She's not edgy.
After what happened to her in the first hours of the game you should have realized that.

>>385280646
So did oscar and his sister fuck each other? They seem a little close.

every tales game is the same

retardedly shitty writing with decent combat and graphics that are a decade old

I've played 5 Tales games (at highest or 2nd to highest difficulty) and I can't recommend any of them. Berseria is the same. For some reason I keep playing them, and I'll probably play the next one if it's on PC

>>385281201
I would honestly be amazed if they hadn't.

Absolutely. The combat is very fast-paced,although it is a button masher at times. It does retain Zestiria's weakness system.

The cast and plot are pretty solid with the former being very remiscient of TotA with their unique dichotomy. The plot is the very unusual (for a Tales game, anyway) revenge plot.

>>385281226
What passes as good writing to you? I see people shit on Tales writing all the time but never give examples
To me, Tales capture all the good things about late night early 2000's shounen anime

>>385281286
they fuck in the story?

>>385281573
I agree
While all the games have flaws, the gameplay is still the most important aspect
I don't think Berseria holds up gameplay wise to be considered the best when compared to other titles

>>385281412
the same problem as every other JRPG

japs have no sense of subtlety. Their definition of a theme is hammering you over the head with it. Characters often state out-loud what they're feeling or repeat their quirks because what if you didnt get it? Do you get it yet? Huh do you? well here's Velvet angsting over being a therion one more time

like the tree loli in Berseria. her entire character was "look at me I'm a cute daughterfu who got wrongly turned into a therion I'm what you're trying to save" and every time she shows up on screen the point is continuously driven into her brain

plot is just a mess and stretched out to hell and back. In between every major plot point there's a dozen hours of filler where you travel from place to place and back

I hate JRPGs. Tales is pretty much the only JRPG I play, so it's gotta be doing something right, but I have no idea what

Good writing for me is Nier automata (though that's an equal mixture of OST/atmosphere, and the writing does have its own glaring issues), first act of Divinity: original sin, Witcher games

Dunno why someone would hate a series so much to try and get a thread deleted over it.

Must be a Personafag.

Anyway the answer is possibly, OP. Opinions on the gameplay vary, but generally the characters carry it so long as you aren't easily offended, and the story is decent so far as JRPGs go.

>Must be a Personafag.

No, he made it clear himself that he hates all jrpg so much that he's willing to post fury pedo shit to get thread deleted.

Mechanically it's over-designed with the dismantling/enhancing system and the initially confusingly overcomplicated artes system and the plethora minigames to earn coins to get normin outfits (so many normin outfits) are very hit or miss. But the character's party banter carries it with a plot that's a perfectly serviceable battle between free will with all the negative repercussions of it versus magical brainwashing rays enforcing the morally righteous, socially just ant-like mindless collectivism on the world.

feel bad though because it was a pretty harmless thread

>>385280925
She's weird. She's edgy the first few hours, and then she acts like a normal person the whole mid-game. Maybe a random edgy remark, or action here and there. Then she goes full edge near the end, then back to normal.
She switches back and forth a lot. So she's kinda bearable.

>>385281226
I do the same. Don't like them very much anymore, yet still play each new one hoping it'll be better.
I couldn't finish Zestiria because it was so horrible, and it almost made me drop the whole series. Then Berseria was on sale 2 weeks ago so I decided to try again. Berseria was at least decent.

Hearts R was the only Tales Of game that came out recently that I fully enjoyed. I loved the simple combat and menus it had. The story wasn't too bad either. Too bad it's on Vita so most didn't play it.

>>385287454
the same problem as every other WRPG

burgers have no sense of subtlety. Their definition of a theme is hammering you over the head with it. Characters often state out-loud what they're feeling or repeat their quirks because what if you didnt get it? Do you get it yet? Huh do you? well here's Sera angsting over being a elf one more time

Are you happy now anon?

Wot? Near the end is when she's at her least edgy, not counting villager Velvet of course.

>>385288325
WRPG is pretty bad.

>>385288401
I'm talking about the part where she finds out Laphicet is Inominat and screams, tries to pick a fight with everyone that talks to her, and then went full "just let me die mode." Can't ignore that scene since it went on for a while.

Yeah, one of the best. Abyss and Xillia 2 are still my favourites though with Vesperia and Berseria tied for second.
I am very indecisive.

>>385288809
Ah, well I guess that counts, though I'd strike up a difference between just being edgy and going batshit crazy.

>>385288809
Poor Velvet... Fuck the abbey for toying with her.

>tfw abyss is still the best tales

>>385280158
Berseria is definitely one of the better ones. It's biggest flaw is that it remains tied to Zestiria in setting. It had to spend time setting up the stupid shit from ToZ instead of making it its own thing which held it back.

Still a fun game though. If you like the Tales series it is worth a buy.

Disagree, at least no more so than any other jrpg. Destiny DC, Abyss, and Vesperia definitely don't have "huge flaws".

>>385289929
To me the biggest flaws are the world and dungeon design, 75% of the soundtrack being motoi sakuraba shit and the lack game play outside of battles.

Still my favorite Tales and jrpg though.

The only other rpg i can think of where I loved every party member was Shadow Hearts: Covenant. Man Abyss was so fucking good.

>>385290619
Fuck I need to play Shadow Hearts then, Abyss blindsided me and the only party that matched it for me was P3, probably cause they were also assholes/real people

>>385281201
I don't think they fucked. But they were clearly in love with each other.

Personally I feel like Berseria did the whole "they are all assholes/real people" thing much better than Abyss. At no point did Tear or Anise feel like real people.

>>385280158
It's the first Tales game in a while that actually made me interested in the game's story and characters, but I'm not a big fan of the game's combat. It's too simplified, and Tales already had pretty simple combat.

The only way to fix the Tales Of series is to fire every single person that has ever been involved with them. The team has no idea what makes a great game, nor how to properly deliver one.

It's a Yoko Taro situation. They are retarded when left on their own, unless a bigger studio helps.

I won't deny that the male half of the Abyss cast is way better than the female half. I think Tear is pretty good though. I never really felt like the Berseria cast dealt with infighting, especially after they warmed up to each other. Not that they needed to, they have their own dynamic and it was fantastic, but something about Abyss where all of them are flawed and selfish is just so engaging and real to me.

>>385291064
They shouldn't fire whoever worked on the Xillia 2 battle system imo. And I think Berseria was a really good step back in the right direction

Maybe I'm in the minority here but I couldn't play Vesperia. I dropped it for Eternal Sonata after like 15 hours. The story wasn't engaging, the characters were blah, and the combat was terrible. I much preferred Symphonia, Abyss and Zestiria. Literally what is the appeal of Vesperia?

>>385291608
Yuri.
That's literally it.
Before Velvet, Yuri was the protagonist closest to not giving a fuck about anything and doing things his own way.

>>385291608
The first third of the plot has a lot of intrigue and strong drive, the graphics and art direction look nice, Yuri is highly appealing as PoV character, and the battle system grows as you unlock new skills and artes. I especially liked Final Strikes, which you can defer for extra XP and items.

>>385291391
Well there is initial infighting in relation to Eleanor, but generally that wasn't as present because they were all up front with their reasoning for being there. For instance Eizen outright says he'll ditch at any time things aren't in his favor.

I feel the difference I'm referring to is that while you could argue both casts are flawed, Berseria actually acknowledges that. In Abyss it's pretty much just Luke that gets shit on, while everyone but Jade's flaws get glossed over, particularly Tear's and Anise's. Anise gets excused just because, and Tear feels like a bit of a mary sue at times.

Abyss was really heavy handed with its technical jargon. It couldn't go five seconds without somebody saying phonon or some derivative. Also even though I love them the main party were giant assholes until the end of the game, a big turnoff for a lot of people. Other than that though yeah Abyss is pretty great.

Vesperia is plagued with bad writing. The story is overall kind of a mess with weak as hell antagonist that all die way too fast. They all go drop like flies with barely more than five lines of dialogue to flesh them out. Yaeger was pretty cool though. Also Raven surviving was a huge copout. Dude had an entire underground temple collapse on top of him while his heart was exploding and he just shrugs it off and rejoins your party like ten minutes later.

Tales games have great main parties in almost every game but outside of that the villians and the worlds they inhabit are pretty hit or miss. Usually miss.

I think the characters in Abyss do acknowledge their flaws though, I would say that's actually a big part of the game is them coming to terms with them. I'm just a sucker for infighting I guess. I actually wished there was a moment when like Eizen did leave for a bit or something where the party had a serious internal disagreement instead of always being united in their cause (aside from the obvious Elanor in the beginning). They're different games with different purposes though and I love both parties. I will not defend Anise and I think Tear could be percieved as Mary Sue - ish at times. If anything Jade is probably the more accurate Gary Stu

>>385291995
The jargon is fair but nothing I would describe as a huge flaw. Not like an Achilles heel is what I mean I guess. The things the make Abyss great like the unconventional party of assholes is inherently polarizing I feel and I would tend to say is it's biggest strength.

I buy into your Vesperia points a lot more but even then I wouldn't say "huge flaw" cause I don't really think they drag the game down in any real way. Side note one of the cool things I love about Berseria is how great the side characters were and how relevant they stayed.

Well Luke is obvious, and Jade's past actions are a big part of caused a lot of the shit that happens, but outside of that there isn't too much. Again, I think the males are alright, it's mainly the females who I feel are on the weaker end.

I really wanted to like Tear going in because she is one of the better looking females in the series and didn't seem your usual 'pure innocent waifu' character, but yeah she felt a bit sue-ish and overly perfect at times. Anise was just a bitchy kid who thought she was way smarter than she was, and of course they let her get away with it. Admittedly I also despise overly bratty teens/kids, as I didn't care for Rita either.

No, a game has been confirmed on the switch for 2018 but it most likely won't be a main game.

I really hope switch babies don't get the new Velvet game.

>>385294754
Probably won't know until the yearly tales of event next year.
This year all they annouced was additions to the mobile games.
If you absolutely need something to play apparently tales of the ray is out for mobile.

Of Tales of bears, I made attempt to learn the equipment upgrade system, and was using it on moderate mode. Soon i realized it was extremely tedious compared to how easy that mode is. And stopped. Its tedious because menu'ing between build/destroy for a certain set of working items is not quick or precise, mistakes can be made selecting shit slowly when you have a wall full of different gear, even when locking.

Equipment building, at least past +3, is more for hard mode or harder right? Crafting is meant to sync with tokens that give better drops on harder difficulties. Yeah?

I say equipment upgrades are only meant as fun diversion for replaying the entire game on harder settings. Am i right?

I loved it, and I skipped like 3 Tales games before Berseria.

>>385295195
I've been playing on Hard and have been ignoring equipment skills almost entirely. I focus on masteries and only reinforce when convenient. It's probably the worst part of the game.

>>385295489

yeah, getting mountains of gear drops just to enhance/dismantle them into components to enhance the gear was adding hoops to jump through for the sake of it and undoubtedly not worth dicking around with beyond an initial ENCHANTMENT it until you got to the last tier of gear--at least then you'd only have to deal with it once. Apparently the system was even shittier in zesteria, but i skipped that one since everyone said it was complete shit and just watched the animu instead (Edna a cutest little sister)

>>385295195
>>385295489
Well i still hate it, i been planning a mental guild of order of operations when purging new drops:

Enhancing Rules:
) When you need the basic resource, just break the +0s,
) basic resource required to upgrade is +n
) basic resource gained from breaking is +n
) some basic resource are not standard by the name (eg silver/bronze/gold). the fuck?
) Most basic resource go across gear (rarity) levels. (farming is easier with you know the lower zone)
) You Lose basic resource when you remove >= +1,
) x3 = n gear require a tiered dismantle resource from -1 to -2 that level.
) you must lose basic resource when grinding higher tier tiered resources.
) fuck this

>>385296163
I fucked up n terminology but meh, ill rewrite somewhere better someday to help others.

>>385295160
They also announced a soundtrack release for the asteria mobile game, I'm definitely looking forward to get it since it has great tracks.

Its better than Zestiria but thats not saying much.
The plot is extremely boring most of the times.
I'm a couple chapters away from the end of the game but I can barely pick it up to play.
I love the combat and characters but the plot is just not entertaining.
Maybe Xillia 2 was so good that now I cant enjoy the average Tales Of games again.

How was that Crystal boss that unlocks chaos and that reflects everything? Did you beat it? Did you find the trick?

>>385298570
Funny how 95% of all battles were just mashing forward while trying to get into berserk mode as much as possible.

>>385298658
Yeah. The trick is turning the difficulty down and then just killing it OR equipping reflect gear OR abusing the counter attacks that Rokuro uses, which is shitty unless you are perfect with the timing.

>>385298570
Sucks for you since Berseria has one of the best plots in the franchise.

In timeline of all of other games, and if the sea exploration is taken seriously, Tales of bears/zest marks the very end of world time compared to the other games?


How so much of the world changed over the eons? Thinking about it, the changing relationships between humans/spirits/mana/resources/worldly erosion, it feels depressing. But that's what tales of games are about, the paragon shifts that change the world right? And worldly changes that were part of circumstances of the MCs and their choices...

The tales of series is surprising deep when you think about the eons between games.

What's with the credits art? Some kind of dream parallel universe?

I actually have a good thing to say about DotNW.
Emil had this cool 2 parter mystic arte when he goes full edge and if you use it on Richter he deflects it back at you.
It was definitely neat

Is it just me or does Abyss feel like its aiming for a different audience from the rest? Kind of like FFVIII was, I thought it might be because it's older but I've been playing Symphonia and it feels more like Graces f except less like a parody of itself. What about Phantasia? Or the new ones, the latest I played was Xillia 2 but never got far (probably go through it after Symphonia).

Not sure if i remember the whole alignment thing but she was definitely the only good character in the party. Rokurou and Laphi were easily neutral. You can argue Eizen is evil but barely.
Velvet is Evil. I'm guessing neutral evil but I'm not sure
And Magilou was definitely chaotic evil.

Any tips? I don't often play RPG's and I've never played a Tales game before.

>>385314416
Only tips I can give is that you can't heal yourself with items when suffering from status effects and you can't heal petrification (both these apply to both games)

>>385314416
When it comes to Zestiria, just focus on Sorey and treat your Seraphims as expendable and swap them out whenever needed desu.
