Well so far it's OK, though I'm still early in the game, you get the option of Japanese VA, which is really good. the fighting is similar to other Tales games except when you merge, (Not sure what it's calledin the game) then it's some OP fun. It doesn't seem to be as funny as previous Tales games though tat could just be me being more used to the humour so not finding it as amusing.

 

One of the best and worst part of the fighting mechanics is the fighting is instant not moving to a different arena like usual, but sometimes the problem with that is the fight is taking place in a corridor and the camera angles become wonky and you end up getting stuck at the edge of the arena and I've dies a couple of times because of it.

 

Another problem is the draw distance is not great (specially as I'm playing on the PS4.) and number of enemies, I'm used to having the option of fighting multiple enemies after another to grind for XP and materials, but here it feels more sparse.

 

Story wise it's not as interesting as the previous Tales so far, doesn't help that the charactors introduced so far are not that interesting, with the possible exception of Laila, the other three seem very cookie cutter to me....it feels like they played it too safe with charactor personailities.

 

It's still early days. and dispite my gripes I am enjoying the game.

No comment I haven't played yet but my brother is playing on Steam so.

Not played Zesteria since launch week, it's not the easiest game to get into as the charactors seem kinda bland. More details about the next game in the series released. This looks like a really welcome new direction for the game for me. looking at the new trailer, it appears they've taken the darker charactor approach from Vesteria, but seems to have taken more inspiration from the Xillia 2, with the morphing ability. Really looking forward to this now, hopefully they announce tha 2016 release date for the western release soon.

 

Also looking like the best game visually as well. Still looks like a PS3 game but now it looks like a PS3 game that pushes the games hardware.

News, Apparently Berseria will be a distant prequel to Zestiria. same world centuries or millenia into the past apparently

[Phantom_999]

Oh here's a trailer for  Berseria!

 

 

Oh and a Spoiler

 

spoiler

One of our Party members is a certain character from Zestiria. Hint* character in question is related to one of the seraphs

Edna's older brother but anyway Berseria is way better than Zestiria. I didn't like Zestiria. Berseria US release is January 2017.

Did you get your pre-order?

[Gravenimage]

Unfortunately no since I still don't have a PS4. The only way I can play it is if I order the PS3 version which is in Japanese (it was never localize to the US). 

[Phantom_999]

Hmm, I wonder if it will be on steam.

[Gravenimage]

I'm just wondering if they will release Berseria on Vita or better yet the PS3 version of Vesperia to be release on Vita Jap dialogue with Eng subs just like they did with Hearts R. 

[Phantom_999]

hmm probably not. Anywaybuddy it looks like Berseria will be released on PC so lucky you! You don'tneed a PS4 to play it. Well you might get one regardless but eventually but at least you don't have to wait for one before you get to play it.

I don't know about that. I've never being a fan of PC gaming not to mention I have to spend additional cash buying a controller because there's no way I'm using the keyboard. The other day I was playing RWBY Grimm Eclipse and I lost badly because I can't play using the touch pad.

 

As for Vesperia PS3 on Vita you never know. The fans have been demanding they localize the game for years but what if Namco Bandai decides to release it on Vita or PS4 or maybe on both. But I don't mind if they release it on Vita I like Jap voices is okay and Eng Subs is a must for me since I don't know squat of Japanese. Not to mention Vesperia is among the best Tales games.

Okay, not a problem buddy.  I'm only saying the option is available.  And we'll see too if Vesperia gets a western release

[harry4e]

The ten year anniversary of Vesperia is coming up in 2018, so maybe we'll see something them, I'm still hoping they'll announce the BC on the Xbox one for that game, it's one of the few games I've liked enough to buy the digital copy  (because the physical copies at the time were going for over £100 for used and higher for sealed) and then bought the physical copy when they finally did a reprint.

 

Also with the Switch coming out, Namco could release the game on that platform, they've done it in the past releasing an updated version of their older games on portable devices, and the Switch is more than powerful enough to run the game, might even be capable of running Beseria as it's only a 720p screen. I would love a western release of the PS3 port of Vesperia, I owned a moddedPS3 for years for that soul purpose, but after the translation project pretty much halted, I got rid of my spare PS3.

 

I can't decide between the PS4 or Steam for Berseria, I could play on the Xbox One controller (and it would probably look better on PC, if it's optimised properly) but I want to own the physical copy, I own a copy of all their games since Vesperia, and would like to continue to own a physical copy. Ofcourse my ideal platform would be Xbox One, but that's not going to happen.

Wait until 2018 for the 10th anniversary of Vesperia??? I can't wait that long I need it now! I hope Hideo Baba decides to release the PS3 version on Vita before that year. 

[RyohkiFan]

Baba better! I never really had a chance to play it since it was on Xbox and he release Symphonia (my baby) on ps3, so there is a chance.

Berseria looks fun!! What do we get if we preorder? I don't feel like it unless we get costumes lol

I suppose there will be costumes for Berseria special edition and I think there's a Velvet figurine along with the complete soundtrack or something.

 

Oh wait here it is

As for Vesperia yeah I really hope a Vita release will be great. Like you said Symphonia was originally on gamecube and the PS2 version was never localize but it was localized as the PS3 version (Chronicles) and Dawn of the new world was originally on the Wii and they merged it as part of Chronicles.

I just want a regular version, not much of a crazy buyer, all I want is the costumes, I just wanna know if there is pre order costumes.

You need to get yourself a ps4, I will not suffer again from a handheld console! (Nintendo...) I liked my Symphonia remake, always there to make me happy lol

Yeah but I want Vesperia the ps3 version on Vita.

[harry4e]

I don't think there is any chance of a Vita release, the market is not big enough for one thing and the other is the handheld simply is not powerful enough to handle the game, to fit it onto the Vita they would need to make some sacrifices. The Switch is the best chance we have of getting the game released on a handheld device, alternatively the PS4.

 

Of course we don't know if there are other reasons stopping the western release of the game, Bamco were working on the PS3 version but stopped for some undisclosed reason, (Troy Baker had accidentally confirmed he was called in for additional voice over work for the game on his Twitter account) One of the most popular theories being Microsoft stopped the western release as they were unhappy with Bamco screwing them over with by releasing a better version on the PS3 when they had bankrolled the development of the game.

 

So there seems to be some controversy surrounding one of the opening scenes being reedited to be more suitable for the western audience, having seen both scenes I find I like the edited version more, both scenes are brutal no doubt about that but the image from the original Japanese is more disturbing in my mind. I'm not going to link the scenes as they are spoiler filled of the beggining but they are easy to find on the old googles.
