What's the gameplay loop like?

[Sol]

Monster Hunter looter grind or a lineal FF7R styled game? I get the combat system, but whats the gameplay loop like?

[Jeffer'son Airship]

It's a linear rpg focused on story/characters.

Half story, half gameplay. Linear plot progression, with optional sidequests. Focus is more on the character interactions/development throughout story.

lots of fighting, lots of looting, lots of optional but mostly enjoyable character- interaction and lots of idealistic philosophy and heartbreaking twists. thats the tales eries in a nutshell id say.

Sounds good! I've never played a Tales game but I'm gonna get it :)

Is there loot rarity and rare loot to grind for?

should be grind loot too, but at 90% you fight because battle system really good.
In berseria i just clean all location BECAUSE OF THAT, in older games too much fights, so you overfeed you with fights.

i would say similar to FF7, yes.


You have your story bits and then some figthing and maybe a boss and then story again etc...

its not really that type of loot game. its more that you find glittery spots in the overworld and chests in both the world and the dungeons.

Tales games are usually more of a character-driven & story-driven game, instead of those looty or grindy types of games. Not saying grinding is absent, but it is usually not the main priority.
