Everything from Skits to Sub-Quests to Character Quests to the Main Questline has been vital aspects of theTales Ofseries for quite some time, so having yet another type of quest to look forward to wasn’t at all surprising in the brand new EX Quests offered inTales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn.

These types of Quests, while still primarily focusing on two party members, are entirely ‘Extra’ or ‘Optional,’ but should absolutely be hard focused on if you even remotely like Alphen and Shionne or the supporting characters in their party. EX Quests give them the send-off they deserve and are arguably the best in the expansion!
