Baba wanted to bone a voice actress, so Baba makes her character a bigger deal, a different character has a more marketable design, so she gets pushed.

Either way baba doesn't care because the series is basically running on an asscreed sweatshop schedule, every year a new Game, cheaper, faster and less time for frills.


i miss Symphonia letting you ship the MC with who you wanted feature. [Spoiler] It'll never EVER happen again because it's too frivolous in the cheap budget modern Tales. I totally would be into Besera letting me decide which penis will heal my Chuunin vagina.

I really like the world if not for the copy pasted dungeon

Its huge and long but since all the treasures in the games are useless shit (and considering how the fusion system works) its not even worth it to explore

the game doesn't do the soundtrack justice
>>
I just picked this up again because I forgot to complete Alisha's story after completing the main game.

The final dungeon was so horribly designed I was physically nauseous. Fucking 11 floors of the same shit over and over, enemies that give you fuck-all exp and gald (not that there's a real reason for it anyways) despite their ridiculous HP, having to play without Zaveid for 8/10ths of the DLC and no Mikleo except for the final boss which doesn't matter because it's weak to Wind anways, and having to deal with Rose STILL being shown as the better person than Alisha.

Worst part is it leaves a cliff-hanger as if they would ever fucking continue this bullshit after what Baba did and the outrage received.

Worst 4 hours ever.

I enjoyed the main game, though. Many downsides, but just being able to play Tale's Linear-Motion Battle System is enough to make me have fun.

>>332367174
It's fucking Legendia all over again, just without the top-tier characters and story. The underwhelming battle system and copy-paste/back-tracking dungeons being carried by Go Shiina's drops of gold.

Even the two worlds/two races concept isn't really that significant in Zestiria.
Well, the two worlds bit, anyway.
I mean, we have the Seraphim, so there's our second race, but their existence didn't feel that significant to me in terms of the plot. Maybe it's just that they were there from the beginning, so they didn't feel special?
>>
>>332368051
Abyss was not that great. That battle system was arguably one of the weakest, bar Legendia, and the character development dragged on way too long in the first half.

If anything Legendia deserves a remake more.

they should have rewritten rose's story.

take renard out of the story, make him a masked female assassin.

characters don't know why rose's murders don't create corruption.

turns out rose subconsciously created masked assassin girl and she is the accumulation of rose's corruption.

rose and rose's darkness dramatically face off at some point of the game.

All I really ask is that the Tales games just run smoothly. Things got really choppy back in Xillia, and Zestiria ran somewhat decently in comparison, though there were still a lot of times where animations got laggy. It still seemed to run better than both Xillia games overall.

>>332363707
I always thought she meant it in a self-aware way, like "killing is bad and immoral, so don't do the things that I do". There's a cutscene at some point in the game where Sorey is about to kill someone and Rose stops him and tells him not to dirty his hands since he's pure of heart or whatever, and finishes the job herself in his place. It's not that hard to figure out, dude. Rose knows killing is bad, but she's already in too deep to stop what's with being the leader of a group of assassins and all, and doesn't want someone goodhearted like Sorey to end up like that too. That's all there is to it. While there were lots of things about the writing I didn't like, especially with Rose's character, this is a dumb complaint.
>>
>>332379419
Except for everyone else in the game, killing generates malice and causes more corruption shit. That skit itself is commenting on the insane man not creating malice since he doesn't realize he's killing, and the line is said by Rose who herself commits murder with no ill effects despite this.

That's the issue at least, maybe Rose got a free Baba pass or maybe the story didn't do a good enough job explaining all this malice business beyond the evil maguffin what makes monsters for reasons.

After playing many JRPGs, it surprised me when they actually kill the cardinal lady. Yeah, Rose did the actual killing but Sorey was willing to do it. There was no talk-no-jutsu or the villain committing suicide but actual murder approved by the good guys.
