They were really cool in One/PS4 5LR and I really wish Team Ninja can bring them back as well as the needed stages in 7. Shame 6 and 6 LR doesn't have them.

Unlike lots of Anime and Cartoons where the parents were neglectful, overly strict or insufferable, Spy X Family has really good parent characters with almost none of these tropes and I wish other shows and movies can do this.

I do wonder after the first defeat of Jack Of Blades but before the 1 year timeskip, I kinda want to headcanon the hero having a conversation with Theresa about the lore and the hero celebrating his first time defeating Jack in the guild, helping the guild being repaired then learning that Jack isn't fully defeated yet.

When I first played The Lost Chapters, I did not know the sword existed at all until in the 2020's and I'm very happy I now have this very powerful sword

I really do wonder if The Crawler and The Darkness were such as if they were hiding in Albion then sometime they went to Aurora (which wasn't in I & II sadly) and how The Darkness was made, that would've been cool even though I kinda see why Peter kept it in III because it could end the original series faster.

They have the similar feel as you're talking to your friends during your journey which I really love both except one is closer while the other is distant.

Sure, it's story is not the best, combat can feel copied from other Bamco property as well as bosses are spongy (though I'm fine with the gameplay), villains are one note/don't have meat in them but I still find good things about it. It's not my favorite Tales (that goes to Berseria) but it's I'd say decent at best

As Berseria tends to have gameplay that often was button mashing and Arise was overly parry based similar to modern Bandai Namco games or published as well as having spongy bosses/enemies, would it be a good idea to go back to the Graces-Xillia era gameplay or keep Arise's combat with modifications to make it better than Arise?

I just get a bit confused about this like if a Pokemon game got gloomy/serious since it's mostly a lighthearted E/E10+ series I'd understand getting complaints from fans though when it gets dark, people will praise it instead of complaining about the dark tone of that Pokemon game, but when Tales which most of its games get a Teen rating gets a dark game, people will have mixed opinions about its tone.

It'd be cool if some developer that make RM4 without the involvement of Alfa System, have every current main Tales game, a hub with the open feel of Arise (even though that might be divisive), and lots of things to do and explore.
