Tales of Arise Merchandise – Sparks Between Two Worlds
Since the '90s, the Tales of series has been one of the big names in Japanese role-playing games – but few entries have struck a chord like 2021's "Tales of Arise." Bandai Namco tells the story of the enslaved Alphen, who knows neither memory nor pain, and Shionne, whose touch inflicts pain like a thorn on anyone she touches: together, they stand up to the Lords of the planet Rena, which has subjugated its neighboring world Dahna for three centuries. The game was celebrated for its visuals, its dynamic combat system, and its choice of themes, opening the series up to a wide new audience. At Elbenwald you'll find officially licensed Tales of Arise merchandise – for anyone who's never forgotten the flaming-sword moment.
What makes Tales of Arise special?
The balancing act between tradition and a fresh start. The series has always cultivated its trademarks – anime aesthetics, real-time combat, sprawling campfire conversations – but "Arise" was the first to translate them into a modern graphics engine with a watercolor-like look that plays like moving artwork. Add to that a cast that's more than mere companions: six characters from both planets, each with their own agenda and combat style, growing into a real community. And the game's central image – Alphen wielding the burning sword, whose pain Shionne can't take on for him – ranks among the most iconic images in modern JRPGs. Moments like these are what turn a game into a fandom.
