin being pierced, sure, but he also can't detect changes in temperature or even realize he's been hurt in the first place, and Shionne brings up how this means that Alphen could realistically bleed to death without ever realizing he's been wounded. The only reason Alphen can even wield the Blazing Sword is because Shionne immediately heals him after using it; without her, he'd die in minutes. In the third realm, Alphen takes a serious hit to his right shoulder and only gradually becomes aware that it was a much worse injury than it seemed at the time when the next night, he still has trouble moving his arm and Shionne has to give him another round of healing. It's entirely possible his shoulder was dislocated or broken, and he couldn't even tell. The Cast from Hit Points aspect of the Blazing Sword is played for more realistic consequences than usual for this trope. In most JRPGs, the Dangerous Forbidden Technique doesn't have any visual indication as to what damage it does to the individual, with the narrative often stating that it's taking "years off the user's lifespan" as a way to build consequences for using said technique. In Arise, Alphen risks his life every time he uses the Blazing Sword in a way that's impossible to ignore. Whenever he uses it in cutscenes or in gameplay, one can see Alphen's arms up to his elbows are scorched bare, with his burnt flesh coming off in patches. It's made clear that even though he can't feel pain, he still runs the risk of getting an infection and dying from his injuries as mentioned above, and the story brings up the unpleasant suggestion that using the Blazing Sword too much could legitimately burn him to death. Even worse, Alphen's overreliance on the Blazing Sword makes him vulnerable when he begins to regain his ability to feel pain.

That said, this is also one of the most unambiguously idealistic entries in the series, featuring a cast of noble people who are striving to do good in a world that thrives on suffering. Alphen in particular is a great example of this: he has a stereotypical "edgy" character design and his ability to Feel No Pain means he can brush off some serious hits, but he's also an incredibly kind and righteous young man. He also regularly speaks to the idea of his life being better spent fighting oppression than dying in slavery. Consequently, this entry also has one of the happiest endings in the series, with the entire party alive by the end, all the villains defeated, both planets merging, and Alphen and Shionne marrying.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The DLC shows that while relations between the Renans and the Dahnans have improved compared to the main game, there's still a lot of resentment from both sides. One year of reforms isn't going to wipe away three centuries of prejudice from the Renans or the Dahnans' bitterness over being enslaved. Moreover, the Renans suddenly lost their homes on Lenegis due to the merging of the two worlds, and had to make do with their new situation right away instead of having time to consider the changes, which didn't help those with less-than-flexible mindsets on either side. Even among Dahnans, the issues they've had to face for the last three hundred years still affect their daily lives and outlook, compounded by current issues. Calaglia was forced to burn everything that was non-essential and made the realm a pseudo-fiery wasteland, yet while reclamation efforts have slowly begun to take root, they're still a long way from being self-sustaining - moreover, Ulzebek's people latched onto Alphen and the Crimson Crows as saviors much like Elde Menancia did for Dohalim, unintentionally expecting them to do everything. Cyslodia's history with the Snake Eyes and their informants left deep mental scars as well, as even if people were trying to survive, no one could trust each other as backstabbing occurred left and right (correctly or otherwise), and that's not something everyone can easily brush aside or forgive right away. Elde Menancia is well-known for being the most open-minded region in the world regarding Renans and Dahnans. Unfortunately, due to the brutal racism in other regions, this means that the region now faces a massive immigrant crisis due to everyone wanting to live somewhere where the Renans won't plot revenge and the Dahnans won't drive Renans out of town or execute them. Even when housing itself isn't an issue, Viscint still has an immigrant crisis because the city simply cannot allow extremist Dahnans or Renans to settle down within the city walls - remaining tensions raise concerns that too many foreigners coming in all at once, especially those that just can't come to accept coexistence, could end up destroying the egalitarian efforts that have already taken eight years to bear fruit.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_3f0310d6	comment	Magikarp Power: While nobody is considered "bad" by any means, Rinwell and Law end up getting significantly stronger as the game goes on due to skills and accessories that either flat out increase damage (Rinwell) or reduce weaknesses (Law). This means that they can deal quite a bit of damage against difficult enemies and single bosses, while early on they easily get knocked out. Dohalim as well - at first it seems as if he is a Master of None and will be hard to use early on, but in the hands of a player with plenty of practice, he can run circles around enemies using his staff - while losing none of his spellcasting or healing power.

Doc points out that the Renans attack Dahnan civilians to punish the Crimson Crows and believes that the rebels should wait for a better opportunity. In turn, Alphen points out that waiting too long for a better opportunity will just result in one losing the will to fight back against the oppressors as they normalize the abuse, and the Renans are likely going to find reasons to kill Dahnans anyways as long as the current system continues, so more will die in the process of waiting. Either way is a risk and will have consequences, yet only the individual can decide which is better (or worse) in the long run.

When Alphen's memories have come back, he speaks of his experiences up on Lenegis, being tested as the Sovereign and a great accident that occurred during that time. Dohalim states that this ancient event nearly destroyed everything, taking years and numerous laborers to rebuild, soon leading to: The origins of both Renans and Dahnans casts an entirely different light on not only the oppression and corrupt systems, but also the history we've gotten familiar with.

This is justified from a gameplay perspective, since it's only shortly after she joins that damage actually sticks for the characters, and the game borders on Resources Management Gameplay with how expensive items are and how infrequently they're found in the field until just about after the Elde Menancia arc. Shionne's healing is supposed to be appealing because the method of restoring CP is free, giving the player an easily renewable healing resource that's still at risk of running dry in tougher fights so the player can't just marathon their way through without putting the effort in to play well.

In Arise, Alphen risks his life every time he uses the Blazing Sword in a way that's impossible to ignore.

It's made clear that even though he can't feel pain, he still runs the risk of getting an infection and dying from his injuries as mentioned above, and the story brings up the unpleasant suggestion that using the Blazing Sword too much could legitimately burn him to death. Even worse, Alphen's overreliance on the Blazing Sword makes him vulnerable when he begins to regain his ability to feel pain.

The end credits of the main game implied that Alphen and company's efforts in the merged world succeed in creating peace between Dahna and Rena. Beyond the Dawn shows a glimpse of their efforts, as while things have improved, there's still no shortage of Renans and Dahnans who can't co-exist peacefully with each other. Even outside of that, many of Cyslodia's Dahnans are paranoid of former informants and Snake Eyes, to the point of lynching people they find suspicious. Meanwhile, Calaglia is struggling with resource issues and the citizens are too dependent on the Crimson Crows and Alphen. Alphen in particular is shown to be struggling under the weight of trying to appease both sides, particularly being seen as a hero (by Dahnans) and a villain (by Renans), instead of just being him.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_556a4e20	comment	Outside of specific examples relating to The Empire archetype, the story also takes a more serious perspective on traditional JRPG tropes. Feel No Pain is deconstructed left, right, and center. Yes, Alphen's inability to feel pain allows him to wield the Blazing Sword. Yes, it also keeps him in the fight a lot longer than usual. And yes, it can be used in a variety of circumstances to push the advantage in the fight against the Renans. It's also not a Disability Superpower, since the realistic consequences of being unable to feel pain are explored. Alphen can't feel things like his skin being pierced, sure, but he also can't detect changes in temperature or even realize he's been hurt in the first place, and Shionne brings up how this means that Alphen could realistically bleed to death without ever realizing he's been wounded. The only reason Alphen can even wield the Blazing Sword is because Shionne immediately heals him after using it; without her, he'd die in minutes. In the third realm, Alphen takes a serious hit to his right shoulder and only gradually becomes aware that it was a much worse injury than it seemed at the time when the next night, he still has trouble moving his arm and Shionne has to give him another round of healing. It's entirely possible his shoulder was dislocated or broken, and he couldn't even tell. The Cast from Hit Points aspect of the Blazing Sword is played for more realistic consequences than usual for this trope. In most JRPGs, the Dangerous Forbidden Technique doesn't have any visual indication as to what damage it does to the individual, with the narrative often stating that it's taking "years off the user's lifespan" as a way to build consequences for using said technique.

The Blazing Sword does not come with innate protection against fire for its wielder, and it's as damaging to hold the blade as it is to be hit by it. However, Alphen's inability to feel pain means he can still hold and use the sword as a weapon (though not for extended periods of time), and Shionne's Healing Hands allow her to fix the damage afterwards. So Alphen and Shionne technically both have the required necessary abilities to use the sword, but just by circumstance.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_5ce7dbb9	comment	Central Theme: Hierarchies are oppressive to a people and society, and who is at the top of it is arbitrary. Rena is basically a Magocracy where those with the strongest astral artes have a higher status than those with weak ones, but Dohalim notes that having a strong ruler isn't the same as having a competent ruler. Furthermore, such a system makes it a lottery which is determined by birth or by destiny, inevitably causing unjust discrimination. A lost Dahnan castle, and Alphen describing his time as a soldier further reveals that Dahnans also practiced a strict hierarchy even before they were invaded, and Dedyme proves that it can very well happen again. Finally, the end of the story reveals that unquestioning and blind deference to authority leads to a very shallow system where people are unprepared to handle things if the authority breaks down. Even the extraterrestrial Helganquil obeyed their Great Spirit without question, and the only result was the complete ruin of their planet and the inevitable extinction of their race. While The Power of Hate is an excellent motivator, you have to give it up eventually. Making decisions through a mind clouded with hate will only ruin you in the end, either by blinding you to the obvious or leading to your own destruction. This is best viewed at the final battle between Vholran and Alphen. Vholran has stewed in his hatred for years, letting it get to the point where he disregards the lives of everyone around him and is willing to destroy both Dahna and Rena in order to exact his vengeance. Alphen realizes that though the Renans are not innocent, they too are victims of the real threat, and forgiving them for what they've done is the only way for both peoples to ever move forward. Related to the themes of hierarchy and hatred is the idea that slavery can exist as a state of mind, even if one is legally free. The Dahnans of Pelegion struggle to relearn how to think for themselves after years of being conditioned to obey Lord Vholran. To a lesser extent, the Renans of Lenegis are so dependent on the Lords and Sovereigns that they struggle to take action without these leaders, even with advanced technology in their hands. There's also the idea of mental shackles, since many characters are consumed by guilt (Dohalim and Kelzalik), hatred (Dedyme and Vholran), despair (Shionne), or fear (the Great Spirit of Rena) to the point where they struggle to grow as people or find fulfillment in their lives.

The people are actively encouraged to rat out anyone who talks negatively about the system, and Dahnans are often pushed into joining in order to gain some degree of protection and power in the system.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_5ee0a2d8	type	Token Heroic Orc
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_5ee0a2d8	comment	The Token Heroic Orc and Benevolent Boss tropes are discussed. Yes, Dohalim really is a great man (only slightly less great than the image he presents) who is doing everything he can to make the lives of the people of Elde Menancia better. But he is still part of a culture that has been built on slavery and exploitation. Some of his nobles are exploiting Dahnans behind his back because the Crown Contest and Renan society encourages such behavior, and even putting that aside, like any other Lord he's going to eventually be replaced, with little assurance that his successor would be as benevolent. And while the Dahnans of his realm are paid fairly for their work and are given equal rights, they're still technically slaves, which means to outside observers such as the party, the society is easily mistaken for Happiness in Slavery. The game also points out how Dohalim's general motivations for running his city are born of guilt for personally killing a friend he was forced to fight to become a Lord, rather than any moral compulsions towards Dahnans specifically (he admits that while he does hold such morals, he did not have enough conviction/will to act on them alone). Essentially, Dohalim is a good person constrained by the values of his system, and can only act as a decent man in spite of it rather than because of it. As a result, his initial actions address the symptoms of the Crown Contest rather than the inherent corruption of the Crown Contest itself, which is why he eventually seeks to oppose the contest entirely.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_61459062	comment	When most of the Lords are first seen, they are accompanied by a small woman in red in the background, who never speaks or does anything, and is never seen, mentioned or addressed again after said Lord is defeated. It's revealed that these Red Women are the true manipulators of everything that's been happening, and that they have a Perception Filter that makes it impossible for Renans to realize they're there (unless they do something to draw attention to themselves). In fact, the second opening even shows multiple Red Women bunching together.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_6320eced	type	Gameplay and Story Segregation
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_6320eced	comment	Gameplay and Story Segregation: Shionne's Curse of Thorns is given a ton of focus in the story, but in battle Shionne can be near enemies or allies without the thorns appearing to hurt them. This can be semi-justified in that Shionne's weapon by default puts her at a distance to others, and the curse only really reacts if the offending party gets physical contact with Shionne (or close enough, as her power works through gloves, armor and clothes), so for the most part, she'll be far enough away from what she's fighting that her curse wouldn't react. It's also possible said curse doesn't work at all on Zeugles, otherwise she would have weaponized it instead of fighting from a distance. Dohalim is Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense. A few skits mention that he had spent a lot of money on something that is considered a worthless trinket. This doesn't come out of the party's money, though this is a justifiable case. The story treats Shionne as the only healer. For example, while the party is on their way to Ganath Haros to rescue her from Vholran, Alphen comments on his injuries since he can feel pain again and laments that she isnâ€™t there to heal him. He never thinks to ask Dohalim, who can also cast healing artes. Even Kisara has an arte called Guardian Field that heals everyone inside it. However, any other characterâ€™s healing abilities are ignored or downplayed outside of battle. The game handwaves this while the party is on Lenegis. After watching Shionne heal an old woman, Dohalim says his healing abilities pale in comparison to Shionneâ€™s, even though he likely could have done the same thing with Heal or Regenerate. This inconsistency becomes noticeable again when he asks her to heal his friend Fahria after the battle against the zeugle she summoned. In Elde Menancia, your party is instructed to stay at the inn, something that they're wary of for fear of it possibly being a trap. Alphen points out that it's too late in the evening for them to just go outside the town and camp. However, once the segment is over, the game allows you to do precisely this, though you still can't proceed with the story until you actually stay at the inn.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_65efa720	comment	Wishful Projection: The Dahnan extremists deluded themselves into believing Alphen shares their goal of wiping out the Renans simply because he liberated the Dahnans a year ago. They refuse to accept that Alphen simply wants to protect the innocent no matter their race, and Alphen is disturbed that he's been made into a Dahnan supremacist icon. Similarly, the Renan extremists in Pelegion want Dohalim to support their supremacist views and start a false flag kidnapping of Fahria in the delusion that doing so will cause Dohalim to turn on the Dahnans.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_6a6760fa	comment	While The Power of Hate is an excellent motivator, you have to give it up eventually. Making decisions through a mind clouded with hate will only ruin you in the end, either by blinding you to the obvious or leading to your own destruction. This is best viewed at the final battle between Vholran and Alphen. Vholran has stewed in his hatred for years, letting it get to the point where he disregards the lives of everyone around him and is willing to destroy both Dahna and Rena in order to exact his vengeance. Alphen realizes that though the Renans are not innocent, they too are victims of the real threat, and forgiving them for what they've done is the only way for both peoples to ever move forward.

Dohalim, the Lord of Elde Menancia, is a Decon-Recon Switch, since he initially implemented Dahnan rights in order to assuage his own guilt over killing his friend in a forced duel, and therefore he lacked the will to save any Dahnan outside of his immediate line of sight. Later, he realizes that the other Lords' tyranny will inevitably affect the Dahnans under his rule and that he must end the Crown Contest permanently if he wants to create lasting equality in Elde Menancia and the rest of the world.

This is not because of any biosafety concerns, as originally stated, but because it's actually a dumping ground for hollowed-out Dahnans. Migal personally leads Dohalim there and commits a Heroic Suicide on the spot to show him the horrific atrocities that have been carried out right under his nose for some time. The winner of the Crown Contest is named Sovereign, goes to Rena, supposedly to rule over Lenegis and Dahna from afar, and never leaves the planet or appears in person again. In reality, the victors are killed by the Helganquil. When the party goes to Rena, they fight a monster with several human faces that Dohalim suspects was made from the corpses of the Renan Sovereigns.

With exception to Dohalim, the one party member of noble standing, and Rinwell, who still lived most of her solitary life in hiding in the frozen, inhospitable hills of Cyslodia, every party member was a slave or a close approximation at some point in their lives. Establishing themselves as liberators is a major aspect of the story as they seek to rise above their meager origins. Though celebrated as heroes of the land, they retain a middle-class standard of living once their adventure is over besides Dohalim, as Shionne is implied to run or cook for a restaurant and Kisara runs a small lake for fishing, while Alphen lives out a modest existence married to Shionne.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_77473d35	comment	God Is Evil: The Great Astral Spirit is the sentient soul of Rena - and is seemingly a total megalomaniac that enslaved its native species in a long-term plan to devour the life force of Dahna and conquer the universe. Even the free Helganquil you meet tells you to kill it for the sake of the cosmos. Averted with the spirit of Dahna, who is a kind and motherly figure, not to mention of a far weaker nature. The trope in general is fully subverted when the real reason for Rena's conquest is revealed: the two worlds were supposed to be born as one, but something went wrong and it got divided into Rena and Dahna. With escalating issues due to this, Rena's Spirit started panicking and eating too much life force to survive, and is now attempting to devour Dahna in order to reunite the twin worlds. As said by Dohalim, it's basically acting on pure instinct.

The second fight is against Chronos from Tales of Xillia 2, who is faced by himself. Not the first time he's been a particularly difficult boss fight. For Non-Cameo Superbosses there are the rematches with each of the Renan Lords during The Reminiscence Device sidequest which leads up to a brutal Boss Rush against all four of them at the same time Afterwards there's one last fight against Zephyr.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_926e0d7d	comment	Hot Springs Episode: As per Tales Series tradition, the party gets to visit one, where the appropriate hijinks ensue: The boys got to bathe first, but Alphen doesn't think the water is hot enough and goes to borrow The Blazing Sword from Shionne so he can warm up the water. But his Modesty Towel ends up falling off on the way and he ends up walking up naked to the girls (he's only seen from the waist up). The girls promptly freak, with Shionne screaming while Kisara turns away and covers the eyes of a stunned Rinwell and Alphen himself has a Naked Freak-Out once he notices his own state of undress. When it's the girl's turn, Rinwell explicitly gives the boys a "No Peeking!" Request, but Law still listens in outside the wall as the girls have a Skinship Grope conversation about Shionne's skin and Kisara's muscles. When Dohalim and Alphen catch Law, Dohalim tries to convince them to peek as a "manhood ritual", while Alphen thinks it's a bad idea and tries to convince them otherwise. But Hootle sees them arguing and snitches them to Rinwell before they can decide what to do, and Rinwell blasts them with magic while still inside the water, with Shionne and Kisara not even realizing why she suddenly fired off a spell.

Keep in mind that the player also has to defeat Captive Nazamil first, who has 538605 HP, which means the final boss gauntlet has a total of 1391243 HP for the loseable parts. Suddenly, it makes sense why the game gives the player the Devil's Arms at the same time the final boss room is unlocked.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_940a5958	type	Artificial Stupidity
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_940a5958	comment	Artificial Stupidity: Despite the AI being fairly competent, it has a few hiccups. Dohalim, Rinwell, and Shionne often will cast spells in melee range, requiring the player to turn off their melee abilities in order to keep them from running in and getting interrupted. The AI simply doesn't recognize how competent Rinwell and Dohalim can be if they spam spells at range. The AI also has trouble handling elemental weaknesses and resistances. The AI will often attack the enemy with any arte enabled, even if the enemy resists it, and will also struggle to use artes that have an advantage against the enemy too. The only way to avoid this is to deactivate any Artes that would cause issues so the character uses the right element, but if the player leaves any non-elemental artes on, expect the AI to almost entirely use them. The AI will also NEVER jump, and by proxy will never use aerial artes unless they use a ground art that launches them into the air first. Alphen, Law and Dohalim have these kinds of artes but Shionne, and Rinwell do not. Kisara has one but the AI doesn't use it a lot.

It is noted repeatedly though how it takes a lot of effort and good leadership to keep the rebellions from degenerating into chaos and revenge killing. In one camp conversation, Law even wonders aloud at one point if they were simply lucky that the other liberated realms didn't end up like Mahag Saar.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_9b06e314	comment	Greater-Scope Villain: The Lords are all competing to be the successor to the Sovereign, the Renan ruler of Dahna. In reality, there has never been a Renan Sovereign - the true master of the Renan empire is the Great Astral Spirit, who drove the Helganquil to experiment on the Dahnans because of the threat it poses to both Rena and Dahna. Unlike most examples of this trope, the Great Spirit is a Non-Malicious Monster whose destructive actions are driven by a confused attempt to unify Rena and Dahna. Its role as the greater threat is ultimately subverted outright when its human agent, Vholran, turns out to be The Starscream and steals the Spirit's power for the Final Boss fight.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb	type	Difficult, but Awesome
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb	comment	Difficult, but Awesome: There are several incredibly rewarding, fun, and impressive-to-watch techniques that are extremely difficult to pull off consistently, especially in the chaos of a late game battlefield. Boost Arte Switch Combos. Once you reach the end of your currently controlled character's combo potential, activate the Boost Arte of a different character, switch to them, and keep the counter going. This requires knowledge of at least two characters, how to use their Artes, and the situations and enemy types that would best work in tandem with each other. Law's playstyle, in a nutshell. His "Awakening" mechanic gives him vastly improved attack speed and damage after dealing enough consecutive attacks to an enemy but deactivates the moment he gets hit and not to mention, Law himself can barely take many hits before he dies and despite his high penetration has a difficult time breaking enemies so he can safely combo. If you can master dodging, the timing of casting Artes to ensure you don't leave yourself open, and more importantly, how to keep that combo counter going high, you can easily destroy regular enemies or knock huge chunks off a boss's health bar with just Law. Even having him controlled by the AI can be amazing. If the player is able to deal with Law's weakness of being a Glass Cannon via accessories such as decreasing his aggro (while increasing the aggro towards someone else, namely Kisara) or buffing his defence, he can melt through Elite Mooks. Alphen's full potential is all about risk-reward, sacrificing health and thus your margin of errors for massive damage. All of the Blazing Sword's Artes are extremely powerful and wide-reaching, devastating scores of enemies and boss health bars at the cost of Alphen's. You will need to get very good at dodging to ensure you can keep fighting, keep your combo up, and ensure you don't burn through all your supplies with Alphen alone. Rinwell's fighting style is a lot slower and methodical than the other more straightforward fighters like Alphen, Shionne, and Law. Her Artes almost always have a lengthy cast time, need to be cast at the right time lest the enemy waltz right out of the stationary area-of-effect, and through most of the game, you're bereft of instant access to higher tier spells, needing to store and upgrade them. These problems are only exacerbated by her fragility and the charge time being interruptible by even a low-damage poke from an enemy. Once you get to Tier 3 spells like "Divine Saber" and get the upgrades that decrease Arte charging time when used in a combo, however, you can have Rinwell casting devastating Arte after devastating Arte, using Boost Artes to refill her Arte Gauge to keep the assault going and enjoying watching your enemy's health bars melt beyond all the particle effects flooding the battlefield.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_9eeb5455	comment	Evil Virtues: While they of course don't see themselves as evil, there are various virtues even the antagonistic Renan Lords are expected to embody insofar as relates to other Renans. Namely they are responsible, loyal, and full of valor. They are expected to work for the betterment of other Renans and to act as their guardians, and to not flee from a fight or abandon their realm even under threat of death. The two Lords that plainly defy at least some of these tropes, namely Almeidrea and Vholran, thus earn the ire not just of the heroes but many other Renans too. Unfortunately, protecting Renan subjects is not necessarily an official obligation for the Lords, and their only true obligation is to win the Crown Contest.

When the group arrives, the Lord has (supposedly) already been overthrown and the rest of the Renans chased out by the local rebel group, the Dark Wings. Problem is, the entire city has been bombed to hell and back with smoldering ruins everywhere, the Dark Wings are run by a psychopathic dictator who gleefully says the cost of all those civilian casualties and ruining of their home was worth driving out the Renans, and as the group discusses, even if the Dark Wings succeeded, Mahag Saar would just be trading one brutal dictator for another, rendering the revolution ultimately pointless.

Every party member has a rather grounded, humble goal they wish to devote themselves to once their fights are over, with Shionne interested in cooking as a living and Kisara wanting to build and maintain a fishing spot.

This kind of ignores that Alphen's outfit has a ton of elements in it that aren't practical or functional and mostly exist for aesthetics, like the pelt covering one of his hips, or the embroidered sleeveless vest he wears over his shirt, or the blue sash he wears under his belt.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_c3b51bb3	type	You Are Better Than You Think You Are
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_c3b51bb3	comment	You Are Better Than You Think You Are: After deposing the Lord of Ganath Haros, the party has to stay behind in order to teach the citizens how to think for themselves and recognize their own self-worth. This is because Lord Vholran used fear and violence to strip away the citizens' self-worth and make them completely obedient. When the party arrives on Lenegis, they find the entire city in disarray because the citizens are too dependent on the Renan chain of command to make decisions. Dohalim gives a speech to not only ease the citizens' fears, but convince them to work together and become less dependent on the Lords and Sovereigns.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_cbdd9a55	type	We ARE Struggling Together
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_cbdd9a55	comment	We ARE Struggling Together: The greatest thing holding the Renan lords back is Lenegis' Might Makes Right philosophy as applied to the Crown Contest. Namely, come hell or high water, these five Renans are competing with each other to harvest the most astral energy from their regions, and nothing actually stops any of the lords from sabotaging each other. Because of this, the lords can never appear weak or request aid from each other because it's a massive indication that they're vulnerable enough to exploit or undermine. Though their Zeugle bioweapons, magic, and advanced technology does allow each individual lord and their subordinate forces to crack down on resistance forces, Shionne and Alphen represent a unique threat none of them can handle on their own, which becomes a problem as Alphen's crew begins hunting them down one by one. By the time the Renan lords wise up and decide to try pooling resources, Almeidrea and Vholran are the only lords in the contest left, and Vholran's hatred for all life leads him to kill Almeidrea while she's vulnerable at the same moment he comes to back up her forces.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_cec7dac0	type	The Magocracy
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_cec7dac0	comment	The Magocracy: One of the reasons Renans see themselves as the Superior Species over Dahnans is their abilities to use Astral Artes. Renan society is also heavily based on Astral Arts capabilities with families that produce fine line of strong Arts Users being near the top of society and where the Lord Candidates are selected from, and the DLC shows that those who have weaker Astral power are ostracized, even after the fall of Lenegis. It's noted that were it not for her curse, Shionne's Astral Arte skills would have given her a high rank among Renan nobility. High rank is not without its downsides though: those with the potential to become a Lord, for instance, do not have the luxury of refusing the grueling competitions that result nor the position itself should they win.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_d24ed873	comment	Developer's Foresight: Compared to the demo version, there are Boost Strikes for every single pair of characters, which means you can do them no matter what your party composition is. And similar to all party members' Boost Attacks being available in a fight, the Boost Strike that activates is chosen randomly from all available combinations, rather than being limited to just your main party. If you satisfy the completion of a quest from the get-go (either by killing the Giant Zeugle or having the materials ready), the characters will specifically mention that they've already done that or have the requested items, allowing you to complete the quest immediately. If you decide to do a Skit in an area that isn't the location where the game first has it available, the background during the skit will change to reflect that, such as having a darker background if the skit is performed at camp rather than in a city.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	comment	Anti-Frustration Features: The Old Save Bonus features carries over things like arte usage, on top of the bonuses it gives for carrying over one, making learning hidden artes quicker and less frustrating than if the player didn't already learn them. The Devil's Arms are also still around, they just are locked until the final boss fight and their kill counts got reset. The Duel Boss fights with Vholran and Zephyr massively cut down their HP respective to what a typical boss will have; since you're locked to Alphen and Law against them respectively, this means it's more an endurance match or a test of the player's skills with those two characters rather than an annoying, grueling slog.

The reconstruction efforts of Ulzebek become inefficient because everyone depends too much on the Crimson Crows to do everything and when Alphen returns, they focus on his status as a hero and push more tasks on him. Alphen ends up having to give a speech stating that despite his deeds, he's still just one man.

Shionne notes that the sheer coincidence of herself (a woman who causes anyone who touches her pain) immediately running into a man who feels no pain after arriving on Dahna, followed by meeting the last remaining Dahnan mage and Zephyr's long lost son not long after - is so unlikely that she wonders if someone deliberately set it up. Later in the game they suggest it might actually be destiny or possibly even the will of Dahna itself, but no definitive explanation is provided.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_dcb9c541	comment	Ship Tease: Aside from the many scenes leading up to the Romance Arc of the two main characters, there are many scenes devoted to heavily implying there is romance developing between the rest of the party as well, namely Law/Rinwell and Dohalim/Kisara. In particular near the end of the game there are two sets of sequences that feature each pairing. The first set involves an intimate talk that heavily teases the feelings of the Dohalim/Kisara and Law/Rinwell pairings, but outright has Shionne stop Alphen from confessing his love then and there, asking that he wait until her thorns are removed. The second set occurs during the final fight against the Great Astral Spirit, and features a mandatory Boost Strike for each pairing where they attack while expressing their devotion and hopes for the future with the other. That their scenes are treated as equals to Shionne and Alphen's are quite telling.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_e1ad8128	comment	Lingering Social Tensions: "Beyond the Dawn" shows the state of the world one year after the main game's ending, revealing that even with the defeat of the Renan Lords, freedom of the Dahnans, and the reunification of the two worlds, the centuries of Fantastic Racism will still be hard to overcome, even if progress has been made. Even places like Elde Menancia where co-existence is being practiced is seeing issues, namely from hordes of people fleeing from regions with high racial tensions leading to resource issues, and having to be on alert for radicals trying to set up shop in the area for the purpose of deliberately inflaming tensions. Cyslodia not only has the usual racial tensions, it also has tensions between Dahnans because of how many became informants or Snake Eyes in order to survive under Ganabelt's regime, and the citizens aren't ready to forgive each other.

Even after getting the wound healed, Alphen later comments that his shoulder's been feeling funny and not moving right afterwards, requiring further healing to truly fix it up, indicating the blow was massively stronger than the usual damage he endures with his body. In gameplay, Dohalim possesses a special focus on perfect dodging and counterattacking, granting an increase to his penetration if he successfully dodges an opponent's attack.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_eb04f8d5	type	Fascist, but Inefficient
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_eb04f8d5	comment	Fascist, but Inefficient: The Renan occupation is more interested in causing Dahnan suffering than production or efficiency. Part of this is justified by the fact that more suffering means the spirit stones produce more energy, but Dohalim's benevolent rule in Elde Menancia proves that one can produce a reasonable amount of astral energy without cruelty, and while it stands little chance of winning the Crown Contest this round, their production of mundane goods nevertheless skyrocketed. The stated point of the Crown Contest is also a complete lie, as there has never actually been a Renan ruling Lenegis as Sovereign, the past winners of the Crown Contest likely all being killed by the Helganquil soon after being named "Sovereign" (it's also noted that no one in Lenegis ever sees the winner in person again after they are crowned and supposedly sent to Rena, the only contact being holographic recordings and messages). The role of the actual Sovereign is merely a mechanical role in transferring astral energy, and until recently Alphen had been the only one in 300 years of attempts to make one. Vholran, holder of the water Master Core, is the second Sovereign in history, and has the corresponding power to go along with it. Just about the only reason he hasn't already revealed this is that he's filled with hatred and disgust towards both Rena and Dahna, and sees nothing wrong with watching them bleed each other to death and make them as miserable as he was. That, and he is still unwillingly beholden to some extent to the true master of Rena (who has him hooked up to an organic machine to try to force him to perform his true purpose later in the game). The true point of the Crown Contest is to harvest energy to recreate the Renas Alma that was destroyed 300 years ago, but with no Sovereign available to perform the ritual, the Helganquil had to wait, continue to gather energy, and continue to try to make a new Sovereign. Within Lenegis itself, the citizens are heavily indoctrinated into accepting any suspicious orders coming from the top and are very devoted to the Renan hierarchy, to the point where they see their Sovereign as an infallible and absolute ruler. When a crisis befalls the city and their Sovereign turns out to be fake, the citizens are lost without any real leadership and they're still afraid to question the Sovereign that failed to aid them in their time of need. Although Dohalim is able to use his high rank to bring order to the city, he also notes that they need to shed their dependency on Sovereigns and Lords if they're going to survive as a civilization.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_edae412c	comment	Fighter, Mage, Thief: This dynamic can be seen between the Renan Lords save for Dohalim, who turns on them and joins the party, and Vholran, who's actually a Dahnan. This applies not just in their fighting styles, but can also be seen in how they run their respective territories. Balseph is the Fighter, being the giant brute of a man wielding a a massive axe and is powerful enough to put up a fight without his Master Core. His slavery of the Dahnans is also the most straightforward, putting them all in work camps and working them to death. Ganabelt is the Thief, being a more nimble swordsman who's capable of creating clones of himself to assist him in combat and is capable of damaging Flash Steps. His treatment of the Dahnahns revolves using his Secret Police, the Snake Eyes, to spread paranoia and fear among them to turn them against each other, even starting his nation's sole resistance group to keep a closer eye on them. Almeidrea is the Mage, who relies entirely on casting supercharged wind Astral Artes while riding on the back of a Zeugle Chimera of her own creation to do the physical fighting in her stead. While we don't witness much of how she actually ruled, we do witness her gather Astral Energy using her alchemical and magical knowledge, creating the Fruit of Helgan that drains Astral Energy from whoever consumes them until they're nothing but a silverish liquid.

Renans have it drilled into them from birth to death that gaining power is the most valuable goal in life, the single all-important aspect of one's worth, and that becoming a lord is something every sane Renan should want. Thus, many can't conceive of how anything else but power could truly matter, and those that do care about other things have strong motivation to never admit or express these thoughts. Renans live with the constant burden to be or become superior, and it leads to an overall miserable life for many of them.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f	type	Wake-Up Call Boss
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f	comment	Wake-Up Call Boss: Balseph is the first real challenge Shionne and Alphen/Iron Mask face. While he is a Mighty Glacier his attacks are powerful, and cover a wide area. If Alphen gets hit, his HP will melt away quickly. The battle shows that getting through the boss fights will take a lot more then simply spamming your best artes. You have to learn how to dodge attacks and look for openings, and making sure you don't burn through your precious CP and items.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_f4aeb714	type	Human Aliens
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_f4aeb714	comment	Human Aliens: Renans are a Mage Species, but apart from their eye glow, are completely human biologically. Deconstructed and subverted. As shown under Human Subspecies, the reason Renans seem so much like Dahnans is that they are descended from transplanted and biologically engineered abductees from Dahna. The actual native species to Rena, the Helganquil, are shapeshifting Humanoid Aliens.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_f52ae5d8	type	Enemy Civil War
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_f52ae5d8	comment	Enemy Civil War: While they are not in open warfare with one another, the Renan Lords are actively competing against each other in the Crown Contest for the right to be named Sovereign of Rena. As a result, none of them are willing to help any of their fellow Lords deal with local resistance groups, seeing the rebellions as an opportunity to eliminate a potential rival to the throne. When Ganabelt does check in on Balseph following reports of Shionne escaping captivity and offers his "assistance", Balseph immediately shoots him down, both to protect his own ego and because he does not trust the motives of any of the other Lords. Even before the contest officially starts, Renans are required to fight each other in death matches to determine who becomes Lord of a particular region, and Almeidrea supposedly used dirty tricks against the rest of her family. Worse yet, some people actually admire her for doing so because they consider this an example of "strength." In Mahag Saar, Lord Almeidrea does request an Enemy Mine with Lord Vholran in order to defeat the party, but Vholran kills her first out of disgust towards her for losing to the party.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_f55a1990	comment	Disc-One Final Dungeon: Big Bad Vholran's castle is built up to be this, especially since he is the last of the five lords, the obvious main antagonist and Arch-Enemy of Alphen. It ends with an initial fight against another boss, followed by a two-phase fight against Vholran himself. Afterwards though, several reveals make it clear that the game is far from over and there are more journeys to come.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_f56aeb67	type	Alien Invasion
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_f56aeb67	comment	Alien Invasion: While Renans are human, they pretty much did this 300 years ago to Dahna—and very successfully. It's eventually revealed the Renans are not so much aliens as much as they are Dahnans capable of Astral Artes, kidnapped by the Helganquil, modified, and made to live in Lenegis; as such, the invasion could be said to be an alien invasion by proxy for the benefit of the Helganquil after the first Spirit Channeling ceremony failed.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_f64a9cf7	type	Earn Your Happy Ending
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_f64a9cf7	comment	Earn Your Happy Ending: For a rather dark game, Arise surprisingly has one of the most unambiguously happy endings in the series, particularly after the last couple ended on a bittersweet note at best. Alphen and Shionne succeed in merging Dahna and Rena, after having neutralized the Great Astral Spirit of Rena and preventing it from unnecessarily sucking any more life from Dahna than it already has, as well as stopped Vholran's rampage, without the need to sacrifice themselves. The people of both planets begin to slowly settle down in their new, unified world, and the last shot of the game is Alphen and Shionne's wedding.

As per Tales Series tradition though, it is actually but a Disc-One Final Dungeon with the real one taking place in the decimated planet of Rena.

Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_fc07d409	type	Hopeless Boss Fight
Tales of Arise (Video Game) / int_fc07d409	comment	Hopeless Boss Fight: Zigzagged and justified. During the fight with Nazamil, the heroes constantly mention trying to hold back because they don't want to seriously hurt her, and Nazamil ends up overusing her Astral Artes to the point of mania. She ends the fight by summoning her own Blazing Sword, but is immediately shown to stumble and pant in exhaustion. The automatic loss for the party is more to signify that the two groups tied - the party held back to avoid hurting Nazamil and Nazamil burnt herself out, and neither has the strength to make another attack in the following cutscene.

While the ship itself is not small, upon entering, the player will see the interior to be way bigger than its outside suggested, the cockpit being the most obvious discrepancy to notice.
