It’s time to admit I don’t like Tales games

They’re in the same category as Compile Heart, where I keep thinking I’m going to like this one, and I get let down every time. Even setting aside the clunky combat, the only ones where I was interested in the story and characters were Innocence and Hearts, and Innocence was just stupidly grindy. (I didn’t even like Symphonia, and that one’s supposed to be a classic.)
