Also something about how the next Tales game will be shown at Nintendo Direct, which is right after E3 I believe. Don't quote me on that though.

They probably wrongly assumed that Alisha was the most popular character of Zesty despite her failed manga and the Zestiria popuarlity poll showing differently.

Alisha was a character that appeals to otaku, but her type of the fans are the ones who do nothing but whine on the internet.

>mikleo 1st
Why are Talesfag so gay

>>379053432
It's because Zestiria already has two adaptations that were better than the game, both of whom focus on Sorey and his perspective. Both of them are better than the game itself.

https://pastebin.com/wRcC4Erk

When the anime was airing he manga, which had a decently high amount of popularity and was lauded as what the game should have been.

>>379053576

It's vague about whether it's a new game or a port/re-release. My moon is very fucking weak too. But something something "new" Tales game, Nintendo Direct, please look forward to it.

Not what I expected. If they announce Switch Tales of at E3 it will be buried by Xenoblade X2 and possibly Project Octopath Traveler.

Not sure what Namco are thinking.

Maybe they don't want it to sell?

Because Mikleo/Sorey is the only thing fujos have to make them like Zestiria, and also why they won't just let that garbage game be forgotten.

It will get an extended port for the PS4/PS5 in a couple of years anyway.

I think they stopped doing that with Xillia. Graces f was the last time they did that fucking retarded scheme of releasing a rush game on one console then releasing a better version a year later on a different one. Now they're all the same rushjob.

>>379053292
Oh I'm not saying that not pandering to fujos is a bad thing. I'm just questioning the choice when they should have known full well who most of Zestiria's fanbase was.

>>379053478
Don't see how they could when the most vocal and largest portion of the fanbase are otomes/fujos. I think the popular Alisha had was definitely boosted by pity over the Rose situation though. Still, you're right that they overestimated her popularity there.

I guess if they really wanted more waifu appeal they'd have had to throw in more Velvet.

>>379053719
Or fujos only really like Zestiria because of Meebo and Sorey, if they were in any other game, they probably would have been even more popular. This explains why the anime failed.

>>379053759
No fuck you they could've made an adequate home console without the stupid portable tablet shit and had games that didn't look like they belonged in the last generation at a $400 price point

>>379053652
But again, them pandering to fujoshits wouldn't have made the Zestiria anime any better, it would have just made fujoshits pretend like it was good just like they pretend Zestiria is good because Mikleo/Sorey is so kawaii desu.

They would still only be given half a shit about because they're a yaoi couple, regardless of how bad they actually are as characters.

Velvet is not even the most popular Berseria

What the fuck is she even best at?

ZESTIRIA WAS A MISTAKE

>>379053670
It will be TGS or Nintendo Direct, not E3

>>379053821
They stopped because all their recent games were released exclusively on Sony consoles and other platforms are pretty much irrelevant. Where do you expect them to port Xillia? X360? Xbone? Wii U?

This is good. After Berseria they needed to take a long hard look at the future of the series instead of pumping out the same shit every time except for making the battle system more convoluted. Hopefully the next main title they announce will be completely crazy and new.

Frankly, if it really wasn't a port and was a completely new entry, they'd not have worded it like this in the investor slides and would probably have put emphasis on the fact it was new, like by using 完全新作 or something to bait/please investors.

I think it's gonna be a port or a remake.

I don't understand why fujos would be into Zestiria for the gay bait.
I played Zesty back to back and there's literally no gaybait (and I wanted there to be, for the novelty mainly as I don't dig neither Sorey nor Mikleo), hell there was more Alisha pushed onto Sorey, and the bitch is barely even there.

Is this whole fujoshit business based solely about Epilogue Turbofag Mikleo smiling like he just had an orgasm when Sorey saves him? Or is it just the animu?

>>379054085
>retards like to forgot Velvet btfo all of the other female characters hard

Honestly, it's the best for the team to take their time with the new title, but it's still kind of boring to have nothing new to talk about except mobileshit.

Regardless of the reasons they stopped, I'm glad they did. We usually got the inferior version if we got one at all. Hopefully they realize it's 2017 and they can patch in DLC if they want to get more money for updating games.

>>379053824
Well at the time the most vocal portion of the fanbase was actually Allishafags, as they were the ones who constantly whinged about how their waifu was shortchanged on the internet, and then sent bomb threats to Bamco.

You're right about the pity bit, if the characters were written like how they are in the manga, people would have probably forgotten about her.

>I guess if they really wanted more waifu appeal they'd have had to throw in more Velvet.
The irony of this is that in order to have more Velvet the anime would have needed Sorey to have less Alisha and more of Sorey spending time in Rolance which is actually the country where both Berseria and most of Zestiria's story takes place. The same holds true for Eizen as well.

>>379054251

We've gone this far down in Tales to have fags win polls now. May as well have added Yuri and Leon back in. Yes, I'm mad and I even noticed that Sorey/Mikleo are getting more and more merch lately such as a new upcoming figure of each. As well as two separate cushions or dakis with them sleeping.

Why would Velvetfags be upset when there character beat all the girls and landed into the fujo top 10?

>>379054141

- tickle fight
- flavour text describing them as being peas in a pod, that description for their Armatized form holy fuck
- "Now, tell him your true name!"
"He already knows it!"
"Oh my!"
- implied that Meebo lives for Sorey, and is devoted to keeping him safe and happy in the character/lore book
- side-quests with vague hints, like Sorey considering Meebo a "hot babe" (though his innocence and cluelessness about sexuality makes this moot)
- If Meebo was female she'd be Sorey's OTP partner, no questions asked

You have to have goggles strapped on to see it, really. It's a lot of looking for shit in out-of-the-way places and reading between the lines.

I find the fujo shit and waifu shit as bad as the other.

The fact that sorey is ranked higher than her proves this poll is nonsense rigged by fujo's delusion. She maye only be 7 but we know she's number one.

>>379053892
I think the point went over your head, like I said before the manga focused on Sorey (in other words we also ended having more Meebo) and literally is actually better than the game, with it's only negative being it's length.

So because of that they can actually say that pandering to them would have made the story better, because what they want is what the story needed.

>For instance Fujos don't like moe uguu characters, so Alisha was forced to gain a personality.
>they're not too fond of spotlight stealers so Rose was put in her place and called out for her bullshit.

None of that really felt that prominent in the flow of the game, though... They are so split apart and barely touched, it feels like a very long shot.
Especially considering Mikleo takes part on chats about chicks in bikinis, and gets pseudo-sexually teased by Edna a few times.

I don't know, I guess it's done like that on purpose because fujos tend to get equally turned out by blatant gay? I don't get japs.

You mean the bikini skit where Mikleo wasn't even really interested in the girl. Or how Mikleo and Edna's interactions are actually similar to her interactions with Eizen?

Seriously.


So, did they announce ANYTHING new?

>>379055003
They were a costume option in the latest God Eater, and one of Bamco's musou games.

>>379054786

If you give a fujo an inch, they will take a mile. This is not an exaggeration. They're hardcore shippers who use the slightest details to justify pairings. They don't care if the homo is blatant or not, just if it's well-done. A lot of yaoi is bottom of the barrel trash in terms of quality. YoI proved that you can have blatantly gay men together and make it rich off of them. Bamco just plays it safe since having a protagonist or main party member be openly into dudes is a huge turn-off for most otaku (and Japanese people in general).

I don't really understand that since a guy who likes guys in your group means less competition for you, but whatever.

It's not really a bad thing. It's just a phenomenon within the niche, much like waifuism.

My boy Ludger is still very popular. Keep it up Japan.

>>379056193
Why are you surprised after Ludger won the White Day poll?

>>379056014
This is assuming that anon's favorite character isn't one the characters that topped her.

>>379056241
I thought fujos would slobber over Mikleo and Sorey. Mikleo won but there are still many who like Ludger.

Mikleo is best girl
Ludger is best boy

>>379056293
So he either has shit taste, is a fujo or likes Eizen/Luke.

>>379056335

Huh. Well I am pleasantly surprised best boi even got there at all. And past Emil and so many others at that.
I thought fujos were 100% against dudes past like, 20. Even if they are made into basically deep voiced chicks. It's even a joke in the extra sketches in Radiant Mythology and shit that he's too old to matter.

>>379056917

When the hype was still going it wasn't too bad. The dream is dead and we're back to dead franchise threads now. Fuck Bamco.

>>379057037
Ludger's older brother is considered top husbando material among fujos. I think that Jade's cameo in Rays reminded people of the fact that they really do like him.

>>379057037

Depends. Most Tales characters are 14-18 anyway so the requisite adult character in the party is usually the odd guy out and relegated to being the voice of experience and wisdom while the rest of the party gets to do dumb fun stuff. Raven's up there too and he's an old man in his early thirties. Ludger's in his 20's and he's been well-liked since his game came out. They're not always unpopular, just less common.

I don't know why for the life of me Raven's on the list though. He was annoying as fuck in Vesperia with ever other line being about his old achey back. You're fucking 30 dude, only Rowen has the right to complain and he did as little as possible. Suck it up.

>>379058164
>Mikleo first
Can't be tilted about Velvet being 7th, since this is obviously fujotown with that result.

>>379058264
Maybe because the hate towards Sorey was overblown to begin with, he's actually an inoffensive character, unless you're like some otaku and are pissed at him for not being a self insert character.

He's a good husbando, as long as you're Meebo.

>>379058415
No the hate towards Sorey is not overblown, he's popular for the same reason Mikleo is popular - the female fanbase like to imagine the two assfucking.

>>379058415
But that's exactly the problem, he's just boring as fuck.

>>379058479
>I'm sensing a lot of salt here
Yes it is, Sorey is perhaps the most inoffensive I've seen in a while. His haters are just loud autists, who we now know are also the minority.

Eleanor is not on the list.

>>379056568

Not enough fanservice to attract otaku and not enough personality to beat out the likes of Pascal and Rita, or even Edna with Fujos.

>>379060031
Except anon was trying to imply that everyone hated Sorey, which to be honest, in order for Sorey to get that high on list couldn't be true, especially when you know that the poll was open to all Nips who bought the games, and not the Festival attendees.

>>379060228
Because he knows why he's there.

>>379060163
Laphi may be alpha, but he's not a handsome ikemen so there was no chance he'd get that high.

>No announcements at all, not even a teaser
>Fujo poll another year

Holy shit, what a shit festival.

I was right. This is an off year for mothership Tales. They're dropping PS3 and going UE4.

So I looked at the past polls and yeah, Luke has never came first, only 4-2. Just ban him already Scamco., he'll never win.

>>379060247
But isn't that a favourites list? Haters don't matter in that poll. Voting Sorey in a favourites list is akin to saying that vanilla ice cream is your favourite when there's so many to choose from.

Can we blame Baba for lack of new game announcement?

>>379060762
If a lot of people hate a character then that would also mean that a lot of people don't have that character as their favorite, in other words it means that they would voted for someone else.

It's not a akin to saying that you like vanilla ice cream when there are many to choose from, this is more akin to outright looking at the flavors available and then still choosing vanilla over of all of them because vanilla actually is your favorite flavor.

Though I guess one of the real reasons for /v/ being upset about the poll results is that it doesn't fit the narrative that /v/ has been pushing for a while now.

>Not banning Leon/Judas, the original fujobait

>>379061096

I like Velvet too and while I wouldn't mind seeing her again, getting salty over a popularity contest that generally has no bearing on a game's protagonist is stupid.

>>379058164
Why asbel is always high in those lists i thought people hate him?

>>379062072
Actually it does have some bearing, how high a character ranks in dictates how much of that character you'll see and how much merchandise like extra side stories etc. will be released based on on that character. They'll advertise that character more as well. If a character doesn't place or places low, then you'll see a lot less of them.

For instance while Rita always places its not high enough to justify her getting her own manga, but Raven is high enough to justify it.

>>379062312
Because you need to get off of /v/ for a while.

>>379066345
>zestiria characters should be disqualified considering these are votes for their ANIME forms, not their original selves from the shit-ass game
Get a load of this dumbass

Sorey, Mikleo, and Edna were always popular characters, the anime actually got a lot of flack for pushing them off to the sidelines and wasn't liked because of it.

The only character who you could claim's popularity comes from the anime is Alisha, and even then you'd be wrong, her popularity comes primarily from people pitying her game counterpart.

The last good tales game was Graces F. Everything else since has been terrible shit and the customization is getting way too complicated.

Why do I have 30 of the same sword or jacket, so I can get the one that does 5% extra damage to a beast type monster? Wtf

>>379066675
That's a lot of freakin pity to push her up to 17 man

>>379066714
>The last good tales game was Graces F
Just leave. Please.

>>379066775
Well partially out of pity and partially out of otaku that only care about her character design.

Alisha is a weird case, where Alisha actually isn't genuinely liked for who she is, but rather how she looks and people feeling sorry for her. Which is why her shit flops all the time.

>>379066954

I wonder, would the results change if it was a online poll? I mean Goro tanked badlly outside the offical poll for Persona 5 and he's prime fujobait.

>>379067340
The battle system doesn't begin to shine until like... 3/4th into the game. Until then, you have to put up with some of the worst dungeons, towns, music, and plot ever included in the series. I need more than a good battle system to keep me interested in a game.

>>379067071
At this point in time they've fucked up too much to fix it with a re-release, and Ufotable deciding to go full pandering probably made things worse as it created false expectations in anime-only viewers Alishafags into thinking that their waifu is actually an important and relevant character. Not only that but the various ways it fucked shit up, makes me doubt that they'd ever do anything big with it, unless they decide to continue it through a manga or novels, since it's been doing well in those mediums.

>>379067417
I mean, I guess at a base level? But Berseria looks good visually and Zestiria looks like a bunch of textures stretched over unfinished / under construction assets

Who gives a shit then? Do you think strawpolls mean anything?

>>379067558
Wasn't Zestria rushed ?

>>379067364
I think you were supposed to pick between Alisha and Rose, similar to picking between Jude and Milla, to explore both sides of that issue, but Baba went with just finishing Rose's route and put Alisha under a bridge

Bring back Elemental spirits please. Enough of this hellion bullshit

>>379067720
Bullshit theory, it was in the design notes for Okumura that Alisha was not going to permanent party member.

>>379067558
That's because Zestiria was unfinished / under construction assets

>>379067685
Well they had been working on it for years-- supposedly-- but 'seamless' battles took the devs SO long to implement that they ended up having no time to finish everything else sufficiently, which made it come off as rushed.

Rose's seiyuu was hired close to the end of development, as it seems Baba couldn't make the hard choice of which storyline they would have to go with if they couldn't do both routes (alisha/rose), so he went with Rose and hired Mikako Komatsu, who was his idol and the person Rose is based on

the biggest shame is, Alisha's seiyuu was a true Tales fan and it was her dream come true to be a part of one, and she got the worst role possible for that.

then they did that stupid DLC where, character development be damned, these two totally incompatible girls are forced to turn gay for each other, at one point culminating with Alisha screaming I JUST WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH YOU against all logic or reason

>>379067286
There were online votes. Otaku have no excuses

>>379068201
Too busy doing pity votes for Alisha.

>>379067720
>>379067887
Either way, i'm just sad that this (quite interesting imo) plot went nowhere. I'm guessing it got scrapped for more "Rose is the best!".

>>379067887
double bullshit, why the fuck do they sell her weapons if she's not there?

why is she in early screenshots visiting/fighting in places she can't go due to being assigned to the stupid bridge? why was rose nowhere to be seen in early promotional artwork whereas Alisha was front and center holding hands with Sorey?

Why does the plot contrive a reason out of thin air JUST as Rose is introduced that pushes Sorey and Alisha apart?

Why do characters near the tail end of the plot just show up as if we were supposed to have met them before (in another route??)

Actually we don't know when Rose's Va was hired, because the source that claimed that she was hired last was unsourced based on hearsay. As for Rose herself, there are far too many assets for her both used and unused for her to be a last minute character.

>the biggest shame is, Alisha's seiyuu was a true Tales fan and it was her dream come true to be a part of one, and she got the worst role possible for that.
It's actually not uncommon for Idol seiyuu like Alisha's Seiyuu to be "fans" of something.

>then they did that stupid DLC where, character development be damned, these two totally incompatible girls are forced to turn gay for each other, at one point culminating with Alisha screaming I JUST WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH YOU against all logic or reason
Alisha was just pathetic in the main game itself, hell it was even a part of her backstory.

Tl;Dr the Alisha controversy is a bunch of bullshit.

>>379068134
I can't imagine all their time was spent on seamless battles alone. I mean they're a studio, obviously different people work on different things.

>>379056009
is that Kekkai Sensen

>>379068461
that's the only explanation i can think of, just look at the textures in, say, open fields, or the Ladylake Church, it's like PS3 character models dropped into PS2 environments

>>379068372
Because there were staff members that liked her and insisted on making her a permanent party member, so the director and the head writer tried it for a while. But then when writing the story they realized that Alisha didn't make sense as a party member.

>why is she in early screenshots visiting/fighting in places she can't go due to being assigned to the stupid bridge?
Early trailers not resembling the final product isn't uncommon with Videogames.

> why was rose nowhere to be seen in early promotional artwork whereas Alisha was front and center holding hands with Sorey?
Because they intended for it to be a twist that Alisha wasn't important. That's why she actually has no personal reason to travel with Sorey and why she's irrelevant to the overall world buidling.

>Why does the plot contrive a reason out of thin air JUST as Rose is introduced that pushes Sorey and Alisha apart?
Actually that reasoning wasn't to introduce Alisha but to foreshadow Sorey going to sleep, Rose's foreshadhowing was something completely different.

>Why do characters near the tail end of the plot just show up as if we were supposed to have met them before (in another route??)
The characters are in Lastonbell because that's where the peace treaty is being signed.

Besides that Alisha doesn't show up at all.

>>379066210
>not wanting to reborn as King of the cats and be stronger than Gaius
come on now

>>379068412
I don't think Rose was 'last minute', I think her VA was last minute because they had two scenarios mapped out, and Baba couldn't just pick one until it got to crunch time.

This is also the only reason I can surmise why Skits aren't properly laid out with their proper flags, and get stacked up on save points-- rewrites forcing them to re-do a large number of skits to be Rose-focused.

>Alisha was just pathetic in the main game itself, hell it was even a part of her backstory.
Sure, but I think that was later given more emphasis due to

A) baba constantly writing okumura's characters to suffer constantly, because fuck you
B) wanting to make Rose look better (like the characters cant shut up about)

>>379052139
Seriously fuck the japs

Rosefags BTFO

>>379068986
But that "two scenarios mapped out" doesn't make any sense when you consider one thing.

Why would you want to choose a character that's heavily restrictive and doesn't allow you to even leave the country that is irrelevant to the overall lore. And whose story has no connection or effect on the Sorey, over a character who isn't restrictive has connections to the lore, and also effects Sorey's character.

>A) baba constantly writing okumura's characters to suffer constantly, because fuck you
Baba isn't a writer and it was the head writer's idea to make Alisha useless
>B) wanting to make Rose look better (like the characters cant shut up about)
He has nothing to do this either.

The characterization of Alisha as a pathetic delusional girl is continued in her own manga and even the novel where it's pointed out that she herself was a fuck up and that's why she was having such a hard time.

So, IF we got a 3rd game in Zesti/Berseria universe you think it'd have a completely new cast with the old one as either enemies or support from behind the scenes?Or would it be a mix of new and old? And what would everyone's reaction be when it is finally revealed that the last boss and mastermind behind everything was Arma Dylan?

>>379066210
>Milla
Zelos seiyu : because you would have big boobs!
>Rollo
Seiyus: Be cute fat cat that sleeps a lot!

>Mikleo
seiyus: You just want to be reborn!

>>379069395
>Baba isn't a writer

So ... the head writer decided to make Rose a living tribute to a seiyuu that Baba was notably obsessed with? And decided to write in that she was engaged to a character who was blatantly meant to be Baba?

>All these male nominations
I dont think this semen slurping series is for me.

>>379069440
All the most popular Bers/Zest characters are immortal, so they could be party members or significant characters.

>>379069585
>And decided to write in that she was engaged to a character who was blatantly meant to be Baba?
That prince guy who immediately dies in Dezel's flashback is supposed to be Baba's self insert?

>>379069585
You do know that whole "tribute" shit was Alishafags reaching pretty damn hard? Unless you think that Baba would allow himself to be framed as a villain that fucked up his supposed waifu's future to the point that she became a heartless assassin with an implied relationship with a seraph then sure when she could have married "him" then sure.

>>379069585
Considering the homo end for both the male and female mains, Baba didn't write enough

>>379069730
IIRC, he's called "Prince Conan" which is a nickname of Baba's or something, along with Rose's character profile being one long list of fanboy references to Komatsu's seiyuu bio

>>379069782
>Unless you think that Baba would allow himself to be framed as a villain
writing his self insert to be the catalyst for her character to become who she is? yeah that sounds about right

>>379069782
ALISHAFAGS WON

KEK

>>379069786
I think Rose and Alisha were forced together in the DLC to alleviate the backlash Rose got from overshadowing the character people originally expected to be the heroine.

>>379069952
Yeah a person who fucked up her life, before Sorey came in and fixed it.

If the prince was a character that Rose married at the end of the story, you'd have a point, in this case you don't because the prince was nothing but a negative influence on Rose.

>>379070076
Pretty much this.

Rose's most popular ship at the end of the game was actually with Dezel, but pushing her with Alisha also gave Alisha a love interest because Rose was also the only one available.

>>379069952
Game Rose didn't give a shit about the prince though.

tales of zestiria was trash that proved that someone could write a worse story than modern squareenix

but some fujos will still justify something stupid about sorey and mikleo

go be gay somewhere else

>>379069835
oh, I remember that, it shitposted around Zestiria's release trying to link Baba to Detective Conan
Alishitters are the /pol/ of Tales

>>379069625
At least half of Berseria's cast is dead dude.

>>379070448
>can't even top a cameo character in popularity polls

Rosefag tears are most delicious.

>>379070367
>>379070117
self-inserts don't have to be retardedly in your face and transparent like that, the character with a bio mirroring her real life seiyuu's (whom baba was obsessed with and called a 'goddess') was engaged to a guy with Baba's nickname, and their 'tragic relationship' leads rose to becoming who she is in the game.

pretty sure just being a direct part of her backstory would be enough, the actual details of it are not really important

>>379070292
>The anime and DLC push Alisha and Rose incredibly hard to appease Alisha fans
>Tales of Link wedding day comic puts Alisha with Maltran and Rose with Dezel
At least the mobile dev team knows what they are doing

>>379070480
Velvet isn't, Rokurou might not be, and due to the rules of reincarnation Eleanor and Magilou could have become a seraphs.

I'd understand this alisha/rose debate if the characters were any good.
They just aren't, man, they are awful and completely overshadowed by mikleo, sorey and even edna and lailah

>>379070404
it's the only PS3 tales i haven't finished, every time i boot it up i remember how ugly everything is

but i don't know if i want to sit through so much of the anime either.
