Why doesn't Bamco just come out and say "yes they're gay, they love dicks almost as much as they love each other"? The game has that reputation already, they've done everything but just come out and say it, and that ship (Mikleo in particular) was the only positive thing they could spin from that disaster of waifu tears and Otaku sperging. Let the gays and the fag hags have the game to themselves, I have every other non-dumpsterfire game to myself. And if they have this one I don't have to worry about the next game having homoeroticism just to score points or whatever.

Even the Nips all know that they're gay, remember Mikleo was effectively created and conceived as a heroine character to allow Sorey a romance but to avoid pairing him with a girl.

If they wanted Sorey to be straight then Mikleo would be a female character and according to the lore Sorey and Mikleo would be married.

Mikleo is pretty much a girl anyway and I don't get why some people get mad at him being a "boy" when it's really nothing but lip service in this case.

The anon you're replying to just wants replies, so giving them thoughtful responses based on facts is useless.

I'm getting tired of that "open to interpretation" crap that the Japanese seem to love. It's fine as an option for relationship statuses, but sometimes it'd be nice to have official confirmation in the game itself. Not even just for Tales, but others that push the angle without delivering the catharsis too.

Next Tales game is either going to be another party of friends deal or more of the same dancing around the topic. I'd rather just have a party of friends though. Has a new mothership title been announced yet? I thought something was going to be announced at Nintendo Direct since TalesFes was a bust.

Our ideologies are very different. Western idea of "open to interpretation" is their idea of "they're practically married and having hot monkey sex whenever the lights are off". Nips can't into PDA.

Look at Cloud and Tifa, if you ask a Nip with knowledge of the franchise they'll tell you that they're together and are fucking. If you ask a Westerner he'll claim that it was never confirmed or stated that they're even together.

>>
>>389243581
They are obviously supposed to be meant as brothers your entire argument is that because they act emotionally close and overly friendly with each other that equates to being homosexual. Which is way overreaching, this is compounded by the fact that sorey is essentially an asexual monk.

This is the same shit that fujos and fags said about ludger and julius when xillia 2 came out. Or speculated about jude and alvin when xillia one came out. There's nothing to back up your argument besides the fact that you like the aesthetic of a feminine twink with a more masculine male dom.

It's fine to like this shit, there's nothing wrong to with being gay and enjoying gay ships, but people that constantly push it as canon are as bad as the alisha fans that sperg'd out.

You're just being overly obnoxious for two characters that are for all intents and purposes treated as brothers in the same way that saiyuki reload characters are treated as.

You think that you're brother is hot? The last time I checked incest isn't normal. Also it's not particularly brotherly to wish to spend the rest of your life with said brother either, while being completely indifferent to females in general.

Literally that hotspring event is just him saying mikleo looks like a girl, that was the entire gag of the skit.

You're going to tell me julius wants to fuck ludger because he said he looked good for his new train job?
>>
>>389244247
Well in Disney's case they had to treat the audience as idiots, since when they didn't the audience didn't understand.

Westerners are just not very observant when it comes to the feelings of others and Nip society by its design isn't straight forward and relies heavily on implications so the people are trained how to pay attention to nuances.

No one knows. Bamco made noises about wanting to make three games in that setting, but after Zesty's disastrous reception no one's sure what will happen. Berseria was made as-is because it had started production while Zesty was in development hell and they couldn't afford to change it by that point. Lucky for them the game was well-received, if somewhat disappointing in sales thanks to being associated with Zestiria.

There are arguments for Bamco going either way but we won't know until they announce something other than derivative mobage shit. Your friend probably saw the buzz about how some promotional materials showed Velvet and Sorey in the same image with the text "Their journey isn't over". That could mean a spin-off novel/manga/escort game or a mothership game. Or nothing at all if they want to abandon the setting and go for something new. Hopefully we'll find out sooner rather than later.
>>
>>389244447
Stop replying to bait Anon. You're looking foolish.
>>
>>389244531
And the official novel has him call Mikleo that as well.

Also the Japanese version of the "Fairy of Love" skit.

Ludger shows an interest in women and was implied to be in love with alternate Millia. He stricly only refers to Julius as his brother. Sorey is only ever shown attraction to Mikleo, and their relationship isn't brotherly.

>>
>>389244635
It could go either way, but if they did decide to go back to revisit the world since Zestiria's characters are really popular, and now the problematic characters are all dead timeline-wise, and so they can choose to not ever show or bring them up ever again. The Zestiria content was also surprisingly well received in both Tales of Asteria and the Rays. They can do it they just can't touch Zestiria itself with a ten foot pole.

All they need to do is add in some Berseria characters and they're good.

Not according to the head writer and the head director. Alisha was conceived as a side character however, waifufags on the staff complained and so they tried to make her more prominent, it didn't work, and actually just caused confusion. So they went back to their older idea, but then they had wasted a lot of time.

Ah right, so it's all up in the air at the moment. While Beseria was decent I'd like a new setting (and artstyle Jesus Christ), mainly for a clean slate. Plus Tales games never do well when trying to focus on one world, and I'd rather it not become something akin to the FFXII trilogy, where we get one thing for an entire generation.

But then we'd risk going back to the days of DEEN. Regardless of what the ufotable director may or may not have done to upset Talesfags, the animation is far superior to what we had before.

What did he do anyway? Call a spade a spade and say Tales games are low-budget anime games for people who think FF is too mainstream?

Actually Bamco has been working with Studio Wit a lot lately. Also it's not that the animation is really better so much as they're just using flashy effects.

As for what he said, well he pissed people off twice, once when he admitted to waifufagging during TOZX (which is why Alisha took over the show), and the second time he just showed that he didn't know what the hell he was even doing in regards to Tales.

Man, ToZX felt like a butthurt Aliciafag's fanfiction. Now I know why. I'm guessing the second time was trying to talk about something he didn't know? Not that it really matters. Otaku are easily offended.

Where's my new game announcement, Bamco? Do I have to bribe a Japanese person to send threatening letters to your offices before you'll stop making low-effort phone games and make a proper console entry that doesn't look like an early PS3 game?

It's funny before the interview Alishafags insisted that TOZX was what Alisha was originally supposed to be, but when the Ufotable president came out and admitted that it wasn't, and even the guy who designs the kamui outfits pointed out that he never even conceived any design for Alisha using Armatus, that threw cold water on the situation and put everything into perspective.

Alisha was created as a side character whose story has nothing to do with Sorey's or the overall story for Bers/Zest at all. She's a character that's completely unimportant, and could easily be deleted and really all that would change is that you wouldn't have her giving you false information at the beginning of the game (which would actually clean up the narrative and thus allowed more time to focus on literally everyone else).

>(which would actually clean up the narrative and thus allowed more time to focus on literally everyone else).

That's very appealing, but it also means more Rose. And unless improving the narrative also means improving the characters, I can live with what we got. I don't think the witch hunt against Baba was justified (even if he was stupid and fueling the fire with his actions), but I can really live without more Super Awesome Breaks the Laws of the Universe 'Cause She's Cooler Than the MC Rose. Strangely enough, as awful as it was, the anime was great for making Rose Alisha's bitch. I hate Alisha only slightly less than Rose at this point though.

>>389248668
Would this be the wrong time to tell you that Rose's character arc likely got cut due to the time as well.

The whole point to Rose was originally that she challenged Sorey's views and in turn and most importantly also had her own views challenged by Sorey. The end result was that they'd both grew as people. Lunarre was supposed to help her with this, since he was the walking example of her mistakes. She was supposed to own up to her mistakes and change as a person which is why she chose to be the next shepherd.

Mikleo got his character arc about his loneliness and desire to be human cut out completely.

Lailah got her love story with Michael cut.

Edna got her going through the 4 stages of grief and understanding her brother cut.

Dezel got his past cut, and as did Zaveid.

In fact with the seraphim it seems that what was cut were things that would have made them appear more human. And with Rose it was supposed to be her change as a person. Alisha didn't fit in any of this which is why she was the odd one out or "not a true companion".

That all sounds amazing. Makes me wonder what the hell happened that it got so far off-track. I know Japanese devs don't do retrospectives like Western devs sometimes do, but in this case I'd be interested in finding out why things went so wrong. Maybe in a few more years someone will do a documentary like NoClip did for XIV's catastrophic failure.

Part of the reason I hate Rose so much is because I was so eager to like her. I love blunt, no-nonsense tomboy girls. But the way she was handled was simply awful. No one in Zestiria grew or changed in any meaningful or sensible way but she was the worst offender with how obnoxious her presentation was. If only we could see what Zesty was really meant to be.

>>389250480
And that was just the tip of the iceberg.

The whole idea behind Zestiria is really that people saving the world not out of the goodness of their own heart but rather just because its a means to an end. In other words it seems that originally Zestiria was more of a character driven story. The story moves because of the characters' desires cause it to move. It's funny when Velvet meets Sorey she points out that they're aren't too different from her and in fact they have the same type of logic regarding how they see the world.

Yeah I feel the same way, in Zestiria she's just a Mary Sue, it wasn't until I saw the manga that I even found her tolerable. When I read about some of the information about the characters in the guidebook, heard about the series being in development hell for a while, and then also read the interview where the head director admitted that Alisha caused problems due to waifufags in the staff wanting to keep her around and make her more prominent, did it all make sense.

almost all the tales games have got that something that makes them stand out for the better, zest doesn't really have anything like that

This is called queerbaiting.

Hyped as 20th anniversary Tales title but came out as a rushed and buggy mess, waifu hype that turned out to be a bait-and-switch, and Baba (game's producer) being a shitlord riling up fans instead of calming them down.

Basically Zesty was a pile of disappointment after being in development for so long, and all the marketing hype caused a huge backlash when the game was mediocre at best. Then they doubled down on the failure by having the world's worst PR team handing player-reported game issues, broken otaku hearts, and forcing people with no responsibility for the development to apologise instead of the execs who actually made the bad decisions leading to failure in the first place.

He literally changes Zesteria about half way through from being about Sorey and his boyfriend ghost-brother's adventures to a fucking Mary Sue character who was voiced by his favorite VA.

I don't use Mary Sue very much, but there is literally no other way to describe her. Sorey was the Shepard, the hero heralded in legend that would come and lead the people out of the darkness that would engulf the world, this allowed him to see spirits and even fuse with them.

He then meets this girl who has never seen or heard of any of this stuff, and during your FIRST dungeon with her, she gains all his powers and then sum. She literally usurps his place as the hero for no other reason than Baba. It's so fucking hamfisted and disgusting that there was no way they could explain it without coming off as retarded.

I was a fucking apologist for this game, my friends would always tell me, This game is shit, don't buy it" but I did and said "This is okay, I can overlook the 30fps and weird camera" but FUCK that story

Bonus dicking for you

I've played most of them since Symphonia, but I never bothered with Zestiria until now. Gonna play Berseria afterwards.

The story is actually more complicated than that. You see the staff had a lot of waifufags in it and they demanded to have a young female character to beat their dicks to. Lailah and Edna weren't enough so they insisted that Alisha join the group, since the last game was coming in too late. The director attempted to throw them a bone and tried to incorporate Alisha more but she didn't fit in, because she was literally created not to, so then the team turned to Rose.

They got the bright idea to dress her up as the heroine, even though she originally was just another party member, and at he expense of her character forced her to become the heroine.
>>
>>389252858
Why should anyone have to apologize in the first place? Just because the creators tried something else and fans didn't get exactly what they wanted? That's really fucking stupid.

The game was marketed with Alisha being the heroine a bunch, but she leaves your party early on in the game and never comes back (except for like one short section iirc). It was mostly about misleading marketing.

And if you want to play as her more, you have to buy her side story DLC.

>>389255160

It was rather obvious, Sorey is introduced as a character who has been isolated from other humans and thus needs a human companion who actually knows about the world.

Alisha is a Princess who has zero connection with anyone and even less knowledge of the world than Sorey.

Sorey needs to visit the other country on the map, Alisha can't go because her country is at war with the other country, etc.

Many of the japanese and importers as well as straight up retards threw a huge fit over what happened with Alisha as a character. While slightly bothersome that isn't the real issue the game should get some hate. Overall it's a very rushed and unfinished title.

>the world map in places is pointless and had very little work put into it
>dungeons had exactly 10 minutes of work done to them and are very simple
>side characters you can tell were meant to have a lot of backstory and involvement but are instead either forgotten or have their rushed arcs pushed through in an awkward manner
>the main story suffers greatly from all of the above as many elements and story segments seem to be missing and those that are in the game get dropped in places
>While the game seems like it was designed to have two main heroine routes the cutting of Alisha brings Rose to the forefront and her character development is just silly with her trying to fill in for everything

With all that said I really enjoyed the game for what was there, Go Shiina blew the fuck out of the soundtrack and the characters outside of Rose were really fun. I just wish they hadn't rushed or fucked it up, it could have been amazing.

Not true at all, why would any game give you a choice between not being able to leave a small sandbox and becoming a poltical puppet while never achieving anything of note and dying a hellion and actually explore the world and achieving your goals.

Hell the fact that Ufotable attempting to force her into the forefront made her disconnect to the story and world and world at large even more obvious.

You had two main character routes in the game that came out just before it, makes total sense for them try it again. In Zestiria you get a taste of the political side and then it's ignored, you deal with the publics view of the Shepherd a couple of times then that gets forgotten too, not to mention how utterly pointless and forgotten Maltrans side story ended up being with Alisha having herself cut from the game.

You mean the game before the last one. The last mainline Tales game was Xillia2. Besides that Zestiria was made with the idea that there'd be no man and no female heroine because the next game planned was going to hand a female heroine.

In Zestiria politics don't matter and because of what Sorey is he can't be tied down to one country anyway. The way how people see the shepherd isn't important to Sorey's mission unless it hinders it. Which politics would have done.

Alisha was conceived as a side character completely unimportant and disconnected to the main plot, Maltran's purpose was to get her to realize that she wasn't some special hero in her fantasy novels she liked to read. So that she could actually move forward with her life.

How is it optional when it's the conclusion to the entire reason Edna joined you in the first place?
>>
>>389274403
And the whole reason why it's a plot whole is because in both Zestiria and Berseria it's outright stated that a seraph that becomes a dragon can't ever revert back to the seraph.

So Ufotable simply making it happen is in and of itself a plothole.

Only with special bullets which Sorey did not find because they're on another continent.

Did you play Berseria? Zaveid doesn't save Eizen because Eizen didn't want to be saved. Hell, he was against even telling Zaveid about the bullets so it's unlikely that Zaveid even looked or even knows about the bullets.

Besides because of Eizen's "reaper" ability even if he turned back to a seraphim he'd just turn back into a dragon again anyway.

Tales is consistently letting child hood friends win.

But Sorey would be able to use the seraphs themselves instead of the special bullets to purify Eizen, even though that would end up killing them all.

No the bullets are something completely different. Besides that when he used the seraphim as bullets on Hedalf its only use was to severe the bonds of armatus between Hedalf and Maotelus. It doesn't purify dragons.

Maotelus's normal form is of a dragon.

>ToZX felt like a butthurt Aliciafag's fanfiction
This is the best summary to TOZX I've found. The only thing keeping it from full wish-fulfillment for the Alishafag is that queen Alisha didn't marry Sorey as her prince consort but the staff was going there on S1 until they realized the fujos weren't taking any of their crap
>>
>>389285257
Fujos didn't buy it anyway. In fact people bought it just so that they could record themselves breaking the disks and and send it to Ufotable.

>Lailah got her love story with Michael cut.
I've always knew there was something between them. Too bad, they'd be a good parallel to Sorey and Mikleo, a love between a human and a seraphim
>>
>>389285531
I believe that was the original intention.

>>389285450
Well duh, fujos would be cuckqueens if they came back to ToZX crawling just for a couple of scenes. Besides, like half of S2 is about Rose

>Alisha was conceived as a side character completely unimportant and disconnected to the main plot, Maltran's purpose was to get her to realize that she wasn't some special hero in her fantasy novels she liked to read. So that she could actually move forward with her life.
I hate what the anime did to Maltran. I actually liked this subplot but waifufags ruin everything
>>
>>389286042
Funnily enough the anime pissed off not just fujos but also many Mikleofags and Alishafags alike, as Mikleo by that point in time was accepted as the heroine, and Alishafags didn't like Alisha being a Mary Sue (actually anime Alisha got a lot of people to hate her to the point that people prefer her as a side character now).

You should hae seen how Nips reacted to her anime armatus appearing in Asteria and Link, they bombed Talesch with negative reviews.

I'm not one to usually assume characters are gay unless explicitly stated, but Sorey/Mikleo is so blatant and works way too well to ignore.
