It’s super interesting to see how the series does and how the top games differ in each region. Other previously mentioned videos in the 25th-anniversary celebration include top 20 favourite characters, top 20 favourite villains and top 10 emotion scenes, the data from those were gathered from a Tales of series’ 25th-anniversary survey. 

It’s only early days in the 25th anniversary but I do hope the celebration culminates in the future of the series. More specifically a better idea when fans can get their hands on the next entry in the series, Tales of Arise, which was delayed to 2021 but we are supposed to get more information on it this spring.
