I think one of the major issues with Tales games is that they're combo based action games but also 70 hour rpgs. The rate at which they dole out moves to make cool combos with ends up being super slow, and you don't feel like you can do really crazy shit until like post game
Out of the pre-Graces games I think Vesperia does the best job of it though. At this point in the game the artes sphere doubled the amount of artes I can have at one time and allows for greater utilization of fatal strikes and stuff. Makes it a lot of fun
Altered artes also add another layer to the experience. I do think they could be more generous though. Honestly if they made only one character playable they could probably have enough shit going on so that it would never get tired even for 70 hours
Like if you main Yuri, which you most likely will, you won't even know what casting spells is even like. That's an entire type of attack you just won't experience lol. Seems like kind of a waste to me. Same with Aerial artes and stuff.
