Tales of Arise Beyond the Dawn Will Feature a Simplified Tutorial for Returning Players

The Japanese outlet Famitsu recently interviewed the producer of Tales of Arise, Yusuke Tomizawa, about what players can expect from the upcoming Tales of Arise Beyond the Dawn DLC expansion.

In one exchange, Tomizawa revealed that Beyond the Dawn will feature a simplified tutorial to refresh players on the gameplay systems. While the specifics of said tutorial weren’t elucidated, he clarified that even though this scenario takes place after the main game’s events, you won’t be facing off against enemies who are on the same level as those in the final dungeon.

This news is honestly pretty relieving because it’s been roughly two years since Arise, and I sure don’t remember the battle system.

Interviewer: It has been two years since the release of [Tales of Arise], so there are likely to be a few players who have forgotten the action controls and systems.

Tomizawa: You will be able to experience a simplified version of the tutorial on the actions, though not as much as at the start of the main game. It’s just something that will help you remember how to control the characters.

Also, you will not suddenly be fighting last dungeon-level enemies again. I believe that you will be able to experience the satisfaction and exhilaration that come from playing through the game and developing your companions.
