Tales of Arise is the most recent installment in the long-running Tales Of JRPG franchise by Bandai Namco, having been a critical and commercial success on top of it. Praised for its stellar combat, interesting world design, its way of blending the fantasy and sci-fi genres together, alongside an anime aesthetic makes it a very unique game. With Arise now having been released for nearly over a month, a survey was released by Bandai Namco asking for feedback about the game.
This survey contains several questions one would expect when asking feedback from a player. These included general inquiries about the game's gameplay, presentation, and other aspects, all used to gather information for future use. However, the survey also had some questions that involved some of the older Tales Of games, which may indicate some interest in bringing these titles to current hardware.
One of these questions asked is "Which of the following games would you like to play a remaster version of?" Many Tales games in the franchise are selectable choices in this survey, which includes the Tales of Xillia duology, Tales of Phantasia, Tales of the Abyss, and even the PSP exclusive Tales crossover Tales of the world-Radiant Mythology-. With all of these games released on several consoles and covered several genres, there's a lot that haven't been brought over to modern technology in any official capacity.
Another survey question asked, "Which of the following Tales of games would you be interested in seeing released in Europe?" presumably for Japan-exclusive games that were never released in the region. Of the selectable games in the survey that never made it to Europe included classic Tales games, including Tales of Rebirth, Tales of Destiny, and Tales of Destiny 2. That being said, as this is only a survey, this doesn't automatically mean that these prior titles are confirmed to be receiving new releases.
With this Tales Of Arise survey now live, it gives fans a chance to let their voice be heard. Ideally, if demand is loud enough and fans take this survey, they may possibly see a remaster of their favorite entry from the series brought over to current consoles and PC. Fans have posted to social media rallying other fans of the series to participate in the survey, asking them to raise their voice and let their desire for these potential remasters be known.
Tales of Arise is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
