Dohalim Most Popular Tales of Arise Character In Japan & More Fan Reception Revealed Via Famitsu; General Producer Insights

In the latest weekly issue of Famitsu magazine, much focus was given to fan reception regarding the latest Tales of entry, Tales of Arise. Several facets were polled, such as favorite skits, characters, and more. Unexpectedly, Dohalim was revealed to be the game’s most famous character, with Shionne and Alphen being relatively close behind. The rest of the main party was far less favored by comparison.

When it comes to skits, The Great Pancake Contest was the most beloved due to its lengthy and humorous interactions. Funnily enough, the second through fifth most favorite skits all involve Dohalim in a rather involved capacity, tying into his popularity.

Additionally, General Producer Yusuke Tomizawa answered several fan inquiries relating to the future of the series and specific aspects of Arise’s development. The efficacy of the Atmospheric Shader and specific plot beats are discussed at length, so if you have yet to play Tales of Arise, you should not yet view these articles.
