I saw Velvet fighting a guy that looked like a Shepard in a few scenes.

It's a prequel though. We know for a fact Sorey/Mikleo/Rose/Alisha cannot physically appear in this game. Edna, Zaveid and Lailah are quite possible though.

If anything, I'm surprised people are against them being connected. This game could potentially fix all the gaping plot holes in Zestiria.

I still think this will be nothing more than a very distant prequel. That may as well been it's own game.

I think baba can do good work (hearts, xillia 2) but he shouldnt of been the main producer of every entry, the series should bring in new people or at least swap between two teams like they used to, and looks like berseria and zestiria might be the one to make that happen again.

xillia 2 is the closest the series has really come to having an outright sad ending, abyss at least is ambiguous enough that its up to your interpretation, so it'll be interesting if berseria actually goes the full on tragedy route with it.

I'm half expecting velevet and crew manage to stop some sort of worldy threat that would of wiped humanity clean but inadvertandly caused the events of zestiria

My problem with Sakuraba is that he'll make like maybe 2-3 good tracks but everything else is just plain generic. Listening to Zestiria's and SO5's overworld theme really shows it. But I admit that when Sakuraba does put effort, he does really good work.

>>334137136
Sakuraba doesnt put much effort into tales cause namco usually asks him to pump out like 100+ songs in the span of a year. When you let him do his thing he will make great music.

Experimental? We already had free-range running in the R titles and in Zestiria itself as an optional skill.
What Berseria is doing with Arte shortcuts is again mostly expanding on stuff like NDX where you could assign Artes to X and O buttons. It has been done before.

don't lie like that, the red thing says "(tales of) overall series IP producer: hideo baba" so he certainly had a role in this game

It's true however that the regular producer of the game is fukatani and the director is tanaka, maybe baba's involvment was very slim or they just noted him as overall producer out of formalities.

There can still be hope

If this is true and the battle system relies heavily on it I guess we can expect yet another Tales game where multiplayer is gimped.

Don't see how, you're swapping in the off field party members in battle. From my understanding you're not linked to anyone in on the field in any way.

Pretty strange if you can only swap in one of the two characters not in battle, but I guess that could be the way it works. Even if it does there are only two characters off field so if for example 4 players would want to swap characters at the same time I could see it not working out. I hope they'll prove me wrong.

How is combat?

>>334142612
We don't know. They haven't really showed enough of it yet. I'll remain skeptical until I see it's not like Zestiria.

We need to see more, but for the time being, it looks like it won't suck to say the least. I'm assuming it's gonna feel better than Zesty, but I can't be too sure right now until I see it in action.

It's just such a pointlessly complicated and unfun system to work with, and I already didnt like dualization from graces. Xillia 2 had a really shitty skill system too now that I think about it. We need to go back to symphonia's T and S style specializations and leave it at that.
>>
>>334143395
I thought Vesperia's skill/weapon system was alright. It encouraged collecting resources and crafting, something Tales games often doesn't have. You also had more control over it compared to Zestiria's system, but I guess that's true for almost all other Tales games.
>>
>>334143468
It had some issues but it was okay. I expect worse from bearseria and about the same from FF XV and P5.

Looks good. May pick up a PS4 by then.

Give me song good Go Shiina songs you autists.

I want to know what he could have brought to the game if he was the composer.

On the topic of Zestiria's skill system; what skill unions should I aim for? I'm on my first playthrough and so far I've mostly found the +20% to all stats to be useful. Are there any other generally useful unions?

Vesp's wasn't necessarily bad kinda hated the compulsive need to keep up with them all but that's on me I guess it was just the beginning of it. It has never been better than Vesp, only bad to worse.

>>334143973
Nothing wrong with Vesperia's.

>>334143973
The ones that aren't tied to equipment aren't that bad? Certainly not the greatest, but not complete shit.
>>
>>334143973
Zestiria's is only one I had a problem with.

No one wants to spend a shit load of time in the skill menu and micromanaging which armor to equip to get skill points lined up right.

Honestly, you can probably just beat the game by ignoring that and just making sure you have the strongest gear.

You.
I hate you.
Do you think Sakuraba's Tales compositions are good?
No, Sakuraba's Tales OSTs are fucking garbage. The bulk of his Tales games' soundtracks are such generic, mundane, run-of-the-mill shit that aren't memorable in the least.

I have no idea what it is. Maybe it's some BS constraints put on him by the Tales team, but his work on the Tales games really sucks.

I've played 6 Tales games and I can't remember a single tune from any of them that isn't the opening theme. The music is just forgettable.

Well that's a little hyperbolic. Sakuraba has definitely done some good stuff for Tales, Shiina is just on another level.

But we already know what the combat is. Each face button is mapped to a skill. Then it's like graces where after you do a skill you're given a next set of skills except this time you can set them. I forgot how chaining past 4 works though but it's no where near as retarded as zesteria.

Vesperia's system was okay. I was fine getting skills from weapons and such, but it was dumb that they made it so easy to miss skills like recover and back-step. Honestly, those should have never become learnable skills. They should have just been innate, like in Symphonia. At least in Abyss they gave you them by default even though they could be toggled off like all others in the game.

Graces was fine to me as well. The Titles were easy enough to follow. Not nearly as stupid as Zesty, and the Dualizing was just an easy way to make super strong gear and make a quick buck by making your shit super high quality. It wasn't that simple, I'll admit, but it was simple enough at a base level to be utilized by even the dullest of players.

Xillia's system was fine because the weapons didn't even affect your skills. The Lillium Orb system for developing stats, skills and artes was super simple. Just level up, and move the nodes around. It's pretty hard to fuck that up honestly, but the freedom might have held back people who didn't know how to even their progression out. I still liked it more than Xillia 2. It was simple, but it was boringly simple.

Personally, although I thought capacity cores were a bit stupid in the grand scheme of things, Abyss did it much better than most post-Symphonia games. Symphonia was alright, but only because it was stupidly simple and non-essential for beating the game on harder difficulties. It basically doesn't bog the game down by forcing you to learn something dumb for harder content, but also allows you to have some depth and develop your characters better for more challenging engagements if that's what you wanted to do.
>>
>>334144923
14 songs from Shiina can't count as OST of the year though, knowing Sakuraba is in it.
>>
>>334144796
Funny how you took that track as an example. I'm currently playing Vesperia and I just got to Yormgen and heard it for the first time last night and I really liked it. So far I've got to say that Vesperia is overall probably one of Sakuraba's better Tales soundtracks. At least out of the games I've played so far.

>I forgot how chaining past 4 works though but it's no where near as retarded as zesteria.

It's exactly the same with a new name.
>>
>>334144628
That's the point m8.
Though I'd say even from Sakuraba games there are a handful of memorable songs for sure.

Have you guys realized that all four shrine tracks actually have the same primary theme, just remixed in very clever ways? It's most prominent between the pairs of opposite-element temples, but all of them share it. It took me forever to realize that the similarities I was hearing were actually rearrangements of the same main melody, but now that I've figured it out, I can't unhear it. Major props to Go Shiina for using a leitmotif in such an amazing way

>The difference is that Go Shina actually cares about making an OST.
Tell that to the guys who keep telling Sakuraba to keep it "Tales-like".

It probably means Baba is broadly in charged of the Tales series but isn't as involved for Berseria.
