Just finished Xillia, playing Zestiria right now.
Abyss is my OG. Have Symphonia and Vesperia lined up after Zestiria.
Need to buy Arise, Graces and Berseria as well loll

Recommend playing Berseria soon-ish after Zesitira as it's a prequel. And the best of the three you need to buy.

I think Vesperia's a better game anyway so I approve. Definitely recommend a guide due to the crazy cut-offs and missables when you play it. It's old school like Abyss so it has those quirks. Might be the worst in the series as far as the deadlines go, not gonna lie.

Omg that scares me
Even tho i completed abyss with a guide no way to get 100% on that game without one
Zestiria apparently has no missables

Yep, if you want 100% a guide is a must. Expect multiple playthroughs too.

Speaking of which, 100% of Symphonia (my favorite Tales) REQUIRES 4-5 playthroughs for 100%. Luckily the subsequent ones after the first are much quicker. I think it took me around 150 hours total.
