New scan scraps.
I guess Tales is dead on /v/.
New skill system.
>>337147778
I've learned that good tales threads don't really happen until late evening. Also not being able to speak nip doesn't make this shit exciting to me.
>>337147939
Can someone translate this? I don't want an overcomplicated system like Zestiria again. I liked the skill system from Vesperia a lot, being able to inherit them from weapons.
>scans for Oscar and Teresa's info have similar format to playable characters but never said playable in that mess so not sure (don't count this as confirmation)
>Skills are attached to weapon but you can master them and keep them after switching to a different weapon after mastering them (and has master, 3 other skills, and at least 1 random skill
>Yeah it seems Master Skills are permanent once learned, refinement skills are learned through refining the equipment, and random skills are random. Once you've learned the master skill, if you use the equipment the skill will be combined with the equipment's master skill. You can use materials to refine equipment.
>Also, it confirms that each character has multiple Hi Ougi, with varying requirements. It appears the basic ones need 3 BG.
>>337148283
I will count that as a confirmation random gamefaqs guy.
>>337148413
Sounds similar to Vesperia's skill system, but with a random factor. I hope there are still special weapons in the game and that they all aren't generic drops from every enemy like in Zestiria.
>>337148013
I've learned that good tales games don't happen anymore.
>>337146879
Pls be playable
>>337148917

>>337148989
I hope so too.
Is this the new tales with the /ss/? Its my favorite fetish.
I've never liked any Tales games but I'm definitely getting Berseria. I love games where you play as an anti-hero going around fucking up the corrupt 'good' people. At least that's the vibe I'm getting.
>>337149414
>/ss/
No such thing.
>>337149892
Beautiful. I may buy this one.
>>337147939
This right here is the most important thing that needs to be translated. Holy shit fuck zestirias skills system made me want to ruin into a knife.
>>337149414
Tales of Hearts R
>>337149793
>I love games where you play as an anti-hero going around fucking up the corrupt 'good' people.
More like shota cock will make her less edgy,
>>337149892
>there will be zero /ss/ porn and the only stuff involving the shota will be gay pairings with the fujobait
>"Hey kid have you heard, velvet has sucked like 20 different dicks!"
>>337150339
That would be too good to be true.
>Vespy's skill system
Every new info we get shows that they apparently learned their mistakes and are going back to the basics.
But the short development time and tie into Zestiria aren't too encouraging.
>>337151140
>But the short development time and tie into Zestiria aren't too encouraging.
This is what I'm worried about as well. It will most likely mean more than a little copy-pasting from Zestiria.
>>337147778
Tales is dead everywhere. It's the most irrelevant modern jrpg.
>>337151140
Berseria was already in development while Zestiria was as well.
>>337147939
Ok this needs some fucking explaining
Is it bad like Zestiria?
>>337151376
I called it long ago, Berseria will be the Xillia 2 to Zestiria.
>>337147939
>Can see the character with the equipped weapon
I love this shit
>>337147939
I love Velvet's edges.
>>337152396
Thats been a thing in Tales forever.
>>337151376
The town they showed us looks pretty damn similar to Pendrago from Zestiria. We're going to see a lot of copy pasting. But at least the world in Zestiria was a bit okay comnpared to Xillia's copy paste caverns with different colors.
>>337152514
I mean in the menu. I don't remember any.
>>337152679
It's one of the few things they improved when going from the Xillia duology to Zestiria.
It's kind a joke because the engine/camera do have potential for good dungeon exploring.
>>337151979
It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone really. With the shorter developer times comes more copy pasting. Xillia 1 and 2 were especially bad though.
>>337153308
Berseria is 50 hours long which is 20 more hours than Zestiria. They're going to pad it up badly somehow.
As someone who hasn't been interested in the series since Vesperia, this game actually looks pretty cool.
>>337152837
Xillia1+2 had it. And Hearts R I believe.
Based baba saving me $60 by putting it on PC. Asshole's not gonna trick me into buying zestiria 2.0
Which Tales of game should I 100% next?
Only thing left in Xillia 2 is grinding out the titles.
>>337154775
Hearts R.
>>337147939
Why can't we have the Xillia skill system
![PS4-PS3「テイルズ オブ ベルセリア」第3弾PV.mp4_snapshot_00.31_[2016.03.14_10.50.19].png](https://i.imgur.com/fg4RNqY.jpg "PS4-PS3「テイルズ オブ ベルセリア」第3弾PV.mp4_snapshot_00.31_[2016.03.14_10.50.19].png")
>>337148413
Refining equipments how? I just don't want to deal with that bullshit fusing from Zestiria
>>337151527
>What is Star Ocean
>>337157212
I'm guessing refining just means the characters will have to wear the equipment for a number of battles to accumulate "equipment exp" or something to permanently learn the skills. Similarly to how it worked in Vesperia and any other jrpg with similar mechanics.
>>337146879
I've always heard of this series but i don't know what it is about.
Sell it to me /v/.
>>337146879
Is the shota looking at her tits or what?
>>337157967
It looks like hes looking at her hair.
>>337157696
That's fine. As long as I'm learning the skills permanently and don't need too deal with 5 stacks of RNG where skills disappear if you fuck up one fusion.
>>337148917
Pretty much. It's really disappointing after how into Tales I got five years ago. It's one of the (many) things that got me to stop being lazy and start studying Japanese (but not until three years after I started playing Tales games), and now I don't even want to play Tales anymore since the games have been so mediocre after Vesperia.
>>337151527
>It's the most irrelevant modern jrpg.
>Berseria is on the top 10 most wanted games for 2016
It will never be as big as Persona/Final Fantasy/Dragon Quest but I wouldn't call it irrelevant
>Vesperia like skill system
Namco is finally learning that TD is the cancer that hurt this series. Now they just need to remove all their shitty influence.
>>337158838
Berseria trailers have more than 1 million views in total.
Anon is just shitposting, it's hardly irrelevant.
>>337159025
What? Team Destiny games are pretty fun, the gameplay is what they excel at, it's the characters and story that are usually shit.
>>337159357
Pretty much this.
New skill system looks good. Like Vesperia but you can keep farming weapons until you find good random and bonus skills.
>>337159956
That's kinda shit too I don't want to grind for the good skills
>>337161063
What world do you live in where you get skills in an RPG without grinding?
Goddamn it this game looks fucking sweet
>>337162209

Why is she so edgy? Didn't Japan get the memo that edgy characters are a joke?
>>337163267
>thinking edgy characters are bad
They're almost ubitquitiously fun
>>337163267
The standard Tales protagonist is usually a boy-scouts, so Velvet being edgy is actually a good thing here.
>>337159956
>more RNG skills shit
JUST
>>337162782
I just finished playing the first one yesterday and never really grinded. In fact, I ended the game at level 98 without grinding (but that's because a glitch leveled me up 28 times after a boss fight).
>>337164257
I think anyone who says SMT games don't have grinding are either lying or using a strategy guide
Like pierce skills. Good luck realizing in Nocturne that all the final bosses require pierce
Oh wanna use FEATURING DANTE FROM DEVIL MAY CRY? The recurring boss you've had to fight two to four times?
Well TOUGH SHIT KIDDO, HE DOESN'T HAVE PIERCE AND YOU CAN'T DO SHIT WITHOUT PIERCE
You won't learn shit like that without trial and error
>>337163267
>Why is she so edgy?
Her entire family was murdered by a guy who is beloved by all as King of the World, she got thrown into jail for two years, and also she's a werewolf.
Feels bad man
>>337164536
I haven't played the others yet, but in the first game I just shot everything with status inducing bullets and zapped them with Zio spells. It didn't take long to learn how effective they were.
>You won't learn shit like that without trial and error
Oh the horror.
I grinded more in the Persona games than I did the first SMT, especially Persona 3. Now that game felt like a total grindfest.
>>337163267
Totally unrelated to Tales, but King of Fighters almost replaced their main character with someone way edgier when they were making KoF 2000. Even beyond that, Sasuke Uchiha is one of the most popular manga/anime characters in recent times. Japan loves edgy characters unironically.
>>337164971
>You can't get skills in Berseria without trial and error
Oh the horror.
>>337165040
Probably because of how rigid Japan is about rules. Everyone secretly wants to be an edgy badass.
>>337165096
I have no idea what it is that you're trying to articulate. I haven't said anything about Berseria's skill system.
>>337148989
>>337149139
They won't be playable. They might get 20$ 2 hour day-one DLC side-stories, though.
>>337165040
K isn't very popular in Japan, though.
>>337166114
Isn't blazblue popular? Ragna looks edgy.
>>337165559
I don't necessarily want them to be playable.
I like having a rival who I beat to a bloody pulp.
>>337148989
The lighting in that sword clashing screenshot looks exceptionally bad.
>Mixing CC with TP
This is the worst idea they've ever had and I hope no future Tales games have it. Choose one or the other, not fucking both.
>>337166253
Blazblue is popular and Ragna is popular for completely different reasons. He is the nicest and most sane individual in the entire cast. He will shit talk the bad guys though.
>>337166534
Berseria's gameplay looks great though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agygkG0NCrc
>>337166735
And Velvet is a good person too, she just wants to murder the guy who murdered her family
What do you want as a cameo costume for Velvet?
Hard mode: No Yuri.
>>337167604
Which is totally cool. I hope she doesn't end up pussing out halfway through due to story reasons.
>>337167665
Estelle
>>337167604
You can't be a "good person" if your goal is to kill someone
>B-but he murdered her family!
Not an argument, Edgefags
>>337167665
>No Yuri
Damn.
>>337167707
It's a Tales game. She's going to stop because of a moral conflict.
>>337168404
I wouldn't be so sure
Fukuya says it's a darker story than usual, with "themes you wouldn't expect"
>>337168485
We've seen Vesperia and Xillia 2, also they really can't even do killing right going by how they handled it in Zestiria.
Berseria looks alright, but modern Tales games have burned me out.
>>337169173
On the other hand, after Zestiria I'm actually hyped for the return of really basic things just because Berseria looks like it's not fucking them up.
>>337168794
Yuri straight up murdered two guys in Vesperia
One of them was via quicksand!
>>337169412
>mfw Zestiria fucked up skits
Literally how you do that.
>>337169679
Be Zestria.
I wonder how the game will end.
Mostly because of Eizen, for obvious reasons.
>>337169430
And Ludger straight upkills his brother and is also a literal world destroyerin Xillia 2.
"themes you wouldn't expect" my smelly ass. We've already seen plenty of dark themes. In fact I could keep going with this if I had to name other titles
>Phantasia
Family killed-oh shit wait, you mean Berseria isn't the 1st one to feature it? Damn.
>Eternia
Same as Phantasia.
>Abyss
A town wiped off the face of the earth by MC.
Berseria would have to literally go NIER/Drakengard levels of grim to go beyond these. No, I'm betting on it just trying to portray itself as darker than usual via the setting and drama.
>>337170158
Well this is considered a darker installment to the Tales series, so maybe we can expect a bittersweet ending?
>>337150339
Hell, I hope the rival team has a shota of their own.
>>337170426
>Family killed-oh shit wait, you mean Berseria isn't the 1st one to feature it? Damn.
This. People keep forgetting Cless's(And Chester's to a lesser extant) initial motivation was revenge. Cless because of his village. Chester because of that and his entire family was straight up killed.
>>337170426
Oh lord, out of the way everyone, here comes a Ludgerfag, here to tell everyone why his shitty mime is "totes the deepest and best protagonist ever" u guies!
Kek, Ludger was forced into killing his brother, it's the same as killing any other end-game Tales boss
Yuri actually killed people who he didn't HAVE to kill.
Fucking Xillia 2fags. Pretentious gits.
>>337169412
I'll be cautiously hyped, but I fear I'll just be let down again.
>>337170583
Oh boy, I'm bracing for the asspain. I already see so many people complaining that ludger doesn't get his happy little fairy tale ending, the fanbase literally wont survive something more tragic than that.
>>337167361
>improved camera
Thank fucking god. I laughed out loud when I first started Zestiria, it touted fighting in the world as one of its innovative new features and the first thing they do is stick you in a cramped ruin where the camera just freaks the fuck out.
>>337170929
I...anon. Are you okay? How did you interpret my post as comparing Ludger with Yuri? I was agreeing with the post I answered to and was just adding to it to further drive the point: Tales already has dark themes. I like Vesperia more than Xillia 2.
>>337158838
lol Tales is bigger than Persona lets be real.
>>337171946
Is it really? Because atlus has been going crazy with two tv adaptations, a four part movie, annual major concerts, and even fucking stage plays.
I guess this is going to change a bit with the zestiria anime, but it still feels like bamco isn't trying very hard.
>>337172361
Tales has a yearly event with the voice actors and had an orchestral concert not so long ago. Not to mentions cafes and the like.
But no, Anon was wrong, if anything is on a solid fourth place after DQ, FF and SMT/Persona.
It speaks tons that the series is still going strong after the shitfest that was Zestiria.(both game-wise and PR-wise)
These tales titles are sounding really stupid.
It's time to stop.
>>337172803
All of the ones where they make up words sound pretty silly, except maybe Vesperia, which kinda just sounds cool. Tales of Graces was fine.
Tales of Legendia was always hilariously redundant to me.
