My intro to the Tales series.
+Gorgeous presentation and visuals. Can't say enough good things about the art style.
+Combat feels fluid and generally satisfying. Skill animations are a visual treat
+I liked the character moments through skits, scenes, all the cute dialogue in battle and just exploring the overworld

-Writing was not all there. The second half of the game feels much weaker than the first half, and it feels like what the game was building up and the themes it was about get tossed out the window.
-Some of the dialogue was painful, I won't lie
-The way the ending is resolved.. Nothing more to say.

Still had plenty of fun overall. Was a good time with Shonen Anime the JRPG
