Guys help.Dezel is my favorite character. I thought I was gonna hate him but I like the way he interacts with the group. The wind trial completely sealed the deal. I know I'm getting Zaveid as a replacement. I don't think I can do this.Why does everyone bitch about the Alisha stuff? This is way way way worse. I'm too upset. I'm gonna lose the will to continue this game.
>>121207628
Remember the good times.
>>121207628I cried like a bitch when Lailah made the origami bird and it blew away, holy shit Tales, stop
>>121207165
It is the wind trial, after all.
>>121207842
>>121208008
What would Lailah do with two Dezels.

>>121208298
I just realized, the animators are going to have a bitch of a time with Lailah and Mikleo and...shit, just about everyone's outfits aside from maybe Rose.
Unless they take the lazy route like they did with Lloyd (there's a reason he's only wearing a black undershirt so often in the OVA).
Anyone here have a webm of whenDezel's blindness is revealed?Thought it was a cool scene.

Zesty deserves a little bit of credit here desu. The direction of the scenes/animations seems a lot less stiff that Xillia 2's animations (in cutscenes, I mean).
>>121209096
I played it on a burned disc long ago (no EU release FUCK), it didn't grab me, but I was expecting everything to be Symphonia. Must've been 8 years ago or something. I need to revisit it.

I stacked Focus then Attack, and eventually both, never had any trouble. I enjoy the other characters but in my first playthough Ive just been playing as Sorey mostly.
>>121209550
wait, is that mikleo with alisha body doing edna motion cap? my brain hurts
>>121209349
I think he's fun to play as myself.
Though the difference of early gameplay vs when you have all the artes makes a huge difference, obviously...

God, I hate those Idol costumes. They're nothing but incredibly lazy recolors. Sure, we've had the classic Idol costumes a few times before, but I still vastly prefer them.
>>121209861
Yes it is.
Are the school outfits out yet?
I wish to shamefully contribute to the problematic DLC practice so I can dress up make-believe people in virtual clothing.
Also why in fuck's name would they NOT give Mikleo a Kaworu costume for the Eva set?

>mfw I just beat the Zestiria ex-dungeon on Hard

I must be really good at Tales games or this game is just easy
Also Calix is hands-down the most gorgeous environment in any Tales game.
>>121210558
School outfits are not the Blue Exorcist outfits.
>>121210425
Zaveid: Hey, Sorey, don't the girls look awesome in battle?
Sorey: Sure.
Zaveid: C'mon, man...
Mikleo: Don't expect much from Sorey in this.
>>121210991

C'mon...
>>121210995
Yeah, I know. I checked yesterday and all there was were the beach outfits.
Hmm...
>>121210991
Now go fight that sketeton dragon and the final boss again
I'm watching the Mystic Art videos on Youtube and somehow characters have 3 MAs, while mine only had 2. How do you get the third?
>>121211229
I don't know then. Is this PSN? Sometimes I find I have to try different approaches or use the website to get it to display the thing I want.
Am I the only one who finds it kind of sweet that Sorey gets a lightning-themed MA, considering he was raised by a lightning-themed seraph?
>>121211590
The third ones are 3 pre-order deals from earlier in the series.
There's also the special one with strict requirements.
>>121211618
I'll look into it. Thanks though.
>>121211645
Along that line, I was thinkingis Mikleo a water seraph because as a human he got (presumably) burned? Didn't one of the seraphim from the trials say something about one's death affecting what kind of seraph they become?
>>121211645
Both of his personal MAs are Gramps themed. The second one more so.
>>121211645
His MAs are pretty cool. I really like the Armatization MAs too.
>>121211802
The pre-order ones are pretty difficult to pull off, racking up a high enough combo seems pretty hard sometimes (especially when it matters). I'm just about to go into NG+ so I'm gonna try gettin' gud there.
>>121211802
well that's disappointing
>>121212039
I haven't gotten the second one yet, but that sounds intriguing.
I don't think I have them for Mikleo, Lailah or Edna either.Do I gotta kill Eizan?
>>121212586
Yes. Lailah and Mikleo require beating the game and then continuing.
>>121205858

Any insane tips? Im in my mid 20s and I'm already running into l level 40+ shit.

>>121216048
Go away.

Why.
Please god no.
I don't want this.
>>121216214
There is no need to get angry, it's pretty clear that the ending didn't really resolve everything.Symonne is still around and angry, and in their own words she would easily have crushed them if it wasn't for Heldalf's domain holding her back. Then you have the potentially related elements of Lunarre being back and wanting revenge and whatever that was that left Heldalf and passed over Sorey at the very end.
There is quite a bit we won't ever get an answer to now, both the Rose and Mikleo segments don't really explain anything and both could easily be taken out of context with how little information was given.
>>121216730
Yawn. What a shame there isn't a written version of the scene with more detail.
>>121216679
god this hit me harder than aeris death, and I knew it was coming!
>>121216871
Shame there is also a direct story extention that will forever be left as a cliffhanger.
>>121217251
Which has nothing to do with the epilogue and which no one cares about. Stop trying to force your stupid meme.
>>121217420
How is discussing the DLC story a meme? It exists and it opens up a massive amount of questions.
You have a wildcard with power equal to or much greater than Heldalf that clearly isn't going to give up and an unknown that could potentially be the next lord of calamity who clearly has an agenda that revolves around Sorey. Heck you even have what could have been a third entity that was producing the malevolence if that wasn't Symonne or Lunarre doing it.
If you don't care about it then don't respond, it's a curious thing and worth discussing now that we apparently won't be getting any more DLC.
>>121217251
instead of that stupid DLC bullshit the PS4/PC version should have just been Zestiria R with an extended epilogue or something like Graces F had.
>>121216048Yes, it was obviously someone else who saved Mikleo in the exact same way as earlier and caused Mikleo to be extremely happy upon seeing who it was.
>>121219142
To bad Baba is scared of Alishafags murdering him if he does anything else with Zesty. I really wanna see the rest of the DL too.
>>121219482
Alisha could have been a super simple fix by just making her rejoin the party permanently near the end of the game like PS3 Vesperia did with Flynn.
When do they have rough sex?
>>121219653
The game doesn't need unnecessary add on. Flynn was actually relevant throughout the game unlike Alisha.
>>121219742
beginning of the dlc, with edna and lailah watching
>>121216048
Not sure if you know, but someone translated the epilogue of the Zestiria novel andit's definately Sorey at the end. I thought it was obvious from the game ending but I guess people like you need that much of a confirmation to believe.
>>121219653
And then she suddenly has high resonance so as to be able to armitize and not cripple Sorey?
>>121220242
write some bullshit that Muse gives Alisha her resonance or some shit.
Is Vesperia really a prequel to Symphonia?
>>121220242
Am i the only who notices that Rose doesn't seem to get blind during Alisha's DLC? It was clearly shown that Alisha's resonance haven't improved since she can't see Lailah and Edna in the start.
You mean to tell me Rose was a more powerful sheperd than Sorey?
Goddamn, even in Alisha's very own DLC Rose manages to steal the spotlight.
>>121220482
No. Just because the summon spirits have the same names doesn't make them related plotwise.
>>121219742
Never
>>121220482
No
The only differently named games that have any sort of relation is Symphonia being a super distant prequel to Phantasia
>>121220621
You don't need to be a shepherd to have high resonance. Rose had the natural ability and Dezel more or less trained her into it without her knowing.
>>121220747
But I want to watch them tear their clothes while fighting and eventually descend into sweaty hatesex.
>there are people out there right now that chose Kratoa over Zelos
>>121220621
It means Baba forgot his own bullshit excuse to get rid of Alisha
>>121220770
Elaborate
>>121221016
Yeah, I don't get it either. Or at least, people who act like Zelos is 100% the fool he pretends to be while believing that Kratos is this perfect paragon of honor and bravery despite that his utter passiveness and inability to attempt to fix his mistakes literally ruined countless lives.
Hell, even when he briefly did consider turning against Mithos he was planning on leaving his family without telling them what he was doing or where he was going.
>>121220621
No, it means there's no problem because the game explicitly tells you before the final battle that Rose would be using the power Sorey is channeling from Maotelus to the entire continent. She could probably make a rock a squire with no ill effects.
>>121220621
>>121220784
Well it was only for a short time so perhaps the effects weren't able to take hold yet, that and she can't armatize at all still. One can only hope they would have elaborated on that in the rest of the DLC.
>>121221154
Symphonia takes place about 4000 years before Phantasia IIRC.
The elves came to the planet (Aselia) and from Derris-Kharlan and planted the original Kharlan Tree there to give mana to the world and bring forth life. With the tree came the spirit Ratatosk to regulate the world's mana, and in turn other spirits came to dwell on the planet. The elves took a cutting from the tree and planted a second one on Derris-Kharlan. Its spirit is Norn.
Over time two countries rose up, Sylvarant and Tethe'alla, and went to war with each other. Mithos and Martel Yggdrasil, and two soldiers from opposite sides of the war, Kratos and Yuan, realize that the war would threaten the Kharlan Tree and in turn rob the world of the mana it needed to live. They made pacts with various spirits, including Ratatosk, and more or less stopped the war, but the tree was destroyed anyway and Martel died. The tree left behind a seed, but rather than let it germinate, Mithos used it to try to keep Martel's soul alive and became corrupted.
Four thousand years later, Lloyd and Collette get the seed to germinate, and a new tree called Yggdrasil was created with a new spirit named Martel watching over it. However, because of the death of the previous tree, Ratatosk had gone dormant and the mana regulation was left unchecked. After being reawakened, Ratatosk had to create a new seal to protect the world, and in order to do so began a slow process of draining mana from the planet to build said seal. In order to not risk the death of the planet again, the natural laws were rewritten so that only magical beings would require mana to live.
Which brings us to Phantasia, where another war had drained the planet's mana to the point that magic was no longer usable, Yggdrasil was no longer producing mana and Martel was almost dead.
(and that's not getting into the remaining society on Derris-Kharlan, which grew into three nations that also went to war and killed Norn's tree)
>>121222189
Additionally, when the planet was shifted into two planes of existence to separate the warring countries, each took one of the planet's two moons with them. The people of Sylvarant came to associate the name Tethe'alla with the moon, and vice versa. In Phantasia, the silvery moon is called Sylvarant and the gold one is called Tethe'alla.
>>121221583
Psh, stop paying attention and using facts to dispel "plotholes."
I want more seraphs using their powers for everyday convenience.
How do I get gud at the Zesty battle system?
>>121224273
>Sorey
>skinny
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>121224504
Have you played Graces?
Anyway, take advantage of weaknesses. If you see an enemy casting, interrupt them by using martial artes (your usual attacks), or if you can't get in fast enough see if you're being targeted and get ready to dodge. Abuse elemental weaknesses. Armatizing isn't always better. If things aren't working out for you, change your equipment to prioritize certain areas and use snacks to give boosts before a tough fight.
>>121224878
Yeah, he's def too scrawny there.
Where can I get this ultra rare Alvin Pepe?
>>121225195
I ship these two so much more than Jude and Milla.
>>121225195
I still don't get why they made Leia and Alvin into bffs in Xillia 2. It works, I just don't know where it came from.
>>121225393
It's all about the secret handshake.
>>121225393
All the other characters were paired up so they were left over.
>>121225393
A lot can change over a year.
>>121225393
When Alvin and Jude snapped in Xillia 1, Leia was the one who got the two back up.
When Alvinaccidentally shot Leiaand Leia forgave him for it, it made them bffs right there and then.
>>121225393
It's not that uncommon for people to become bff after a shitstorm among them (read : the shooting shit). Leia is also the kind of girl who easily gets along with everyone, so it's not really that much of a stretch.
>>121225640
Yeah that's probably what the actual reason is. They really should have had more varied interactions between the cast instead of just pairing them off, but I guess you can't expect much out of a game with a 12 month dev cycle.
Also i'm more interested in Gaiud and Muzet's relationship. At the ending, Muzet just touched Gaius' arm and they both smiled at each other. I mean, we don't know much about their relationship besides Muzet's occasional teasing.
>>121225349
I ship Alvin and Elize.
And Elize and Jude.
And Elize and Milla.
Pretty much Elize and anything that moves. She is a slut.
>>121225640
Should have kept him with his healing loli, Elize.
>>121226087
>not his healing shota, Jude

They didn't release enough of the DLC story to get to Alisha's special mechanic. If they had got it all out I could see promoting her as the heroine since she would have had her own story.
>Doing this without knowing moon
Almost committed suicide desu
>>121229017
1300 yen per dlc across multiple dlcs is a fucking travesty. Japanese otaku might be batshit insane but at least they got something productive done by throwing a shitfit and getting the dlc plans canned.
Cliffhangers be damned, you can't condone these types of practices, especially from Bamco. We're at like 3 consecutive rushed games that clearly needed more development time, and it turns out they were wasting time on release day dlc instead?
>>121229564
In my opinion Tales doesn't have enough competition in its particular style of JRPG so it tries to get away with as much jewing as possible
>>121229564
I hope the anime is conclusive.
>>121229564
Yeah whatever senpai. I buy and suck bamco dlc dick everyday and I love it.
If only there wasn't Alisha faggotry there would've been more eps.
>>121229885
Berseria is guaranteed to be a mess too. Ignoring the obvious technical issues of staying on Xillia's engine, targeting the PS3, there's essentially a 2 year window on the release of the game. Development on the 25th anniversary title is going to have to start soon, and it'll probably have to be on ps4 which just leads to a whole host of new scheduling issues. This basically caps development time spent on Berseria which means the same shit from the Xillias and Zestiria is going to happen again.
>>121230218
If they hadn't fucked up the Alisha shit in the first place there wouldn't have been a problem and people might actually pay more attention to the other problems Zestiria has instead of MUH ALISHA FUCK YOU ALISHAFAGS all the time.
>>121230715
They really should stop giving a fuck about anniversary titles.
>>121230745
>other problems Zestiria has
Literally nothing.
>>121230775
Xillia 1 was rushed to hit the 15th anniversary and was released in September 2011.
Zestiria was rushed to hit the 20th anniversary and was released in January 2015.
Less than three and a half years passed between those two anniversaries.
Someone at Bamco needs to be fired.
>>121230982
Remove Baba
>>121230715
>Ignoring the obvious technical issues of staying on Xillia's engine
Zestiria is using a brand new engine they made for the game. So there's a big chance that Berseria is using it as well.
>>121230881
I'd go into the problems but you'd just call me a salty Alishafag or something. Keep eating that Bamco dick, I guess and ignoring the real problems the game has beyond waifus.
Butterfly best hair ornament.

>>121229885
If Star Ocean 5 is received well they may and try to up their game, assuming the Star Ocean games play similar.
>>121232949
Every Star Ocean has played like a severely watered down version of Tales. I'll be greatly (and pleasantly) surprised if they manage to buck the trend and come up with something actually better for once. Their last offering handled like an even slower, even more linear version of Zestiria with fewer mid-battle options.
>>121231583
I mean it's not actually brand new, just like how mario 64 and oot used used the same engine if you really got down to it.
>>121232949
Only Star Ocean I've played was the one with EDGE MAVERICK and my god, if you think Tales plot/characters are bad...
>>121233559
You played the worst one. Star Ocean 4 was directed by a hack who had no respect for the series and wanted to make an eroge but of course Square wouldn't allow it.
>>121233559
Edgy Maverick a shit. Star Ocean 2/3 are great, though I like 2 quite a bit better.
>>121229564
DLC in the JRPG genre is beyond retarded in the first place, while it's good they revolted against this it's still their own fucking fault for buying into costumes and other bullshit in the first place.
Now everyone suffers both with the Zestiria cliffhangers and the series in general.
>>121234689
You're still boring. Give it a rest.
>>121234689
I'm pretty new to the Tales series but their DLC is abhorrent. I'd rather get more stuff like the Alisha DLC episodenot necessarily starring herthan the abomination that is the 20 dollar easy mode DLC.
Costumes are okay, I guess. Wish there were more unlockable in game, though.
>>121234794
What?
>>121234943
>muh cliffhangers
>>121234689
DLC costumes should be limited to cross licensed stuff only, and only if standard outfits are still in the main game.
Instead every single fucking outfit is now dlc, and yet the games aren't any better for it. Where is that extra money even going then?
>>121235040
>Where is that extra money even going then?
Making up for the decrease in sales they're getting from releasing rushed games.
>>121235032
We are talking about DLC practices, keep up with the topic or stop shitposting.
>>121234908
Yeah it's been a bit sad to see how many costumes they put into the game as paid DLC rather than unlockables. It would be nice to have a lot more lore friendly outfits too instead of just wacky stuff. I'm not as mad about costume DLC but it's unfortunately a gateway into story DLC which has no business in the genre whatsoever.
Either you put that story in the game and finish it or you release a full sequel.
>>121235168
>decrease
Xillia and Zestiria made more shit than any other game besides Destiny.
>>121235040
Unfortunately, that's what happens when consumers expect prices to remain relatively fixed over a period of years but the production costs of the goods to rise. Unless Namco is reporting massive profits, which I'm sure you can check, that extra cash is going into keeping their business viable.
Maltran is a bitch to fight
>>121235292
If you listen to the Bamco's logic about sales it's actually amazing how out of touch they are. Xillia sold so well based off of hype of being the first mainline ps3 game, when it ended up rushed and incomplete people were disappointed and turned off of the series. The fact they actually expected Xillia 2 to sell as well as the first after all that is mindboggling.
Then they fucked up Zestiria and ended up with a PR nightmare that ruined any chance of the game matching whatever optimistic expectations they had.
>>121235315
If you can't put out a good product at a price people are willing to buy you're fucked either way. You either swing for the fences in an attempt to expand your audience and increase revenue stream or die a slow death of mediocrity trying to monetize whatever remains of your loyal fanbase.
I could draw an analogy to the way anime sales are catered toward otaku and use that as a reflection of how risk averse Japanese companies are in general, but at this point I'm getting into super speculative bullshit pulled out of my ass.
So how did Baba even influence the development of Zestiria? Wasn't he just a PR? He isn't a director like Kojima.

He's the producer and brand manager of Tales of. Everyone working on Tales of is working under him.
>>121237856
They need to replace him asap.
>>121237894
They might. Or they might just wait for the Zestiria controversy to cool down and hope it goes away with the release of new game. There was a petition to remove him, some sections of the official forums were locked because of too many people asking for his head and he hasn't appeared in any Tales of event since even tough he's been attending them every year. One event they even had searches to make sure nobody was bringing in weapons.
>>121237894
They really need someone to sit everyone down and give it to them straight. You've got some good ideas but you need to stop fucking around and just finish the game. Get a good game out there THEN worry about jewing people with costumes.
Was that huge wall by Loghrin supposed to play a part in the game?
>>121240686
Has to be cut content of some kind, it's way too fancy to just be a hiding spot for a Normin.
>>121235040
Pretty much. And since I couldn't give less of a fuck about licensed costumes, I'm left with only the recolors(and Alisha/Dezel's stuff for Rose/Zaveid).
C'mon Bamco, I really enjoyed giving Yuri his true knight outfit, or Asbel his honorary knight one.

How fucking light is Mikleo?
>>121235465
I had a blast using Alisha against her after my party got destroyedas always. With her similar moveset and dodges she's probably my favorite bossfight of the entire game.
>>121242680
Light enough that Sorey cancan lift and do rough things with him

>>121242680
I think it's a combo of Mikleo not weighing much and Sorey actually being pretty strong.pardon the tiny shitty tumblr gif
>>121243561or just pick him up and hug himbut rough manhandling is a-okay too

That's so much better, thanks Anon.
is there actually no english translation for tales of rebirth
So much child suffering and death in this I'm surprised it got localized.
>>121246605
One of my favorite things in JRPGs is doing sidequests to make NPCs lives better. By the end of Zestiria I felt like most of the people I 'helped' would have been better off if I'd just left them alone.
>>121238131
All of this sounds like bullshit.
>>121248487
It IS bullshit.

Why do Dezel and Zaveid fight the same?
>>121248851
Zaveid says later that he was the one who taught Dezel how to fight, but Dezel forgot because reasons.
It would have made more sense to have Zaveid and Zaveid die from using the gun too much and have him replaced with Dezel
>>121249193
It would make even more sense if Zaveid didn't waste his bullets trying to fondle Sorey. Or maybe if they explained the gun in the first place.Just kidding that's going to be explained in tales of bears right.
>>121249268
>those bullets wasted on fighting Sorey
Stupidest shit. I bet they only did that because it looked cool.

kek
>>121248851
>>121248894
I think it's implied that Zaveid was one of the members of the Windstriders way before Dezel joining them. Zaveid tells during a skit that a young Dezel was watching him and later practiced Zaveid's moves.
Dezel forgot who Zaveid was because reasons.
>>121249738
>not playing Xillia 2
Speaking of skits, is there a list of them and how to get them all yet? I want to replay the game because I missed a ton but I'll probably only replay once for now.maybe again next year when the anime comes out
>>121250981
Literally rest at every inn whenever you do something related to the main story or sidequests.
You have to rest at an inn in the region of the quest though.
Should I order Xillia 1 and 2?
I would need to get my ps3 out of storage
>>121251256
I did that, I spent a fuckton of gald resting at inns. I still missed nearly 80 skits. All I can think is that I must have been meant to backtrack to inns more, but I'm not sure when.
>>121251485
Yes, they are good games.
Xillia 2 is literally a train running on 500mph going through feelsville.
>Finished yesterday
>Go to check my screenshots
>2,664 files
I may have overdone it.
>>121233336
>I mean it's not actually brand new
Huh, guess you're right.
5.) What would be the biggest difference in Zestiria as compared to previous works.
>The main difference would probably be the engine. Tales of Zestiria runs on a different engine than Xillia/Xillia 2. A lot of aspects, we had to do from scratch.
6.) Why dive into a new engine when the previous one would be more stable?
>We needed to bring a new evolutionary game. We could have worked with the previous engine since it would be more stable, but it wouldn't be innovative. This time, we focused more on aesthetics and the visual environment to enhance scenes. Players will notice the difference especially during events. Like in the Uncharted series, we wanted players to feel immersed into the game as if watching a movie. This is how we wanted to show our "passion" for the 20th anniversary title.

But this new engine they made is all for the graphics and scenery, if they could somehow capture Zestiria's graphics and Graces/Xillias combat in Berseria, it'd probably be the best Tales games of all time.
>finish main game

>oh boy finally more Alisha
>5 mins in Rose steals the spotlight, is now the shepherd and doesn't get blind from Alisha because reasons

>some of her martial artes whiffs on enemies
Fucking seriously? Only thing worth noticing in the DLC is this:

And that we could get to see Sorey somehow.
Even her the story revolving around finding her answer, Rose manages to still be the main plot point.

I blame this, put back on her shoulder and bang, slut gone!
>>121209550
oh nice, so we already got model swapping goin on?
how much longer until the pc mods let us change the field charactersa-and how much longer until lewd mods
>>121257512
It's kinda hard to say what was going to happen since we won't get to see the other DLCs and the story won't be continued. It looked like they had something big setup for her to go through but we will never know.The weird thing is that she doesn't get a timeskip scene at the end of the game nor does the written account mention what happened to her in any detail. Maybe we would have gotten that at the end of all the DLCs.
Arche a best tales waifu
how autistic do I have to be to get the most out of the combat system? most of my tales playan was when I was too young to give a shit

It's not that complicated unless you really obsess over the skill chart.

It's normal to like cute things.
Alisha isn't as useless as people say, I appreciated her being a meatshield and also getting verbally blown the fuck out in my place
>>121266490
I know it is.
Tales needs more traps.
>>121266858
I felt so bad for her during that part. And then she has to kiss that guy's ass again later, God damn.

Preferably with a good localization.

Will Berseria have an improved Graces battle system? Instead of this dumbed down Zestiria shit.
