Lying Creator is not the correct fit. The Tales staff changed their minds on making the main game a one-and-done deal due to the fan-feedback from players wanting a more conclusive end to the game's story. Keep the example hidden until a more suitable trope can be found.


* LyingCreator: Bandai Namco claimed during promotional interviews that ''Arise'' was a one and done game and that there would be no future DownloadableContent apart from minor bonuses like additional costumes and items. Fast forward to September 15 2023, two years after release, and they announced ''Beyond the Dawn'', a story expansion.

** Creator/KyleMcCarley usually plays heroic or younger characters. Ganabelt Valkyris is far from that.

** Kisara is one of the rare instances of Creator/HarunaIkezawa doing a mature lady with a contralto, when she's mostly known for very high pitched young girls, mostly as [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Athena Asamiya]]. Even when she lowered her pitch, the most she could get was more like a younger fierce girl like [[Anime/DancougarNova Aoi Hidaka]], which is in-between.

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** Namco gets a lot of criticism for their [[InvisibleAdvertising lack of advertising]] of the series outside Japan. They seem to have taken that criticism to heart, and have been actively advertising ''Arise'' the best they can. This seemed to have paid off as ''Arise'' managed to [[https://www.gematsu.com/2021/09/tales-of-arise-shipments-and-digital-sales-top-one-million sell over 1 million copies worldwide in less than a week.]] Making ''Arise'' the fastest-selling game in the series.
** Fans complained that the series slowly became DarkerAndEdgier, particularly with the number of {{Downer Ending}}s and {{Bittersweet Ending}}s, as pretty much every mothership ''Tales'' game over the previous ''decade'' had endings like those. [[VideoGame/TalesOfBerseria The previous mainline series entry in particular]] was criticized for having a rather bleak ending, with complaints saying that protagonist Velvet Crowe should have gotten a happy ending [[BrokenBird after all she went through]]. Despite ''Arise'' also being fairly dark, it has [[EarnYourHappyEnding easily one of the happiest endings in the entire series, even if the heroes had to go through hell to get there]].
** The ''Tales'' franchise has been lacking in the romantic department for quite a while now, with the previous [[VideoGame/TalesOfBerseria two]] [[VideoGame/TalesOfZestiria entries]] being pretty much [[NoHuggingNoKissing devoid of it]]. And thanks to ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia2's'' having a sad ending compared to its [[VideoGame/TalesOfXillia predecessor]], the last time a ''Tales'' OfficialCouple even got to have an unambiguously happy ending was in ''2010'' with the ''VideoGame/TalesOfGraces'' [[PostScriptSeason "Lineage and Legacies"]] chapter in the ''f'' version. As for ''Arise'', [[spoiler:the game makes no secret at all of the growing mutual attraction between Alphen & Shionne (as well as more subtle ShipTease between the other two pairs Rinwell & Law and Kisara & Dohalim), and the ending gave players a double-whammy of both TheBigDamnKiss (the last time a ''Tales'' main couple had even kissed was also in ''Graces'', but due to it being part of a theatrical play, the mood wasn't quite the same as it would've been normally) and a [[HappilyMarried picture of their wedding in the end credits.]]]]
** A criticism of multiple games in the past were how many sidequests [[GuideDangIt could be very tough to find]], and some could even be [[PermanentlyMissableContent gone until you played through again]]. This game fixes that by making the sidequests marked on the field ''and'' while using the WarpWhistle.

* BreakthroughHit: Arguably the first in the series since VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia, gaining the best reviews in the series from both critics and fans, and netting record sales for the entire series, selling 1 million units in less then a week (and breaking the 2 million barrier about six months in) and having a record 60,000 concurrent players on Steam on its opening weekend, beating all of the previous games released on Steam combined, and even outperforming ''VideoGame/Persona4 Golden'' in this regard.

* NewbieBoom: Needless to say, the best-selling and best-reviewed game in the series since ''Symphonia'' is seeing a whole new wave of fans entering the fandom. This has actually caused a bit of friction, since many of the new players, who usually like ''Arise'' a whole bunch, don't quite see where some older fans are coming from with criticism of the game.
