While I do like to see Mikleo suffer, I don't think he reacted like that to Sorey leaving. I think he more than most understood how necessary it was for Sorey to do this and had come to peace with it before they went to the final battle. His loyalty and love for Sorey made him able to wait all those centuries.

I know this is late but you cannot beat as others have said. If you look, I believe after the war/dragon fight, you get an item called a Dragon Orb or something like that and it specifically states that it negates the effect of dragons healing.

I really wish they would go back to the overworld, it gives a much better sense of exploring a full world.
In Zestiria and even Xillia, I never had any clue as to where I was on the continent, or in which direction I was going. When I'm in Lastonbell, where am I in relation to Ladylake ? North ? East ?

I really don't think maps are as effective as an overworld.
>>
>>122688043
>When I'm in Lastonbell, where am I in relation to Ladylake ? North ? East ?

Look at the world map. Ladylake is northeast of Lastonbell IIRC.

Maybe it's just me but I don't see it as being a big difference. Either you're a giant stomping through forests and across plains getting jumped by monsters and approaching a town to enter, or you're actually walking through the forest and across the plains in detail getting jumped by monsters and approaching a town to enter.

Do you even get a world map in Zestiria? I couldn't find it. No, the warp map doesn't count. I mean an item, an easily locatable, openable world map.
>>
>>122689756
>Look at the world map. Ladylake is northeast of Lastonbell IIRC.
That's not what I meant, but I should have explained myself better, my bad.
When I go from Falkewin Hillside to Glaivend Basin, I go south. But in Glaivend Basin, it looks like I'm coming from the east.
It's somewhat disorienting. Sure, the map is here, so I've got a vague idea of where stuff is (and even then, all cities share the same icon so you have to look them up manually).

In vesperia, I knew exactly where Dhangrest was and how to go there from Halure. I could just jump on Baul and go west.

You're right, it's not as immersive, but as far as I'm concerned it gives a much better sense of traveling a coherent world and I think it's worth it. But that's very subjective.
>>
>>122690394
I actually have a world map in my game and it helped a lot with the four trials. I don't remember how I got it though, maybe it was with Turtlez
>>
>>122690394
The map you can open by pressing R3 is the only one you get as far as I know.
>>
>>122689930
Believe me I'd like that but I don't trust these writers to make that work. Velvet's design alone makes me brace for the worst kind of edge.
>>
Threadly reminder that fixed camera angles allow for a far better view of the world than 3rd person will ever offer.

>>122688043
Oh jeez, this times a million. A world map actually gives a sense of direction, I really dislike what they're trying to do now.

Graces still made it relatively understandable but Xillia and Zestiria made me feel so awkward. I had no sense of direction of where anything even was.

>>122693561

I do love fixed camera angles but I think that if they spent the time to design things with the free camera in mind it would end up being far superior. One thing that gets forgotten is what happens when the player tries to tilt it upwards to see things above them, games like FF12 failed horribly at this. You could simply allow for some camera options in the field or even just in town, maybe throw in a first person mode or zoom levels to allow players to look around and get a full picture.

The only thing that really bothered me in Zestiria was how bland all the towns and cities felt, in other games each location felt far more natural, like it really had been there and slowly built up over many years. I suppose this is due to the new seamless combat but that shouldn't be an excuse for them to plop down 4 burned out square house models and call it a day.
>>
>>122695908
>that shouldn't be an excuse for them to plop down 4 burned out square house models and call it a day.

I felt like those were meant to actually show that the Age of Chaos was affecting things, not so much as being actual towns.

It's sort of like how the first half of ToS has them talking about natural disasters and plant life dying and crops withering...but everything looks lush and nice. Though it's possible they were concerned having the game look like a dreary hell at the start might turn people off.
>>
Finally finished Eternia. Probably missed a fair bit of the side quest stuff but I think I got through most of it.
Pretty fun 'light' adventure, I wish Max & Chat were a bit more fleshed out and less one-note and that we learned a bit more about Ras but maybe that was in the side stuff that I missed. Other than that I enjoyed it a lot.

I intend to play Legendia next, how well does it emulate?

Yeah, it has a lot of potential, but they haven't used it correctly yet. In Zestiria, there were only a few locations where I went "this looks cool".
Meanwhile, we had scenery like >>122699370 and Halure in Vesperia, Barona in Graces, or Yulia in Abyss.
>>
>>122700572
It wasn't complex like say, Tarqaron but I enjoyed it. It was my favourite dungeon in the game.
>>
>>122698974

Oh yeah I get that, I mean that it was super lazy for them to just toss those very simplistic models down in the middle of an area and try to pass it off as a town. It looked like something an intern did in 15 minutes.
>>

It's a fairly straightforward jog with only a handful of mutant extra bosses to fight. When I stepped in there I was expecting something like Abyss with lots of story segments and all that, nope just walk on through and finish the game.

Symphonia and Zestiria are actually on PC. I guess you could emulate all the games up until the PS2 era? So really you're just missing out on Vesperia, and Xillia 1 and 2.
>>
>>122716056

Emulate PSX, PS2, PSP and gamecube games. They might not be modern tales games, but there's plenty of games to play just by emulating them, mainly the old school linear battle system ones.

Symphonia = Abyss > Phantasia >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Zesteria

those are all the Tales games I've played
>>
>>122716615
Well, Abyss is one of the best Tales games imo, so you can start off with that if you want to be consequently disappointed.

Symphonia is the western/fan favorite, and you'll probably like that a lot also, plus it would be more optimized for PC so thats nice.

Frankly, Zestiria sucks and you probably only want to spend money on it if you're a fan of the series and really want to play all the games. The cast is good but the good pretty much ends there. Play the other (better) games first and fall in love with old school Tales and then get Zestiria for cheap later when it goes on sale. or just pirate it if that's your cup of tea
>>
>>122716615

Not the same anon. No idea about Zestiria as I have yet to play it, but I recommend to play symphonia before Abyss. It is in the awkward position of being the transition game from the 2D to 3D tales, so it would feel like a stepback if you play it after Abyss due its lack of free run and other systems modern tales have that makes 3D games more comfortable to play

Wasn't Mikleo a human who became a Seraphim ? Maybe that's why he still had to grow up.
>>
>>122719882
Yeah Zaveid was shocked when he said that. Seraphim don't work like humans but they still get horny as fuck somehow considering Zaveid.
>>
>>122720749
It's probably like food. They don't need to eat, but they can still enjoy the taste of food. They don't need to have sex to make baby seraphim but it still feels good, so why not?

>>
>>122723180

Zestiria suffers from a lot of rushing, you can tell they had the ideas and content but then never had the time to put it ingame. If you believe the Rose angle then it all comes back to him and his lust for her voice actor.

I do find it hard to believe that an entire team of developers couldn't see that the game wasn't hitting the mark in many areas and just went along with it.

Has there been any Tales popularity poll with Zesteria protags added recently?

Well Lailah did say that if they deny things like putting on weight then that spawns malevolence, I'd have to think if they deny getting pregnant the same thing could happen.

Oh, I'm not dissing the pic per se. It's not poorly done. But yeah, given the only water in Elysia is a tiny spring and Mikleo turns out to know shit-all about the ocean, he probably can't swim.

Even if he doesn't need to breathe, being thrown into deep water when you've never experienced it before has to be scary. Swimming is a skill, and if he never learned he'd just sink.

>>122724847
There's a lot of that, though. In general he's treated as the baby of the group.
He doesn't know about the elemental affinity thing the others are using with their weapons.
He doesn't know what squid or crabs are (mistakes the latter for a hellion) and decides the ocean is full of insane crap (which does lead to Rose calling him out as "some water seraph!")

You said it. Is it explained anywhere why Sorey didn't want Mikleo to become a sublord? I'm still trying to wrap my head around what the cons are of forming a contract with the shepard.
>>
>>122732528
PS1 version is superior in every way
>>
>>122733230
I thought it was because 'the sublord has to have their body become one with the shepard' which meant mikleo couldn't want out easily. but lol dezel
>>
>>122733230
He thought Mikleo would only be doing it for his sake and sacrificing his own desires for the sake of Sorey's goal. Which, as Mikleo eventually pointed out, was BS.
>>
>>122733230
It wasn't a con so much as he thought that Mikleo would be giving up his own "dream" in order to fill his and end up in danger. Mikleo later says that they both have the same goal and that Sorey's being stupid.

More like what the fuck was Dezel's deal when his "memories" returned, did he fuck over the Windriders just by existing? I've never been so confused in a RPG my whole life, and from the moment Symonne made Dezel remember to his death, I couldn't understand why/how Dezel's friends all died. WAS it just by him existing? I hoped it wasn't going to be a reason so shallow and stupid.
>>
>>122735578
This literally ruined the game for me. I was enjoying it up to that point too. How do you write a story about human emotion and not understand that sometimes human beings need to feel negative emotion in order to grow into a better person. Fuck, that was the stupidest thing I've ever seen.
>>
>>122735578
It was because his seraphim blessing was corrupted as he didn't want to let go of the human group iirc

From what I understand, once upon a time the windriders were a great happy merchants group lead by Rose's dad, and watched over by a gang of wind seraph that included Dezel (and maybe Zaveid?). One day Rose's dad decided to get Rose engaged to a prince. Dezel freaks out because he thinks this will cause the end of the windriders / he wants Rose for himself, so he releases malevolence (or does something like that?) which corrupts the prince and causes him to become murderous. Rose's dad and Dezel's friend die in the chaos while Dezel and Rose escape.

Pretty much. I feel like she could have been a really cool character if she was a major NPC. Where the sparrow feathers gang just /happened/ to be the same town you where in all the time and could sell you equipment. Also maybe people who opposed the shepard just /happened/ to drop dead occasionally while you were around, as a smart player you could put 2 and 2 together yourself without Sorey ever picking up on the connection.

It's hard to tell when she's being sincere because she spoke in the same tone(at least in jp dub) and Mikleo got annoyed as he always does when she mocks/teases her. She shows tsundere concern sometimes but she felt like a dick there. No one but Sorey and Lailah seemed to be particularly affected.

Hearts R is a pretty good start and it's one of the best games in the franchise. It's essentially a love letter to the PS2 era Tales games so if your last experience was Symphonia it might bring back some good memories.

Excuse you. Colette was at least cute and presented as the heroine right away. You could take her out of the party too if she annoyed you. Rose was not only shoehorned in out of the blues, she also got instant approval from the least social/most wary Seraphs in the party, and you're stuck with her for the rest of the game.

Rose is more grating than Colette BY FAR.
>>
>>122773380
>muh heroine
Doesn't matter because Colette was boring as fuck and annoying. I rather an entertaining/silly who can be annoying character over a bland/boring one who can be annoying.
And it's obvious Mikleo approved of her because he doesn't want Sorey being a lone human "talking to himself" for the whole journey or going blind by taking along cancer princess.

>>
>>122773747
He approved her because no one is allowed to know rose for 5 seconds without thinking she's the best thing since sliced bread. I mean sure Sorey could really use a human friend and boring knight is out of the question but that doesn't mean literally begging a stranger who's been nothing but downright rude and murderous to you is a natural and sound choice.
>>
>>122773747
bland/boring is far easier to ignore.
>>
>>122774495
I wish it'd be written better, but I think Mikleo was pretty desperate. Sorey alone, without another human companion, was actually in a pretty dangerous position. If his resonance got paralyzed again he'd be fucked, if humans caught him talking to seemingly himself he'd look crazy... And Rose, for all her rude and murderous ways, has proven she can take care of herself and has connections Sorey lacks.

It would have been better if it had taken longer for the seraphim (okay, maybe just Edna and Mikleo) to warm up to her. They should have just approved of her at first because she was useful, until there was a real bond of friendship there.
>>
>>122773747
>entertaining/silly
but Rose is none of those things. Even her quirk makes no sense. How can you be an ASSASSIN who KILLS people constantly and be scared of ghosts. The game loves Rose about as much as it hates Alisha, lol

#TeamColette here, my biggest beef with Rose is how the narrative has handled her. Purehearted assassin is a good concept, I actually love the trope of a more experienced character dirtying their hands to protect the purity of a more innocent one. But Rose was just so abruptly shoehorned in, how perfect and easily accepted she is, etc... the entirety of Zestiria so badly written that it's very difficult for me to like her. I attribute that 90% to the producers though, the whole cast needs to be saved by better and more coherent writing.

>>122778897
also
>Trained her whole life to protect the citizens, preserve peace, and fight for the good of the people
>Used as a tool for war at every turn for more bloodshed/conflict

No one deserves so much suffering. No one.

>>122775087
Characters who are tough but scared of silly things is a common trope. Like buff guys scared of dogs and shit. And compared to Colette she's a lot more funny and actually made me laugh. I don't really care about Alisha, she was more dull than Colette.

I will tell you, with 130 hours in the game I have never encountered a x3 skill or multiple x2 skills on one piece of gear.

I really really want to like Zestiria, I mean I like the characters and the graphics are nice, but the camera is getting annoying as fuck, I can't dodge properly at times when it randomly zooms in.

>>
>>122783997
Really? Are you playing on Moderate/Normal? I've played mostly on hard here, x2 stat drop on gear is uncommon but I've gotten a few pieces. Some good ones too, like a x2 Wind damage for male only boots so I've kept them on Zaveid. They make fusing a pain though, since I need to get new pieces that have specific empty slots. I'm 90-100 hours in. Party is around 80, Mikleo's maxed his cookng like any good girl should.

I cannot believe playing a mmo is more fun and exciting than playing Zesty. FFXIV has spoiled me with its amazing music, beautiful cities, and sheer size. And the cities actually having things in them. When I play Zest, I don't feel wonder. I haven't even seen any mini games if there even are any. Even though Graces re-used the Abyss minigame music, at least it had stuff to do if I got tired of slaying monsters for an hour.
>>
>>122785176
If you did like that guide described, you literally won't even NOT find x2 anytime a skill you did it with shows up. And with the double normin rate perk and everything related to them you should be seeing multiple x2s and x3 in about 1 in 20 times a skill shows up.

Yeah but Edna talks like that to everyone, it's her thing. And I know you'll say I'm exaggerating but the way I saw it for every negative comment there were 10 positive ones. She can never do anything wrong and even if they are talking about something else they'll find a way to mention how awesome/brave/pure she is or she'll just find a way to intrude in.

They are way too nice to Rose with little basis for it and you know it desu.

For what it's worth they do worry sometimes about Alisha so I don't agree with whoever said they don't care.

In that skit they weren't badmouthing her though.

A storng example I remember is when Alisha was in trouble and Sorey was concerned, all the Seraphs were all like "oh no, if something happens to Alisha, Sorey'll take it really badly!" Which is... pretty callous, because they sound like they're only interested in Alisha by the impact she has on Sorey. They don't care about her as a person, but about what her misfortune may cause as a backlash to Sorey.

He probably doesn't. A shame you cant look into the other houses. Gramps doesn't even have a bed. Sorey does, but the other Seraph probably imitate human behavior to a certain degree. So say, at night they may just sit around waiting for morning or do whatever Seraph do to pass the time.

Pretty much. They're worried about Alisha, but they also know that it would be even more disastrous if she died and Sorey lost his shit, and they just point it out. Lailah must be especially worried about the situation; considering it was a similar situation that led to Michael cusing Heldalf.

Some scenes did feel weird, but this one didn't bother me at all.

Western players may still be busy tying to 100% the game. I know when Xillia was new to the west, there was little to nothing. AO3 usually has more because different type of user base. ff.net is mostly high schoolers and the big trash dump.

I'm glad pixiv is constantly active at least. I'm curious as to what jap fanfics are like. But based on translations for official novella (in general), there's a distinct difference in writing style that makes it weird to read unless it's a localized translation.

I was honestly just thinking that in case someone brought up the quality of east vs west art. And I hate it so much. I'm guilty of doing it, but only because it's the only technique I knew and is one of the main taught for beginners art classes. It's especially annoying at cons when I'm buying prints. Great for vidya art, not so much anime depending on the artist.

Caius's human design is kind of cute though. Werewolf Caius is shit tier, but that's expected of furries. Rebirth actually did furries kind of alright.

Do tales games usually take this long for info on the next title to come out? I'm curious about berseria, lots of newly announced games are getting coverage but that is so low key.
I wonder if they are changing the heroine design or something because she looks so bad.
>>
>>122865606
I think there's just trickles then a huge flood a few months prior to release. Zesty started off with just Meebo/Alisha/Sorey then Rose got her spotlight and suddenly information everywhere. Wasn't paying attention when Xillia was coming out so I can't say for prior games.
>>
>>122854456
Living with a tsundere must be tough.
>>
>>122868031
At least he's not an abusive tsundere. And he does make Sorey delicious snacks.
>>
>>122865606
It's annoying that we still don't have any real information (it's been something like 5 months since the short trailer we got), but I prefer it this way.
I'd rather they play it safe and don't announce something that won't make it into the game. We don't want another controversy, do we.

If I abandon a sidequest in Zestiria, can I start it again later?

Patty's outfit may be better, but Chat was the superior pirate.
>>
>>122891450
They were probably too lazy to age her up I suppose
>>
>>122891450
Muse's situation is kind of weird. I'm pretty sure she took an Oath to become the seal that keeps the malevolence in Camlann, and I think it must have done some weird shit to keep her in her own personal limbo or something, because she doesn't age, and how could she possibly survive all those years alone in the ruins otherwise?

either that or they were too lazy to consider it.
>>
>>122893268
Even though it wasnt explained in the game, which is shitty, I think this makes sense because she knew both her son and her friend's son were growing up in Elysia. She probably did it because it was the only way she could protect them.
>>
>>122894661
If you talk to the Elysia npcs post-game, or maybe just as soon as you meet her one of them states it was an oath, and the price was never seeing her precious son again.

I'd always suggest at least emulating it, larger screen and all that. It can easily last you 70+ hours on a single playthrough and that might be too much to handle on a handheld.

>>
>>122972192
>got it out of their system
How sadly underwhelming. This game leaves no impact aside from disappointment. Granted I haven't finished, but the more I play the less I want to and teeter towards watching cutscenes.
>>
>>122973151

A lot of the threads so far have been just that, people having huge discussions about elements of Zestiria that felt lacking. To me it felt like they had all the story and lore ready to go but ended up cutting most of it, that's what drives me to want to keep discussing it.
>>
>>122976026
That is what it feels like. The game got chopped up and rushed a lot when they had a lot more to show. What the hell happened to the Bartlow guy? Post game everyone in Ladylake is talking about him and his disappearance.

Just opinions but I feel it is difficult to continue the game through dlc when they put the mc in a coma for centuries. I feel it was a bad move. It just feels weird without him and I'm not all that fond of Rose and Alisha as leads even if I like them as characters.
>>
What is the darkest, most depressing, and yet most heartwarming, Tales game?

Definitely Xillia 2.

Every other Tales besides Zesty and Xillia 2.
>>
>>122977431
Xillia 2. I mean, you've had some dark themes like slavery, genocide and racism. But Xillia 2 just put you on a feel train for the MC and didn't stop.

>>122979524
Definitely a new IP.
Tales will forever stick to cel shading.
>>
>>122980270
They could stick with cell shading and still have higher production values.
I love Tales, but you can't deny, it's got some bad voice acting, horrible animations, and some poorly directed cutscenes.
>>
>>122979524
Maybe it would get popular in the west. But Baba would have to leave. Also calm the DLC down to absolute fanservice costumes like anime crossovers or everyone in their (canon) underwear. Pains my heart to see how many costumes Abyss had and there isn't a single non-story related costume in Zesty whatsoever.
>>
>playing through Xillia again

I know it's the recording quality (and honestly you can hear the bad quality on other characters too) so I assume this gets fixed in Xillia 2.

Because X1 costumes also work for X2

>>122984448
Oh, neat.
>>
Is it just me or do the post-battle skits in Zestiria feel a bit underwhelming? They don't seem as varied as all the unique ones in other games (like X2).
>>
>>122991126
Yes, they weren't that interesting and it looked wired when they stopped after the conversation was over. It almost seems like they didn't want to include them (for the seamless transitions), but were forced to.
>>
>>122991126
I found they got better once Edna joined. Only most Alisha ones felt kinda boring. The static animation in so many modern jrpgs is jarring though.

Give the seraphs some bloody development
Either remove Alisha/Maltran or make her a side character and the war a background conflict because it was detracting from the main plot
Improve camera
Improve weapon/battle system
Make Sorey cloak actually cool
Make Mikleo a girl
>>
>>122995567
>Make Mikleo a girl

heresy

I would add to this either make Dezel's background story a hell of a lot more clear in the flashback, actually foreshadow it better beforehand or just ditch him entirely for Zaveid.
>>
>>122995567
>Either remove Alisha/Maltran or make her a side character and the war a background conflict because it was detracting from the main plot
Or you can give Alisha some better development and keep her around instead of diminishing her further.
>>
>>122995837
Make Mikleo a girl but also make Rose a guy. The former can now be literally best girl and shipped with Sorey by most people instead of a vocal minority and the latter will be more popular and there'll be no waifu wars.

>>122992808
Xillia is like they got 70% of the way through and just ended it. But the 70% was more or less done, the game just seems to end abruptly.

Zestiria seems like they just straight up ripped out chunks of the middle of the game, so the entire thing feels sparse.

Obviously I'm just talking broad strokes, Xillia still had shit like a terrible shop system and copy paste corridors, but it felt closer to coherent for the duration of the game.
>>
>>123002287
>copy paste corridors
And entire copy paste towns.
>>
>>122998410
Filled it out m8. I just wish there was more explained in the story. A lot was explained but I wouldn't have minded a bit more. I also really enjoyed Hexen isle, there should have been a couple more longer sidequest areas that explored the game's story and lore.

So seeing how the MC of Berseria is an edgy sperm demon, which is basically the wet dream of every male gamer. Will they balance it out with fundashi-bait?
I hope the fuck they do.
Although i sorta have this gut feeling the party will consist of females. In all seriousness, if that happens i'll drop Tales forever, i'd rather play Neptunia.
>>
>>123016361
There'll be plenty of dudes if that's what you're wondering. Also an all girl party wouldn't be that big of a deal unless the fujo bait is the only reason you play the games.

Personally, I hope there's a shota for /ss/ bait.
>>
>>123016361
>>123016673
Personally, I want /u/-bait. fujo/danshit-bait would be great too though. The best Tales characters are almost always in their early 20s, so I hope that's the main age bracket for the party.
>>
>>123016361
I'm just hoping for a couple that doesn't get fucked over by the end for once. I'm still salty about Jude/Milla.
>>
>>123016361
I want /ss/, or maybe romance between badass femMC meet with badass maleMC.
>Although i sorta have this gut feeling the party will consist of females. In all seriousness, if that happens i'll drop Tales forever, i'd rather play Neptunia.
Kinda agree with you. I rarely play as femMC, i even changed my leader to Joshua when i played TiTS.
>>
>>123000328
Edna is best girl for me, and while I would have appreciated more about her/Zaveid/Eizen, I would not wish it to further detriment Alisha. I do agree however, either reduce her to a Sergei tier npc (they're each other's foils from different countries) or give her better presentation.

>>123002287
I fully agree with this, Xillia was a lot more enjoyable to me. Shop system was more straightforward than the fusion mess.

>>122998410
>Which games have you played?
Ended up checking everything on the list except ToS2 WiiU. I may not have finished all the others, but I've at least either started or own the ones I didn't complete.

Did my share of blasting Zestiria and begged for Innocence R. I've done what I could.

>>123013842

We were on page 10.
>>
>>123017905
>romance between badass femMC meet with badass maleMC.
That would be fun. Jude/Milla was nice but Jude was kind of a bitch for most of the game.
>>
>>123016121
>We must post.
I think this is proof how dry the discussion has gotten. Nothing worth talking about with the game but fanart is more interesting.

>>123019859
A lot of it was discussion with relevant fanart, up until a certain namefag just fucking dumped fanart.

Symphonia and Phantasia, but those got tons of rereleases.

Xillia got close iirc, it broke 500k in Japan but I don't know what the Western sales were like.
>>
>>122976026
Not finished, but reflecting back on what I've played so far. As much as I'm enjoying it, it really is starting to feel like Tales Light.
I was laughing about the "pure-hearted princess being detained by the corrupt government" plot being rehashed for the umpteenth time, but in the end it went absolutely nowhere.
>>
>>123017151
She seems to be the "independent, emotionally distant, stronk and romantically unavailable" type of female protagonist. The fact that she was revealed alone and has that kinda atmosphere doesn't make me expect much in the way of romance. I kinda expect a party like zesteria's again with some teasing but mainly platonic relationships.
She will definitely have /u/ bait too.
>>
>>123020649
Really? Dangan generals died several times and got restarted but they don't seem to get banned
>>
>>123023465
Using common sense I'd say we're probably fine. People who think we risk getting banned are overly paranoid. Try to get to 700 maybe and I'd say we should be good making a new one.

In the meanwhile, we could try being productive and making a better pastebin? Tales titles /tog/ recommends, the more obscure titles and how to play them/watch a translated LP, and so on.
>>
>>123016361
I'd be surprised if there wasn't any. Fujoshi/fundanshi are undeniably a market that's growing more interested in tales to the point where they get explicit pandering these past years.
>>
>>123024279
I think trying to get an actual recommendation list would be a shitstorm. Though maybe we can have a poll to see /tog/'s favorite game if there's a consensus? I like the idea of having information on how to play each title though, and which version of each title is "the best".
>>
Do all Tales games have Malevolence?

Or a common theme of some sort?
>>
>>123025125
The general format for Tales is bad guy who's actually not so bad and has a vision that's misled. There's 2 worlds, or segments rather. As in the normal, base world the MC starts off with then another (be it spiritual or scientific or both) that's beyond their understanding. I use world looseley since it's not always literally a world. You have the 1 party member who's familiar with that 2nd world or related closely to it and the MC brings both worlds together or solves the problem because the 2 worlds generally don't get along.

Oh, and there's always a traitor.

Anyone is free to correct me since I havn't played every single game but these seem to be the base main themes.
>>
>>123025595
Eh, I'd say there are games that aren't in that format. Quite a few have one or both of those parts, but then there are games like Tales of Destiny with a legitimately shitty villain and only one world. Tales of has a lot of running themes, but none that show up in absolutely every game. Malevolence is definitely not one of them though either way. Oh, and there are definitely games without a traitor. None of the sequels do, afaik, and Rebirth doesn't. Phantasia doesn't either.
>>
>>123025595
I hope the traitor in Berseria is Velvet
Sell out your pirate party
>>
>>123029392
Are we even getting a traitor in Berseria? Has it been long enough since Alvin?
>>
>>123030065
I think Alvin sextilion crossed you enough for several games.

How much grade do you need in Zestiria to buy everything?
>>
>>123025595
>>123027240
Great replies. I started with Zestiria so Im sorta a newbie to the Tales universe. I played Destiny a long time ago, ps1 era, but dont remember much other than enjoying it. Think my next Tales game will be Destiny I remember I liked the combat style a bunch.
>>
>>123031071
Something like 14k? There's one thing that costs 8k alone, though, so if you're okay with skipping that you can get by with significantly less.

Good choice. The PS1 version didn't age very well from a gameplay standpoint though. If you can get your hands on Director's Cut it's a massive improvement, but the PS1 version is still good IMO.

It's like that all game. You basically have to dump all of your gald to keep the message from popping up, since there's no upside to stockpiling it.

Director's Cut isn't English, but there's a patch in progress. Emulation depends on your machine, PCSX2 can handle all of the Tales games I believe, and there's Innocence too.

I think Dezel's back story should have been that he was the seraph form of Rose's dad. At that point in the plot they were laying on the "humans can reincarnate as seraphs" plot point pretty thick, and it would explain the memory loss thing a lot more. And his obsession with Rose (though I suppose that just makes it more creepy)
>>
>>123043286

Nice to see that game hasn't been completely forgotten by JP fans, although I would have put in as one of my faves in the characters category too.

Kind of odd how ToL is still the only main game in the series that hasn't really been returned to in any way, not just a sequel but not even a port to any other console since it came out.
>>
>For whatever reason Legendia just doesn't agree with my PC when trying to emulate it

I really wanted to play it after Zesty too, this is suffering.
>>
>people unironically like Legendia

Idk about you guys but it's really underwhelming even for a Tales game.
>>
>>123057194

The character designs have me questioning it but I hear the music is good.

Also rip thread.
>>
>>123057194

The gameplay was definitely lacking but I really loved the characters, they were a lot more fleshed out than Tales characters usually are thanks to the character quests and they changed gradually instead of having some traumatic incident making them abruptly change. Plus the soundtrack was fucking amazing.

Basically the game that would benefit the most from a remake probably deserves it unlike Tempest (although I imagine at this point that's probably cancelled seeing how low the other two vita games sold).

That would mean a massive graphical overhaul and animations. It would cost them a lot more if they decide to make a remake considering it went under the radar, in the west at least.

I'm enjoying the Trial themes, but only the water trial really felt like it fit completely. The wind trial is so sterile a Sakuraba songs would have fit it better.

They climbed the broken stairs on the right at the entrance of the tower.
The game forces you to enter the entrance of the tower by making the characters tell you that "It's gonna be hard to climb" and "It also seems like it will collapse soon."

If it's a ritual sacrifice site, why don't they just fix it up? No point in dying when you only reach the third floor. Also, I found the wind trial underwhelming. I mean, there were 2 people in 1 day that tried to become an hero. How did that girl manage to scale that entire building faster than Sorey? You'd also think there would be more bodies and red splats by the entrance.

Earth trial was by far my favorite just for its simplicity and concept.
