dammit I missed out on all the good discussion didn't I

I wanna play this so bad but the only Tales game I've ever played before is Symphonia.

The best Tales cast so far imo, followed by Vesperia.

>>389057408
We need more pirate JRPGs

>>389056882
They're great
There's a lot of tongue in cheek edginess though so if thats not your thing the first third may be a slog

Is magilou ever an active party member? Her banter is top tier but I'm tired of this bitch not pulling her weight

>>389057652
She'll join eventually. The wait is worth it since she trivializes almost every single encounter with arte using enemies with her break soul

>>389057947
Oh cool, though even as just a comic relief character she's great

>>389056882
Probably the best cast in all of the Tales series.

>There will never be a Tales game with writing as good as this and gameplay as good as Abyss or Graces

WHY CAN'T NAMCO GET BOTH THINGS RIGHT

I'm sorry I waited this long to play it, I actually finished dragon quest builders before I opened this. The fuck was I thinking?

Zestiria is the only Tales game related to Berseria, but I'd recommend you to skip him since is the worst Tales in all aspects.

>>389061292
Not a good one or anything, imore so finished it to jusitfy my purchase admittedly

>>389061734

When did the combat in Tals get so weird?

I played Phantasia, Symphonia and Abyss back when and the combat felt good and responsive; I picked up Zestiria because of the PAX sale and the combat feels and looks like pic related

What happened?

>>389058124
abyss was fun but you could see it was their first time doing a real 3D game. free run is so op its not even funny. you can run the enemy in circles and never be touched.

>>389062684
I feel the same too.
The last Tales of games i played is the Radiant Mythology 3, even Zestiria can't top that.

Can someone give me a quick run down on Zestiria so I don't have to play it to know what happens to the cast

is Laphicet a good god

I fucking love the video game character know as Velvet (berubetto).

>>389063005
Eleanor starts up the shepherds order
Magilou gets married, has kids, and lives for over 700 years before choosing to die.
Eizen becomes a dragon
Rokurou is probably on the lost continent by now.
Velvet is still sleeping.
Laphichet chooses to become a hellion as part of his master plan of getting an actual actual decent shepherd who could actually fix shit and to understand hellions better, his plan suceeds.

I want velvet to take care of me because hse's number one, i want her to breastfeed me and suck on my dick, i want to have lots of sex with her and i want to make out with her whike cuddling and when we go out i wand to hold hands with her because she's MY number one.

>>389063406
>Magilou gets married
Woah, hold the phone buddy.
Are you sure? Who's the husband?

>>389063406
>Magilou gets married, has kids
Damn. Who's the lucky bastard!?

>>389063565
please don't lewd my sister/aunt

>>389063406
>gets married, has kids
You're lying.

>>389063159
He was a weaksauce shepherd who was becoming a little too much like Artorius, so his Prime Lord took away his sword and locked his ass up in the Lefay puzzle so that he could be used as fodder to make a better shepherd stronger.

>>389063005
Zestiria takes place fucking 1000 years after Berseria. So yeah, he did a good job until the next lord of calamity.

>>389063565
Stop with this shit copy paste. You're not a true Velvet fan, she's mine anyway/

>>389055258
the 2nd half is a mess desu and gameplay wise Zesteria was more fun. The setup is fucking 10/10 though.

>>389063739
there were more lords of calamity inbetween velvet and heldalf
thats how eizen became a dragon, he transformed and then fucking ate one of them

>>389063594
>>389063632
>>389063679
Not lying, the Mayvin you meet in Zestiria is her descendant. Accordingly the Mayvins are now large enough to be considered a clan.

>>389063898
They're not blood related.

>>389063983
It's never once stated that they aren't. Just that he's a descendant, there is now a clan of them, sand he in particular took over her job.

>>389063739
There were several LOC between both games.

>>389064163
Magilou is stuck in her 14 years old body, I doubt she had kids.

>>389063406
>Laphichet chooses to become a hellion as part of his master plan of getting an actual actual decent shepherd who could actually fix shit and to understand hellions better, his plan suceeds.

I don't think I understand how a god turning into a demon (thats what hellions are I'm guessing?) would work

Besides he was already a dragon so

Shit I'm going to have to play that garbage game aren't I

>>389064297
Considering how she's referred to in Zestiria she might have fond a way to age a bit. That or she fucked a lolicon.

>>389064415
Simple he allowed the malevolence to effect him, and turn him into a hellion. However he never loses his mind (that only happens in Zestiria's bad ending) and so gets purified very easily.

Him being a dragon doesn't mean that he can't become a hellion.

>>389064645
What I meant was how does showing people "See even your God can become a demon" make them more accepting and not freak out even more about them?

Is he actually communicating with them in his hellion form to get them to realize he's still maintained his sense of self or what?

Reminder that Zestiria is the reason why the Berseria ending is shit. Why didn't they just go home and celebrate the victory? Laphicet could be able to use the silver flame without turning into the new empyrean anyway.

>>389065036
Berserias ending was shit because Velvet didn't go full edge and kill everyone

>>389065036
If Velvet killed Innominat instead of subduing him her Laphicet and half the secondary cast would die

>>389064415
Basically Zestiria was a giant gambit from Laphichet, Lailah, and Zenrus to get a powerful shepherd who was also mentally sound and prepared to actually complete the true mission of a shepherd.

That's why Mikleo was effectively raised to act as Sorey's wife and companion, and thus give Sorey no lasting ties or any reason to really care about human society and politics, which would have corrupted him (That's one out the reasons why Alisha was dangerous, her bullshit was going to turn Sorey into another Artorius).

Basically Zestiria was a giant set up, both for the world and for a much larger story.

>>389062032
That's a side game

>>389062256
And Xillia 1/2
And Phantasia/Symphonia

>>389065501
I totally forgot about Xillia
Phantasia and Symphonia are linked in the same way Z and B are in that you don't really need to play 1 to get the other

>>389064812
No body besides a select few seraph (Zaveid, Lailah, the seraphim in Elysia) knew that Phi chose to become a dragon. Laphichet wanted to understand hellions so that he could understand the human pysche better.

It was about Phi's understanding of humans.

>>389065036
Because that wasn't what she wanted, and Laphi is dead and Innominant isn't s hellion.

>>389056882
No
the characters are good but there are plenty of Tales games that had better parties

>>389065410
But it wasn't when it came out.

>>389065410
It used to be a mothershp title but it was so shit it was kicked down to an escort title.

How do I get them to do the Mystic Artes more frequently? They let their Break Gauge fill up without performing them. (And even if I tell them to do so, they ignore it most of the time.) I tried adjusting the tactics, but none of the settings seem to work.

I wanna brush Velvet's hair

>>389064415
Try to watch the ZtheX anime instead. It tried to "fix" some plot holes, but It's overall better than play the game.

Is berseria that much better? torrent,
anyone?

>>389067189
also are the 2 connected? Do I miss stuff if I play berseria without knowing what happens in Zestiria?

>>389065036
>>389065153
More to the point: Velvet Crowe died that one night three years before when she fell into a deep hole with her arm chopped off. She was temporarily resurrected, but her life was over. She then proceeded to do many indefensible things for the sake of an understandable but destructive goal (revenge).

No happy end was available to her.

Sub, not a question. Dubs are only for murica normies.

I thought that was cute.

>>389066960
That anime fixed nothing, nor did it ever attempt to all out did was force a side character into the spotlight b because she was the President of Ufotable's waifu.

The removal of the world map to explore really killed Tales for me.

Do you guys think Innominat and Velvet ever fugged

Any news about future projects or games? We're getting a new mainline Tales game next year, right?

>>389070198
They didn't annouce a new game this year. It's probably for the best because the last 4 mainline games were all released unfinished.

When you can't even finish the main villain's model or even 50% off tv's models in time for the release date (Zestiria) then you know you've got problems.

>>389070198
Probably not next year, it might be announced next year though.

If yes is the anime good enough?

>>389071247
No. You will get some nice stuff out of berseria if you have, but zestiria is such a shitty game its not really necessary. Its mostly just lore bonuses though.

>>389070198
well, I'm not buying a PS4 until they announce something. Let's hope It's Vesperia 2.

Why a PS4 for that though? It will be on PC if it comes out at all.
