Compared to Zero's designs, the designs are pretty shit. The eyes are weird too, they're smaller and set back further into the face which only makes the noses of all the characters look bigger, especially the female ones.

Do you see the way the right eye behind Saber's nose is noticeable in this shot? As well as the small impression near the lips? That's missing from a lot of side-on shots of characters in UBW.
>>
>>143290988
>But it is what happened, it is in the interviews. Takeuchi was their guide for the designs.

Tabata sucks copying his style though.

Sudou is the one that keeps closer to Takeuchi's style, check the Hollow Ataraxia openings or Sakura in the UBW anime.

In fact check Sudou characters in UBW anime and check the ones made by Tabata(Rin).

Anon hate to break it to you but if the original designer is the one who was partially responsible for the designs then the end product is his fault. You can't claim that it's not similar to his design when he's the one who helped design it.

Not unless you're delusional.

If the original designer was a part of the staff and was helping to guide the designs then the end product was partially his fault. Ergo you can't reasonably claim that it doesn't fit the original designer's style when the original designer helped make it.

The most you can say is that it doesn't suit YOUR tastes.

Post all the good looking moments of UBW you like, fact remains a lot of shit ones still exist.

Not that I blame them. Zero had dips in quality too (episode 11, primarily) but once UBW had come about I have to wonder how much money they had left to spread around.

It also severely restricts what a composer could do melodically. A lot of the UBW soundtrack isn't even trying compared to some of Kajiura's stuff on F/Z. In that sense, UBW's soundtrack was "safe".

Mikleo and Sorey are just as gay as Rita and Estelle.

As in, they aren't actually gay unless you're interpreting it that way.

Which I do.
>>
>>143291908
While there is no overt romance, it's pretty obvious that Mikleo really wants Sorey's D, and Sorey doesn't seem to register anyone as "attractive" besides Mikleo. Besides that you've also got Rose and Dezel.
>>
>>143291976
But Berseria looks fine. Zestiria is just terrible.
>>
>>143291998
As much as I wish there was a gay couple in Tales, I just can't see Sorey/Mikleo that way.

I can see Mikleo as being a little gay, I guess. But I can't see Sorey as being literally anything.
>>
>>143291998
>Besides that you've also got Rose and Dezel.

Are we calling that romance now?

So from what I've gathered, based on Zestiria alone, Tales fans will consider literally anything to be romance?
>>
>>143291976
I wonder if they'll ever use a new engine.

These games could run in the PSVita easily considering they don't look better than Digimon Cyber Sleuth or Nep games.
>>
>>143291939
The only reason why Mikleo wanted Rose to join was because of Sorey. He didn't want Sorey to be alone and without a human companion who could understand him.
>>
>>143292097
That's not the problem. The bending over backwards no matter how wrong she is 3 of 4 times after that the same way every other character does is the problem.
>>
How good is Tales of Xillia 2? I want to try it because it seems the story revolves around a cute loli.
I played first Xillia and thought it was too easy, the story was not that great either aside from Gaius moments, is the story in Xillia 2 any better?
>>
>>143291989
Nigga Estelle and Rita literally sleep together.
>>
>>143292040
Like I said Mikleo is literally the only character that Sorey canonically considers attractive (and Mikleo's titles in the Japanese version call him Sorey's most important person), so for Sorey in terms of sexuality. It's either Mikleo or bust.

>>143292076
Nip do, that's because the two of them are teased more in the JP version and Zestiria official releases.
>>
>>143292095
I've played both those games and you're grossly over exaggerating. The particle effects alone would cause the Vita to run at like 7 fps.
>>
>>143292118
What did you expect with Baba?
>>
>>143292145
The story in Xillia 2 is worse, in my opinion.

Maybe that's because I was expecting something that actually expanded on the first game's story instead of parallel world shit.

Also I hope you liked the all the areas and dungeons in Xillia, cause you'll be going through all of them again. Many times. Don't go thinking you'll get to explore Elympios or anything either.

Oh and all the characters from Xillia are all shoved into their own "episodes" as well, so you don't have to worry about their character or character development having anything to do with the main story, sort of like Persona 4 if you've played that.

The True ending was okay though
>>
>>143292218
>Sorey canonically considers attractive
>important person

I don't think either of these things equate to romance, especially taking Sorey's character into consideration. In literally any other context, if Sorey was any other character, I'd agree that it's gay. But it's Sorey, so there's nothing gay about it.
>>
>>143292218
Yeah to me that doesn't mean romance though. Sorey doesn't have a sexuality and he shouldn't.

I can say, Sorey wants to spend his life with Mikleo, that's obvious. Sorey definitely loves Mikleo. But it's not romantic, it's not gay. It's an entirely platonic, if not brotherly love. They are partners, not a couple.
>>
>>143292371
>Sorey doesn't have a sexuality and he shouldn't

Yeah, Sorey is Adventuresexual.

Jude is an insufferable main character, he's worse then Lloyd. Milla is just your generic strong girl hero, Alvin was unbearable until the second game, Elize and Rowan were.. okay. I barely even remember Leia.

>One of the worst final boss lead ups in the history of Tales
I'd be willing to say it's almost as bad as Duke in Vesperia.

Xillia and Xillia 2 are good games, yeah. But they aren't the best Tales games at all. Not with games like Destiny to compete with.
>>
Why the hate for Rose? I don't think she is really bad perse (kind of a dumb premise sure). But like everyone else she is umderutilized and does not get her character explored or developed in any meaningful way.

They should have done Vesperia. Lots of story and characters to work with there.

I don't think an anime can even capture the good parts of Zestiria! The bestiary and battle conversations and punny games. Which leaves it with just the base story...

This is going to suck.
>>
>>143292284
So they just reuse maps? That's pretty lazy I most say.
What about the loli? Does she gets a lot of screentime?

The episodes thing sounds nice, I like relationship based events like in Atelier or Persona.
>>
>>143292318
This is where the difference between the English and Nip version.

Also context, the scene where Sorey says he finds Mikleo attractive, it's hard to interpret as innocent.

And the descriptions of Mikleo's titles essentially call him Sorey's soul mate, and then there's the Nip version of the Fairy of love skit.
>>
>>143292802
Yep, you'll be going through the same maps over and over again. There are a couple new areas/dungeons but they are far and few and you'll have to go through a couple of them a few times as well.

No one really gets much screentime outside of their episodes and occasionally in other characters episodes, but in my opinion Elize is probably the only Xillia 1 character I liked better in the first game.
>>
>>143292806
I haven't played the english version so I wouldn't know what they did.

>Sorey's soul mate

Okay, where's the romance? "Most important person", "Soulmate", none of these things exclusively mean romance.

I don't think the part where Sorey finds Mikleo isn't "innocent", it was more like he was put on the spot and was forced to say something, so he said the first person, his most important person, that came to mind.

In literally any other Tales game I'd give this to you and say they are gay and are gonna go fuck like rabbits, but it's absolutely not the case in Zestiria.
>>
>>143292806
>There are still people who try and say Sorey and Mikleo are a thing despite the fact it would go against the entire theming of Zestiria

I just don't get it. Why do you retards need to inject romance into everything?

Do you all ship Yuri and Estelle too because they have a few moments?
>>
>>143292806
A psychic told me one of my longest friends was more soulmate.

Strangely, I don't feel the urge to go ahead and fuck him.
>>
>There are still people RIGHT now that think Sorey has any sort of sexuality or romantic feelings towards anyone

Nigga's whole thing is how pure he is. Fuck, the entire theme of the game is about how fucking pure he is.

He's a monk for fucks sake, he can fuck Mikleo's thighs as much as he wants but that's as far as that goes.
>>
>>143292802
Loli gets a lot of screen time. I really hated her though until about halfway through the game where she grew on me though.
>>
>>143292958
there's
異体同心
and

and then https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_uZCr1xA7w

Like I said, there is room for either interpretation.
>>
>>143292806
Let me ask you something, do you also think Estelle and Rita are gay? Because their love/romance is just as subtext and guesswork as Sorey/Mikleo, but I've noticed most people who ship Sorey and Mikleo refuse to believe Estelle and Rita were gay.
>>
>>143293126
There is room for either interpretation, sure. I'm just taking into account the entire theme of Sorey's character and the game in general. That's literally why I'm saying in any other game, they'd be gay as fuck. Hell, that's why I'm saying Mikleo is gay as fuck. If you're focusing solely on things like that scene, you could say Sorey is gay as fuck too.

But the moment you look at everything else, that changes.
>>
>>143293126
There's literally nothing "gay" about this, when you consider Sorey's character and upbringing.
>>
>>143293157
Rita and Estelle aren't gay because obviously Estelle was getting wet over Yuri and Flynn. Not to mention there's literally nothing that even comes close to hinting at the two being gay, unlike Sorey and Mikleo.

Who also aren't actually gay, it's just retarded shippers that need to inject romance into everything that force that perception.
>>
>>143293126
We're just gonna have to agree to disagree. Sorey isn't gay as far as I'm concerned. He isn't straight either, as far as I'm concerned. I've had this discussion a million times before, just like I'm sure you have and I still think when taking everything into consideration I can't possibly think of Sorey seeing Mikleo romantically.
>>
>>143293207
I only said that Sorey might have feelings for Mikleo, I never said anything about Sorey actively wanting to fuck him, for which the answer would be a resounding no. This is true for Mikleo as well, there's a lot to suggest he might be in love with Sorey, but there's nothing to suggest that he actively wants to fuck him or anyone else for that matter (it's actually pointed out that he's more pure than Sorey).

Seriously the most lewd thing these two would ever do, would be to hold hands. In summary might the two of them be in love with one another, yes, do they want to have sex with each other, hell no?

Yes. The reviews so far are all positive. Animation quality is incredible (as expected of Ufotable) and how they did the story is great too. OP and ED are very nice.

Only redeemable part in that boring as fuck game.

Might actually work as an anime because at least I don't have to suffer through the shitty gameplay and maybe just maybe they'll let Alisha stay instead of the bait and switch they did in the game.

>>143299675
They're still doing the bizarre bait and switch marketing.
>>
>>143299675
From the reviews, they made the story so much better in the anime now. And said that Alisha is now like a main character
>>
>ufotable

So I'll be extremely interested the first couple of episodes because of the great animation and then drop it by episode 16. Happened literally with every ufotable show I've ever watched, including KnK which I dropped after movie 3.

>>143299780
This is good. Hope they'll manage to fit her in. I couldn't care less about the source material.

>>143299353

Oh, nice to hear that.

>>143299909
The real problem in the game was that they didn't allow her to complete her character arc before exiting the main story. If they had allowed her to do that then there wouldn't be a problem with her leaving.

You all should remember that this anime isn't really just a Zestiria adaption. It's a promotion for Berseria. There's new story too.

Is it really bad? I enjoy tales games in general. Tales of Phantasia was amazing, Tales of Destiny was good, Tales of Eternia I never finished, but it wasn't terrible. Tales of Symphonia was OK. Tales of the Abyss was great except for Luke being a whiny bitch for half the game. I actually borrowed an xbox 360 from someone just to play Vesperia, and that wasn't bad either. I think the only ones I never gave a shit about are the DS ones and Legendia; never played Xilia either.

A pre-show viewer confirmed happens within the first 4 episodes. Do you think this is gay by any chance?
>>143309747
It's the worst Tales game so just watch the anime to see if it's moderately better or simply disregard it and play one of the better Tales games.
>>
>>143309995
Vesperia's problem is that it wanted to be several things at once. The first part of the game is pretty strong, and it seemed like it was going to be about a bunch of outlaws upsetting the government. Then it changed directions part of the way through the game and made it more about an ancient civilization that let the world get destroyed, then became some kind of generic typical tales plot about saving the environment, without really fleshing out the characters that much. I mean most tales games do the whole bait and switch plot thing, but there wasn't even really a big twist when it changed it's focus, it just kinda changed it's focus.

It really didn't help that it kept on forcing in a lot of drama that didn't go anywhere. Such as Yuri being stabbed in the back and falling one hundred feet, only for him to shrug it off and be pretty much fine the next cutscene.
>>
>>143310205

>Drop if anything gay happens.
There's not really any reason to pick up Zestiria if you don't want the gay.

Since they're also trying to tie this story into Berseria in coming for the game's release, I'd imagine they'd be tweaking the game's overall lore at the very least. Which is still just one of many problems.

In my opinion, this game needs an complete redo, not just some half ass changes. For example, making Alisha stay in the party does nothing unless the execution is perfect. She'll need something to do and she'd likely just get owned if she's not a squire. Effectively, Rose does everything she would've done anyway so it's pointless and I can't see them bothering when this entire anime is simply to hype Bears.

The second half just got rid of anything it had going for it in general. I mean, even Symphonia started out pretty cliche at first before it got better after the first quarter. I don't remember if there was even any actual legitimate tension in the last half of Vesperia.

Seriously, you can't say you are a heterossexual male if you wouldn't fuck Mikleo.

He's girlier than girls.

He's the only male character ever in any media that I would legit fuck both in the yaoihole and the boypussy.

You're right, the characters were lack luster, and while there were some good ideas here and there, the game ultimately went with the most terrible ones. Alisha is a character who ultimately didn't fit in the party, and her exit was an inevitability. But opening up the game more I feel that a problem with her is that she shouldn't have been the only guest character, it would have been great to get Sergei for a while.

One of Zestiria's biggest problems is that it didn't try to endear you to the world, it didn't really want the gamer to get too attached to anything, and in fact it pretty much tells you not to.

You shouldn't feel apathy when the MC's grandfather dies.

Agreed on all parts. Sergei would've been great given he even teaches Sorey a skill at some point in the game.

With Alisha in particular, Baba basically stated she was never intended to do anything but 1) be the catalyst that brought Sorey to the human world 2) show how weak he is as a Shepherd since he can't even 'help one girl'. That was it. From that alone, Alisha does not have much function because Rose has everything she has and even more. Anything else would require a complete overhaul.

>You shouldn't feel apathy when the MC's grandfather dies.
Exactly. Hell, even Dezel's death left me more confused than anything else. Since the characters are static, so is their relationships with everyone. I was also mad at how Mikleo's mother died without even knowing Mikleo was there and the complete lack of reaction from the boys.
>>
>>143312261
Sergei temporarily joining also hammers in the point home about Sorey not needing to do everything alone.

With Alisha Baba's entire approach to the character was the problem, instead of making her there to highlight Sorey's weaknesses, they should have allowed her to be her own character. The Maltran storyline for instance should have been apart of Alisha's story, with the climax of it being Alisha getting realization on how she needs to handle things and then to follow through with it. Ultimately pushing her off to be a character that helps you when you need shit.

The story tells you that everyone in Izuchi is Sorey and Mikleo's family, yet the game doens't really allow you to spend enough time with them for you to care. What the story should have done was at least give you some side quests that required you to go home sometimes and visit your grandfather. Therefore making Sorey and Mikleo more approachable and down to Earth as characters. Then after the grandfather dies, give you an animated cutscene of the characters reacting to his death, as well as some time for it to sink in. Maybe even include a skit or two of the characters comforting each other. Ditto for Muse, give Mikleo some time to react to her, hell you can even include a scene with Sorey comforting him. Dezel's character was a mess.

>>143313276
Yup, and it gives you two allies on both sides that would probably aided in the peace treaty much sooner.

Yeah, the Maltran storyline was so messy. We knew nothing about Maltran, her motivation or even reason why she was tainted and still maintained form. She did nothing but to further Alisha's suffering and it's made worst by the fact that Alisha learns.. zero from this. She cries, she feels betrayed and fed up, but then she talks to Sorey and everything's okay again. Why is she defending a country that doesn't like her? She just does.

Agreed. They shoud've gave Mikleo a pre-existing relationship with his mom, something that kept him wondering about her so their reunion would be more heartfelt. Sorey doesn't even ask about his birth parents despite finding out he was premature.

Might as well pick up Tales of Legendia while you're at it then. Go Shiina was the composer for the whole OST on that game instead of just a third of it. I think it must be a curse. All Tales games with Go Shiina attached to them just can't be good.

And in that sense, you also get in Hedealf's way and so make him become more serious about taking you down. Also allowing Lailah being unsure of how to really handle things, since what happened with Michael, show how she really blames herself for what happened.

Yep they should have had the whole thing lead somewhere, ulimately give us a reason to give a shit about the people, one of the most powerful moments of Abyss was when Natalia was revealed to be a fake princess, but the people didn't care and still fought to protect her against armed soldiers. Same thing with Sergei and the corrupted church officials, have that be the moment where he realizes that he has to step up, and even have the Pope be the person who gets to realize that he has to do so.

Even just having a scene of Sorey and Mikleo learning that their circumstances from which they were raised and born are weird and having some morbid interest in where they came from would have done a lot.

Zestiria's problem was that it thought that having a character being pure of heart meant that they didn't need to have earthly values or desires, and so tried to disconnect them from their world as much as possible, but that's never a good idea.

Do you care about the story and characters? Yes, all of them. No, Graces f, Xillia 2 and Hearts R. Those have the most appraised gameplay I've seen. I wouldn't recommend Zest on either accounts because Zaveid, Edna and Mikleo are the most interesting of the bunch while everyone else is "meh" in comparison. It's an incredibly poorly built game for modern times and would have likely been a better fit for early PS3 or late PS2. I hear the PC version is better optimized though.

Xillia 1 is good, but anons will tell you to skip because all the areas are re-used for X2. But you're missing out on how awesome Gaius is in both games and just how absurdly thirsty Jude is for that bombshell vag.

The source material may not have been any good in the storytelling department, but aside from the flashbacks, the story in the anime was even worse. Laughably so.

The fights in the Symphonia OVA were alright. Short and not particularly AMV on youtube worthy, but alright.

I think did a pretty good job in UBW with the animation, definitely not the best I have seen, but pretty good regardless.
>>
>>143339685
Only from a superficial point, as I already mentioned. The fights are not really animated most of the time, but utilize special effects, CGI, panning camera views and motion blur to make it seems like the fights are animated when they are actually mostly stills or simple movements masked by shiny flashes and bursts of light.

Ufotable staff are good at using their budget to make fights looks good and cinematic, but they're never particularly impressive from a technical standpoint. It's still a lot better than fights that are shit from both visual and technical perspectives, but not worth much praise.
>>
>>143339934

>its a sakugafag episode


Just because a studio decides to allocate their time and resources somewhere else doesn't make their end work any less technically impressive than regular animation.

I remember so called 'sakuga fags' shitting on ufotables first showing of Gae Bolg for just being a digital effects showcase but then getting BTFO when ufo releaed the cuts showing it was just their digital effects overlaid on top of Nozomu Abe's usual stuff.

>>143340125
You're missing my point. When I say "technical standpoint", I don't mean quality of animation specifically, but rather choreography, consistency of models and the weight of movement. Ufotable fights look nice on first glance, but they quickly fall apart if you pay attention to the details like how the characters move and how the action flows from beneath the blinding explosions and sparks of impact.

Ufotable fights generally have a specific tempo, according to which they interrupt every few seconds of flashy combat with stills or rather badly drawn movement that's hidden by quickly panning across them or using an low or high diagonally angled camera view to make it hard to immediately tell that they what is shown is actually rather badly drawn. Anything that takes too long is assisted by CG to cut down on costs. This isn't a bad way to make it work, as it's a good way to make things look cool without using too much money and it's admirable how Ufotable staff have mastered this technique, but it all comes off at the seams if you have anything to compare two or look over the same scene a few times to take in the details and I find it hard to care for any of the fights there on because my eyes are constantly drawn to the flaws It'd normally miss in most action scenes because of how they're hidden well enough to fool the average viewer, but not enough to trick anyone who's at least somewhat critical.

Basically, my point is that the fights are nice, but aren't worth writing home about or bringing up as examples of "good" quality fight scenes.

>they make good animation with tricks others than a lot of drawings one after another
>the animation is somehow visually shit at the same time
Why do you people try to even argue this?
If it looks good, it is good. Animation is just an illusion of movement, it can be created in many ways, not just one drawing after another.
And even if you want a lot of drawings, they manage to do it that way sometimes, even if not always, like in https://sakuga.yshi.org/post/show/14738/animated-debris-effects-explosions-fate_series-fat or https://sakuga.yshi.org/post/show/17954/animated-beams-debris-effects-explosions-fate_seri

Sure, it isn't the best of the decade, but it still managed to have far better animation than your average anime.

>>
>>143339934
>>143340696
The work of freelance animators like Nozomu Abe and Tetsuya Takeuchi in Ufotable shows are technically sound, the only difference is that they have an extra layers of digital processing over their works, but that isn't done to hide imperfections. And as far as Ufotable's top in-house animators are concerned, they're fine animators too. I've seen the raw key animations for UBW and the level of detail is fine. If anything, their digital team should ease off the processing to let the viewers see more of the key animation instead of obscuring them with motion blur and CG.

Nozomu Abe is freelance. You can see similar work in Accel World and Wizard Barristers, both of which he was heavily involved with as action animator. His depiction of movement isn't realistic, but it can be very snappy and he's a master at effects animation.

>pure heart assassin antic
I think I could have liked Rose more if she was like Malik, Anise, Presea or Leia. That party member who's kind of useful but you don't really need or care about them being in the main party. But to have her shoved down my throat and emphasizing so much on her purity made me grow to dislike her.

I don't think she's a bad character, but having every cutscene she's in with her whole antic being the focus is tiring.

ToZ is a love letter from Baba(rian) to his love Rose('s voice actor).

-Rose's height = VA's height

-VA's favorite movie : Detective Conan - Assassin in the Eyes - (<- rough title translation)
-Alisha's DLC title: What Shows in the Eyes
-...Which turned out to be Rose, an assassin

-VA's motto: I am me
Rose's true name: Rose is Rose

-VA's favorite type of guy: A serious person with a rich heart
-Famitsu interview, Baba: "The theme of this time's story is the "richness of the heart" that everyone should have"

-Baba is called "Prince" by his surroundings
-Conan the Barbarian (Eiyuu Conan) -> Prince Conan (Eiyuu is Baba's first name, different pronunciation)
Rose's fiancee was Prince Conan

Essentially Nips found out from the official guidebook that Rose's character really doesn't make any sense, and her story contradicts itself. For instance the timeline reveals that she's only been around Dezel for 5 years at best, in other words her having as a high a resonance as Sorey makes no sense. She was essentially working for mercenaries learning how to kill for hire so there's not much of a difference between the the mercenary group and the assassin group.
They point out how she did the same shit as Zaveid but was never called out on it. She's rude, amongst other things.

There are also some game play complaints about her.

>>143344371
Also there are a lot of complaints about the story itself, they feel that it's flimsy, especially how the whole hellions shit was dealt with, they felt that peace was achieved through a common enemy and not through hard work, the story won't let you get personally involved with anything important, the map is shit, they wanted to find out more about Mikleo, more should have been done with Zaveid and Dezel, Lailah needed some back story, etc there are complaints for every character but essentially they're saying that the world felt half-assed.

She was like a little sister at best. inb4 incest. Judith was the only girl to give off some tension with Yuri. Everyone else just wanted to be around him because he was just that likable.

If there's no sensible reason for romance that integrates itself into the plot, it shouldn't be there lest it come off as hamfisted like Luke and Tear. Asch and Natalia was at least plot integral.

Also unless you've been living under a rock you'd know that the Bamco doesn't give a shit about YurixJudith, besides Judith isn't Yuri's type according to the official books.

>>143346483
Fan ships and merchandise pandering isn't canon. Graces f aside.
>>
>>143346668
Official books are just that official books that serve as a canon supplement for the game, written by the creators and contains back story and more explanations for the game proper.

Also Grace's isn't the only Tales to have canon supplemental material, Abyss and Vesperia say, Hi.
>>
>>143346201
Estelle obviously had a crush for Flynn at the beginning of the game, which then turned into a crush for Yuri.
Ýuri and Judith were a cool duo, but I never felt that the both had any kind of romantic relationship.
Anyway, what Vesperia does the best is friendship and not romance. The Vesperia guild and company always was a good group and it felt better iun my opinion that romance wasn't shoehorned into the plot.
>>
>>143346959
So tell me how Estelle lusted after Yuri. You imply something sexual, so post proof. Also post proof of Rose and Dezel being a romantic pair that isn't fan made.

>>143347131
I like the direction Vesperia went. Besides, romance is usually extremely poorly written.
>>
>>143347262
I think romance can be done right when you put thought into it, which I don't think it's the case of most Tales.
Also, we already got our share of Tales of games where romance is the main plot: Symphonia, Rebirth, Destiny 2 and maybe some others.
>>
>>143347262
I didn't say anything about Estelle, I'm not>>143347131. What I said was that Yuri was revealed to have a type and it isn't Judith.

My reaction to Luke and Tear was more along the lines of "Oh wait there needs to be a romantic subplot because JRPGs. Let's just shove the main guy/girl together."

That's what it felt like. Especially given Luke's mental state and just how much he didn't care about Natalia.

>>143347423
That's creepy. Dezel saw her since she was a child
>>
>>143347574
I don't really remember much about that. But I'm pretty sure you can't just outright say they had sex just because a scene occurs in one place and then the game leaves you in another, even more in a japanese game.
Also, Estelle despite being very naive, she's very responsible. Even if she did want to stay with Yuri she wouldn't because she knows she has responsibilities as royalty. And you can see that since in the credits you can see her working while Rita visits her with the crazy gadgets she makes.
>>
>>143347689
The moment they revealed Luke's real age and then he was brow beaten to the point where he lost his sense of self worth, it felt as though Luke was too damaged to be in a relationship with anyone really. That and the relationship added nothing to the characters or story.

Lantis dictates what music gets used here. For stuff like KnK and Fate it's Sony Music Entertainment. It's not really about finding a good fit but whoever they want to push at a given time.

>>Points out how bullshit Rose's character is
Of all the complaints about Zestiria, you went and complained about the thing that makes the most sense.

The world doesn't have a fucking moral spectrum. There's no clearly defined black and white, never will be. The way corruption works is internal. If you feel guilt or you're unsure about your actions (and feel you're doing something bad) but continue doing it anyway, you'll get corrupted.

The thing about Rose is yeah she kills people, but she feels justified and thinks she's always doing the right decision. In that way, she's not corrupted at all.

They did this exact same thing with one of the villains, too. I forgot the name because the game's kinda shit.

Not really, there are a lot of het couples Luke that as well, especially when both parties are of two different races. It's just fallen out of style recently.

No there's people arguing the latter as well, because they automatically associate sex with romance.
>>
>>143351921
Thing is though that makes no sense from a gamer perspective especially when they get on Zaveid's case for doing the same thing, it's hypocritical.

Also it makes her appear like a sociopath.

*like
>>
>>143352372
Nobody said what she was doing was okay. They only resort to killing when there's absolutely no choice.
Zaveid doesn't have a shepherd's power so he just decided to kill whatever he could instead of purifying it. Also he was initially an asshole, so their anger was justified.
And yeah, Rose was pretty much a sociopath, but would you rather she turn into a hellion, get purified, and cry and everyone hugs her having a cliche "you can be a better person!" scene? I'm glad they handled her the way she did.
Before Rose joined the party was so fucking boring and serious all the time. Rose and Zaveid were necessary to keep everyone from imploding on angst and worry.
>>
>>143352233
>No there's people arguing the latter as well, because they automatically associate sex with romance
Fair enough.

Bottom line is that Sorey/Mikleo definitely is not a sexual relationship, but it's not hard to see romance implications given various skits the game throws at you. The DLC skit with Zaveid is a big hint.
>>
>>143352595
Anon they never say she's wrong for doing it and essentially sweep it under the rug, going so far as to even imply that Sorey is wrong for not trusting them.

Yes, because threatening you constantly is much better, and attempting to kill you is better than being a straight up asshole.
>>
>>143352631

The amount of Nips that portray Mikleo as a hermaphrodite is staggering.
>>
>>143356336
Ukes are always portrayed in the girliest manner possible. Literally draw a girl, call it a boy.
>>
>>143356287
This makes no sense.

>Yuri was revealed to have a type and it isn't Judith.
Yuri and Judith make such a perfect pair. Even their symbols (wolf and moon) go together flawlessly.
I'm just going to continue believing Yuri's howling at his beautiful moon forever.
>>
I'll watch it but I don't have high hopes.
>>
>>143357434
Not really, Judith is really just a female Yuri, hence why people aren't so keen on them being together.
>>
>>143356470
But Mikleo is already prettier than your entire female cast so the only thing they change is his body.

It's fan art. Can't really do much about it.
>>
>>143358587
I don't have a problem with it, just thought it was funny since even Yuri's design is altered when they do it. But not Mikleo.

Yuri's art ranges between lean and muscular to pretty much a girl.

Yuri, huh?

I could never bring myself to play this game, so sure.

First Tales I ever skipped. And I beat Tempest.
>>
>>143359798
>And I beat Tempest.
Why though.
>>
>>143359812

it had just come out at the time and I play all the games at their japanese release.

Zestiria was the first I skipped.
>>
>>143359502
Reminds me they finally made a drama cd where Yuri cross dresses, the audience falls for him and Flynn doesn't recognize him, despite spending the entire day with him.
>>
>>143360338

I don't know how. Kosuke Toriumi has a really distinct voice.
>>
>>143348421
SJWs win again.

It's the lyrics, They can't allow a song with the lyrics "I WANNA BE WHITE RIGHT NOW" spoken in engrish to be released in America
>>
>>143360409
Apparently Yuri was pretty to the point of distraction. No one who didn't see him change recognized him.

Watching for best girl.
Impressions of the first 4 episodes they showed to nips were also good.
>>
>>143362431
Only fans were going to the preview event, of course they'll eat any Tales shit up.
>>
>>143362485
I think it's a good sign since some people were skeptical and ended up enjoying it. Jp wouldn't be above giving criticism, at least anonymously.
>>
>>143362485
Even Nip Talesfags have been very critical of Zestiria, there's a lot about the game that they don't like, and it's not just Rose.
>>
>>143360426
Fuck them, the song title is white light. It has nothing do to with races.
>>
>>143363195
Yes anon that is correct, but how many soccer mom and westerners will see it that way?
>>
>>143363315
Reality comes from people's perspectives, even more so in the last decades.
It's especially true in Zestiria, since people can be freely malivolent if they're okay with it (Symonne, Dezel, Rose etc.)
>>
>>143360426
Was that really the reason? Did they ever say why?

I remember Hearts had a nice OP that was replaced by some of the most generic instrumental music.
>>
>>143363171
I think the only thing the nip fans like is SoreyxMikleo. Everything else is divisive
>>
>>143363564
Sometimes it's just because they just can't get the rights for it.
>>
>>143363671
Universally, yes, Sorey and Mikleo is the most liked thing about Zestiria, in fact they wish that Sorey and Mikleo relationship received more focus and should have had more of an effect on their characterization and development, especially after the shit that was released in the official guide book.

Maybe that's why the novel and manga focuses more on their relationship.
>>
>>143363843
They also seems to universally dislike Rose or at least the way she was implemented and Baba's waifufagging.
>>
>>143363843
Pretty sure the ending of the novel did mention Mikleo making an appearance or showing Rose's grave.
The final illustration even had Rose from the final battle, proclaiming to protect Sorey and Mikleo, before Sorey bid goodbye.

So no, the novel have less than the game, and Rose is as prominent in the manga.

Nope the novel ends the same as the game, with Mikleo visiting the ruins and meeting Sorey at the end. Several scenes that they share together also take place from their perspectives as well.

The manga extends the time where they're separated and armitize even including a flashback.

/a/ is too gay for Mikleo, and too attached with that useless princess.

Fuck off Baba.

With Mikleo around, the other girls are pretty much pointless.
