Nothing wrong with having a romantic subplot (aka, not having a completely naive and neutered mc).

>>146410728
Tales romance is never good in the first place though. They are clearly not capable so I'm glad they stopped trying.

>>146410225
Why does she wear a umbrella?

>>146410916
Did you play the game? She gave her reason there.

She's an Earth Seraph so she does a lot of heavy lifting so she needs something light when defending herself.

>>146410077
Reminder that /v/ scum just made the thread so that they could talk about Berseria.

I'm liking the changes the anime made so far. Splitting the group to cover more stuff at the same time instead of one at the time was a good move. The added flashback scenes were cute and of course using the trial's and Zaveid's theme was great.

Eizen best boy.

Tales romances are terrible anyway so nothing of value was lost.

>>146411157
It seems as though they figured out something that they never practiced in the game itself. How to make you give a shit about the characters.

>Splitting the group to cover more stuff
What's funny is that it hasn't worked out. They could have given Alisha more relevance using that technique but she's pretty well forgotten by now. I know they'll meet up with her for the bridge but they could have easily added a scene in this episode with her to set that up.

>>146411499
They did exactly that at the end. If it was somewhere else during the episode it would have been out of place. Don't let your hate blind you.

Because she's an adorable loli and can get away with it by making it look cute. Also, it's common knowledge that umbrellas are the weapon of choice for certificated badasses.

To be fair, Tales of never were very romantic (well most of them not at less) they always put more effort into making things overly complicated and giving as much bittersweet as possible.

That's why I never liked too much this series, it just never is "lived happyly forever after" there is always some bullshit

Seraph use the opposing element as their catalyst. Edna uses a water catalyst, Dezel and Zaveid use an earth catlyst(the pendulums), Lailah uses a wind catalyst(cards), Mikleo uses a staff because he didn't know he was supposed to use a fire catalyst.

The Vesperia movie was excellent and the Zestria anime is far better than the game.

For the first time in my life, I experienced fucking dungeons music SO GOOD I didn't want to leave the dungeons.

The OST is that good.

Here have some orchestrated medley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7uxxyGR-z4

>>146410225
Top tier imouto.
God tier eternal loli.
Best girl.

>>146413480
I played the game but didn't watch the anime. And as someone who doesn't care for homo pairings, Lloyd had more chemistry with every other party member. I didn't even dislike Colette, it just seemed like she was too much of a child compared to everyone else. Even more than Lloyd.

>>146413798
And the anime still manages to make me give a shit about the characters where the game couldn't.

>>146413989

Best seraph got the worst dungeon. Damn shame.

>>146414149
The wind temple was absolutely boring. Large empty spaces with easy puzzles? Put me right to sleep.

All in all it's a good thing if they skip the trials.

>>146414246

Also, if you were a completionist and wanted all the chests, the dungeon ended up being like 10 hours long.

Man, the anime has been great and almost makes me want to finish the game. Just save Eizen. He's best boy.

>>146414359
>Large empty spaces with easy puzzles?
>Large empty spaces

I don't think we're thinking of the same wind temple. The wind temple in Zestiria was an ascending tower, which each floor segmented by short hallways worth of monsters and elevator puzzles. The most open areas were the first floor and the top floor, in which absolutely nothing happens.

>>146414605

Yeah. To me it looked like a concrete tower that they built and forgot to decorate or something. The Water and Fire trials weren't stellar examples of level design either but at least they had some life to them. The Wind trial looked like they wanted to be lazy or ran out of time; either way it was a lifeless grey shaft with some roaming monsters and a lot of spinny mist-things.

I didn't think the wind temple was so bad. Tedious as fuck but the water temple was by far the worst shit I've had to sit through in a Tales game. Second worst would be shadow temple in Symphonia.

>>146414359
As long as they use the trial music whenever the Seraphim of the corrisponding element does something cool, like they did when introducing Edna.

Oh god. What's it like?

>>146416679
So there are these objects throughout the dungeon that you have to turn on/off that unlock/lock doors in the dungeon. And you have to turn some of them on and the others kept off to unlock the final door so you just do a whole lot of running around trying to figure out which object needs to be left on or off. The ex dungeon is just full of timers and stupid enemies.

>>146418497
She doesn't interfere with their ships so they do, same with Rita. Alicia and Rose are the ones they hate.

>>146418555
From what I've seen fujos don't give enough of a shit about either Rose or Alisha to even bring themselves to hate either girl. They tend to be the ones that sit back and laugh at Rose and Alishafags. If any anyone who seriously ships Sorey with a female show up they usually just BTFO them with one or two game screenshots.

I'm shipping mc x all the females. So it's a harem

>>146419417

I don't think I'm even half way through Berseria yet, but I assume his whole Shinigami curse shtick was probably why he left her, so she didn't get involved in whatever mess that happens when he's around.

Anyway, time to bolt before I get spoilered to hell and back.

>>146419514
Two words anon Haruno Sakura.

Hell you'd know of several more if you follow more than one series.

>>146411157
I'm almost wondering if Eizen might make it out of this alive like Mason. As I recollect, Edna was in complete denial in the game about him not being savable. Eizen was also completely unable to recognize her anymore. Seems like those things have changed. The resolution of that subplot was also pretty terrible. Doubly so in that if they'd just waited after Heldalf, they could have shot him with Zaveid's gun and it'd have probably been okay. Sure, they didn't know at the time, but it fell flat in retrospect.

>>146419557
Don't worry anon I won't spoil it for you. It's nice just to talk about how best boy Eizen is. Is he gap moe?
>looks tough and edgy
>is super redpilled about women, probably because of Zavied's hijinks
>is actually a huge nerd who gets sad when Eleanor steals his info dump role

>>146418555
>Alicia and Rose are the ones they hate.

Who? Also fujos don't give a shit about either, or they embrace them both and ship them because the game does too.

Why would any fujo feel threatened about any girl in this game? They know the fucking ending. Only secondaries seem to think Zestiria is some harem competition where Mikleo is truly 'threatened' by grills.

Nope. Nothing is immune to shitflinging arguments built entirely out of bullshit. They're just disguising their shipwars and waifu/husbando wars up in the latest trendy terminology.

They probably had to drop the subplot because of a certain person's meddling.

Or, of course, the next time they confront him (or last time if it'll happen more than once), he completely doesn't recognize her anymore. And then they kill him.

I would kill for an adaption of Berseria after Zestiria. I knew I was going to like Eizen, but he's far more likable than I imagined. The rest of the cast, too.

Sasuga earth seraph siblings.

>>146419732
Possibly. It certainly felt unfinished, but so many jrpgs anymore feel like they ran out of budget 2/3rds of the way through. I can barely even remember the last time I played a JRPG and felt it was complete.

>>146419853
It's not impossible, and certainly would be more like source. However, the changes they've made so far would make it even worse than in the game (presuming that part proceeds as it has in the past). They seem willing to change things up significantly, so I'm hopeful it'll at least end up better than it did.

>>146419972
Imo I think that Berseria would've made for a much better anime than Zestiria. The party just has much better chemistry and the plot is more compelling since Japan loves its revenge plots.

>>146419972
>>146420039

Well, UFOtable have set the seeds with the adaption of the start of Berseria. Everyone involved with the project will realise that those two episodes were the best received.

It could definately happen

>>146420039
Berseria can still get a anime if the characters get even remotely popular

>>146420038
A lot of things in Zestiria felt either unfinished or tacked on.

>>146420039
Same. Homo pairing is nice, but Berseria is way better than Zestiria in everything.

>Wanting romance in everything ever.
You people who want this are so fucking annoying.

>>146420096
Actually those two episodes were received the worst of all the Zestiria the X episodes thus far.

Do Rosefags even visit these threads anymore? I mean the ones that aren't falseflaggers. I feel like the constant bashing from every direction put Lailahfags and Rosefags out of commission because antis are pretty much just talking amongst themselves about how much they hate her/Zestiria.

Real Rose-fags? I doubt it. I mean they just post things that they would generate "Go home, Baba-like" responses. I believe is just the usual fishing for replies.

>>146421655
Yup. Her entire character is a self insert for her VA whom Baba was trying to seduce.

>>146421655
Wasn't it because she was getting dicked by Dezel for years so she was loose enough to take them all at once?

>>146421655
Hm? Much like Sorey, she spent a lot of time with a Seraph (even though she was unaware of Dezel) and even got possessed by him sometimes, so eventually she grew used to his presence.

Stop trying to start shit, hater.

>>146420975
Fujo, pls.

>>146421793
Baba shouldn't you be workin on job applications?

>>146421530
They show up from time to time, but from reveal episode 3 of her following Bartlow (an obvious villain) and the release of Berseria (which really did shit on her personality) as other weaknesses of the character that people pointed out has pretty much turned /a/ against her.

Lailahfags hate came from frustration of the character in the game itself and the reveal from Berseria that she's really shit at her job. But the anime has only worked to lessen it by improving on the character.

>>146421655
Dezel dicked her enough she got magic powers. The whole suppressing it part that come completely out of left field made it seem super forced.

>>146421655
Pretty much, Rose is a bullshit character incarnate.

>>146421793
>Hm? Much like Sorey, she spent a lot of time with a Seraph (even though she was unaware of Dezel) and even got possessed by him sometimes, so eventually she grew used to his presence.
Actually according to the backstory she hasn't been around them for very long.

>>146421530
You nailed it. Rosefags don't really post, only her haters do. They seem unable to talk about anything else but how much they hate her. They're completely obsessed with her, more than the actual Rosefags.

Not defending Rose, but it wasn't the worst excuse for something in game by far. Zaveid being able to use wind trial power by just plugging in like a swapped light bulb was the worst. It always seemed clear to me that Rose was the weaker of the two and depended entirely on Sorey's power to do what she could.

For mechanics reasons it was not really feasible to show it in battle, because if you had a weaker armatized Rose or a Rose that didn't armatize it would have been hard as hell to balance battles with Sorey's armatization. As a case in point, Alisha is extremely painful to play when she's in the party with Sorey unless you really power level her and get her just the right skills, and she has a lot of boosts to make her compete. Like Vanisch on a weapon, a really good DLC title, and so on.

>>146410077
Is this yaoi?

>>146421978
Anon, Rosefags used to post here a lot, in fact they had a terrible habit of shitting up the threads anytime that anyone said anything negative about her. Their habit of doing so probably made people lose their patience with the character.

It doesn't help matters that she's a cause of many problems in the game's story.

>>146422063
No, this is /a/. Since you can't appreciate Edna's femininity, I presume you are seriously interested in yaoi and just hit the wrong thread.

>>146422045
Someone likes something you don't? Better go on a mindless rant we all have heard countless of times, that surely will help. No, you can't possibly leave him alone and continue to talk about the things you like, no no no, that can't happen, not on your watch. You MUST tell him for the 100th time how much you dislike her.

They could have easily just fixed it by utilizing it for Sorey the same way they did Ludger did his own special mechanic in Xillia 2.

They really are and the quality of the threads have taken a fucking nose dive because it happens every thread. I don't particularly care for Rose but anti-Rosefags are annoying cunts who repeat the same shit and think it will ever change the reality of Zestiria.

Instead of complaining more like them though, I'll just dodge these garbage threads from now on.

>>146422174
>people point out legit reasons as to why Rose fucked up the game
>noooooo you just hate her!!! Rose is perfect!!!
You illustrate my example perfectly. Most people are trying to have a decent conversation but then Rosefags come in and ruin the thread.

>>146421793
It's more believable for Sorey, growing up in a village of seraphs being able to see and hear them, while being taught to be pure of heart

than Rose who is just pure of heart for whatever fucking reason, with only one seraph around her sometimes

>>146422174

Baba pls

>>146422322
I suppose, but I couldn't really get behind that mechanic. It seemed kind of jarring compared to the normal battle.

>>146422395
I don't think you really have to be pure of heart. I think it's more like getting irradiated by constant seraph contact.

>>146419853
Eizen would approve. Murder dragons don't protect them.

Zaveid and Laphicet got taught this by him when he murders one in Berseria.

>>146422326
>But we just established that nobody actually does this if they're fishing for (Yous)
They used to and if you think that the threads are bad now, then you've never been around when Rosefags, you literally couldn't say anything negative about the character without them getting upset and attacking you. In fact your reaction about people pointing out Rose's problems as a character is similar to them.

>>146422366
I never once stated my opinion about Rose nor did I tell you you're wrong.

Not that anon but you're getting awfully upset about the fact that people don't like Rose, which is in and of itself stating an opinion.

>>146422606
It's not really about Rose but about repeating the same thing over and over shitting up the thread when you could just ignore the guy and move on.

>>146420230
Yet the game seems to be picking up on sells and receiving good reviews because of people liking the story, characters, and combat.Along, with recommendations from people who completed it to go buy it even from people who was still bitter about the Zestiria incident, but gave the game a chance and actually like the game.

>>146422499
I think they were actually close to finding a solution to purifying dragons in Berseria, but then they couldn't go through with it because of Zestiria.

>>146422606
Nah, that anon was upset at the obnoxious behavior of anti Rosefags consistently and obsessively bring her up at every turn even in episodes she is not remotely related to.

But it's whatever, you clearly will not agree with this.

>>146422558
So, putting aside all the Baba stuff, how angry would this have made people if Zestiria followed Berseria in publication?

Rose was a mistake for the game becoming shit and ruining friendships.

just finished berseria ayy lmoa

nips sure do have an obsession with the xillia 2 ending, it's a shame they can't just have a happy ending like graces/vesperia for once again.

>>146422493
>I suppose, but I couldn't really get behind that mechanic. It seemed kind of jarring compared to the normal battle.
I think that as a unique mechanic for Sorey it works because it's not forced on you. However it's when they gave it Rose and forced an the game mechanics to revolve that it became a problem.

>>146422697
I'm pissed off since you remember that there's really no happy ending for most of the characters in Berseria because of Zestiria. This episode really hit me in the feels because Eizen was a real bro in Berseria. I really hope they find a way to save him.

>>146422656
That's how most threads on /a/ work though, they're giant circlejerks.

>>146422493
>irradiated by constant seraph contact
you're telling that rose has a resonance high enough to armatize like the shepard because of ONE seraph being around her? one of which she couldn't even see or sense until becoming a squire

they said that being someone of pure heart like sorey is worth of becoming the shepard and the power that comes with it because a pure heart = high resonance
rose is not pure no matter what the game says and therefore should not have any resonance

There are seraphim in Lastonbell for example, if they give off resonance, why isn't everyone able to be pure of heart like rose? oh yeah to ignore the plot and shoehorn her into the story

>>146422697
absolutely 10/10 mad

the combat in berseria is miles better

the hiougis are miles better

the characters are miles better

there's so much more stuff to do in berseria, the game took me like 55 hours to complete, whereas zestiria was around 25-30

the story was better, although the storywriters tried as hard as they could because fuck zestiria writing

>>146422845
Until the /a/ majority circlejerk gets BTFO by canon like with Bleach. Then /a/ doesn't like to talk shit anymore.

>>146422694
Actually I'd have to say that white knights that are obnoxious ones. People are going to like or dislike whatever they want. And if something is a glaring problem then they're going to talk about it. If you don't like the fact that they're talking about it, then you can simply ignore it. But saying that people shouldn't talk about something because you don't want them to is both stupid and obnoxious. And more shows your over-inflated ego than anything else.

>>146422985
It must've felt great to not have your hard work ruined by upper management. I imagine grudges helped drive most of the staff to work hard.

>>146422985
>the story was better, although the storywriters tried as hard as they could because fuck zestiria writing
It's literally the same staff.

>>146423065
>If you don't like the fact that they're talking about it, then you can simply ignore it.
Not when it becomes the clusterfuck of the entire thread.

Additionally, nobody said anything about not being entitled to post the shit you like or dislike. Only that it was annoying as fuck. Hence why I can just purely take the decision and ditch it altogether instead of complaining about it and hoping people would stop (kek).

>>146423065
This. I don't really care about Rose, but it's undeniable that she was the main reason why Zestiria was a shitshow. You can't really avoid touching on the subject if you want to discuss the game/anime. Like what the other anon said, you should take your own advice and ignore the Rose banter if it annoys you so much.

Leaving plot and Baba's bullshit aside, I like Rose.

There's just something cute about genki tomboys like her, and her hair is great.

>>146423124
I know, like holy fuck man the combat system is loads better than zestiria. The character interactions are really good, especially with magilou, or eizan/rokurou arguing about stupid shit. The only thing that was the constant obsession about apples

But man, zestiria really did ruin the plot by setting some restrictions of sorts for berseria

>>146423218
Yeah but having a prequel means you have to write with the conditions of having events impact the present, or adhering to the already made worlds rules. There's just a bunch of stupid plot things that are a bit annoying, like the corruption part where they turn into the monsters. I got most of the main story plotline, and just seeing how its kind of forced into the ending that berseria got is kinda shitty.

There's just so many stupid things that zestiria set up that berseria kinda had to follow, although that's just what I think. some people might like how berseria ended but idk I just wanted a happy end

On the bright side Velvet gets all the cool moves for her moveset, and she's on Ludger/Yuri level of chaining abilities. I really like how they gave you the freedom to use artes however you wanted

>>146423224
Then you have a choice to simply not go on the thread, or give them something else to talk about. I don't particularly care for Berseria discussion but I never go on the thread and tell other anon that they shouldn't talk about it because I don't like it.

>Additionally, nobody said anything about not being entitled to post the shit you like or dislike.
The simple fact that you are complaining about what people are posting shows that you are entitled, and that makes you more obnoxious than anyone else in this thread.

>>146422872
As I recollect, the Lastonbell seraph, like most, did not really interact with people very much. The one little girl she did interact with could see seraphim, to her eventual detriment. In comparison with large cities that had perhaps one seraph, Sorey lived in a very tiny village surrounded by them, some in very close proximity and also went through the whole Camlann incident. Rose did not have that many, but Dezel was explicitly hollowing her out to make her a vessel for him. I presume he knew what he was doing.

Conversely, we see a lot of pure people who can't see seraphim. Alisha and Sergei certainly should have deserved to see them if pure of heart was the requirement. On the other hand, we have really evil people who do not become hellions. I don't think being pure of heart is really born out as a cause for seeing seraphim or not.

Happy ends with everything perfect are retarded. Not to mention revenge stories should never end happily ever after.

Berseria's ending was great.

And Malevolence really is just negative emotions. That's all it is. Simple and clean. That why taking away emotions and turned everyone into slave drones = no malevolence.

Is it just me, or there's something really odd with Zestiria's introductions?

Edna kinda appears out of nowhere and then joins.
Alisha leaves the party but its treated as something not relevant and the party doesn't seem to mind that much.
Dezel is always with Rose, yet once she sees him, she doesn't really say shit. Never wonders why he seems so fixated on her or anything.

In comparison, the anime introduced Edna a hell lot better, but just what the fuck happened in the game?

Mikleo x Edna is my OTP

>>146423485
Berseria's ending was really the best we could've got. It's bittersweet, but it could've ended on a much darker notes, like Velvet being forced to kill her otouto. Being sealed away together isn't too bad since they're dreaming about being happy together. I'm just pissed that they could've come up with a solution to the dragons but couldn't because of Zestiria.

Yeah but the fact that they made to begin with means that they're the ones who know how to fix it. And they've already changed a lot, since Berseria did change the mechanics of malevolence and which also changed everyone's understanding of Zestiria, which is probably what they wanted to do in the first place.

>>146423722

The game had to have the shit re-written out of it at the last second because of Baba. A lot of things don't make sense because there was no time not money to polish or revise anything.

>>146423636
It's real fucking stupid how the setting has no opposite concept to malevolence.

What a world to live in, where positive emotion does fuck-all and being a sociopath is actually preferable.

>>146423722
The simple answer is that Baba wanted to insert his VA waifu two months before the game's release, so the writers had to scrap a bunch of stuff to make a bare bones storyline. The anime is aiming to fix Zestiria's plot, hence the better introductions.

>>146423815

The idea is stupid anyways. Seraphs don't get to reincarnate so of course there would be other downsides to being an immortal race of NEETs that never have to worry about starvation, old age, or procreating.

And God Dragons can be purified because they're special.

>>146423901
>facts

Try harder Baba.

>>146423824
Well Beseria also treated malevolence as a supernatural element, it also makes it clear that it's really hard to get infected by it normally.

>>146423636
>>146423744
Yeah, I know. It really does suck about the dragons, but I suppose the ending was the best possible outcome.

>>146423796
Yeah, I still think that the plot got fucked though in general because of having to try and expand/adjust the conditions of Zestiria the best they could

But hey, at least the game didn't force you to beat everything by forced armitization or else you get fucked, and the final boss wasn't as big of a meme as zestiria. It was also pretty cool to hear wan piss swordsman

>>146423824
Positive emotions let you reincarnate as a seraph. Just being pure doesn't result in it. Artorius dies and stays dead as a human

>>146423901
>>146423944
Now that you mention it, I always see everyone blaming Baba on Zestiria's shit, but is there any source on this?

I know he's a liar, but who exposed his bullshit?

>>146424002
Just Google 'Baba Zestiria'.

>>146424002

Yeah the wiki breaks it down and presents the evidence a long with testimonies from the VA's and such. Don't have the link handy since it's been months since I last read it.

>>146423974
>Positive emotions let you reincarnate as a seraph
What kind of positive emotions would a baby and an unborn fetus have?

>>146424002
Look in the archive, there are lots of info on this and even links to a translated "timeline" explaining the Zestiria clusterfuck.

>>146424002
The wiki tells a shit ton, and if you just look at the story and how shitty the shoe in with rose is you can really see how much he pushed for Rose. Having Baba off the team for Berseria really helped the game

>>146423964
But in hindsight Berseria effected Zestiria more than Zestiria effected it. It's because of Berseria why the ending of Zestiria and Rose becoming a shepherd is no longer considered a happy ending. And beforehand Sorey who people either didn't like or didn't care about is looked at more positively.

>>146424062
Magic Ritual or did you forget? That's a special case.

>>146424120
Yeah it really showed that Sorey was right all along. Plus it really revealed how much Lailah and Rose was fucking everything up by preventing him from doing what he believed was right.

>>146424120
Pretty much this. Artorious being basically a Rose with too much power pretty much changes the entire feeling of her becoming a Shepherd after Sorey.

>>146424002
http://moamonzu.tumblr.com/post/121798173591/timeline
Tells you all.

>>146424238
It does confirm she won't ever be a Seraph so that works out.

>>146424287
There's always a silver lining in everything.

>>146423578
But this is all one big assumption
An assumption can't explain why things are the way they are in the game

We assume that resonance, being pure of heart, interacting with seraphs all have something to do with each other but it's thrown out the door when it comes to Rose

That's what makes Rose so unbelievable
I don't believe she is more pure of heart than Alisha, Sergei, or any other person
I don't believe she has high resonance on par with the Shepard to be able to armatize just as easily
Rose goes against everything no matter how many compelling assumptions are made

>>146422061
But early on, the plan was to have her own Echo Artes that presumably would've synergized with the seraphs as a unique counterpart to Sorey's armatization, which would've been more interesting for gameplay and avoid the story contrivances.

>>146424359
Yeah like Lailah got her job for looking like onee-san even though Seres sees herself as a diferrent person to Celica.

Just a meme. Can't believe people fall for this crap.

>>146423824
Malevolence is just mistranslated from Kegare, meaning impurity. It's less about negative emotions and more about disharmony in the community. Some of the bravest heroes were hellions, these heroes may have had the best of intentions but fell to the fact that they were going against what the harmonious path was. Hell, just look at Attak and you have a perfect example of the positive emotions leading to disharmony. Minotauros was also a perfect example of the disharmony concept, the kids felt like they had no place in the community and when they died they amalgamated into a hellion. More importantly, look at the priest in Rolance that didn't hellionize due to his belief that he was following the harmonious path. It's far more nuanced than many think, and people aren't seeing that. It's about how separation from the community at large is a disastrous to the very soul.

>>146424406
To be fair, she is a different thing. That's aspect of the Seraph/human relationship is pretty interesting. If there is a new game set in this world I would love an exploration of it.

Armatizing makes way more sense for Sorey but no Rose thanks to Berseria.

>Mooks explode because they can't handle the power of Armatizing.
>Artorius had to release malevolence in order to Armatize with Inominat.

>>146424512
Artorius's made sense since Inominat was a God that fed off of malevolence

>>146424457
I think that the idea would have worked better if you didn't have a character in your party that was a walking contradiction.

>>146424457
How does that make any sense taking Rose into consideration, and doesn't Lailah continually telling Sorey to isolate himself from human affairs go against that idea completely?

>>146424478
Except for Phi and Meebo, seeing as they incarnated before they developed. So they are the real deal by default, making Artorius even more of a dick

>>146424587
Agreed on that point. Rose confused the narrative too damn much.

Lailah was essentially set up as a character that was supposed to be proven wrong but they weren't allowed to do so.

>>146424457
This is the major problem with Rose
She does things she believes to be right but isn't and should turn into a hellion
She doesn't get to decide if her actions are of pure intent or not, the world does
This right destroys everything about Rose's character of being pure of heart and therefore, makes her an absolute contradiction to Zestiria's narritive

>>146424485
There is absolutely no concrete evidence showing what people claim actually happened. All there is are rumors, unrelated stuff like bugs and common production delays.

The Shepherd is a divisive figure, it makes sense for such a divisive figure to not meddle when there is no need. It would only promote disharmony. And Rose was a mess to add to the game anyway and thus fucks shit up regardless of what aspect of the story you talk about.

>>146424611
Yes. Artorious being a the biggest jerk in the universe, so far, is a given.

I still want an exploration of Seraphs like Seres, though. Like a MC with her same issues that has to deal with their "old" life for some reason.

They have no choice but to add Berseria stuff in it. Zestiria literally can't stand on it's own without modifications. Which is kinda sad because the so called hype up culmination of the 20th anniversary of the Tales series is such garbage that it needs to be modify heavily to look good.

>>146425805

>>146425805
Well that's what happens when a game gets heavily modified last minute by a meddling producer. It needs re-modification for it to work. That's what Berseria and and Zestiria the X are.

All in all Zestiria is a prime example of why one person shouldn't be given too much power, especially a producer.

>>146425973
Only if they add Eizen and Laphi as new party members.

>>146425973
you're gonna get a lot of replies about how they need to move on from Zesty and forget it ever happened but i agree with you. an unfucked Zestiria could be so good.

>>146426035
Yet Berseria also has to take the blunt on restoring people faith in the Tales series as well because of Zestiria mistake. Zestiria caused more harmed then good to the fan-base by existing.

>>146425805
They just need to rework the plot somewhat so it feels better and place some rules on the gameplay to prevent forcing Rose and Sorey all the time.

>>146426065
You've got the anime for that.

Although personally I don't really agree, I'm not a fan of the story or setting of Zestiria.

>>146426109
It wasn't really Zestiria that caused the problem but rather Baba and his constant meddling. Remember Berseria is literally made by the same people who made Zestiria only difference is that it was made without any of Baba's influence.

The fact that most of Zestiria's problems can be boiled down to one character that was forcefully added in by Baba says a lot.

>>146426147
Berseria made the setting interesting. But, Zestiria take on it was incredibly boring. If they still intend to use the same setting one more time I want them to do it in a far distant future. They shouldn't have any restriction on what they write like with Berseria because of certain events that happen in Zesteria. After that I want no more of that setting.

>>146426065
I think that the only way to really get people back on board with Zestiria world would be to make the anime radically different from the game.

One thing I think would work would be if they had all of Rose's contradictions hit her head on and had her turn into a hellion. This episode is a step in the right direction and if they continue it then they'll do good.

That's basically mix of everything that's happened in the game, manga and maybe even the novel. The anime probably won't go in the fight direction. In the game and manga, Alisha is Sorey's squire at this point, and Sorey is suffering from it because her resonance is too low. He actually goes blind in one eye and doesn't tell anyone, but Mikleo notices. In the manga, Mikleo punches him by coming at him through his blind spot, essentially proving to Sorey that he's not doing okay at all. In the anime none of that's likely to happen because Alisha isn't Sorey's squire and there's probably not enough time, or a good enough reason for her to become one.

We don't really know if their reunion will have an argument or if it'll be a happy one. I'd guess happy, but if the anime plays out like the game Sorey might not want Mikleo as his sublord for his own safety, which could lead to an argument, but not Mikleo punching him in the face. Either way the episode's going to be pretty homo.

>>146427639
Most probably Sorey would just say "I'm happy you're tagging along Mikleo!" and move on.

I really get the vibes that Mikleo cares about Sorey a lot more than the reverse. We haven't seen Sorey do one nice thing for Mikleo.

>>146427797
It's called a bet anon, you sometimes do that with people you call friends.

>>146427639
In the manga Mikleo is actually Sorey's catalyst for amatization in general. Manga Sorey is very preoccupied with the idea of Mikleo's safety, but at the same time also wasn't fond of the idea of being separated from him. Which is why he's so quick to change his tune when Mikleo comes back.

In the anime Mikleo is already separated from Sorey for a while so he might not be quick to deny him.

>>146427816
I wouldn't say that the moment he found out that Mikleo left without him his first reaction to freak out and try to chase after him.

According to ufotable tweet in order to figure out Sorey's feelings you have to pay close attention to his behavior in episode 7 and the images shown during their separation. From that it's safe to say that he thinks about Mikleo just as much as Mikleo thinks about him.

>>146427816
> I really get the vibes that Mikleo cares about Sorey a lot more than the reverse. We haven't seen Sorey do one nice thing for Mikleo.

Really? I never got this vibe with them. I just see Mikleo more as insecure and worrywart about things that have to do with Sorey and their difference in him being a Seraph and Sorey a Human. To me both look as they care equally about the other.

>>146427816
it'd be pretty weird if the anime completely ignores Sorey's fixation on Mikleo's safety and choice to follow him down the path of the shepherd, but anime Sorey might be so happy to have Mikleo back that the fight might not happen, so i don't know.

i'd disagree about Sorey not caring about Mikleo as much. he just shows it in a different way than Mikleo does. in the other versions he's very concerned with Mikleo's safety. the anime shows them with him being concerned for Mikleo's well being in Ladylake, where the malevolence is high. also, there's that scene when he wakes up and Mikleo's left. i think if it'd been up to Sorey he would have followed Mikleo immediately, but as the shepherd he can't just do what he wants anymore. then there was all that heavy handed moon stuff that was apparently a love declaration in Japanese, so...

Has the Mikleo bullying started? Can't wait for Edna to roast him good.

But the thing is, if Mikleo was in Sorey's position and one morning suddenly Sorey fucked off to god-knows-where, I really don't think that he would be so accepting of the fact that Sorey is doing his own thing, probably endangering himself. I can't see Mikleo not follow after Sorey, whereas the opposite happened so very easily.

Even in the manga/game, I believe Sorey's reason for not wanting to involve Mikleo wasn't so much that he's concerned for his safety but rather because he doesn't want Mikleo to go on a journey for a dream that's not his.

Yeah just overall I get the imbalance in their interactions somehow? Feels like it's a little bit unrequited.

>>146428216

i get what you mean... i really think Sorey probably would have chased after Mikleo, if he hadn't been the shepherd, but Mikleo wouldn't have left in that case, either.

it really does feel unequal, and Mikleo does come across as extremely devoted to Sorey, who doesn't reciprocate to nearly the same degree. but he also doesn't get much of a chance to do so, at least in the game. Sorey's focus is on doing his duty as the shepherd and that's pretty much all he does, with the occasional detour to nerd out about ruins. Mikleo's total focus is supporting Sorey. things might be more equal between them without the shepherd's mantle getting in the way.

>>146428895
Symmone's not even the best 1000 year old loli in her own game. why play for her instead of Edna?

but really, don't play the game for her, she's barely in it and the parts she is in are kind of bad.

>>146428781
I'm sorry anon, but I really disagree with you here.

>But the thing is, if Mikleo was in Sorey's position and one morning suddenly Sorey fucked off to god-knows-where, I really don't think that he would be so accepting of the fact that Sorey is doing his own thing, probably endangering himself. I can't see Mikleo not follow after Sorey, whereas the opposite happened so very easily.
Sorey was about to do the same exact thing as we saw and he panicked overall, but he decided to trust Mikleo and believe he will come back. He said so himself, that there is a big reason for Mikleo to leave him like that and Sorey trusts him with whatever that is. Also, as the other anon said, Sorey is a Shepherd, he also has other responsibilities to attend to. I really didn't see Sorey leave it so easily.

Maybe you are confusing obsession over rolyalty and trust? You don't need to be and think 24/7 over someone else. They think they most of the other but they are not obessed and they don't have to at the end of the day. This is not their relationship.

>Even in the manga/game, I believe Sorey's reason for not wanting to involve Mikleo wasn't so much that he's concerned for his safety but rather because he doesn't want Mikleo to go on a journey for a dream that's not his.
Not for me. It was clearly because Sorey was concerned. And you make it sound like Sorey is a big egocentric who thinks of Mikleo as a standard in his life and when Mikleo doesn't do as he wants to, then he gets angry. It's more a thing of clush of ideals and worry at the end rather than Sorey thinking like that.

>Yeah just overall I get the imbalance in their interactions somehow? Feels like it's a little bit unrequited.
Each to their own, I guess. Sure they have their problems but they grew up together and build trust, royalty, bonds, friendship, love etc. They express it in a different way and that's why because they are different personalities.

>>146428781
He would have accepted it just like Sorey accepted Mikleo's decision. Something to remember is that the two of them are on the same wavelength. Hell if Mikleo was really going to have a problem with Sorey heading into dangerous situations then he would be against the very notion of Sorey becoming a shepherd, but he isn't. Also Mikleo taking the initiative and not even bothering to argue with Sorey on the subject shows Sorey just how serious Mikleo is about it

In the manga it's actually a combination of Sorey wanting to protect Mikleo and also wanting Mikleo to be free to do as he pleases. In both however, Mikleo goes to Lailah first in front of Sorey and asks to become a sub lord and Sorey is allowed to deny Mikleo. However anime Mikleo never even gave Sorey any time to deny him.

They're pretty balanced overall, it's not like the manga/game because Sorey's reactions is being understanding and accepting of Mikleo's wishes.

>I suppose that's going to make it seem like Sorey doesn't care at all, though. He's taking all but giving nothing in this relationship with Mikleo. Poor Meebo.
Just the opposite, Sorey normally would be against Mikleo fighting at all. But he's also a bit selfish when it comes to Mikleo's attentions. It's strange but Mikleo really is the only person that Sorey expresses any level of selfishness towards. Sorey likes to be around Mikleo, he wants to be around Mikleo that's why after Mikleo separates from him after Sorey denies him, Sorey is so willing to listen to Mikleo.

>>146429212
>Sorey was about to do the same exact thing as we saw and he panicked overall, but he decided to trust Mikleo and believe he will come back.

Also, as the other anon said, Sorey is a Shepherd, he also has other responsibilities to attend to. I really didn't see Sorey leave it so easily.
This, Sorey's freak out and the water falling on his cloak forcing Sorey to calm down was pretty much just they're to imply that he did want to go chase after Mikleo bit couldn't because he was the Shepherd. He was forced to look at the situation pragmatically and accept Mikleo's decision.

>>146429212
>And you make it sound like Sorey is a big egocentric who thinks of Mikleo as a standard in his life and when Mikleo doesn't do as he wants to, then he gets angry.
Isn't he kind of like that though? He demands Mikleo to make desserts for him, feed him, in return what does Meebo get? Even during the opening of the OVA / anime when we first see them, seems like Sorey is always one step ahead deciding where they should be going and Mikleo is just dutifully following him 3 steps behind. If Sorey were the one left behind while Mikleo sleeps for eternity, I don't doubt that he wouldn't have been as loyal as Mikleo waiting for his return.

>>146429276
>But he's also a bit selfish when it comes to Mikleo's attentions. It's strange but Mikleo really is the only person that Sorey expresses any level of selfishness towards. Sorey likes to be around Mikleo, he wants to be around Mikleo
I'm curious as to where you get the idea that Sorey craves for Mikleo's attention. He seemed pretty okay with leaving him behind in Izuchi, having Mikleo tag along with him seemed more like a nice bonus to him instead of a necessity. When he temporarily couldn't see Seraphs too - he didn't seem too conflicted about it whereas we know from Edna that Mikleo looked like he was about to cry.

To be honest their dynamics are more like, "Sorey lives life however he wants while taking Mikleo for granted."

Edna isn't really much of a loli. I get that numerical age doesn't stop someone from being a loli, but it's evident from her swimsuit costume that she has a post-pubescent body. She doesn't have a childish personality either.

She comes across as an unfortunately short and flat teenager to me. If she weren't a seraph and I had to guess her age from her appearance and behaviour I'd say somewhere around 15-19.

>>146429586
>Isn't he kind of like that though? He demands Mikleo to make desserts for him, feed him, in return what does Meebo get?
No? He doesn't demand shit. Mikleo does it because he wants to and he knows Sorey likes it. If Sorey asks for them it's not because he is demanding and egocentric but because he genuily likes what Mikleo makes and that makes both of them happy.

>Even during the opening of the OVA / anime when we first see them, seems like Sorey is always one step ahead deciding where they should be going and Mikleo is just dutifully following him 3 steps behind.
I really don't see them like this. They both love exploring ruins or going anywhere. Mikleo doesn't do it out of duty or only because Sorey likes it. He is selfish as well here and he also wants to explore and nerd around. Sorey is more likely to go outside in the human world as we saw rather than Mikleo is.

>If Sorey were the one left behind while Mikleo sleeps for eternity, I don't doubt that he wouldn't have been as loyal as Mikleo waiting for his return.
Nope. Never for me. He loves Mikleo and he would wait. He trusts Mikleo and he is royal to him. He would be happy to have Mikleo back.

I really don't see why their different personalities and attitudes makes you think they are not royal and trustworthy for the other. Sorey loves Mikleo. He cares about him, he is worried. His fucking dream is to explore the world alongside Mikleo and it's not because he demands it from Mikleo but is a genuine wish that he wants to do something alongside his most important person.

>>146429586
>I'm curious as to where you get the idea that Sorey craves for Mikleo's attention.
The fact that he outright says that he's always had Mikleo and expresses the fact that he is in fact lonely with out him, and also the way how he was welling to accept Mikleo's decision only after gaunt separated from him shows a certain level of selfishness on Sorey's part. Sorey sneaks off because he doesn't want to bother them with his decision, and Mikleo decides to go with him because he knows that Sorey might not return to Izuchi. It's very different from Mikleo's separating from Sorey because Sorey knows that that separation is only temporary.

>When he temporarily couldn't see Seraphs too - he didn't seem too conflicted about it whereas we know from Edna that Mikleo looked like he was about to cry.
That actually has nothing to do with Sorey himself but rather a cause of him not being given any time to absorb the situation because of Rose. Her interferrence gave him no room to think about it. And even then before blacking out he kept calling out for Mikleo, Lailah, and Edna.

Or seems as though you don't the character on the fundamental level.

There's actually a skit in the game where Mikleo outright says that he decided to learn how to cook because Sorey often forgot to eat, and that Mikleo dies it because he likes it. Sorey never asked him of anything, Mikleo decided it on his own. Anon claiming that Sorey demanded anything shows their lack of understanding of both Sorey and Mikleo.

>>146430047
Yeah, I know about that one. The thing is anon believes that everything Mikleo does is for Sorey's happiness and egocentrism while Sorey doesn't give back half of this and takes Mikleo for granted because he is so nice to him.
For this to happen it would mean Mikleo is miserable and he is holding on Sorey for a false happiness because he is dependant on him and has nothing else going on in his life. He is second MC and he mostly supports Sorey, that much is a given, but he is his own person at the end.

I get that everyone has different interpretations of their relationship and how they view so I'm only expressing my opinion here. I can't force them to change theirs for mine or the opposite. If they choose to see their relationship like that, so be it.

i don't remember if there's basis for this from the game, but i assumed Edna stays like she is because of Eizen. like Mikleo, who didn't want to get much bigger or grow older than Sorey while he sleeps, Edna doesn't want to grow much and be unrecognizable to Eizen.

but then i've also heard the explanation that seraphim stop growing when they reach their peak power. her true name is even Early Bloomer Edna, so that would make sense on its own too.
