Why did the Tales series go to shit?

The dub is uneven, but most characters are good where it counts. Out of the main cast the weaker one is Phi, and even then it's more uneven than bad. I won't spoil anything for you OP, enjoy the game.

>>383077674
people are recognizing it to be a great game

>>383077674
Waifufags. This game is really awful. Maybe the best of Tales series, but that would mean the other ones are dogshit-tier. The characters are mostly good, but that's it.

>>383075783
Yes, most Tales of Games have good dubs. Not every single character is fantastic, but the overall quality of the english dub is very nice.

>>383079804
So you're saying you've never played a single Tales game?

>>383080037
The Tales games are mid tier JRPGs and most of the time they are crap.

>>383080445
So you never played one?

>>383080528
I played half of Phantasia, all of Eternia, 10% of Symphonia, all of Graces, Zestiria, and both Xillias.
I play them as guilty pleasures like DW but they are crap JRPGs

Velvet's VA did a overall good job.

Velvet almost breaking was pretty hard to watch.

>>383080690
They're good games. You haven't played a crap RPG until you played garbage like Beyond the Beyond.

>>383081474
Just because there are games that are garbage like Quest 64 doesn't negate how Tales games aren't that good.
I feel that they stand out because they are action rpgs when most were turn base.
Same with DW, they are nothing wrong with them mechanically but they have any depth. Almost mindless at times.

>>383081684
but they hardly* have any depth
>>383081474
>inb4 those webms from Xillia 2 or Berseria
Playing those games realize they are more flash than substance

>>383081202
I love the screams she does mid-battle. They're my favorite.

>>383081684
I dunno what criteria you're using, but if you're going to have Tales of games be considered crap, then basically you can only play Final Fantasy games.

FF is the only JRPG franchise that has AAA production values. Even their second flagship, Dragon Quest, has no where near the production values of FF. DQ would be considered crap as well.

Sure there's some surprises here and there like Chrono games, but they stopped making those for over 15 years. And Chrono both Trigger and Cross were considered 2nd rate games with a limited budget.

>>383082002
>you can only play Final Fantasy game
Oh fuck no dont even start that. I'm not going read the rest of your post if you're going to assume that shit.

>>383082139
Then what criteria are you using? Production values? Story? Gameplay? Music?

How the fuck are you rating games? Clarify your position already.

>>383082427
Gameplay.
It can be the ugliest fucking game of all time but gameplay is king. I feel that Tales games are shit action games with an RPG coat of paint.
Same with FFXV which was a terrible for that awful gameplay my fucking god.
KH2FM was the only rpg with good action gameplay but even then there was limits in its variety.

>>383075783

Yeah Velvet and Magilou were stand outs to me.

>>383077308
My first Tales game. Not a fan of the combat particularly, but the story is great (if uneven), as are the characters.

Also, that Yui Horie.

>>383082746
So you don't care for Turn based games then. And I disagree with you on your second point. They're RPG games with an Action game coat of paint. Which completely changes the narrative of what is considered a good JRPG. Since JRPGs are traditionally Turn based, even games that are considered masterpieces like FFVII is considered shit according to your criteria.

Which is really odd since there's nearly zero ARPG JRPGs in the world. Tales is one, and KH is the other. KH isn't that great of gameplay, it's primarily just button mashing similar to Tales. And sometimes worse, since it's just rolling around and poking. Which is garbage.

And I consider Souls series to be something similar to old action games like Symphony of the Night or even Mega Man. Just in 3D form.

>>383075783
No they're garbage and you're delusional, play the game in Japanese as it supposed to be.

>>383079804
it is only being regarded as "the best" by people who only played graces and xillia games and zestiria. which is the downfall of the franchise in terms of ost, battle system, art direction, level design and exploration.
the more they pander to gays and fujpshis (which are the people who barely buys the games) the shitty the games are.

>>383085245
>>383084769
I'm sure the next Tales of Game will bring together Zesteria and Berseria.

If I liked Abyss, will I like this game? I'm torn

Super easy button mashy that helps new and old players alike?

Because if you play on Chaos mode, and you do the same shit you did on normal mode, you're going to get wiped incredibly quick.

>>383086780

Anon, what

I haven't played the Tales series since Abyss, I didn't know how the franchise evolved over time. What's with the random hostility? Is that a criticism this game receives a lot or some shit?

>>383086410
The japanese pander to gays now too? So, only slavs left at this point?

>>383075783
Velvet is edgy Ciel from God Eater.
Laphicet is terrible.

>>383086432
Highly unlikely. Notice the following patterns:

In zest, they talk a lot about maotelus, Edna's brother, zaveid and his gun, mayvins, and the empyrians. On rare occasions, they discuss innominat, King Claudin, and the world beyond midgand (aka hyland / rolance)

In bersaria, the we get maotelus, Edna's brother, and zaveid's origins flushed out. There is more detail on the other continents and the history / lore of their world, but there are still tons of details left out.

This means likely the next game in the zest, bers trilogy will be yet another several hundred years ago in the past and likely go over in more detail the origins of King Claudin, the seraphim, the mayvins, and in general the older world. And if the next game is another prequel, it's pretty much impossible for it to tie the characters from bers and zest together. Velvet, eizen, phi, Eleanor, and magilou lived, loved, and died just as Rose, Alisha, and sorey did. Accept it, boys.

>>383089102

You don't seem to know what that word means.

>>383090148
No one knows what edgy means anymore.

>>383090148
Not that anon, but she is edgy. She has her reasons, and later in the game she mostly just pretends to be edgy but you can't just deny that.

>>383090415
Edgy in the context that anon was using it typically describes a character that acts unreasonably harsh or violent without reason or with weak reasons. Edge is usually pretty poorly defined when used correctly, but I think it makes sense for a character to act with anger or have a bleak view on the world if they are given believable reasons as to what made them that way. The correct word is edge, but calling he character herself edgy doesn't seem accurate.

Switched to the dub about 15 hours into the game cause I was curious and lasted about 5 minutes, not sure why you would use the dub when the better version is literally 1 down press away.

When are they going to get a new style for the series, Zestiria and Berseria look so fucking ugly. I would rather take the washed out colors of Xillia over this.

I liked it, but there were a lot of backtracking sequences that got annoying after awhile and once Eleanor joins up, the game starts to go to shit and only starts to recover near the end.

The dub is also hit or miss. The main cast is decent, but some of the side characters are pretty bad. Kamoana/Moana in particular was so bad that she ruined every scene she was in and made me want to strangle her voice actress.

With that said, I had a lot of fun and for the $25 I spent on it, enjoyed my time.
