>They can't reveal Alphen's age yet but compared to previous protagonists he's older.

>The Flame Sword is one of the key items in the story.
>Alphen being the only one who can use the Flame Sword is important to the storyline. However if he were to keep using it, it would burn his hand and injure him. They'll talk about how that ties into the game design later.
>Shionne is being pursued by other Renans because of her curse, and runs into Alphen.
>Because she is Renan she can use weapons like guns.
I like it, do I have to play the previous tales games before this one?
Anthony Roberts
It's set in a completely new universe. It's like FF where you have to play previous titles to understand the story.
Gavin Turner
*Don't
Lucas Roberts
Give me a kino romance story, Tales.
Julian Harris
>The Flame Sword is one of the key items in the story. >>Alphen being the only one who can use the Flame Sword is important to the storyline. However if he were to keep using it, it would burn his hand and injure him. They'll talk about how that ties into the game design later. Yes, we know. We've all played Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
Logan Gomez
>xenoblade 2 invented flame swords now fuck off xenokek
Gavin Nelson
I actually think there's gonna be a romance this time. I'm excited boys
Justin Campbell
>flame sword important to the story Check >flame sword connected to the female companion Check >weeb sit Check
Jace Davis
>Alpheb is older Does this mean he won't be a bitch and actually kiss the heroine?
Jordan Edwards
Just like how we all thought there was gonna be a romance between Sorey and Alisha. For all we know Alphen might be a homo.
Jace Turner
Where’s the source? Or are you just pulling this shit out of your ass?
Dylan Perry
I tried berseria yesterday as my first tales game and the combat is unbearable. I just finished ys origin and I feel like I’ve stepped 20 years back
Nathan Johnson
>romance It seems to have an edgy tone. There won’t be any romance, comedy, etc. Only edgy, gloomy shit. The skits will be super serious and not fun.
They said it was going to be a mix between serious and light hearted
Michael Reyes
When did anyone think there was going to be a romance between them?
Andrew Brown
You'd be surprised, the mods at Abyssal Chronicles thought that there was going to be a love story and even after Sorey rejected Alisha in public and didn't want to see her again, they still believe that Sorey likes her, or was too innocent toi understand (despite the game being it clear that he did understand but he just wasn't interested).
Jason Cruz
Lots of people did before it released due to screenshots. Which makes me believe that there was originally going a romance. But that's another story.
Adam Collins
Name literally one single game which does it all faggot
Gavin Gonzalez
She inflicts pain on anyone she touches and he is a person who can't feel pain. This doesn't sound like an edgy premise for a romance, in fact it can be quite a heartwarming one since she was probably denied human warmth for her entire life.
Andrew Robinson
>lots of good elements for a romance >likely nothing's going to happen oh no no
Gavin Baker
You forgot Shionne is voiced by Mythra
Jayden Thompson
I mean, we have a higher chance of getting actual romance since Baba is gone from the company.
Cooper Williams
>Since he can't feel pain his allies are worried about him gravely injuring himself, and put him in heavy armor. >his armor is a full body retard helmet
Before Zestiria released a lot of promo material featured them together.
Alexander Ortiz
Then the the MC can feel pain again and drama ensues. It’s so predictable or they will subvert us by dispelling her curse and cucks MC with someone else
Eli Moore
When has the MC gotten with someone other than the main heroine sans graces
fuck off she has an amazing dress and use guns, she's 10/10
Eli Gray
>pink >worst color >worst anime characters Fact.
Leo Cox
>>They can't reveal Alphen's age yet but compared to previous protagonists he's older.
told you bro, tales is getting westernized
Nicholas Howard
Wew Alphen is probably 30
Josiah Diaz
And she's from the moon as a bonus, not to mention the sword 12/10
Jack Roberts
Probably not 30 but 25-27 doesn't seem too unreasonable
Anthony Reyes
In case of Tales games it's a good thing.
Connor Cox
>main characters are angry all the time >only serious plot allowed no jokes >one of them will probably die at the end >no pet character, no loli party member
Considering the story it makes no sense for Sorey to hook up with a human. The head writer shot the idea down.
Kayden Young
the only super edgy one was the last one, what the fuck are you on about
Jaxson Torres
B- but user Sorey had to learn how to kill other humans and Ludger sacrificed himself.
Thomas Gutierrez
This is just an old anime trope. It's been done hundreds of times. Guilty Crown, Code Geass,Darling in the FranXX, Bleach, etc.
Charles Sullivan
>Or... Japan finally decided to go back in times in which their protagonists had fully grown dicks instead of strangely shaped pussies. I hope you're not an idiot who thinks that the image you posted is true, or that we haven't had grown protagonists over the years.
Parker Sanders
They're in Smash Ultimate Fighters Pass! >Colette is possibly leaked by a Japanese user on twitter who said that the DQ hero has no female alts. >Lloyd was leaked by Mii Swordfighter's glitch that is shared with Duck Hunt (which they leaked a playable Banjo) >Every DLC fighter has to do with multiple entities (P. Plant summons Petey in its final smash and it can be seen watering Pikmin in the panorama only, the DQ hero has slime in his taunt and he can summon the other DQ heroes in his final smash, Joker has his Persona and he can summon Morgana in all of his taunts as well appearing in Joker's victory poses and his final smash along with the rest of the Phantom Thieves, Banjo and Kazooie are a duo like Duck Hunt and he can summon the Jinjonator and the Jinjos in his final smash) Lloyd and Colette will might share one spot and they might function like the cut Diddy and Dixie duo in Brawl.
I'm expecting this plot point or something similar to it to replace the traitor trope.
Aiden Fisher
but the traitors are the best characters in their games
Jose Gray
MC is the traitor
Hunter Turner
How much of a bitch will Shionne be?
Elijah Russell
Super Tsundere, then super dere. It makes the most sense. Imagine never being able to be with people then you meet the one guy you can be with. She's gonna be cold at first then become the best tales waifu of all time.
But for some reason I don't think this game is gonna be a happy ending.
Jaxon Wilson
Richard also killed people on cold blood during graces f
Asher Ward
I hope not. These past few endings have been depressing as fuck.
Evan Wilson
So basically Tear?
Ethan Thomas
Alphen is so hot bros. Hope the female lead is a good enough for self inserting purposes
Colton Murphy
>A dark skinned man is an opressed slave looking for freedom from the light skinned girl's nation What did they mean by this?
>asbel: friendship personified. Zero edge. >Jude: dumb kid who follows chick to save the world in the hopes of getting laid. Zero edge. >ludger:"I'm Baba's self insert" low edge >sorey:"I'm basically Jesus Christ" low edge >velvet:"I pretend to be all about revenge but really, I'm just a dumb bitch" medium edge.
Richard has "muh lambda" brainwashing for his nonsense. In the postgame everyone kinda glosses over and laugh off him slaughtering his uncle.
Zachary Brown
Bruh why is Alphen so black?
Jaxon Campbell
I'm surprised we haven't seen any anime visuals yet
Charles Garcia
>I pretend to be all about revenge but really, I'm just a dumb bitch Velvet literally was all about revenge and she wasn't at all dumb. She was very self aware, she just didn't care how her actions effected other people, for the most part.
Levi Jones
So XB2 ripped off Guilty Crown then.
Robert Morgan
>shitting on Touman and Chadren Extremely gay.
Cameron King
The oldest character in the party is always the best. Prove me wrong.
>In the postgame everyone kinda glosses over and laugh off him slaughtering his uncle. can you blame them? cedric was a massive cunt
Benjamin Butler
>ludger:"I'm Baba's self insert" low edge Despite being voiceless at first and being able to pick his responses, I never considered Ludger a self insert character. He's not really a blank slate.
