You shouldn't play any of the Tales games.

You shouldn't watch or play Zestiria period.

>>144059102

The only Tales game Zesteria is connected to isn't even out yet.

Will probably ruin the game for you though.

Don't plan to play any of the games, just want to know if it makes sense to watch the anime without playing them.

Tales games aren't usually connected, so you can watch the Zestiria anime and not miss anything.

Only if you think enjoying the ufotable visuals is worth suffering the fujoshit pandering.

Or if you're a fujoshit yourself.

>>144059102
You are the kind of sick fuck that watched the Devil Surviver anime and never played it

>>144060872
Everyone says the game is terrible anyway.

Having played Zestiria I'm more likely to avoid it forever.

Is the pacing supposed to be this slow?

>>144059102
Yes. Apparently the story is shaping up to be better.

Tales games are largely disconnected from one another. The only connected ones are:

>Symphonia (prequel) -> Symphonia 2 (Sequel set a few years later) -> Phantasia (sequel set at least a thousand years later)

>Xillia -> Xillia 2 (sequel set a few years later)

Zestiria will have a prequel (Berseria), but that isn't out yet is and set hundred of years prior, so how exactly it's connected is not know.
