Bandai Namco Entertainment describes the game as follows:
Tales of ARISE carries the DNA of the much-loved Tales of franchise while also introducing an advanced “Atmospheric Shader” and evolved combat system that allow for a sense of spectacle and direct player feedback based upon their actions. The graphics, combat system, characters, and story all work together to present a vivid and realized world that will immerse players as they are transported to the many environments and biomes they will explore throughout their time with Tales of ARISE.
