As someone who is brand new to Tales, I do not have great points of reference to older Tales games. Might revisit afterwards of playing a few more in the series. I will hit on the major parts of the game.

Combat: Good god there is a lot here. Too much maybe as the game already took me 70 hours to beat on Moderate but combat feels fantastic... most of the time. Running from one encounter to the other and with the inclusion of the combo gauge once you reach the 3rd kingdom makes advancing and fighting so much fun and it is FLASHY. The enemy types are fairly recycled, I personally don't have a major problem with it since its a fairly common practice for JRPG's but be wary of the 4 types of just about every enemy. The faults come from its abhorrent health inflation, scream/roar disrupts, split second attacks and enrage mechanics... basically things that only apply to bosses. The fact that I am given the ability in most combat to learn BG stuns and cancels and learning to read the fight which is promptly robbed in bosses as they sit in an enraged form for most of the fight or have a .2 second stun window from a BG stun. Some bosses barely give you time for any comboing anyway so BG stuns are practically pointless in most boss fights. They're still cool af and stylistic but most of the fight feels more like a chore and running away like a ♥♥♥♥♥ than fighting. I also didn't have much of a problem in terms of enemy damage. It it high? ♥♥♥♥ yeah it is, which is only a problem for AI as you learn most of the attacks easily with the exception those that have zero wind-up

AI gets its own thing, its so trash, play with all ranged characters with Decreased Aggro and melee with tankiest accessories. Most CP will be used healing and Reviving everyone except yourself

Story: It leaves plotholes for so long you worry its a ♥♥♥♥ story given there is no context or foreshadowing. The story is really good though, most of the party members story and struggles is told really well. The plotholes will get filled eventually, the game having essentially 2 sections with a new anime season intro for each makes the second section feel forced in a way but wraps up nicely having explained it all but you are lost as hell. You may say thats a part of story telling but you will understand playing it that something always feels off about its story progression.

Overall, this game is really good. Combat absolutely carries(Despite its issues), the storytelling is pretty solid with some good twists, the atmosphere is beautiful even in the most depressing areas and the conclusion felt so worth the grind.

Great Story, Satisfying Combat, Fun side stories. Its just all around a great game to pour hours into.

10/10 some issues, but easily ignored

Hard as Balls
But Extremely Rewarding
