The golden compass Lyfesette has is one of the keys of the main story. The path the compass shows will lead both his heart and will to grow.
He uses Seirei arts. The usual Seirei in Japanese would be 精霊 (spirit), but his ones are called 聖隷 (holy slave)
>>320498692
>>320498774
喰らう is japanese for "to eat / to devour"
even her catchphrase on the website says "I will devour them" (あいつらに喰らいついてやる) so they just took this word as her last name
>>320499353
So her name is Velvet Devour?
>>320499353
She can devour me.
>>320499651
no idea what it's going to be really localized as but those are the connotations
>>320499353
>>320499651
...So her name is fucking Velvet Devour?
>>320499353
>喰らう is japanese for "to eat / to devour"
That's what it might translate to literally; a sort of very weak pun, but it might have been intended to transliterate to Croix (as in Cross), Crow or something similar.Really though I'm just trying to give the writers some credit, because otherwise that's um, yeah...
>>320499353
It can be worse.
..Somehow.

Congratz on your big discovery mate
>>320499353
Jesus christ everything about this game is cringe. Did a group of preteens write it?
>>320501194
You are aware during that scene you can clearly see them without even moving the camera right?
>post yfw shota isn't main heroine and gets replaced 2 hours in
>>320501619
It took around 10 hours before Alisha left. Kinda feel bad for her.
>>320501619
prefectI'd be sad because he looks interesting, who knows what other party members might come that suck more than he does
>>320501619
>mfw Velvet gets replaced by a loli or shota with an actually good design
>>320501692
Okamura charcters are destined for suffering.
>>320501840
While Alisha isn't my type (I like lolis), I still feel for her. Especially when meeting her again it seems like she's there just to suffer. So I can't help but feel bad for her.
>>320501619
It's kinda odd.
People wanted a shota out of this game for so long now everyone hates him.
>>320501840
That's not unique to her. Everyone had suffering. The npcs, the cast, the player.
>>320501957
Are you kidding? The shota gets more chatter than Velvet ever did. Did you miss all the healer (male) threads? He's even getting more fanart by nips.
>>320501803
So loli Velvet?
>>320502159
I wasn't here for the initial reactions.
>>320502065
>panties shot
I just can't take this seriously. Fuck.Did she die? It seemed that way sadly ;_;
>>320501053
they give her spat to cover her from creepy people like you anon
>>320502267
I think only one kid survived
Many children died during the making of zestiria
>>320502357
>spats

>>320501840
>Okamura charcters are destined for suffering.
Why is that? No seriously. Why does that keep happening? Just what the hell is wrong with Baba?
>>320503185
Name me one character in zestira who does not suffer
>>320503185
He hates him.
>>320503271
saimon, only good things happen to her
It sounds bad, I have no hype for this at all.
>>320503271
Zaveid
I loved his character but he gets into the story with like no room to grow. Closest thing to suffering was him keeping his promise to eizen.
>>320498901
Still doesn't explain why she can't just get a new outfit at some spot of civilization.
No seriously, nothing is stopping her from getting a new outfit. or at least a coat.
>complaining about Kurau when there's been a healer literally named Refill and a smart mage named Genius
This isn't anything new, guys.
>>320503717
I bet you they'll be a skit explaining why she wears her torn clothes
probably for a silly reason
>>320503717
maybe the fact that she already has clothes stops her, you don't complain about the boy buying new clothes either, or about zaveid who doesn't even wear a shirt
>>320503717
What if that's just how she likes looking.
>>320503998
Going around shirtless isn't quiet the same as looking like you got sexually assaulted by a lawnmower.
>>320504148
that's purely subjective, you can't tell someone what to wear
also it seems practical for carribean weather
>>320499963
That's one whore stage name if I've ever heard one. When was the last time Tales had an official prostitute in the main cast? Berseria is looking better and better.
I really hope they release it on PC at the same time they release it in the west.
>>320504068
Then she's a slut, or damaged goods to the point it barely resembles goods at all.
>>320504627
McShota's love will fix her.
>>320498901
I'm usually main the default character/main character, but damn I gonna main the shota since he look like me too much.
>>320504903
you are under arrest for faking moe unless you produce a picture of yourself and prove your claims
>>320505083
Well I'm not exactly anime character, but slim and small build aren't that rare here. Then again average height in my country is 150 cm.
>>320502357
Hehe, they're clearly panties though.
>>320502404
Yeh, I remember Margaret got killed. This one you posted survived along with a shota. No wonder the game got a M with the amount of killed children in it.
>>320503185
>>320503185
Okamura designs are shit boring bland designs. Baba has to do something drastic with them normally to make them even so much interesting.
SUFFERING is just the normal thing for them.
Let's hope the next party member is a cute brown girl
>>320507585
No. Fuck off.
>>320507693
No u.
>>320507693
why not, last time it worked out great?
>>320507693
What about a brown boy?
>>320508989
We're a little maxed out on male members right now. There's no way those madmen are going to make velvet the only femaleright?
>>320509309
What if Velvet is a boy
I haven't visited /v/ in a while. The last /v/ Tales thread I visited was last year when Xillia 2 was just released.
Have Tales threads changed since then ever since the series came to PC? I'm kind of afraid the community now will have the typical PC master race type of folks who call you stupid, look down on you, and chase you away for playing a multiplatform game on a console resulting in the threads not as comfy as usual.
> female protagonist
>>320504068
Then she has shit taste. When will this series go back to the simple but attractive designs of vesperia?
>>320510043
Fuck off shitposter.

But she's hot.

Female protagonists are only good if they're little girls.
>>320501053
>Speak
>Not Talk
This makes me mad for some reason.
>>320510213
I was seriously asking, sheesh.
>>320510106
It's already started to make up for it with the shota. If the rest are good too, I can just throw her out of the party.
>>320510385
Devs were too busy drawing loli pantsu.
>>320501053
I...I kind of want to play Zesteria now
Is she cute

>>320512596

Apparently not everyone in Japan. And that confuses me.
>>320512954
Maybe they got double fake out'd, I know I sometimes do that when it becomes so obvious I think its deliberate misdirection.
>>320512485
Fetishists shouldn't be taken seriously. They always say that. I often read doujins and seeing the author notes them saying they didn't play the game/watch the show but thought the girls were cute.

No, because you're being retarded on purpose.

Look like garbage.
>>320514451
Looks like only the hand goes beastie.
Unless of course she has a total conversion form somewhere hidden.
>>320515171
You know there's going to be a moment where she goes full feral beast and the shota calms her down.

The 2nd pv for xillia1/2 and zestiria all showcase the entire party. Might be the same thing with berseria.
Maybe the lizard man IS a party member? It would not be the first beastman in tales.
>>320517005
Velvet is 19 years old
I'm wondering whether TOZ is to be continued in TOB or TOB TOZ but can say one thing.
Anyway, the Tales series are to die soon.
FOR THE SAKE OF HIDEOUS HIDEO BABA!
>>320517372
Has it been confirmed that this is the same world?
>>320517372
>the Tales series are to die soon.
>FOR THE SAKE OF HIDEOUS HIDEO BABA!
You know, it's not that he's in hiding. It's that he's traveling around the world assassinating the people who don't like Zestiria.
>>320517372
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hideo_Baba
>Since Tales of Innocence (2007), he became the brand manager and the producer of the Tales of video game series.
I'm just glad he wasn't producer for Vesperia, everything after he took over soon went to shit
>>320517583
It's speculation. We see people transforming into beasts and malevolence and a mysterious character in the zestiria anime with a cape emblem similar to a character in berseria. There also characters with masks similar to the seraphs in zestiria.
>tfw use to be a huge tales of fags until graces
I don't know man since Xillia I just can't get hype for this series anymore. Everything is being rushed and they need to change this fucking boring artstyle already.
>>320517747
>Baba takes over
>games get worse
>multiple remakes/upgrades ports
I'm not saying he should get fired. But maybe someone should replace him.
>>320517903
Shit, I was hoping for pirate adventures and sailing to different parts of the continents. I fucking love sailing in games. Oh well, at least Velvet looks as though she can do more than four fucking attacks at a time.
>>320517747
Doesn't baba hate Vesperia because he can't make a good game to top it or something?
>>320518141
Yoshito Higuchi should now be free again after finishing work on the new smash bros
if only he came back to the tales series we might see another symphonia/abyss/vesperia
>>320518161
I feel like most sailing will be in cutscenes. Or we'll have wide open seas of absolutely nothing.
>>320518607
But... But... Sailing... The MC is a pirate with her own ship and crew... Anon, why. Please don't break my heart like this.
It's likely true but I wish it wasn't. It's like segragating the story and the game man. Vesperia let us take on Guil Quests, then there was that town at the endgame that we could help build. Hell I remember playing for weeks just trying to get every special challenge done on every boss to unlock the true knight outfit.
I mean, not allowing us to explore with a boat and killing sea monsters along the way is a massive waste of potential.
>>320518563
>Yoshito Higuchi
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%A8%8B%E5%8F%A3%E7%BE%A9%E4%BA%BA
That's a pretty good list. Though I don't really know what they mean with "special thanks".
>>320515582
I want some Mikleo cameo. Thought there's still the animu and mango for that dosage.
Why the fuck is Zesteria so fucking easy? We finished our second time playing the game(we are at 15hour mark or so) and we have been playing on Hard. Fucking nothing has given any challenge.
Only this fucker was hard because the camera was either too far(on PS3 the draw distance is so small that the battlefield gets too dark so you can't see shit) or too close so you can't see everyone.
We barely use the armatize either. Please tell me it gets harder.
>>320519095
>I don't really know what they mean with "special thanks".
probably a phone call like "hey, how did this stuff you wrote work again, and can we adapt it?"
>>320519225
Chaos mode is stupidly difficult in some areas and piss easy in others. Honestly anon it's not the most difficult tales of game, infact it's probably the easiest.
>>320519053
Shut up and just go replay AssCreed: Nigger Fag.
>>320519225
Battles are just a cluster fuck that is solved by fusion. There are too many monsters on screen half the time and the instant transition sucks. No idea what was wrong with those not even half second ones in Xillia.
>>320519660
I guess Chaos is the difficulty you unlock after you beat the game, right?
>>320519053
>meaningful exploration in a tales of game
this isn't the PS2 era anymore, you won't ever see this
>>320519225
How did you beat the game in 15 hours? I'm 30 hours in and only beat 2/4 trials. Did you skip the whole story and all the side-quests?
>>320519791
>instant transition sucks
>No idea what was wrong with those not even half second ones in Xillia
They wanted to make a "muh open world" game.
>>320520040
I meant, we have spent 2 days playing this game and we have clocked about 15hours at the moment.
>>320519802
acutally you gotta do a shit ton of battles on evil mode
to get evil mode, you gotta do a shit load of battles on hard mode
yay, grinding for more challenge, that makes sense
>>320519802
Yeah, most of the challenge comes from here. All I can really say about it is you probably shouldn't be trying to tank hits in it. It gets a bit bull shit when some enemies attack from all directions and you can't side-step but otherwise it's allright.
>>320520216
I feel it get harder once Alisha leaves. The first boss that caused me problem was Echidna.
>>320517903
with any other jrpg, that would be valid speculation.
but in the case of Tales, they just show similarities because they always just reuse assets from previous games because Baba is lazy as fuck.

He is actually involved in one of the mobile Tales games. Tales of the Rays, I think?
Which is actually great news as it shows he is still willingly to get involved with the series.
>>320522459
did not know that, this is good news
I hope he gets to direct one of the mainline titles again soon, must have learned a lot working on smash
>>320520579

You can put artes on square, triangle, circle and x. Like in Lightning Returns. I think that's everything so far.

>>320518318

>>320526835
it's deeply internalized hate
>>320527060
At least they are being honest. Should had asked for a PC port instead.
Are we ignoring the fact that the healer shota is wearing a dress, a collar, and is literally called a slave?
Like jesus
>>320528894
what else would you do with a shota besides making him a slave?
this is common practice
>>320530475
Will she ever smile?
>>320532092
When shota fucks her.
>>320532092
Well she seems to be the one who teaches the love slave emotions, so I guess so.
