I didn't know a VN besides Katawa Shoujo could make me feel so much

Best written Tales game by far.

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

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

You're late brah. Here, have this cute Velvet.

Are the characters in this game as likable as everyone says they are?

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

We need more pirate JRPGs

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

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

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

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

Probably the best cast in all of the Tales series.

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

WHY CAN'T NAMCO GET BOTH THINGS RIGHT

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

why is the lord of calamity such a QT

>Best written Tales game by far.

Is this supposed to be an achievment? I agree that it is decently handled but it's pretty meh

(You)

>tfw no big bro like Eizen

>picked it up for about $10
>never played a tales game before
I keep forgetting about it outside of seeing these threads.

Only decently written edgelord in vidya.

Can I play this without playing any of the other games? I've played Trails in the Sky but I assume that's not even in the same universe?

>I actually finished dragon quest builders before I opened this
That game has an ending?

>I've played Trails in the Sky but I assume that's not even in the same universe?
What the fuck am I reading

Not edgy.

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

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

Tempest

:thinking:

Yes out of the Tales games that share setting only Destiny 1/2 are directly linked

What did Rokuro do after Berseria?

Go back.

Here's your theme song

Is there any super strong sword demon in Zestiria?

So what the fuck is wrong with Namco? All new Tales of games is all for smartphone, fuck that shit.

When did the combat in Tals get so weird?

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

What happened?

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

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

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

is Laphicet a good god

>I've played Trails in the Sky but I assume that's not even in the same universe?
>Trails in the Sky
>Tales of Berseria
Whatever if Estelle can hug the edge out of Renne she can do it to Velvet too.

>Is there any super strong sword demon in Zestiria?
Yep but he used to be a shepherd.

he's weird and has a thick neck

what do u mean 'but', just play it

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

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

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

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

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

please don't lewd my sister/aunt

>gets married, has kids
You're lying.

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

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

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

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

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

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

They're not blood related.

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

There were several LOC between both games.

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

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

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

Besides he was already a dragon so

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That's a side game

And Xillia 1/2
And Phantasia/Symphonia

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

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

It was about Phi's understanding of humans.

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

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

But it wasn't when it came out.

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

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

I wanna brush Velvet's hair

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

...

Don't let PCfats delude you, female MC's are trash.

Posting best tales when they use to have dungeons

I tried Zestiria because holy shit that OP was so fucking good, sort of fell off around where rose joins, don't really know why.
Is berseria that much better? torrent,
anyone?

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

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

No happy end was available to her.

It's on the usual place, matie.

>Graces above Abyss

This guy...

>No happy end was available to her.

There was if writers were willing.

こいつ

sub or dub?

CPY cracked it not too long ago. All DLCs included as well.

Sasuke's life isn't happy although that's mostly by his own choice

rub a dub, go for a sub.

I wanna impregnate Velvet

I switched between both and the only thing that made the sub better was not having to hear Maokona or whatever the little girl theriot's name is' voice oh my GOD that was grating

>but I'd recommend you to skip him since is the worst Tales in all aspects.
That's a meme and you know it. Everything with 2D system is worse than Zestiria for example.

still in comparison to him Velvet was saint

Graces is way more fun to play than abyss, abyss aged like shit

This, but I had to manually activate them (in-game Item menu), but no big deal there.

Graces is the actual worst Tales game, I put it below Tales of Symphonia 2.

>Katz Korner
>"ACHOO! (sniff)"
hnnnnnnggggg

Symphonia is the only one in that picture with good dungeon.

Nah, it was tedious incarnate, like SMT maze dungeons tier tedious. It also plays like shit.

People like you are the reason why modern tales of ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''dungeons''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' are so fucking boring design wise.

Because following a corridor is just so much fun.
