What starts off with people refusing to work with Shionne turns into a conversation about how there may be hope for the Renans and Dahnans to coexist peacefully. Instead, the main conversation turns to the Dahnans' prejudice against Shionne as a Renan. The story focuses on the liberation of Dahna more than who Alphen is, and players are told to overlook it.
When players meet Alphen at the start of Tales of Arise, he's known as the Iron Mask with no name or face. RELATED: Tales of Arise Is Getting A Free Playable Demo Soon Coexistence and The History of Renans, Dahnans, and Seraphim With how Arise swerves into exploring the impact of the Renans' control over Dahna, it almost feels as if the game serves as the third installment to Zestiria and its prequel Berseria taking the themes of both and wrapping them up with a nice bow. Tales of Arise notably takes huge gameplay inspiration from Tales of Zestiria with a more Berseria-like control scheme, but the connections go further than that. With Alphen's memories returning and Shionne opening herself to her friends, the new title makes itself home with Tales of Berseria and Zestiria by setting itself up as another story discussing coexistence and the importance of the past affecting the future.Īs these three titles are part of an ongoing JRPG series, some similarities are to be expected. The story of Alphen and Shionne begins as a story of liberation, but as it evolves and truths are revealed, their tale feels familiar. Leading up to the release of Tales of Arise, many fans wondered how the title would be compared to other games, and what sort of story would unfold in the world of the Dahnans and Renans.
