Today, during a livestream hosted by the vTuber Takanashi Kiara, Bandai Namco introduced a few videos of Tales of Arise in English.
We get to see an example of a skit and camping, also hinting to fishing and farming. The second video shows cooking and its results.
The third video showcases Kisara as she talks about her favorite activity, fishing. The fourth video focuses on dialogue between Alphen and Rinwell.
Incidentally, those are similar to the videos showcased earlier today, but in English instead of Japanese, so you can see both versions.
Last, but not least, we take a look at a lot more screenshots of the costumes coming with the limited editions. Interestingly, we also see how most of the costumes have three color variations.
Tales of Arise is coming on September 10 (September 9 in Japan) for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

If you’re unfamiliar with the game, you can read an official description below and my hands-on preview.
“Tales of ARISE follows the story of Alphen, an iron-masked individual whose home planet of Dahna has been enslaved and stripped of natural resources for the past 300 years by the nearby planet of Rena. As Alphen fights to free his people he encounters Shionne, a girl from Rena who is on the run from her countrymen. Both Alphen and Shionne will be joined throughout the journey by a supporting cast of characters to help in their fight for freedom.
Tales of ARISE carries the DNA of the much-loved Tales of franchise while also introducing advanced graphics and an evolved combat system to help push the series into the future. A new “Atmospheric Shader” developed by BANDAI NAMCO Studios adds subtle touches to the look and feel of the world evoking a hand-drawn painting. Combat has also evolved, allowing for a better sense of spectacle and direct player feedback based upon their actions. The graphics, combat system, characters, and story all work together to present a vivid and realized world that will immerse players as they are transported to the many environments and biomes they will explore throughout their time with Tales of ARISE.”
