>You will embark on a journey and assume the role of Velvet, a young woman whose once gentle nature has been replaced and overcome with a festering anger and hatred after a traumatic experience three years prior to the events within TALES OF BERSERIA imbued her left hand with a special ability.
>The game will explore the confrontation between >Velvet and her strong emotions, and those who forego emotion and stick with reason. The immense power in her left hand is not only key to the storyline but symbolizes her fury! She is designed by Mutsumi Inomata.
Laphicet, a boy who supports Velvet, is designed by Minoru Iwamoto and voiced in Japanese by Azumi Asakura. While Velvet is the embodiment of “Shadow”, this new character is created in the image of “Light”, playing a really important role in the storyline.
>Based upon the series’ “Linear Motion Battle System”, the battle system in Tales of Berseria has evolved in the following ways:
>The player’s default control is free run
>The player can rotate the camera freely
>The player can assign multiple artes to any of the four buttons: allowing different artes to be linked together in attack combinations.
What does /v/ think?
crap, messed up one of the greentexts
>free run battle system
>Artes only, no standard attacks
its shit
I'll buy this once Baba kills himself.
>The player can assign multiple artes to any of the four buttons: allowing different artes to be linked together in attack combinations.
As long as we can assign more than four artes and can pull off some combos, sure. I hated Zestira for all its gay restriction.
Also, better skill system

>replaced and overcome with a festering anger and hatred after a traumatic experience three years prior to the events within TALES OF BERSERIA imbued her left hand with a special ability.
Anime as fuck. Sounds like Blazblue
>>323214395
Can't assume that until we've actually played it ;^)
This sounds like old info. When are they gonna announce the other characters?
>>323215625
I'm worried that this'll be like Symphonia 2 where there are mostly only 2 characters and the rest of your party is mons.
do they fuc?
>Tales
the series has been utter garbage after Graces F
>>323214243
They can Fuck off with female only protagonist.
Just like they can Fuck off with their homosexual content in Zestria.
>>323214243
I think the Tales' series combat is evolving in a direction that I really don't like.
>>323218832
>Female only protagonist
What's bad about this, exactly?
>>323214243
>You will embark on a journey and assume the role of Velvet
>implying I won't embark on a journey as the shota who "definitely no way uh uh doesn't want no /ss/ action"
This nigger.
>>323219027
Most males don't play as female characters because it doesn't feel right and they can't role play in a Role Playing Game.
Those who do are waifus faggots, neckbeards and other sad loners locked in their mothers basements.
>>323219385
no u
>>323215134
Well, superficially. Ragna is pretty much anti-edge in all matters not hazama related.
It's not like red and black themed heroes with powers sealed in their arms/eyes are rare in animu.
I've enjoyed all the tales games to some extent, I will be picking this one up as well.
is baba involved?
>>323214243
>you will be a woman
Stopped reading right there. Thanks OP. Now I know I have no interest in playing this.
>>323221345
stop false-flagging you goddamn nigger
>>323215134
"Super hand" gimmick is pretty goddamn common. Off the top of my head, God Hand, Breakdown, and Devil May Cry 4 all use it.
>>323221579
It's chuuni as fuck. Literally every anime ever.
But it's not like tales ever had a good story anyway
>We've upgraded the battle system
>Something that was already done
>Something that was already done
>Free Run is now default
Wow, genius, awesome, so new
>Main character has anger management issues
>Game is named Tales of BERSER(k)ia
Nice one, Japan.
>>323215134
>>323220602
Why am I imagining Ragna and Velvet arms-wrestling?
I will buy it no matter how shit it is as long as it has my weeb voices
>>323221564
Not false flagging faggot.
I've never liked any game that made me play as a woman with the exception of games that don't make it a focal point like the Metroid series.
Playing as a woman and then having your character respond to shit like a woman is not fun when you're a guy. I don't relate to the dumbasss things my woman character does and says and seeing her tits or ass jiggle around doesn't really do anything for me since I have actual porn when I want to get off.
Male character or option for both or fuck right off with your gay game especially coming from this gay ass director who's going to make it even worse than normal.
THE AGE OF BABAMCO IS HERE
ITS A PREQUEL
REUSED ASSETS
PART OF THE CHALLENGE
OUR GAME IS BUGGY, YOUR CONSOLE IS.
NO MORE FREE COSTUMES
DLC STORY
DLC MYSTICS
ROSE RE-INCARNATED PARTY MEMBER
WE RUSHED IT, SORRY
Zesteria was the worst tales game I've played, and I have no hopes for this, but I'll still fucking play it.
>baba is in charge of the game
fuggen dropped
everything this guy touches goes to shit
>>323222347
>ITS A PREQUEL
There's nothing wrong with prequels by themselves. However I would have preferred this to be a sequel or a new game entirely.
>>323214243
>not designed by Okumura
Oh good, so they won't completely fuck her over in the plot, good to know.
>>323222604
The fact that the aesthetics of the game look exactly the same as Zesteria, that blonde knight dude looks like a gayer Sorey, the fields and ruins shown in the trailer look pretty much copied from Zesteria just means they're going all out re-using assets. Its another Xillia 1 and 2 scenario.
>>323222312
u sound pretty gay bro
>>323222894
Don't get me wrong anon I agree with you that's reusing assets pretty damn hard.
It DOES feel like another ToX2. Where it was more of a expansion then an actual new game.
>>323222312
that's understandable
i don't like games where you're a forced to play as a female too
trough its more of a esthetic reason, generally females in games always dress like whores, see miss just escaped from being raped by bears here
>>323222037
>game is about The Devourer of Stars
>Tales of VESPERia
Fucking Nippon.
>fujoshit pandering
>>323223801
Are you stupid
>>323223801
What?
Vesperia HD remaster when?
>>323223987
Hopefully on the PS4
>>323214243
No one fucking cares, I lost any hope when I heard it'll have a female protagonist.
>Tales of Symphonia
>the world isn't called Symphonia
wut
>>323215789
I hope not. They would probably piss off too many fans. They also need a girly main character in the party to appeal to the female fans plus a waifu character like Alisha. I don't know if the shota is good enough for them. I'm hoping for a manly character even though I like lolis. I'm ok with having a shota instead for one game.
Is Baba involved with this? This will affect my purchase.
>>323223801
do you even understand the words you are using?
>>323225147
As of now so far now one knows.

BABA IS THE WRITER FOR THE STORY AND CHARACTERS

BABA IS THE WRITER FOR THE STORY AND CHARACTERS
BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN AND HIDE THE CHILDREN BECAUSE THIS MOST CERTAINLY WILL BE A RAPE IN THIS DEPARTMENT
So if it's related to Zestiria, why isn't it called Zestiria 2 or something?
Also, will it finally be a Tales game that isn't shit like Zestiria and doesn't throw away all of its potential like Xillia 1 and 2? Probably not.
I remember desperately wishing for Abyss and Vesperia to come to Europe almost a decade ago. And now that Tales is big and actually gets releases outside of Japan, it becomes shit.
I'll stick with Star Ocean, thanks.
>>323225809
I don't think the writer's been announced Senpai
>>323226405
I'm just stirring shit up
but if Baba indeed is involved in it, it's going to be another shitfest
>>323219385
>Most males don't play as female characters
BWAHAHAHA
>>323226920
The world is not /v/, anon, in other worlds, the world is not made of faggots and perverts.
I honestly don't give a single shit about Edge McTits and her pet shota.
They need to detail some other party members already.
>>323227062
>Only faggots and perverts play female characters
What's this have to do with Zestiria?
>>323227298
The Babanic plague.
>>323219027
They're universally awful and pandering one way or another.
>>323219385
>>323222312
>Being this insecure and self-entitled while playing a JRPG
>>323227707
>waah why can't the developers not cut features from games without nobody complaining
That's some pretty good bait tho
>>323214243
Another shit Tales of game.
>>323227873
>Being this insecure and self-entitled while playing a JRPG
>>323227707
Face it, no one who actually plays and enjoys video games more than just political statements don't like female protagonists.
>>323219385
Don't tell me you were pretending to be Cloud and Squall back during the Playstation era.
>>323229182
>He wasn't pretending to be Cloud, Squall, Zidane and Tidus
>Alishafags and Vesperiafags so buttmad that they have to shit up another threads
When will you fags fuck off?
>>323230106
Fuck you, women protags are a mistake.
>>323230106
>MUH ALISHAFAGS
>MUH VESPERIA BOOGIEMAN
fucking babadrones man
>>323230157
too bad its going to keep happening anyway bitch
>>323230106
>still thinking that a poorly written character is the only reason zestiria is garbage
Zestiria babies are hilarious
>You will embark on a journey and assume the role of Velvet, a young woman whose once gentle nature has been replaced and overcome with a festering anger and hatred after a traumatic experience three years prior
>The game will explore the confrontation between Velvet and her strong emotions, and those who forego emotion and stick with reason. The immense power in her left hand is not only key to the storyline but symbolizes her fury!
>While Velvet is the embodiment of “Shadow”, this new character is created in the image of “Light”
this reads like something a 12 year old came up with on deviantart, do talesfags actually like this shit?
>The player’s default control is free run
W-what? Was Zestiria like this? The linear motion battle is an integral piece of this franchise. Are we just done with that?
