It's a game that I can definitely recommend to any Tales of Series fans who are willing to deal with the JP language-only interface. If you join in during the game's anniversary month (every March), then you get a whole bunch of free stuff and can make some solid teams that'll get you through the main story arc without too many issues. Even without that, there's still a lot of different ways you can recruit and strengthen your characters that don't require money - just time, grinding, and asking other players who speak your language for advice.
If you're new to the game, then there's always a lot of different stuff you can do. If you've been a longtime player, then there's probably just the Tower, Spirit Gear farming, Bond farming, Recollection Mode, Unison Attack (assuming you have players who speak your language and can do multiplayer with you), new gacha characters, and new events to look forward to... That probably still sounds like a lot to a new player, huh? I think it could get boring if you complete everything the game has to offer, but it would take you a long, LONG time before you complete EVERYTHING this game has to offer.
I would not recommend this game to people who are new/unfamiliar with the Tales of Series, though. Crossover games are not a good way to introduce people to the franchise because you're always gonna inevitably feel like there's some inside joke you just can't get. And if you hate the Tales of Series, then I don't think even a game like this would change your opinion on it.
On a final note, if you end up enjoying this game a lot, then please invest what you can in it. I don't want people to whale to the point that they can't pay their bills or anything, but if you can buy the cheapest pack they have during a big sale or discount, then it would help the game's servers stay on longer. This is the biggest and best crossover Tales mobile game. It was planned by someone who has a lot of personal gratitude for the series, and you can feel that in every aspect of the game.
I want to see Tales of the Rays be so successful that they can even safely consider bringing this game to other platforms some day!
