I love the tales games. i thought at first the female main character would hurt the hero/ antihero role play. But not at all i even got some of the DLCs but not all of them. This game is really fun to play and the auto fighting can help with the grind if you want to level up but not have to take everything seriously. the character look good and even better with the DLCs they play very well. I love the story i have not beaten the game so i cant say how long it takes to beat it. but recommend this game to anyone.
