Animated Skits
Recommended Videos
Skits are a staple in the Tales Of series, so changing them up in the way that Tales of Arise did could have been controversial. But the game nailed it.
Skits are basically conversations between party members that add humor, characterization, and context to events in the story. They’re usually presented as dialogue between 2D portraits/art of the characters, but Tales of Arise has Skits that use the 3D models, animating them in comic book-style panels.
This new take on a longtime series tradition is refreshing and should make a return in future entries because of how much more emotion and expression can be seen in characters’ faces and body language when the scenes are animated in 3D.
