Which Tales to play

Discussion

So i basically grew up playing Tales of The Abyss and it’s my literal 2nd fav game ever (after Shadow Hearts Covenant) both surprisingly from the PS2 era.
I then played Tales of Phantasia on the Gba but couldn’t finish it.
I played a bit of Tales of Arise on my ex’s PS5 but didn’t even do more than 10% of the game
I finally got a PS5 for myself this year and played and finished Tales of Xillia remastered and really liked it.
I ended up buying Zestiria Vesperia and Symphonia remastered too during a sale.
I’m playing Zestiria right now and it’s really nice. But i also started the other two and am now confused which title to play coming from Xillia.
I think i’ll do Zestiria but should i go chronologically?
I really love Symphonia’s story at the start even though it’s the oldest graphics wise but genuinely looks fantastic (story wise) and ToV looks like a ton of fun too.
Need to buy Arise as well lmao ok sorry
