It's my GOTY and I've played the crap out of it. There are no memes, that's just what people who haven't played it say to discredit it because "OMG TUMBLRTALE BECAUSE THE MAIN CHARACTER IS ANDROGYNOUS!"
Here's what you can expect:
- Interesting and complex story with multiple different endings depending on your actions during the game
- Charming characters and a unique sense of humor
- Homage/parody of old JRPGs
- Unique combat system involving a hybrid of traditional JRPG and shmup mechanics
- Absolutely amazing soundtrack
Itzena is a massive faggot, but Undertale is a legitimately great game and his endorsement shouldn't turn you off from it.
The main character is a girl.
Thanks!
Anyway, Undertale was partially inspired by Earthbound so if you like that you probably want to give Undertale a try. Just, like I said, go in blind - no watching Let's Plays or anything.
Also the music is great if you like chiptunes/8-bit games:

Depends on how close you are to their shipping centers.

Of all the songs in the soundtrack, you link the worst one. Just stop, you're doing more harm than good.
...but he is right about one thing: don't watch any Let's Plays or look up anything about the game's plot, pretty much everything after the first ten minutes is pretty big spoiler territory. If you have questions about the game and don't want spoilers, it's probably best to ask them here.

So Tales of Zestiria. Is it me or does the combat just kinda suck in this game? I get the action street fighter like combo system and all that but it just feels clunky. I can't tell if I just suck or if there is stupid amounts of input lag that make it both boring and infuriating at the same time.

I've been playing it since launch and still haven't beaten it. It's just been a struggle through and through, and I'm a huge jrpg enthusiast. And imo the combat is the weakest by far of any PS3-and-later-era entry.

Same way for me and monster hunter. Complete shit to me, but for some reason a lot of people love it

I loved Graces's combat (rest of the game was shit). Can't stand MH combat either, but I love Dark Souls and they seem kinda similar, go figure.

The thing about Zestiria combat, and those systems, is the action-y part sucks at low levels because you have no skills, combos, and limited resources. Once you can pull off 50, 80, 100 hit chains with party member combos it feels a ton better.
Remember in Zestiria that you can regain TP while blocking. Free running stops your TP gain. Dashing counts towards linking your attacks. Also play the rock, paper, scissors of mystic arte vs attack arte vs regular attacks.
It was not my favorite combat system and the AI is pretty bad. Not Ni No Kuni bad, but you spend a lot of time watching them die to stupid shit.

Monster Hunter combat is terrible. The people who like it enjoy it despite how awful it is.

Monster Hunter combat is closer to, say, Street Fighter than it is a Tales, Star Ocean, etc.. game. You have active frames, you are either +/- on block or attack, and have to be very deliberate and calculated with your actions. Well I guess that sounds more like Souls style combat. The camera system and ranged weapons were more always more annoying to me than anything. But I almost exclusively played bow or gun and just bitched the whole time.
Take Xenoblade Chronicles X and put a Monster Hunter back end and I'd maybe be in Heaven.

The biggest problem I have with Tales thus far is I see the boss I'm fighting is weak against earth, OK, switch to my earth seraph and armatize. Uh... armatize. WTF I HIT ARMATIZE LIKE 30 FUCKING TIMES. Fine switch to a different seraph... OH NOW IT ARMATIZES. The controls just don't seem to respond well. I try to dash, it goes forward sometimes when I'm clearly pressing back. Etc etc etc. Not to mention that the combos and weaknesses don't really seem to matter much anyway. I feel like I'm just button mashing.

Zestria was ok - i beat it and sold it to a cousin, Graces was too kiddy for me i returned it for full price after a couple days of play. Vesperia is still my fav and i loved the combat in it, and i think Graces combat was pretty good too, but to me Vesperia had it best.
Monster Hunter is ugh....no thanks - i tried it on Wii a couple years back and could not understand the hype behind it at all - Needless to say the Wii and MH both went back to Amazon.
Zestria is likely one of the better Tales games in recent years but i didnt like Xillia much for reasons i cant understand myself
If you havent played it yet,.. do play Dragons Dogma : Dark Arisen, that and Divinity Original Sin are two low key RPGs i cannot get enough of. Big games like Witcher 3 and DAI are well known and great too but i dont think ive seen a dungeon design in a game quite as good as Dragons Dogma.

I've never had this problem (PS4). Game responds just fine to me. It's very possible you didnt (or your earth seraph) didn't have 1 BG point or you (or your earth seraph) had a status effect preventing armitization.
I find tales combat very fun, but everyones different
I think tales of the abyss had the best combat of any tails games (FOF Charges were very fun!), zesteria is certainly not on the bottom of the list. I'd probably put legendia there. Talk about boring combat.

Oh Tales of the Abyss... right. Yea this isn't the first Tales game I've played. Damn was that a long time ago. It's gotten better as I've progressed through the story and gotten more accustomed to the timing of different attacks and sidesteps and what have you. It still feels sluggish to me and just not very enjoyable though. And the size of the arenas and the camera are just downright awful. I'm basically rushing through it to trade it back in to best buy.
