This week on the Boss Rush Gamescast
One of the most celebrated JRPG series is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year and we want to talk about it.
On this episode of the Boss Rush Gamescast, Patrick Klein is joined by Stoy Jovic, Taylor, and guest Josh to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Bandai Namco’s Tales of series.
They dive into the series’ 47 entries—including 32 console games, 2 PC games, and 13 mobile titles—revisiting its evolution from Tales of Phantasia on the Super Famicom to Tales of Arise on PS5.
The crew discusses what has set Tales of apart from other JRPGs over the years, from its unique mascots and recurring characters to its battle systems and storytelling quirks.
Along the way, they share their favorite and least favorite entries, reflect on the impact of the Tales of Remastered Project, and explore why the series has remained a fan favorite for over three decades.
