Tales of Arise will probably not be launched until mid-2020 at least, since it is almost half finished with the recording.

Bandai Namco organized an event on stage for Tales of Arise September 15, the last day of the Tokyo Game Show 2019. The featured event Tales of Arise Producer Yusuke Tomizawa and the seiyuu of the two protagonists have revealed up to here: Takuya Sato who expresses Alphen and Shino Shimoji who plays Shionne.

Several new details concerning Tales of Arise's story and worldbuilding were shared. And a new trailer was revealed at the end. Here are the main points of the event on stage:

  • In Tales of Ariseall things and all living things have an energy called astral energy. It is written in Japanese "the spiritual energy of the planets". It is a type of energy related to the planets of Dahna and Rena where the game takes place.
  • The inhabitants of Rena like Shionne can use "Astral Artes", which uses this energy and which is fundamentally magic.
  • Shionne can use healing magic.
  • When Rena's people use magic, their eyes turn blue.
  • In addition to suffering from memory loss, Alphen can not feel pain. But it's not like he's not immortal either.
  • The flame sword used by Alphen is also a type of magic that Shionne can use, but Alphen is the only one who can wield the sword. Why the sword comes out of his body is a secret that they can not explain yet.
  • Takuya Sato jokingly said that Alphen gets burned all the time by brandishing such a dangerous sword and such a beautiful thing that he can not feel the pain. The caravan later revealed that he was actually burned and Shionne healed him every time.
  • The game registration is not over yet, and about 40%. In my opinion, this means that the game will not be released until mid-2020 or even the end of 2020.
  • We also listen to Takuya Sato (Timestamp) and Shino Shimoji (Timestamp) live.
  • Takuya Sato explained that he had asked many questions to the staff in order to best express Alphen. For example, he can see well with the mask or if his field of vision is reduced.
  • Alphen has no memory and feels no pain, but he is not without emotion. On the contrary, the fact that he misses these things makes him very emotional, like a person who has a dull mind to make up for the ones he misses.
  • Shionne is overwhelmed by a curse called "Rose's curse". Anyone that she touches ends up feeling an unbearable pain. It's something that always activates when it touches someone, even unconsciously, regardless of one's will. It is also one of the reasons why she acts arrogantly, so people do not approach her. In truth, she is very lonely.

They also showed this new background on the flow, explaining how Tales of Arise has beautiful graphics and lightning while keeping an aesthetic of animated illustrations.

Finally, the new trailer was shown at the end of the event. The trailer teases a new female character with a mascot character, but does not reveal her face.

Tales of Arise launches in 2020 on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
