Rhythm Encounter 148 – Tales of Rhythm

Rhythm Encounter 148 - Art from Tales of Berseria, Phantasia, Arise, and Abyss

We’re no strangers to game series-themed episodes on Rhythm Encounter, such as our Mario RPGs or Dragon Quest shows. Now, it’s time for the Tales series! Bandai Namco’s long-running series turns 30 next year, and the mainline series alone contains 17 games (or 18 depending on which ones you count). That’s more than enough material to showcase on an episode, wouldn’t you say? Join our panel as we talk about the oldest, newest, and several Tales games in between, and listen to music by the venerable Motoi Sakuraba and company.

Featuring: Mike Salbato, Michael Sollosi, Wes Iliff, Stephanie Sybydlo; Edited by Paul Dennis
