Plot-wise, how will you improve Zestiria?

Hard mode: You can't change major events, and Alisha stays being a non-permanent party member.
>>
>>123861551
Give the characters more individually-focused backstories and sidequests. Additionally, give them room to actually react and deal with things that come their way (I get that Mikleo isn't a very open person and I'm not saying him clamping down is out of character, but for fuck's sake he should have broken like three times over. All that "I'm fine" should have been turned around eventually).

Aside from that, I'd say that just fleshing out what was there already would make a world of difference. Foreshadow and explain Dezel's whole deal better. Better cover the whole "oath" thing or better explain HOW Sorey came to the conclusion about how to handle Maotelus.
>>
>>123861551
Do everything the same way the manga does it
>>
>>123862141
fuck that, there's no tickle fight in the manga.
>>
>>123861551

>>
>>123862167
Okay, I'll change it to "follow the manga and have Sorey and Mikleo tickle each other in every cutscene".
>>
>>123862387
acceptable.

every cutscene that isn't focused on them should have them talking about nerd shit or tickling each other in the background
>>
>>123861551
Explain things better, for a start. Like malevolence or how Dezel was able to break his pact and still armatize in the same cutscene.
>>
>>123850275
Man I really like the idea of a pirate mc but I wish it was someone who looked like they'd be fun and not edgy.
>>
>>123864001
I thought it was something along the lines of how he'd "prepped" her ahead of time or something but yeah, the whole thing was surprisingly sloppy. Like Tales games are usually a bit heavyhanded with foreshadowing, here it's like "something something windriders something revenge" to "ACTUALLY DEZEL LITERALLY EVERYTHING WAS YOU FUCKING UP SOMEHOW YOU JUST FORGOT!!"

Alisha follows Sorey during the first war, where they beat up the hellion general. Maltran uses that to declares Alisha a traitor, and reveals herself as a hellion, forcing Alisha to flee with Sorey and Rose.
Introduce Symonne earlier, as the mastermind behind the Archbishop or something, for Dezel backstory foreshadowing. Have her and Heldalfs other two minions attack the party at the trial shrines.

So what's with the manga? Apparently it condenses things a good bit and changes a lot of details up but I can't find anything in English. Is it any good?

So I just kind of noticed that in Vesperia, any time you get into a battle against severely underleveled enemies, Rita begins with a taunt. She seems like the only one who does this. At least, I haven't noticed the others do this.

In Symphonia, every character had a unique line reflecting what you were fighting -- they'd say something different in the enemy was much stronger/weaker than you, or if it was a large group, or if it was huge.
>>
>>123874643
Grune would work better. Even has a hair ornament.
>>
>>123866198
It was really bullshit. Dezel broke 2 rules (the secondary lord can't break the pact and you can't armatize without being a secondary lord) at the same time and they didn't even bother explaining it properly. Having prepared Rose isn't a satisfying justification.

And yeah, the flashback was stupid. It's a shame, because at that point I was starting to actually like Dezel.
>>
>>123875193
Dezel never really felt like part of the team to me, he was more like a passerby so by the time shit hit the fan I couldn't care less about it and him. I really wish Zaveid would have joined from the start but unfortunately the writers thought bad drama and plot holes were clearly the superior choice.
>>
>>123873985
It changes some details and gives the characters a little more development, with more reactions towards some things, like Edna and and the fight between Sorey and Mikleo at the start of the game. Plus, the manga adaptation for the Alisha Story gives Maltran a little backstory and some scenes with Alisha as a kid.

It is difficult to find the raws, we only have the first 6 chapters for now in chinese scanlation. There is a group translating the chapters but they only did it until chapter 4 because it seems there aren't many people doing it in first place. Last time I saw a post by the person doing the translation, they were asking for more people to help.
>>
>>123876126
*like Edna and Eizen
>>
>>123875541
>>123875193

You only really get anything out of Dezel if you find a lot of the discovery points with him in the party, unfortunately. He warms up to things a lot.
>>
>>123876859
He mostly just explains things though. He never really clicks with the rest of the party. Granted he's not really trying to but I think my point still stands.

Which games besides Zestiria and Legendia have the characters writing the synopsis/monster book?
>>
>>123882857
I think the synopsis in Abyss was written from Luke's POV.

The synopsis in DotNW (I know, I know) was written as a journal alternating between Emil and Marta.
>>
>>123884645
Abyss was written as Luke's Journal because of his "amnesia" and the doctors orders. At one point Mieu takes over writing it "because master feels bad".
>>
>>123884805
Ah, right. I like that.

Come to think of it, I think Marta usually takes over writing duty when Emil starts being less aware of what happens when Ratatosk's active. I just remember her pulling something like "I dunno what to write." and filling the rest of the page with hearts.

..Did Ludger do Xillia 2's?

I absolutely loved how they did the monster book in Zestiria but wasn't fond of the voice for the synopsis.
>>
>>123885323
>..Did Ludger do Xillia 2's?
I think so, since I remember people mentioning that when others bring up the "no personality" card.

He's even putting his leg in front of his dick just in case. Meanwhile the two nerds are just spreading their legs like it's nothing, maybe they're used to take baths together or something.

I always enjoy anime/manga adaptions just because there's actually blood. Xillia 2 had it's rating raised for all the blood actually on dead bodies, but it looked better than that moment in graces where Richard murders that guy and keeps stabbing him but there isn't a speck of red anywhere in what could have been a jesus christ how horrifying scene.

I know a lot of people bitch about how broken vesperia is but god damn everything if it isn't the most fun to just dick around with combos in.

Like seriously yuri doing 2000+ combo's is just the most fun shit of all time. I beat all three sword dancers in one combo when I was doing it solo on unknown with yuri. Scary shit though because if they had gotten out of the combo it was a one hit KO since they're so fast.

Something I like about Zaveid is that his flirting doesn't come off as actually desperate or pushy so much as it's just a habit for fun. He's not a complete brainless horndog who legitimately can't take a hint, it seems more like he's been around so long he just doesn't really care how it turns out.

>>
>>123938260
Usually just NG+ with the ultimate weapons.
>>
>>123938260
I could make one for vesperia since that one is actually pretty hard to setup since it involves things like hex editing your save file and grinding out boatloads of things.

For the other games I don't think it'd be that hard to figure out, just find out which skills you'll need, get the hardest hitting weapons then see if you can get some overpowered accessories to spice it up a little.

I would have liked Rose better if she was handled differently. I feel like they had a good concept on their hands but completely botched her plot involvement and development (or lack thereof, really). She ended up being a sue with no growth. I blame the writing team though, Rose can be likable and had potential. She's just trapped in a shit game, like the rest of the cast. Also still better than Dezel

I'll admit, there were a couple times I got extremely lost. The worse time is when I had to take the boat ride up north near Kohaku and Hisui's hometown and I couldn't find the right boat for the life of me.

This was my first Tales game I beat (after briefly trying Innocence DS) and I had a lot of fun with the combat system. Beryl was my favorite character.

I don't think Japs are that big on skin colors. There's all kinds of brown characters who get light skin in fan art though my only guess is because it's what they're used to? Gaius isn't that dark anyways. Too light to be brown but a tan too dark to be light skinned.

He is indeed handsome. I don't know when it started but the Tales guys went from alright to harem status.

SEMI-OFFICIAL TALES OF STORY/CHARACTER POWER RANKINGS!
--
>God-tier
Destiny 2
Abyss
Symphonia

>Great tier
Rebirth
Hearts (R)
Legendia
Phantasia
Xillia 1 and 2 (only combined)
Destiny DC (only if you take into account Destiny 2)

>Mid-tier
Vesperia
Xillia 1 (by itself)
Innocence (R)
Vanilla Destiny (and only if you don't take into account Destiny 2)

>Meh tier
Graces
Eternia

>Absolute shit-tier
DONW
Tempest
Xillia 2 (if you view it as a stand-alone and don't take into account Xillia 1)

Zestiria as of yet is not ranked cause I have yet to start playing and have personally gone out of my way to avoid story/character spoilers besides the whole Alisha vs Rose debacle and Sorey/Mikleo implications.
>>
>>123974502
Vesperia Acts 1 and 2 are great. 3 can go in the shitter though.

>>123974502
>>Meh tier
>Eternia
Bruh

Pretty good list otherwise, this is solid good call on Z
>>
>>123975660
I know Tales always has some crazy final act after the kinda final boss, but Vesperia should have ended with Alexi, then dealing with the Adaphagos(I forget the spelling) and Duke being a tsun tsun ally or dies having faith in assisting Yuri.

God awful as Graces' story was, at least it ended without dragging on too long. The only thing making it longer than it should was the dungeon design. Wallbridge was probably the worst.

I don't count the f.riendship arc as canon.
>>
>>123974502

Story and characters kinda need to be separated. Vesperia has a God Tier cast with a meh tier story.
>>
>>123975875
Honestly objectively speaking Eternia and (and Grace's story for that matter) is not that bad, the only reason I put them into the "meh" tier is because the way they TELL their stories is absolute shit, with both games having the worst pacing in the whole Tales series!

I mean with Eternia the actual plot doesn't really kick in until towards the end of disc 2, and until then we don't get any kind of foreshadowing or development or character engagement or nothing! Its basically just >go to town>go to dungeon to make pact with Summon Spirit>town>dungeon rinse and repeat with little to no exposition or character development, I'm sorry but this trait alone automatically places Eternia's story into the "Meh" tier!
>>
>>123975660
I know, that's why I put it in the Mid-tier instead of Great one. To be honest it's really edged between Great and Mid with it not really neatly falling into either, but ultimately I decided the shit 3rd act placed it more towards the mid-level then the great one.

A strong cast can make a average story good and a good story great. No one gives a shit if a story is has a great premise but can't be damned to care about what happens to anyone

Why is Japan so into mobile games now? Last time I played a cell phone game was like 2006. Is it because they're cheaper to make? Did the japs see how much money Candy Crush was making and decided to join in?
>>
>>123989373
Yeah mobile games are dirt cheap to make and rake in a shitton of dosh, it's a huge industry in Japan. RE: the whole Konami fiasco, objectively speaking from a business standpoint mobages can be/are a lot more profitable than your console/pc games.
>>
>>123987870
The story wasn't bad, the final act just felt forced because "well hey, we haven't saved the world yet and it wouldn't be a Tales game if we didn't". Though I guess at this point we're arguing personal taste
>>
>>123991197
The Justice parts and theme were interesting, but the overarching story with the Blastia and giant space Octopus and stuff was just too fucking cliche.
>>
>>123986000
You know, if official artwork of characters in DLC outfits exist, I at least want future games to change the status image of the character when they wear it. They did it with ToX2 and the returning casts' old ToX outfits. Ir would that be too much effort and they only did that for ToX2 because half the game was already made?
>>
>>123991483
Pretty much. I dug the fact the empire was pretty corrupt and full of bastards committing crimes against humanity, the Yuri and Flynn dynamic, oh hey Raven is kind of a traitor delivering Estelle to Alexei, LeBlanc and his "YURIIIII LOWEEELLL" "Whelp, gotta run", really most of the first two parts honestly. You could cut out a big focus on blastia and still have most of the story, and have the final part focus more on the corrupt empire. I mean, it seemed like a large portion of the council was corrupt, but after Ragou gets waxed we don't really hear anything else about them beyond they decided to support Ioder instead. Really, the story would have been much better if the empire became the main focus over the blastia, even though it wouldn't have apocalyptic implications, but quite frankly "the end of the world" is played so much in jrpgs that it's kind of lost its significance. I always thought the P4 got as big as it did was because it just felt like it was a more small scale, localized event.

Personally, I wish they would just move on from Zestiria. I'm a huge fan of Tales games, but this one isn't sitting well with me. The battle system is all over the place, the camera is beyond worth saving and I haven't really clicked with any of the characters. I'm hoping at the very least Berseria can make up for this, but who knows at the point.

What's confusing about it? Made perfect sense to me. It's spoilers since it takes place after the main story. You can play it any time though, even without having touched the main story at all. Your equips, items, and funds will just be from a preset. The GE2 DLC is not yet released but it's good that this announcement basically ensures that we'll be getting it. You get extra monsters to fight, and the warning probably means you can't fight those monsters as long as you're playing the DLC content.

The only thing wrong with it is when it talks about Alisha's answer. The game itself hates her, and the DLC didn't do much changing that around.

I only think so much on a Tales game based on how much I see put into it. Abyss gives you a calendar, language, currency and prices changing depending on where you are in game, politics, religion, architecture, technology and a ton of other stuff. Graces gives... politics and science kinda?

I see no point in any speculation into Graces' world at all. Even the Amarcians which started out as interesting managed to bore me.

Hey why don't we make a "general review" of Tales games to help out newbies to the franchise on what games to play next? Like a review of the Story, Gameplay, Music and whatnot. We can post a pastebin link in the OP.

Because opinions on all the games are like scalding hot and freezing cold. Like Abyss. You got those who hate Luke and dropped it 3 hours in because it didn't have a Graces tier cast and whine about everyone's personalities. Then you've got the others who praise it and its story and the others who are more or less neutral and hate the missable side quests.

You've also got Graces fans who outright ignored the characters and story and go on about the gameplay (which I think is dumb because you may as well mash buttons to flashy colors for 50 hours if you're not playing a jrpg for story), and the others who outright hate the combat for being over the top and flashy for no reason.

Too many varying opinions to have a single answer to. One can only tell someone to play it for themselves.
>>
>>124072140
Which is why i think we should make a review that everyone although it may seem like a far cry but i think it's not impossible can agree on so people won't miss out on games they could potentially enjoy.
>>
>>124072751
That's not really how it works though. Reviews are a matter of opinion.

The only reason people would miss out on games that they could potentially enjoy ultimately is just that they don't decide to give it a shot.

You could find a handful of people here who thought DoTNW was enjoyable enough and a bunch of people who would dismiss it outright and loath it with a passion. You wouldn't get a balanced consensus out of it. That still means that someone, somewhere could be missing out on a game they could potentially enjoy.

The best anyone could do is compile a list with all mothership titles, including the rejected abortion Tempest, and list general facts. No unnecessary gushing.

Graces:
Breif description of combat system, multiple mystic artes per character (as an added bonus as to why the game is special), -insert general completion time here-

Every Tales has something about it that makes it different be it random battles, Field of Fonons, Linked Artes, pokemon, or whatever made Vesperia stand out.
>>
>>124072751
>make a review that everyone can agree on
I think this is exactly the problem. We'll end up having a review more or less like "If you don't like X in the story of game Y, don't play it. But Y actually has a good gameplay so if you like it, then go and buy it"

For example, I know someone who hated Vesperia, but at the same time we have people who almost worship it. If we are going to make something like a general review, we won't even be able to say that a story is rushed because this is still something subjective.

Not that I'm saying it is a bad idea, but it's not something that you can make and expect everyone to agree

I think the idea of a review in itself is a bad idea. The reason it works for some individuals is because it's 1 person's take on their experience and they may or may not go all out and explain how the viewer or reader may feel. Coming from a group it's too cluttered and the finishing product will have all kinda of mixed opinions leaving even more questions. Every single thread someone asks what to play, and every single time someone will say Symphonia, Abyss, Vesperia, Destiny, Xillia. And then someone will argue muh ps3 Vesperia, or complain about the gameplay/story, and then there's usually that 1 person saying they don't have a ps3.

It's old and predictable.

Honestly, as bad as this sounds, I think Xillia is a fairly good introduction to the series. We shitpost and say people unironically enjoy the gameplay and story, but I think that's because if you aren't at all familiar with the series, the story that pretty much just slams a bunch of plot elements from older Tales games together, and they wouldn't notice flaws in the gameplay. Xillia was my first Tales game, and I loved it, but I went on to play Graces f, Xillia 2, Hearts R, Symphonia, Vesperia, Zestiria, and Abyss, and Xillia has become disappointing in retrospect.

I'd get to the older games like Phantasia or Destiny but I worry it will feel too dated. That was probably my one problem with playing Symphonia when I did, it felt like the gameplay hadn't aged well. I like free running.

>>
>>124064172
How cringe is this?
>>
>>124092550

Phantasia and Destiny are like entirely different games though because they aren't 3D, they don't feel dated as much as just a wholly different style of gameplay.

Tales began on the "linear motion battle system", which in 2D games was actually linear. In 3D games like symphonia, you moved in 1 straight line but there were multiple lines with each character occupying them.

With Abyss and freerunning, it actually deviated from the LMBS into something else.

Symphonia is just in an awkward place where it is in 3D and you think of it having a combat system like later 3D games but it has a combat system closer to the 2D games instead.

With the 2D games the expectations of it behaving like a newer game is gone.

I wonder if in the future people will see Vesperia as a dated game because it does not have an A artes/B artes system.

Vesperia has different enough combat that I don't think it'll really be considered dated.

It's the best of the classic sort of not as fast tales combat before they went to stuff like xillia

Also overlimit is ridiculous enough to make the combat different especially when you get 8 of the damn things at once.

I heard that about the older games. My main concern is if I'll like the fact it's true linear motion, I guess that'd be a better way of putting my concern.

I don't think Vesperia will feel dated. I actually played the PS3 version simultaneously as I played Zestiria. The only thing I thought was combat was initially clunky, but that was more an effect of figuring out the nuances of the combat. The whole A/B arte system has only really been in Zestiria, Graces, and one of the older ones, I forget which, iirc. Granted, that's two of the last 4, with one of the other two being essentially a cut and paste version of the other with minor tweaks. If Berseria follows similarly with an A/B arte system I might say otherwise though. But even so, arte mechanics and movement style are pretty different, and I think movement is much more difficult to adjust to.

If Berseria does use A artes and B artes, I really hope it doesn't put the restrictions Zestiria had on combos. Yeah, some people may say endless combos is broken, and really, kind of is when you could pull off 1000 hit combos in Vesperia without too much difficulty. But long combos in Zestiria, to me at least, seemed more like a benefit of longer grace periods before a combo breaks than actual skill, timing, and rhythm. Combos in Vesperia felt like they got disrupted very easily if you messed up once, but if you git gud that wasn't a problem.

Maybe that's me though.

Neat, so after PCfags got to play Zestiria is it still considered the worst Tales game or were people just overreacting about the whole Alisha thing? Because I just started playing it and while it's not bad I have two issues with it
1. Combat is even slower than Graces
2. I can't believe someone played this with this fucking camera and said "Yes, this is good, pring this thing"

the Alisha thing is pretty bad but it was blown out of proportion. they should have focused on its gameplay issues instead of the Alisha thing.

also just a heads up but if you ship that the game is just going to piss you off so you should probably quit while you're ahead.
>>
>>124119667

I'd say it's fairly average as a Tales game, it doesn't really blow me away storywise or combat wise but I don't feel they're really bad either, just standard fare. I enjoy the supporting cast a lot more than the protagonist, but that's relatively normal for Tales games, he reminds me of Lloyd, just kind of a happy go lucky moralfag who fights for his friends.

The camera is a major problem though. I'd have gladly accepted transitions to separate battle screens to not deal with the camera issues.

Despite not being in the party most of the game, I think Alisha got quite a bit of attention to her character development, more than Rose at least.

Like other anons said, the Alisha thing was horrible, but the game itself is good in some points. The main party is really enjoyable, in my opinion. I think it was the first time in a long while that I liked everyone in it, even in Xillia I had some problems with the personality of one or two characters. The problem here was the rushed story and bad marketing.

Also, if I was you, I would stop shipping them, otherwise you'll be pissed by the end

As an oldtimes Talesfag who felt indifferent about Alisha, it's the worst Tales I've played. I don't like the skills, plot is exceptionally shit even for Tales, character backstory, which is usually a strong point, is sorely lacking. The cast as is is one of the few saving graces, I enjoy the support skills but too bad so much of it is bad.

Overall Zestiria was very mediocre for me. Zaveid and Edna were my silver lining.

The Alisha stuff is pure bullshit but it wasn't a huge issue for most of the game (but it got really annoying towards the end for me). I'd say people were overreacting. Do not make the same mistake I did and ship Sorey with Alisha, though.

I think they focused on it because of what could have been, and this applies to the game as a whole : it could easily have been excellent, but as it stands it's just ok/mediocre.

>>124125984
I'm more amazed at how the game just CONTINUOUSLY shits on Alisha nonstop. Noble knight isn't my type unless it's male, I loved Chalcedony but he had other quirks to him too so she was meh to me, but seeing the glaring contrast at how much the game LOVED Rose and HATED Alisha was staggering.

Maltran was a wasted character. She could have had potential but you don't even get a reason about why she chose to join kittybeard.

>>124122468
Which is still a tiny amount, I don't feel like she really grew much aside from understanding how hard it was to mediate between her ideals as a knight and backstabbing politics of the country.

Granted, it's a step up from Rose who's gotten zero development whatsoever, so.

They could have just handled things so much better. I see a sea of wasted/squandered potential in Zestiria and it's depressing.
>>
>>124128003
In the desert, after you beat one of the Gorgon sister Hellions situated north-center of the map. Skit pops up after you beat her.

>>
>>124128108
Zestiria was clearly rushed. That ending in particular left such a bad taste in my mouth that I don't even know what to say about the game.

I thought it was actually better than xillia and xillia 2 while I was playing but right at the end they just fucked it all up HARD.

>>
>>124128108
>how the game just CONTINUOUSLY shits on Alisha nonstop

That's why I said it got annoying towards the end. Maltran was wasted potential, and there were a few moments especially after Maltran's fight where it would have made sense for Alisha to join the party.
It would have allowed her to actually achieve something and her suffering would have stopped. That and noble knight is very much my type.

Some anon argued with me a few threads back that it made sense for her to not join and deal with the peace treaty, because it's what she's worked towards her whole life, and he was kind of right, but I still think having her join for a some healing with the party after all that suffering would have been appropriate.
>>
>>124128758
Vesperia still has the most rushed ending in the series as far as I'm concerned. Beat boss, destroy Adephagos, roll credits.
>>
>>124129672
I still don't get what is peoples problem with the third act of Vesperia. It's a little weird to shoehorn in spirits at the last minute but that's about all I can think of.

Also in zestirias case the final boss was a horrible disappointment. Duke was the best tales final boss, especially if you consider his third form.
>>
>>124129672
and it was such a shame because it was my favorite tales world and it had my favorite cast
>>
>>124128758
Each to their own, I enjoyed Xillia a lot more because you really learn about the backstory of the party. Shop system, skills, and lithium orbs were a lot more straightforward, my only gripe with the combat/skill mechanic was how it was impossible to remember all linked artes so I have to keep opening the menu.

Oh yeah also how the input for mystic artes is the same on every level in Zestiria drives me crazy. I constantly try to go for the BG5 one because I have enough BG stocked, yet my controlled character ends up performing the BG3 one 70% of the time.

Plot was nothing special but more thought out than Z. Heldalf literally got more backstory than like Zaveid, Edna, and Lailah combined, and that's a huge turn-off for me. In the villains department Symonne also got the shaft, why did no one appreciate her powers? How was she cursed? There is absolutely no contest, pitting her and Maltran against the Chimeriad.

Lord of the Land is interesting, and while making money is easy, a % off your total amount for quick travel is not something I'm a fan of. Z is also very grindy, which also applies to the skill system, and while it's an optional challenge to take on, I just don't find it appealing. At least the character specific link support and personal combat skills were fun and unique, they really highlighted how everyone is different. Armatization is fun, but the 2 humans/2 seraphim restriction is maddening, even if it's done for plot reasons. Going from older tiles to this, it's staggering to see how BACKWARDS Tales has gotten in terms of party member flexibility. X lets you switch in mid-battle, which was great. Then X2 only lets you do it in towns, annoying but sure. And in Z 2 slots are locked at all times? The auto Seraph assigning during key story battles didn't help, I found them very disruptive and annoying.

And it goes on, but I should get off my soapbox now. TLDR Z was very mediocre and disappointing
>>
>>124130329
My reason for liking it better is absolutely ridiculous I must admit. I think xillia is a better game overall but I enjoyed Zestiria since it kind of brought back that feeling of medieval adventure that I originally liked tales for. Xillia was just so contained and boring to explore so when Zesty came around it was really nice to have a bigger world map and some neat places to visit, even if they're just re-skinned dungeons.

It was a step in the right direction for tales I feel, so if they flatten out all the kinks from zestiria and work hard/not rush berseria we'll definitely be looking at a great tales game.
>>
>>124129885
I was just talking about the ending. I actually enjoyed the third act a lot and Duke's third form is one of my favourite bosses in the series. It's just that what came after this boss was underwhelming.

I hated the final boss of Zestiria the first time I fought him, but I as severely underleveled. I tried him again after some time in the EX dungeon at a higher difficulty and thought he was rather enjoyable.
>>
>>124129329
I have no opinion on whether she should have joined or not. A case can be made for both, but it would have definitely given us the PLAYERS more fun if she came back. A character with a different fighting style, different set of artes, and may participate in party skits. The DLC skits just make me more mad too, because they're all great - ESPECIALLY at showcasing how great it would be if you could have all 8 members interact with each other.

But I can pin it on the rush, too. I have a feeling Alisha stayed locked out for technical reasons, the most obvious one being the party member max size restriction of 6.

>>124129329
But she did ultimately achieve something. Her hometown was cleared of malevolence and she stopped the war. I didn't mind her having her own goal and set out to achieve it rather than just tag along the mc and being a non character.
>>
>>124130865
Oh that's completely understandable, yeah the world in Zestiria is a lot more medieval fantasy. But it all just loops back to wasted potential. X may feel unfinished but at least it was like 80% of a whole game, in which that 80% was done but the final stretch was missing.

Z on the other hand was like dumping a box of jigaw puzzle pieces, taking out a good third amount of pieces randomly, set those on fire, and then try to make a complete puzzle out of it.

Let's hope they don't rush Berseria, but my hopes are not high.
>>
>>124131312
Different anon, but I think my main problem with Zestiria was that I found it good, but by the end I wanted to know more. About the world, about Zaveid's backstory, about Maltran, Eizen, the Five Lords, and other things. The game was good FOR ME because of the atmosphere and characters but I wanted more. I'm neutral with this kind of feeling because it's not the first time it happened in the franchise, and I doubt it'll be the last. But I can understand why people got angry with it, I guess.

I envy you. That said, I won't claim Z was terrible. I love Tales as a whole, Z for me was just very mediocre, it disappointed me as a Tales entry. I wouldn't tell friends who are interested to avoid this game outright, I WILL tell them to wait for a Steam Sale because I don't feel it's worth it full price. Heck, people not familiar with Tales are likely to enjoy it more. Having played and completed 12 out of the 16 mothership titles, I'm naturally more critical.

It's only been a year since the release of Hearts R, could still possibly happen.
>>
>>124130962
To me it doesn't make sense for her to be cut because of the party restriction.
She was extremely popular from the moment she was announced (she had a lot of art on Pixiv), and there's no way Namco didn't know this. As such if they were forced to cut a character because of this limitation, I'm pretty sure they would have cut Rose.

To me it feels like they didn't bother reintroducing her later in the game because they wanted to sell the DLC, but it's just a conspiracy theory.

>>124131197
She didn't really stop the war, the party did. And she wasn't with them. She just ordered her soldiers to throw arrows while waving her spear around. The only really major thing she achieved was the peace traty, and we didn't even get to see it. She's a NPC with DLC costumes.
>>
>>124132475
Oh I can understand that. I also miss how the series was before, and I wish they could hire more writers because, at this point, the plot for a lot of games are like this:
>There must be a war
>Two worlds
>A traitor in the party
>Subplot with politics that can easily be forgotten so the party can save the world(s)

I think it's because of this that someone who never played Tales before can enjoy each one of them, because they won't see some things coming. Hell, I got surprised because Zestiria didn't have a traitor.

>About Innocence
There was a day that I saw a compilation of every opening for each mothership title, but they forgot the two openings for Innocence. It was sad.

Looking through the tag from the beginning she was really dwarfed by Sorey in terms of art. I'm surprised how fast fanartists took to him, I thought she would have had more.

I could have sworn it was Innocence, Tempest, then Vesperia, but I could be wrong. Takes more effort to look up too since Tempest was so bad Namco just said it actually isn't a mainline Tales game

If we wanna talk conspiracy might as well let the whole BABA SELF INSERTED AND FORCED HIS VA WAIFU IN THE GAME shebang (let's not). It did really irk me to find ribbons and spears in endgame shops, I pity the people who kept buying Alisha specific gear just in case but end up wasting all that gald.

>>124133320
I don't have too big of a beef for the plot, personally. They're cheesy, predictable, and it's fine. The cast and the overworld were still charming, the battles fun. This was true from Phantasia to X2, in my opinion, Tales just usually has a very strong cast, and a vast array of other small things that made the whole still good, fun, so that the cliched plot can be overlooked.

>they forgot the two openings for Innocence
>forgot opening for Innocence

holy SHIT. Innocence's OP was GREAT, KOKIA is amazing. HOW DARE
+1 to being surprised about no traitors, I even played the "guess the traitor" game with some friends and it seems like we all lost, lol. But yeah, in this case the other stuff in Z just didn't add up enough to balance the entry out, so the blandness of the plot just became even more apparent.

>>124133710
Hearts R is a ton of fun. The AI is actually smart too, as some anons and my RL friends have confirmed. I do hope you get around to soon, you have some really strong support characters as well.

Innocence has this reincarnation from demons thing going, so it was neat to not only know your party but also learn about their past lives. That aspect at least really broke away from the classic Tales formula, and gave the cast a different dimension that Tales characters normally wouldn't have.

I recall being kind of hyped when they first announced that Hearts was coming over, but that had dissipated by the time I actually got my hands on the game. Limited Vita memory didn't help.

Still I definitely will give it a try at some point, it's cast has their own appeals as well.
>>
>>124134447
The thing is it makes little sense to me that the team or the higher ups would have let Baba "force" his waifu in the game, while Namco making Alisha DLC is the kind of decision I woudn't be surprised by. If it's because of the VA, it's stupidity. If it's because of the DLC, it's greed.

The result is the same anyway and it's still a conspiracy theory, so you're right, there's no point in discussing it much further.

The one thing about Hearts R is the JP voices are sometimes blatantly different from the localization, but at the same time you can tell the loc team had a blast translating this game. Hearts R is nevertheless hilarious, imo it's the funniest entry in the series.

>>124135356
Yeah, it is what it is. Whatever they did, the result still feels like a hollow shell, with the kicker being that you get a disctinct image about how there could've been so much more.

A conspiracy theory isn't necessary in order to condemn the company for the game. If they were generally incompetent and just bumbled into these mistakes, then that means Tales management is terrible (though we knew that already). If they went out of their way to remove Alisha in order to sell more DLC, that's an abhorrent way to treat your customers, several levels worse than the costume bullshit they've been doing for years. If Baba somehow has that much control over the game and changed the game in order to try and get his dick wet, then not only is management incompetent but Baba specifically needs to be fired.

Either way this discussion is completely pointless. Bamco is a business first and foremost, and money is the only feedback that actually matters to them. If people keep buying their games there is no reason to improve. It's like that fucking COD steam boycott picture, literally nothing you says matters to them because they know you'll buy their shit anyways.

Everyone hangs out in a hut to escape the never-ending torrential rain. Dezel and Edna harass Mikleo because apparently Dezel saved Meebo's life the day before and Edna is taking the opportunity to pester him into the appropriate level of gratitude. Everyone who's not a bickering child is looking outside, concerned about the storms. Then corrupted dragon Maotelus shows up and probably Godzillas the little hut with everyone inside it.

Been playing Hearts R on my iPad Air and it runs great. The only problem is it is only on the Japanese AppStore so, I hope you've played before or follow a guide.

I only got completely lost once or twice. Thankfully most of the menus and tactics/strategy/gambit are translated in certain guides.

Definitely an amazing game and as my first Tales game, set the bar pretty damn high. Will probably play Zestiria next, for better or worse. All the Sorey/Mikleo homomance I've heard about does turn me off.

I'd really love to play Vesperia - Yuri's mature attitude sounds great over the simplistic MCs like Shing - but I don't have an Xbox or PS3, Alas.

Symphonia is coming to steam next year right? Looking forward to it, and I hope more Tales are ported to mobile as well, a la Dragon Quest.

Also, I like how the animal ear attachments in Hearts R change colors based on who wears them, e.g. cat/rabbit ears are black on Kohaku but blonde/tan on Beryl.

I'd believe that if Namco weren't greedy assholes. And those kinds of agreements are the kinds that people will get fired for openly admitting. I've heard of employees getting fired for admitting that something didn't sell well. Bad business practice. Though it may just be a result of poor or lower than expected sales on the international 360 release, though I could be talking out of my ass because I don't have the actual sales open or anything. But really, management at Namco is stupid for not expecting that a game with an anime looking cover wouldn't sell that well on the dudebro console. I swear companies only look at sales without critically thinking about what the numbers mean. That would require require effort though. Yahari BN

nah, there was a girl who was pretty pink. kind of magenta? she was probably fire. think her name was Melody.
>>
>>124245640
well, they talked about the wind carrying things and the novel's epilogue mentioned the same at some point so I just made a connection.
>>
>>124245390
I could be reaching but if it's tumblr people then maybe it has something to do with them drawing him brown.
>>
>>124245964
The skit is more or less about Zaveid explaining how he learns about things from afar and basically hinting that he heard something about "love" regarding the two and Sorey doesn't really deny it but Mikleo says it's the kind of thing that they'd never talk about to him. I'm not sure what connection there is to make, but then I don't know anything about this novel.
>>
>>124246164
Because they need to feel special by going DIVERSITY and doing there own thing and ignore canon even though Mikleo's got the skin tone of a dead person whereas Zaveid is actually pretty brown (but they won't draw him because he's a straight male who casually hits on girls and even though he's not really all that serious about it that makes him Satan).

Oddly enough for nobility Alisha actually seems a bit darker than the other girls. East Asia tends to be sort of archaic about that kind of status symbol.
>>
>>124246954
brown Mikleo is a crime against humanity
>>
>>124246954
I'm not trying to be all sjw, but aside from Zaveid, I think the whole cast is white. So I dont really see a problem making Sorey a little toned (which looks good on him imo).

No, I dont think they should do it to the whole cast, especially not Mikleo, but there's no harm in some delicious brown boy.
>>
>>124232272
>implying he wouldn't become a horny seraph like zaveid after 500 years trying to relive his youth through various shepherds

Ok anon, it's not like I said you have to agree with it. It's just a leap my mind made when I was thinking about what kind of seraph he'd be. And to be honest of course you wouldn't be sure since you literally admitted you didn't know the other thing I was referencing.

What kind of logic is this? I don't care much about this to be honest but that first comment was right. If this is about diversity/represantation/whatever then draw the actual not white person instead.
>>
>>124242196
My expectations of the cast were mostly off the mark, but I hadn't read their bios before playing.

>>124247446
Mikleo is as pure as his vanilla ice cream.
>>
>>124247451
It's just a conversation, no need to get mad.
>>
>>124247904
Yeah, I see what you're saying and I agree because I love Zaveid and would love to see more art of him, but the fact still stands that almost the entire cast is white, including the main pairing (regardless if you take that to mean Sorey/Mikleo, Sorey/Rose or Sorey/Alisha). People make white characters brown because they want to see themselves in games, they want someone to relate to. Having one ambiguously dark skinned character is not a good representation of all the dark skin colors in the world. People want the game to be a better reflection of real life, is what I'm saying. And dont start on that 'well magic and seraphs aren't real life' crap.

But this is Tales, which is made by a Japanese developer for a primarily Japanese audience, and most of the cast is white for the same reason that Sorey and Mikleo are not a full fledged canon pairing. Pale skin and straight (or just not gay, as it were) is more acceptable to a Japanese audience.

I never saw any bios, but all I remember of early material showing Mikleo was that he was NEVER smiling or really emoting at all. He looked like he was going to be a mopier Leon/Judas or something. And while he is generally reserved, he's still capable of smiling like an idiot or losing his temper.

>>124248469
Like I said, it's an archaic view but it's hard to shake. Japan itself is pretty homogeneous, and in East Asia the stigma of darker skin = lower class/less attractive is deeply ingrained. There's this one particular Indian actress who's fucking gorgeous, but tons of people, especially older generations, still look at her and say "it's a shame she's so dark, she could be even prettier." And tons of skincare products are specifically made to whiten the skin.

It's not wrong to want to have some representation here and there at all, and a bit of artistic interpretation can be fun, but on the flip side when you start deviating from the source so much, it starts to seem like the source isn't actually what you like or care about, you know? You're not liking the character for being themselves.
>>
>>124248762
Because the half of the information I did have you seem to have greatly misinterpreted to mean something it doesn't. Unless you care to explain how "Zaveid collects info carried by the wind" to mean "Sorey has a connection to the wind."
>>
>>124249259
Yeah I agree, but in regards to Zestiria I havent seen so much deviation that I would say that they characters weren't even themselves anymore (except the one picture of ugly brown Sorey crying. you all know which one I'm talking about), so I dont have a problem with it.

Admittedly though I'm kind of a hypocrite, because in the past when I've seen white characters that I really like drawn dark skinned I get pretty annoyed. I dont start shit with the artist about it, but it just bothers me sometimes. The dark skin just seems to fit for Sorey, though, but thats just my opinion man
>>
>>124249385
But I already said I was just referring to "the wind carries things in general" part of that convo not Zaveid specifically. And I connected it to something said in the half you did not have.

I dunno, I always imagined that as a kid Mikleo at some point would have figured out that Sorey wasn't going to live as long as everyone else and it would be like a child realizing their pet goldfish would probably be dead in a year or two and freaking out over it.

>>124251268
and that's when he learned how to make ice cream to force feed to Sorey while he was too busy being a nerd and reading books to eat properly.

Question about seraphim. Not all of them are reborn humans, right? Do they just appear or what? Zaveid seemed surprised that Mikleo was ever a baby, and I think Lailah said that Edna and Eizen aren't siblings in the way that humans are. So there are no seraphim mommies and daddies?
>>
>>124252181
You know, in terms of traveling this group really has it easy. If they need a water source, they have Mikleo. If they need fire, they have Lailah. Edna could make a shelter if needed, plus if it came down to it most of the party doesn't need to sleep or eat so rationing and lookouts would be easy to take care of.

Do you think we will see Legendia and Eternia costumes in Berseria? Obviously Legendia is in need of some love since I believe it's only had one since Vesperia and it was exclusive to the PS3 version. And all I can think of is Farrah for an Xillia character (please correct me if i'm wrong).

I just hope they drop the obvious abuse of Leon/Yuri. It's getting a little stale.

Just finished Zestiria with a friend.

I cannot believe that the flashback at Camlann was not a cutscene. It was the single most important moment in the games narrative and it looks like shit.

Also, Sorey was like "Everyone is equally to blame and no one was completely in the wrong"

The fuck? Yeah, Hedalf was an asshole general but Michael literally sacrificed his sisters child to curse his enemy. The former Shepard was a monster.

not just a monster, he caused most of his problems himself. he moved Maotelus and possibly the other four great lords without telling anyone and then got butthurt when an army camped in their new shrine that he didn't tell anyone about.

he had good reasons for it, i guess, but that one decision he made not to trust any other humans at all fucked the entire continent for about 20 years. and if he HADN'T committed that monstrous act of sacrificing a baby, Heldalf would have died anyway.

Other thoughts/issues:

So Michael wrote the Celestial Record? That means this super important book that people study is less than 30 years old?

For that matter, people act like the Shepard is some sort of long forgotten myth when the last one was less then 20 years ago.

Why did the game go through the whole song'n'dance of "We can't just kill Hedalf. We have to find an answer" only for the answer to be "Kill Hedalf?

Why did Alisha's country treat her like shit? The top advisors openly try to murder her with zero repercussions.

Why does Sorey and co let her go back alone after Marlind? This was less than a week of ingame time since her attempted murder. This seemed very out of character for him. Of course this leads to her immediately being kidnapped.

I'll won't bitch about Rose because that's old hat except to say that Sorey being okay with her assassinations is incredibly out of character for him.

The whole "negative emotions make you a hellion" mechanic of the world is terrible from a narrative perspective. This does a number of bad things

>This rewards people for having no empathy and being uncompromising in their worldview

>This punishes people for having self-reflection and pathos

>This absolves people of being responsible for their actions. That serial killer or rapist? He's just a corrupted human. Purify him and everything's okay!

The game did a poor job of differentiating Material and Hidden artes. In Graces every character had two fighting styles so A and B artes felt very different but in Zesty it seemed pretty arbitrary what ended up being which. Tiger Blade was Martial but Lightning Tiger Blade was Hidden?

Okay, so the game had an both an elemental AND creature type weakness system? Easy fix! Just make Martial do creature type damage and Hidden to Elemental, or vice versa. Oh, wait, nevermind.

Also, why was Michael so incredibly fucking weak? Hedalf pushed him around like a highschool bully.

Why did Lailah leave Michael? Does the Shepherd just retire? Where was his other Seraphim buddies?

What are these Oaths that give you such amazing powers? Who do they make the Oaths too? How are the terms decided? Everything about them seems completely arbitrary.

How did Hedalf's plan to make start a war to make a dragon fit into his overall plan? Was he just being a dick?

Why was Mikleo not being a sublord preventing him for joining the fight even an issue? On the trip to Ladylake he wasn't a sublord and he fought just fine. Why did he have to contract? Sure, he couldn't purify a hellion but having an secondary tank/healer/spellcaster on the team would be nothing but a benefit.

What the hell is Seigfried? Where did Zavied get it? Why can it kill Hellions?

What is that thing that Zavied has in the opening? I guess it's an Iris Gem?

>>124267075
Grasping at straws in other questions because the game needs to explain shit better.

> So Michael wrote the Celestial Record? That means this super important book that people study is less than 30 years old?
30 years old is a lot, and it seems like not as many people as it seems treat it that importantly. Most people take it as fairy tales.

> For that matter, people act like the Shepard is some sort of long forgotten myth when the last one was less then 20 years ago.
Michael wasn't very overt on being the Shepherd, not a lot of people probably knew he was one. Heldalf did, but he's a high-ranking general so he could be some part of inner-circle that did

> Why did the game go through the whole song'n'dance of "We can't just kill Hedalf. We have to find an answer" only for the answer to be "Kill Hedalf?
It was more about finding out why you need to kill Heldalf rather than finding a way to save him. Killing Heldalf prematurely just causes godzilla Maotelus.

> Why did Alisha's country treat her like shit? The top advisors openly try to murder her with zero repercussions.
Alisha's a low-ranking noble, her mother's just a commoner. Also no one treats her seriously because in their eyes she's trying to find answers in things that don't exist.

> Why does Sorey and co let her go back alone after Marlind? This was less than a week of ingame time since her attempted murder. This seemed very out of character for him. Of course this leads to her immediately being kidnapped.
Probably because Alisha wants to leave out of her own accord and Sorey wants to respect that. It doesn't look like he knew she was leaving because of the blind eye issue.

> I'll won't bitch about Rose because that's old hat except to say that Sorey being okay with her assassinations is incredibly out of character for him.
Hell if I know, because she doesn't kill people unless it's absolutely necessary? I can see the other seraphs (sans Mikleo) not having a problem with it though.

Negative emotions = monsters isn't a new thing in JRPGs, Persona's doing it for years. From what I see it malevolence only turns you into a hellion if the negative emotions are enough to make you want to destroy something. (Wish they actually pointed this out in the game though.)

>Also, why was Michael so incredibly fucking weak? Hedalf pushed him around like a highschool bully.
>Why did Lailah leave Michael? Does the Shepherd just retire? Where was his other Seraphim buddies?
Yeah, Michael retired. He's pretty much just a normal human who can see seraphs by the time Heldalf crashed into his village.

>What are these Oaths that give you such amazing powers? Who do they make the Oaths too? How are the terms decided? Everything about them seems completely arbitrary.
You sacrifice something important to get power, equivalent exchange and all that. There aren't any specific rules to it.

>How did Hedalf's plan to make start a war to make a dragon fit into his overall plan? Was he just being a dick?
Heldalf just wants to destroy the world. Wars and dragons naturally help cause that.

>Why was Mikleo not being a sublord preventing him for joining the fight even an issue? On the trip to Ladylake he wasn't a sublord and he fought just fine. Why did he have to contract? Sure, he couldn't purify a hellion but having an secondary tank/healer/spellcaster on the team would be nothing but a benefit.
Because Sorey's being idiot and thinks Mikleo's just being self-sacrificial in tagging along. Mikleo would have been affected by malevolence soon enough if he didn't become his Sub-Lord anyway.

>What the hell is Seigfried? Where did Zavied get it? Why can it kill Hellions?
It's from another continent

>What is that thing that Zavied has in the opening? I guess it's an Iris Gem?
It's his pendulum

Zavied hand waves the whole Siegfried thing with "I don't know," and "I don't remember." It's his pendulum, you can see the wire.

Other games have specific conditions that need to be met in order to turn you into a monster, be it evil magic, a certain environment, etc.

"Everyone who gets enough negative emotions to want to destroy something turns into an immortal monster that only one person can stop" is world breaking. It makes the world not function.

Really, Zesty has a really strong cast and a solid ending but the story has huge huge problems. Hopefully the ToZ anime will make it work a bit better.

>It's his pendulum

Oh. Duh.

Before Sorey becomes a shepherd, he and Mikleo aren't purifying the hellions, they're just beating the shit out of them until the hellions run away. As for the rest, somethingsomething NOT YOUR DREAM, MIKLEO something.
