THE FIELDS BURN
>1 minute of nothing
Was there a worse showing at TGS this year? I'm honestly curious
Guilty Gear was kind of crap.
Looks bretty cool tbqh.
Altho I wish they had shown more gameplay.
>Shionne will be on heal-Alphen's-hand duty
I expect cute moments desu
Satsugeki Bukouken?
My opinion on everything the trailer gave is
*ahem*
.
It was crap but at least they showed the new May which got tons of people hype (Her new design already got like a hundred fanart in two days), this one didn't even both showing the new character properly. If they had actually shown the new character's full design from the front I think people would've been less disappointed.
Ya looks pretty good. Hope it releases soon. Is it still in the zesteria/berseria world?
That combat looks so fucking good
Nah, new world new characters no more seraphim or lord of calamity.
>Hope it releases soon
With the trailer they showed, it's clearly not close to release
Cant wait :)
for the last time, no.
I thought people were saying this was supposed to be a Souls-like take on Tales? This doesn't look Souls-like at all.
I hope the elemental weapon thing doesn't stop at the fire sword. I want a character who do a field of ice on the environment like that.
Who the fuck said that?
Character designs look like shit compared to Berseria, gacha art style continues to spread its cancer it seems.
shionne is flat, flat
>tales looks this good meanwhile falcom stuck in ps2 era in 2019
I could see them ditch the 2d skits and turn them 3d unfortunately
Who said it was a souls-like take on Tales? It never looked souls-liked.
Based icebro. Best element.
>Character designs look like shit compared to Berseria,
>he thinks xillia designs were good
>expressive changes in Shionne's face
Are we getting kino, Talesbros?
loli mage at 0:40 is probably another party member
Looks 2Edgy4me and also the monsters do nothing. Just stand there taking hits.
Tales of games are cringe in 2019
>loli
That's very optimistic of you
You blind? Her bust is average at worst.
478056446
weak bait monsters always staggered
>Character designs look like shit compared to Berseria
>Velvet
>good design
I want a Shionne wife
sounds like a female at least
I just remember a lot of people saying when the reveal trailer came out that it looked like a Souls game. I guess they're wrong too.
Sounds even girlier than Ion. We're getting a mega-trap if it is a shota
what's the point in even being a talesfag anymore
>the monsters do nothing. Just stand there taking hits.
All Tales monsters are like that. That's why there's always multiple of them in battle.
we've already seen shionne's panties
>Guy feels no pain
>Girl inflicts pain on touch
Literally made to fuck.
Hence: Tales of games are cringe in 2019
This series has not evolved in any meaningful way since the PS2 days. Nobody wants to mash buttons on static shit AI enemies anymore.
Based Abe, bringing the Tales of games back to the golden age
Don't talk shit about discount Zero!
Fonkay
sounds like they are recycling muh malevolence/astral energy
Mystery nigga
>girl inflicts pain just by touching people
This game is gonna be piss easy. Just ram this bitch into everyone and slice them up.
You think they've finally broken the Zestiria/Bearsia shitgame spiral?
People were saying that because Alphen dodge rolled. Dodge rolling makes it a Souls game apparently.
that's Code Vein
To be fair Tales is a pretty big franchise handled by a giant corporation. Falcom games are fairly niche. I do wish they had the budget Bamco has.
>Worse than berseria
>The game where the only good design was Magilou
Uh-huh
Please God no, malevolence is such an incoherent idea in Zesteria
You don't mash buttons when there's 5 other monsters in the battle interrupting you.
>Haha... with 10x the budget
Sounds great for shitposting desu
The cute girls, even if it feels like Bamco wants you to forget about them sometimes
>Just ram this bitch into everyone and slice them up.
Finally the sequel to Ys 1 I was waiting for
>144fps HD Haha
Haha...
look like they abandon the old combat system. What a damn shame
>the only good design was Magilou
Ex-fucking-cuse me?
This the entire time I played that game I wondered how that world even made it out of the stone age with how easy it was for shit to get corrupted.
Cute girls, what's that?
i was thinking you could just yeet her at enemies until they die
But they abandon the combat system every tails game. I would have actually enjoyed Berseria/Zestiria if they just did Xillia combat.
>Why yes, i take dicks on the ass
If I remember correctly, malevolence didn't exist yet when they were in the stone age
Looks like they tease Magilou clone.
Nice
Given the art style you could probably put God Eater, Code Vein and Tales of Arise in a compilation of screenshots and you'd easily think some were the same game.
Also Ufotable.
>ancient dragon dies of unknown causes, found dead in the dusty mountains clutching its pinky toe
I only need one thing to be on board, and I'll have to wait for the ending spoilers.
I'm sick and tired of "life sucks and then you die" endings, I want something happy and completely wholesome. I won't buy it if it's got a canon edgelord ending
So far, that doesn't seem it'll happen so count me out for now.
>Why yes I'm going to be the most annoying character in the game, how could you tell?
Just woke up.
Did I miss something?
Laphicet eating ramen
the new ''sharing is caring'' character got confirmed
Failed oportunity to shoop him a chad body.
Don't disrespect Eizen like this, especially with how he was treated in Zestiria.
sort of like cloak and dagger
>they are already teasing a little girl character who is probably going to become a daughter figure for main duo
It's a shame this is a fujoshit franchise and they probably won't even allow a real romance in it anymore
Is it a loli or a shouta?
Playing Vesperia, got to the part where you finish raiding Ragou's palace. Is Flynn supposed to be a insanely unlikeable nigger?
"I BECAME TO A KNIGHT TO SIT WITH MY THUMBS UP MY ASS UNLIKE YOU, YURI, SAVING CHILDREN THROWN INTO A DOG PIT, GETTING RID OF A MANS MASSIVE DEBT THAT WAS KILLING HIM AND HIS FAMILY, ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING ABOUT AN EVIL CUNT RUINING THE LIVES OF THESE POOR PEOPLE AND SAVING THE LIFE OF THE HEIR TO THE THRONE ALL IN AN HOUR"
I hate how no one fucking called him out on how much of a giant tool he is, ignored everything hes done and Yuri just walked out like a bitch. I was really enjoying the game until this but I think I might drop it just because of how contrived this KNIGHT GOOD shit is when this whole time they've done nothing but be incompetent retards and someone like Yuri should tell them off when its the whole point of his character.
She looks more around Edna's body type than straight up loli
I told you guys that it will be a loli this time
Malevolence was such a shitshow that a poor cavemen hurting a friend by accident and feeling apologetic surely created the malevolence that doomed humanity.
Raping and killing an entire family doesn't matter, if you don't feel bad about it.
>Edna
Literally the only good thing about Zestria.
Looks good but doesn't feel like a tales game
>killing an entire family doesn't matter, if you don't feel bad about it.
Rose is Rose
I actually quite like the setup they have going - the no / pain foil. It should create some solid story telling opportunities. Not sure about game play and, from the looks, that over world scope already makes me feel exhausted. Breath of the Wild with be a curse on Japan's industry.
We don't know for sure yet and I wouldn't hold my breath considering the direction they're taking with the mobile games
I don't know about souls like but the roll mechanic makes the game gay, give me back side hopping
omg omg omg another tales of mediocrity entry i can't wait!!!
They explain how malevolence started in Berseria's post-game. But I don't remember the explanation well. Something about a curse from the seraphims I think.
Do you actually care if it's a loli or a shota? Both fuckable ;)
(You)
So did they explain why exactly does the MC not feel pain and the main heroine inflicts pain?
God, I love Edna's body type.
Clean your finger nails kid.
Zest has loli
Bers has shouta
So Arise has loli
because they're destined lovers, obviously.

Get your faggot shit out of here, it isn't welcome. Nobody asked you to post that shit. That degenerate you choose is fucked.
I've only played Graces f and hearts.
Is this worth getting?
ARISE
Ff7re pretty much saved tgs
>thinking fujos will allow a straight romance in this series anymore
That's so fucking stupid though honestly. I can already see a confession being something along the lines of 'you made me truly feel something..the pain in my heart' and then they anime stare at each other for like 10 seconds about to kiss and the annoying mascot will show up and ruin it. MARK MY FUCKING WORDS I'VE PLAYED TOO MANY OF THESE GAMES I FUCKING JAPAN 2 NUKES WEREN'T ENOUGH
1 hour of nothing if you watched the livestream.
shota dont have vagoo
The trailer was lame and underwhelming. The only good thing about it is the little bit of gameplay they showed which at least looks like a Tales game.
Same, much better than lolis.
The seiyuu in the stream was completely flat too.
Fufufu, someone has not realized they're playing a fujoshi series.
New Butakoma set when?
Looks kinda cute.
I think the birb will be less annoying than bienfu.
Did Tales really need another dumb mascot character? The katz from Berseria was tolerable at best.
>bienfu
>switch to sub
>he's worse
Getting real sick of these voiced mascots
For once I'd like a Japanese game where 10% into the game they kiss and are like "yep, we're a thing now, get over it nerds" to the other party members.
I'm pretty sure they've had a dumb annoying mascot character in every Tales game since Abyss.
Fujo? Get the fuck outta here. There is no faggotry in this dumb fuck.
>New trailer removes release
OH NO NO NO
That's why they showed next to nothing, this won't come out till 2022.
Sometimes the mascot is the least annoying character
Where did you even pull that shit from? Fucking weirdo ass faggot bitchboi. U have a mental illness, you have issues.
>weirdo ass faggot bitchboi. U have a mental illness, you have issues.
Why does this read like a pajeet wrote it
Looks potentially cool but I was expecting more footage than this, guess the game won't be out for a while
>finally there's a new cute romance in tales of again
>cute girl
>Hideo baba getting fired again
This year is a good year for tales of
Rollo was the best mascot
It's not out yet, this is literally the first trailer since the announcement at E3.
Go try Vesperia.
if they can put all tales games on switch, and this, I'll buy it. Loved beseria but done with ps4
birb looks like an owl, so maybe lots of hooting
Tales should look way better than this even, all their games should. Bamco is actually one of the richest Japanese companies in this industry but they're cheap as fuck and cut corners wherever they can.
>He holds the sword and it continuously burns his arm
>they're cheap as fuck and cut corners wherever they can.
Well that's probably why they're rich
Could be a mage (male)
For me it's Quickie
Never forget
Like almost every other character in the game, Flynn only exists to give justification to everything Yuri does because from a narrative standpoint Yuri can do no wrong.
Will Alph be able to pull a weapon from him too?
>Not Repede
Didn't studio istolia and the new game they were working on sink with him?
It's also a franchise that has only recently started consistently hitting 1 million units with major releases. Tales is not that huge.
Also every fucking JRPG that tries to look any better than this fucking implodes under its own weight eventually. I'll take worse than average graphics over every project being an overinflated, completely mismanaged mess like every major Final Fantasy release this decade.
Bro I've got the game for you
I'm so sorry
Alphen is for Shionne only. Delete this.
Now in 4k
>mashing 3 part combos
or
>spamming one move that hits an elemental weakness
which one will this tales be?
>white hair
>orange eyebrow
>blue eyes
This combination is so ugly wtf
If someone with bigger tits comes along would Alphen be able to pull out a bigger sword from them?
Manface too
Yep the project was a total failure, SE had to pull the plug on them
see: i.imgur.com
>see trailer, protagonist is sorey-esque look alike, gay hairstyle, bland empty environment, random zoom in to empty environment
no wonder it failed eh?
That shitty ps3 model lol
yo wtf is your problem? Manface? What? Why are so many Yea Forums faggots like this? She looks like a female you shitwipe.
Think she looks bad in that outfit but fine elsewhere.
>this is considered a manface on Yea Forums
>but the tranny from control isnt
I think she looks great honestly. I get the same vibe I got from Milla and Velvet who I ended up loving immensely.
Also I know early days but I wonder who will be the cameo and get to look real nice in the Arise style. Milla was cute in Berseria.
Bros I'm starting to feel bad for Baba. I just wanted him off Tales of, I didn't want to ruin his whole life.
So do you just play as Alphen the whole game?
GAMERS RISE UP
It's anime so it doesn't take much to make them look like men since the men look close to girls.
More like Fujos Arise Up
Alright you got me there. However there are plenty in the series where dudes look like dudes.
>a man who can't feel pain, and a girl who inflicts it with her touch
Now that's the kind of edge I was missing from Japan
They showed screenshots of Shionne in combat previously, no reason to assume you can't play as party members as usual but it's not gotten a hard confirm yet I suppose
There is no male faggotry in this game, stop saying that. You're annoying, leave Yea Forums faggot, this is a heterosexual website. Your kind isn't welcome.
To be fair I saw just joking because she's making a kind of manly expression in that one screenshot, she looks girly otherwise.
They'll all be playable obviously. The real question is if they'll make them all equally fun.
Sorry, I should've said just Alphen or Shionne. Because this is the first Tales game where we haven't got a view of at least most of the playable cast from the first trailer.
Tales is a landwhale series about anal sex between male characters.
>leave Yea Forums faggot, this is a heterosexual website
Whatever, you're still a retard. Even autistic people find you sad
They mentioned in an interview before that there will be other party members (including the new character we saw at the end of this trailer presumably), no idea why they're dripfeeding the information this time
Yeah no it isn't. You're infesting Yea Forums with nasty perversions and disgusting fetishes. Im merely trying to help you people, you have issues.
This user is correct. Half of the TGS show for Tales was male idols and everyone knows male idols are the apex of heterosexuality
Those deserve to be deleted and most people active on it are either faggots or heterosexual cucks who worship females. You're an infestation, it's hard to kill roaches, no matter what they continue to multiply.
Take it easy buddy, After zestiria failure they will never pander to fujo ever again
fujo in this thread are just trying to cope
>You're infesting Yea Forums with nasty perversions and disgusting fetishes
Nobody asked for your opinion.
Well according to this article most of the people who attend the events are female but most of the people actually play the game are male so stop making up bullshit claims.
ign.com
Male idols are a power fantasy for the male fanbase though
There was no faggotry in ANY of the tales games, zero, zelch, nothing.
Women don't play games, they only come to event because like that because they're attention whore
they're just asking to be raped by bbc t b h
Mao looks kinda cute
Crestoria got 2 new characters and a future livestream date announced.
Plus they showed off an entire battle.
Main line my ass, arise is a joke.
Judging by the absolute state of the series, the times where heterosexual pairings were a thing are long gone.
Only fujo hell now.
That's only in certain sections, those include, faggot males, faggot females, half-faggots and trannies.
Nobody asked for your opinion either you overly sensitive bitch, imagine reacting this hard over a few fujo jokes
Or homosexual pairings between girls
Hey man, you sound like really dumb right now.
This looks pretty great.
This looks cool as hell.
I don't get why shitty action combat in FF7R gets so much praise and attention when there are way better action rpgs
Thank fucking god actually, yuriniggers shouldn't get any content
No not really, nope. Usually almost always main protag, female heroine. Usually implied to be heterosexual.
>mfw Field of Fonons 2.0
PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN
I actually really liked that mechanic
Reminds me of that ouran pasta from a decade ago
>They're such heterosexual chick magnets they act gay but that only makes girls want them more
>tfw another few months of information drought
Ain't no fucking fujos on here asswipe. It's faggots who always post that weird crap. Don't post faggotry in a section not made for faggotry.
What makes you think Estelle and Rita are faggots? What's more one person is 15 the other is 18, that's fucked either way.
Who the fuck cares about "implications"?
They will never allow an actual straight romance at least Luke/Tear style because fujos are enraged by it.
The thing you need to realize about fujos is that they don't care about their own ship not present in the game as long as nothing threatens it canonically.
That would be lit. I also wonder if he'll lose HP while the flame sword is drawn.
Tales of magazine when? I think they'll reveal the newly teased character's artwork there.
Too bad, because you're getting some now
>He doesn't want to dress sharp and be the sex symbol of thousands of teenage girls while you sing songs full of innuendos at them and get to do collab songs with teenage idol girls
is inuboshi still active? asking for a friend haha
>I also wonder if he'll lose HP while the flame sword is drawn.
He also shouldn't flinch in battle.
How weird would it be to get told he doesn't feel pain then in battle he gets hit, screams and is in hitstun like all the other characters.
Imagine being in a Tales thread on a site with several gay boards and making this post.
Sure they upped the graphics, but the character models still look really budgety.
>Who the fuck cares about "implications"?
>They will never allow an actual straight romance at least Luke/Tear style because fujos are enraged by it.
>The thing you need to realize about fujos is that they don't care about their own ship not present in the game as long as nothing threatens it canonically.
Okay, Jude and Milla, definitely want each other, whole fucking opening at the end with them holding hands, officially heterosexual. There was some tomboy and who was it luke? Yeah those two. Emil and Marta from Tales of symphonia dawn of the new world( one of the best tales of games ever made), Tales of Hearts R with Kohaku and Kor. Then we got Tales of Innocence with Ruca and his girl Illia Animi. We also have Tales of Graces with Cheria and Asbel.
Okay get the hell out of here with misinformation faggot.
As I said, male idols are the apex of heterosexuality and all you're doing is confirming my statement
Even if he doesn't feel pain, flinching still makes sense. The force of the attack would still move your body even if it doesn't hurt.
>the times where heterosexual pairings were a thing are long gone.
Jude and Milla and Velvet and Laphicet though.
Keep being annoying faggot.
What several faggot threads? I haven't seen them and this isn't a faggot thread retard.
>There was some tomboy and who was it luke?
Her name is Rutee and she is precious
Who let /pol/ in
Maybe when we were in the dark age of Hideous baba, but after my bros fukaya save us from baba, now tales is great again
He's the one who fight snoy censorship for the west, he's a fucking hero, that's also why he got promotion after berseria to became of namco director
>GammerClick: In Tales of Berseria, the protagonist Velvet wears a rather revealing costume, with a lot of skin in sight. That’s why during a recent event I directly asked Producer Yasuhiro Fukaya to promise that her outfit won’t be changed. His response was encouraging:
>Fukaya: I promise. Velvet’s costume will surely be the same in the western version. The design of that costume is created by Mutsumi Inomata, and she created that costume based on the character’s concept and setting, and on the storyline.
>GamerClick: Many player didn't like Zestiria. Do you think they'll like more Berseria?
>Fukaya: Talking about content, the secondary chapters in Zestiria were less than in previous games, but in Berseria we're going to have a lot of secondary chapters, and many oh them will give important informations abaotu the main story. In the same way, while Zestiria doens't have mini games, Berseria we'll have many mini games.
>GamerClick: Velvet is similar to Milla, is it just a coincidence?
>Fukaya: Milla was very important in the process of Velvet's creation, because Milla is one of most beloved characer of the series, not only in Japan, but even in Europe and North America. So no, it was not a coincidence, and it was very difficult to create a character like Milla.
Dude, most people who are into the male idols are fucking females not dudes. Dudes are into female idols.
Though both groups are insufferable cringe worthy retards.
>They will never allow an actual straight romance at least Luke/Tear style because fujos are enraged by it.
Jude and Milla are the most straightforward, vanilla, hetero romance the series has ever had. And no one complains about that.
>Shionne inflicts pain on all she touches
So is she NTR proof? Does that mean the fat oji-san with the 10-inch baseball bat dicks can't break her?
keep to your discord tranny
Only alphen can dick her.
But since he's a slave they cut it off, too bad.
>Milla so good she had that much of an impact on Velvet's creation
Feels good.
I'm glad Milla gave us the age of the big titty onee-san who is super capable and beautiful.
Don't expect any hetero doujinshi or fanart from this.
Velvet came before the censorship policy though
Velvet is still the best design MC ever, milla is second
I royally corrected this faggot already, don't worry he won't be stupid enough to say anything else.
You don't know what flinching is do you? Go google it dumbass.
Yeah that bitch.
I mean the creator does' both sides, plenty of dudes in the series that wear revealing clothing.
>Majority of people into male idols are female
Sounds pretty heterosexual to me.
Velvet's game was censored though.
I hope I brought some sense into this thread. The faggots don't seem to be posting. Let's hope they aren't actual cockroaches who don't go away/
I remember when fujoshit crying when she first announced
still makes me giggle to this day
You're a fucking idiot.
Meh, who cares. Not like it really kills the gameplay.
>They will never allow an actual straight romance
>Jude and Milla are the most straightforward, vanilla, hetero romance the series has ever had
Stahn and Rutee straight up hook up and have a child in Destiny.
Same with Asbel and Cheria in Graces.
Don't know what the fuck that user is on about. The series has never shied away from portraying actual romances.

Why dont they just say steam?
Too bad the only thing yuriniggers can do is pull fanart out of their ass
You're just as bad as fujos
Changes of the mage with the bird mascot of becoming a party member?
Yuri does bitch him out if that was you wanted to know, you are just sure early on.
>bitch
Leave.
Wow, this guy sure is mad. Guess I should post more gay shit.
Japanese trailer says Steam.

No way they'd tease an actual party member at an event like this.
>obligatory other party members
A real shame. Could've been a really intresting take with only the two of them.
>Velvet and Laphicet
Not a couple unfortunately and never will be
>no new party members
>not even a release date yet
Whats the point
This shit aint coming for another year.
I really want to go back to Berseria for these two but I can't decide whether to post-game then NG+, or NG+ then post-game and it's been making me put it off for months.
I did the main story and the Zaveid fight and that's pretty much it.
Not in story, but they were pushing the angle for those who are into it. Which I appreciate.
Still not enough info to say anything definitively. She might travel with you but not actually be playable, or you only interact with her for like 3% of the game.
toarise.tales-ch.jp
The official website still says 2020.
Curious why they didn't show that at the end of the teaser.
Do post-game then NG+, you unlock some costumes in the post-game and pretty much your only chance to use them is in NG+ since there's no content left to do once you unlock them in the post-game.
You're only proving him right.
The new producer guy for Tales of Arise also seems like a cool guy, he's also the producer of God's eater, so we can epect good actions and sexy girls from him
i'll be happy if he bring some of the feature from God Eater
>youtube.com
>visible panties, heroine room
I think we got our tales of back
Them being so fucking stingy every reveal makes me think the game isnt as far in the development process as they had initially expected.
There was already a pantyshot of shionne so that feels promising.
I thought the God Eater guy was already working on Code Vein
That's actually an extremely good point I didn't consider, wow.
Thanks user. I'll start after my Monster Hunter in a few hours.
I never played any Tales of series in my life.
Can you guys help me which game is good to start?
You're a fucking idiot.
They're good costumes if you have an exhibitionism fetish
I just wish the NPCs reacted to you wearing them when you talked to them.
Are you actually triggered over a fictional character?
You've been doing nothing but trying to pick fights the whole thread, so leave
It's the bath towel stuff right? Could be good.
Yep, the fucking roaches are back. Yeah let's post perversion comparable to fucking incest. Yep, I guess it's going to take more effort to remove roaches from this holy land.
Eat shit.
Your parents didn't love you as a child, this is why you post this degenerate fetish as a way to cope with your pathetic upbringing.
I''ll let dis shit pass, don't look like faggotry to me.
Yep, this guy understands my pain.
Tales of Xilia.
>Combat is most likely going to be just as braindead as Berseria/Zestiria
>RPG mechanics will probably still not amount to more than "collect 100 generic weapons and combine/break/enhance them in tedious menu hopping+grind"
>Probably still some sort of large, empty, soulless open-world but not really concept
I want Arise to be good, but the last couple of Tales games have been so awful that it's hard to have any hope.
Yeah i kinda forgot that he's also the producer of code vein
Who the fuck is this retard
Can't believe almost every game I'm looking forward to now are Bamco games. I was pretty positive I was going to swear off of Bamco after Berseria and Jump Force.
Yeah, I think it looks good on Velvet and Magilou. For some reason Eleanor's shoulders are kinda broad though. And on Laphicet it looks kinda cool since it makes him look like those old angel paintings where they only wear a white cloth.
youtube.com
Any new info on this big boobies summoner chick from the first trailer?
I agree but most people would complain if it was just those two
Yeah I'm done with TGS after this year.
Every trailer is a recap of info we already know plus 1% new stuff and all the live events are wasted on shilling gacha and voice actors.
Makes me miss E3.

Who's next
Why did you want him off?
Old man traitor
Hey, you're not the retard, fuck you.
Overly friendly and cheerful dude that definately won't betray you.
oh typo, you're the faggot.
Granny party member when?
She'd be the best at cooking.
Childhood friend tomboy of sword dude who is in love with him but gets cucked by healer waifu
So, i played Abyss, Vesperia, both Xillias, Zestiria, and Berseria. What should be the next in the series for me?
Why go to an event like this if you have literally nothing to show.
Isn't it super expensive to attend?
Unironically Baba wanted to do it but he's gone and the new producer only wants waifus and edge in his games.
We're never going to get another Tales game that plays like Symphonia/Abyss/Vesperia.
It's not fair, bros.
Symphonia is dated, but still enjoyable, likeable characters and tons of content.
I hope you can make her wear the white outfit during the game and not just in (what I assume to be) the first few hours.
>that nose
USE FUCKING CELL SHADING GOD DAMN VESPERIA LOOKS BETTER THAN BERSERIA FUCK
Hideo "doing something as good quality as Tales of Vesperia again would be too much work so it's not happening, please understand LMAO" Baba being long and far gone from the vicinity of the series is the best thing that could have ever happened.
She'll be the best member then
Would have probably looked bad if all of Bamco except the Tales team showed up for TGS.
Leia deserved better
It's pretty much required at this point. The female part of the fanbase (over half) loves them.
I'm pretty sure every modern game sans Graces has one. Some are actually decent to, though it's usually only the ones that don't talk (Repede, that cat from Xillia 2).
Looks good. It's the first game to not reuse a shitload of assets since Tales of Symphonia on the GameCube.
Well it sounds like they are trying to rebuild it from the ground up with all new people in charge, right? At the very least, they're not being lazy when it comes to the world design this time around. Maybe they'll actually put effort into the other stuff as well.
She has Alvin now so she'll be fine
>That one scene of Rollo looking sad and confused while the kresnik brothers were killing each other
That was kino desu
>Arche (Mint has huge knockers)
>Leia (Milla also has huge knockers)
This game better not have denuvo. I want to buy this game day 1, and I want to do so without having it infect my computer with denuvo.
Did Bandai Namco just blow modern Final Fantasy the fuck out?
Tales of graces f obviously.
Why didn't it just say Steam then?
Are they going to make it fucking EGS exclusive in the west?
It better be because they're putting it on GOG but I doubt it.
So is he technically her slave or is that bullshit?
Jesus if this is what Tales looks like after a year off imagine what Gust could do with Atelier if they just stopped shitting them out one a year too.
I hope the owl gets a mana ring so we actually have some potential for good dungeon design.
Don't worry, the next one after this will reuse assets from this one.
>one a year
They already released Nelke and Lulua this year and they're releasing Ryza this month. That's three in one fucking year.
Because they hope by the time it releases they can also sell it on the EGS as well as Steam (like Cyberpunk) since the store is supposed to open up in 2020. There was an interview with some PR guy from Bamco where he said that the company doesn't like the idea of exclusives in general but would gladly put their games on the EGS if they can also put them everywhere else
That makes sense I guess. I just thought it was weird that it actually said Steam in the Japanese trailer. But I guess that makes sense.
They're also working on that new Fairy Tail game which they said is 50% done meaning it was probably in development alongside Ryza. Why does Gust run themselves so ragged? Is doing back to back releases the only way they can bring in enough money to stay afloat?
It's speculation but maybe the EGS doesn't work well in Japan since it doesn't support that one prepaid card japanese love to use to buy things digitally. Don't remember how they are called but I remember some presentation where it showed something like 80% of japanese Steam transaction being done with them
>EGS exclusive
I always wondered what would make me pick the PS4 version over PC and this might be it.
I even put up with Denuvo.
is this all we got? bit disappointed
Is there a chance that pic related will happen? Gintama is a Bamco IP now
At best, you'll get a collab in Rays.
Every Tales game either has a loli, a shota, or a JB
>JB
Justice Barrage?!
god i want to disappoint her in bed so bad
think back to a term that was more used in 2005 on Yea Forums
Looking at the official hashtag on twitter there are close to no posts. Crestoria has more people hyped.
Really bad presentation overall.
yeah they didn't really release any new info so that doesn't surprise me
i was expecting a full presentation of most characters, the battle system or the story/world
instead we get this rehashed trailer and a 0.1s glimpse of a mascot and a loli mage
Jack Black?
Cute
More like Tales of Arse
I was hoping for one or two party members and one or two antagonists, and more story along with that.
Followed by explanation on the battle system and them doing a short live demo. Previously in an article they said there will still be overworld encounters as in old tales games so I would have liked to see that.

MILLA IS THE BEST TALES
Why do JP marketing like to waste our time these days. They could've tweeted this shit out on opening day.
i feel like tales releases most of their info in famitsu randomly, but i still expected more from tgs
I just wanted some fucking battle information
at the very least show us the battle ui
Fuck that, half the fun is the multi player in these games.
>famitsu
No, they have their own magazine where they release info.

When was the last time we have love story between two main characters in JRPG?
Ps3,ps4 era full of tease couple but not real one.
The old "Sword is floating on my back" trick.
i can only think of ff8 and ff10 but i don't play much outside of tales and ff
was tear and luke a thing?
>The healer is a ranged DPS class.
Every Time
it's likely healing will be useless if they're building off the previous game
That's why I want ui for these trailers, the entire fire combo could have been an arte.
V A G I N A B O N E S
Where? Post the pantyshot.
is it Tales of Arise, like the Sepultura album, or Ah-Ree-Seh?
Which tales of game do I start with?
How many times has that not been the case now that you mention it? Rutee, Hisui and Sophie? Not sure what Estelle counts as and I used Raven anyway.
kek, jail bait you lovely bastard.
Different people. Code Vein has The God Eater 1 DIRECTOR.
Tales of Arise has the God Eater SERIES producer.
It's why people who think Tales will suddenly play like God eater are fucking retarded.
what happened to this series
That pic is so dumb
based blackbuster
Delicious virgin white panties.
Legit impressed by the graphics this time, looks like they FINALLY decided to go at least current gen. Even if I ain't a graphics whore, I gotta appreciate it.
Now they just gotta make it fun:
>add more playable party members
>dont make MC too strong
>dont make casters too boring
>pay attention to detail, that burning field effect, grass gotta actually catch fire or at least look withered/charred, not just red
Some of these probably won't happen in classic Tales of fashion but a guy can hope.
>dont make MC too strong
He's already going to have perma-Glory
>perma-Glory
sorry what now?
Judging by the trailer it sounds like the healing arte is very rare so are we really going to have a tales game with only one healer capable member?
Has that happened before?
Or is it going to be a plot-type healing that is restricted to her while there are other "Not!healing" artes in combat.
If I recall correctly it is stagger-immunity which is end-game tier.
If he can't feel pain then why would he have hitstun?
Vesperiafags how far do I have to get into the game before they give me the stuff so it's no longer half a game? Spamming the same artes and 5 hit combos for every encounter is starting to grate a bit.
Yeah, why would a bull charging at me throw me in the air when I can't feel pain.
kinetic force?
Just because he cant feel pain doesnt mean he wont get flinged if a giant monster hits him you fucking moron. You just wont hear pain grunts. Instead they'll probably go for frustrated grunts like "damn!".
>you fucking moron
Looks good lads. After the merger and kicking Baba out of the studio it seems they're finally getting a grip on the series again
>is starting to grate a bit
I don't know where you are in the game but I'd guess very early. I'd recommend the use of cheat engine to skip the LP/Art Usage/Cooking EXP grind and a sidequest guide so you can complete them all in one playthrough. It's very possible to do so and it's not very restrictive at all. Certain things in Kouli's guide might be somewhat off but you're guaranteed to be able to clear all sidequests despite that. Only minor issues such as a sidequest not being available without a full party and it's not mentioned on his guide and not being able to immediately start a side quest despite what says in the guide. Just go ahead and double check everything user, you should take at least 80+ or so hours(with cheat engine help) like me if you do everything.
If you're playing on normal the beginning is kind of the hard part of the game where you don't have a lot of resources to work with, so the game gets easier as you unlock stuff
I'd say when you get bal'ul is when the game really picks up on a lot of what creates combo variety, but until then I suggest notchin it up to hard, messing around with different characters, chasing after skills/weapons for synth
until then just enjoy the comfiness because it all goes to shit when it gets serious
It's really only the last two mainline games that moved away from a traditional romance which is why I think Arise is going to do it with Alphen and Shionne due to the whole rebirth of the franchise angle.
Unless you are a Nintendo owned IP.
Please tell me we aren't going back to "change artes everytime so you exploit the enemies' weaknesses".
Rebirth doesn't have any healers if that counts.
rude
>no heal spells
>no attacks
go back to drawing circles on the ground annie
>PC Day 1
Thank god, with all the cosmetic dlc crap going on in this series this is long overdue.
Will PC have the same release date as consoles?
Jude and Milla was one of the most upfront romances in the series especially in 2, the issue is that game was tragic for everyone involved and part of their character was fully realizing they both love eachother but that they have to go their seperate ways, with 2 being them fully aware that their reuinion is temporary.
I mean there's not even a regular release date announced but it's the first time they put steam/pc on the trailers.
Also isn't that standard now for bandai?
Well you don't have to be so mean about it
Top tier waifu.

That's so fucking chuuni. I love it.
it's going to be another shitty sakuraba ost, isn't it?
Yeah that's what it sounded like.
they said something like "the composer choice will surprise people" so its probably not sakuraba
oh that's nice
i was just watching the trailer again and it sounded awfully sakurabaish
inb4 sakuraba is the surprise
I'll punch the producer if that's the case.
Why do I think this looks more visually impressive than the footage from FFVIIR?
Maybe it's because it actually appears to have a full spectrum of colour.
I hope I am wrong about FFVIIR, but everything I've seen of it so far looks like a damn Snyder movie or something.
Really though. Why are people praising the visuals of FFVIIR like it's pushing the entire medium to its next level or something, and then things like this goes completely under the radar.
Why aren't gaming sites fellating the game's visuals like they've done to all the other games like FFXV, FFVIIR, GoW, or Horizon etc, etc.
I'll be really happy if it's all Go Shiina. I'll pre-order immediately if it's Okabe.
Shiina composed the best song he could for Idolmaster, and then left the company shortly after.
He doesn't work for Bamco anymore.
they should poach a squenix composer
too much good talent locked up there
Bias because nostalgia
Muh realism and muh grafix (while ignoring all the anime shit somehow and shitting on Tales for being anime)
I will enjoy 7R greatly but people just wank it too hard
This game is a leap for the Tales of series, but otherwise of that context looks like nothing special.
FFVIIR looks drab, but is technically up there with very high poly characters, high res textures, great lighting and particle effects.
There's two Sakuraba's though, there's the shitty Sakuraba who just reuses the same fast paced battle theme across 3 different JRPGs and then there's the Sakuraba who composed Dark Souls themes.
If we get the latter I'll be happy.
i hate everything about dark souls
I'm glad you hate popular thing, but the music is very good and well used too.
It's astounding to me that this is the same guy who just spat out so many generic JRPG battle themes before.
Did he say why he left? Though after being shafted for Sakuraba's nothing music, I'd be salty too.
I think he said "My work here is done."
The panel was fun, but not very informative. It was basically a glorified VA talking panel. Not that it wasn't good for that aspect but when you have a TGS panel you expect breaking news. In the end all we get is one new trailer and the new trailer doesn't even reveal anything, it TEASES at a new character (a loli mage). Not that I'm concerned about the state of the game, but it is frustrating since they built up so much hype with the reveal, and now it seems like they're just intent on keeping their cards to their chest while continuing to build more hype.
>Will never pander to fujos again
>Keeps pandering dumb fujo ship in Zestiria since fujos will defend it and keep it relevant for them
I mean I hope you're right because I'm also real tired of fujos but Bamco will unfortunately exploit what makes them cash in the end, even if it's not by direct ways. On the other hand, it's unlikely that they'll ever go completely fujo like people keep claiming since that would also actually kill the series since fujos don't even need vague canon subtext for their fantasies to survive. Giving Alph a va also well known for his BL/R18 Otome CDs makes me hope they got him to pander to fujos in an attempt to keep their cash while being able to fully put in an established hero/heroine romance for the first time in a good while.
It looks really good because they use PC 4k footage and have nice custom shaders for lighting and flame effects.
If the FF7R footage wasn't from PS4 gameplay it might look more impressive as well.
I think it was mostly a recap panel for Japanese fans because last time all the info came from E3.
So in their mind this is all new info for Japan.
>Sakuraba

How does he even get away with it?
Tales fans, the ones in Japan anyway, are all about magazine shit and fanservice. The types of people who get hype over Lloyd in a cafe uniform and some inane quirk their favorite girl/boy has.
Then they Uwooooh! In unison. I dont remember the exact event, but there's a video with a bunch of fan reactions and it's 100% females Bamco interviewed.
This TGS was basically the FF7R event
>I'm also real tired of fujos but Bamco will unfortunately exploit what makes them cash in the end
So why is it ok when titty monsters are manufactured to appeal to boys?
The combat looking as smooth as it is gets me excited, cause the combat in tales games has always been a bit of a problem child for me.
Because it makes my peepee hard
TGS in general has been going downhill
And 3 days of Kojima.
>not 3000 times body sensitive

Noice, the characters can finally emote. This is truly next gen Tales.
Can we get some new writers for the series?
I feat that with better combat the story will be generic trash.
Maybe skits will show their 3D models this time.
fear*
Designs are already generic. They even reused Lailah design.
rather they not. keep with tradition.
It's great like dark souls
WHERE THE FUCK IS MY XILLIA ANIME
I'LL TAKE PC OR PS4 OR SWITCH PORTS EVEN
PLEASE I NEED MORE XILLIA
Because nee-chans are top tier user, though reminder that not all female fans are fujos and that I would personally like it if I was able to enjoy cute tales boys without always running into fujo bait and/or fanart of them by artists who want to see them dick each other since they don't understand the concept of friendship these days.
>They even reused Lailah design
There's so much praise for Velvet but I think her outfit and just being custom pallet Milla is absolute trash. Personality and an outfit swap are what saved Bears for me. Even though I still dropped it.
Lailah's turbo ponytail made sense at least, given what she was. To clone her with barely any difference is lazy and I hope gameplay/OST makes it worth a buy. Will give her a new hairstyle immediately if it's not DLC hell.
>tfw i couldn't even finish vesperia port 10 years later
doubt i would finish the xillia games a second time either
it sucks to go back to those ancient combat systems
>they don't understand the concept of friendship these days.
Oh, they do. But it's still hot and thus worth drawing.
Like the thousands of incestfags that will guaranteed push brother/sister shit.
I honestly don't even get the hate for "fujos" because in every franchise I'm a fan of that has a fujo fanbase (DRRR, Fate and Tales are the biggest examples), not only are the girls fantastic, but the guys often have fun dynamics or interesting stories. As fucking gay as Sorey and Mikleo can be interpreted, it's cool to just see two bro tier friends like that, and Rokurou/Eizen/Laphi dynamic was genuinely god tier too.
I just genuinely don't see an issue. Especially as long as they keep making Ednas/Millas/Velvets/Magilous.
I think those conversations are maximum comfy.
The mascot looks a little generic. Maybe it can transform or something.
Other than being an adult female with long hair, what do Velvet and Milla even have in common?
Their personalities are completely different. One's a hyper-capable literal goddess that lacks knowledge of social standards but has a lot of charm because of her sincerity. The other is an immensely angry woman who wants revenge but lets her inner big sister come out occasionally.
This, also if you don't know about fujos you don't even notice the fujo bait.
Because hurf durf faggets get off my vidya. That's all. Wanting the series to drop their main money source is like wanting Dead or Alive to push the men in tight, shirtless outfits and drop $5000 in bikinis.
It'd be financial suicide for a minorities peace of mind and satisfaction.
>what do Velvet and Milla even have in common?
Both make my penis the big penis.
cartoony = bad
Pretty much nothing outside caring for a younger boy that wants the V.
Reskin because popularity is just really tacky design when you don't do anything creative with it. And there's nothing creative about Velvet's appearance.
Everything so far looks great, but there is still one big unknown that is worrying me.
Will it be Graces/Zesty/Berseria combat or will it be Abyss/Vesperia/Xillia combat.
Please don't make another one after Berseria.
>mc's weapon burns his hands but he can use it because he doesnt feel pain
I see they've decided to go even more edgy from berseria
It's a shame Xillia-2's combat got thrown out. Because I think it could have really pushed specific weapons for weaknesses. But you can still unga bunga with anything when you have busted party members to do the heavy lifting with magic and buffs.
Yeah, they went from Berseria to literally Berserk.
I don't know about "creative" but I'd argue its appeal is completely different from Millas.
Millas design is all about natural beauty. Her outfit shows bare skin while being visually simplistic, sticks to bright colours, using dark only to contrast and frame, and her hair is very clearly meant to look like it flows naturally.
Velvet is the polar opposite and is about her uncaring attitude. Her design is messy, sharp and dark, with superfluous detail (primarily the tears) to exaggerate these elements.
They're very clearly not going for the same thing beyond simply being an older female.
My top worries so far:
- Combat system
- Empty open world
- Bland corridor dungeons
- Run from marker to next marker on your map linear story
You dont really get this until later on but flynns point ends up being more of a "where does the line end?" type thing cause yuri gets a little too murder happy and suffers internally because of it
Yeah the seraphim we see in game split off from the ones who went back to the heavenly realm or whatever that higher plane of origin they had. Those seraphim that went back got pissed off at the ones that stayes and cursed the world with malevolence
>sharp and dark, with superfluous detail (primarily the tears) to exaggerate these elements.
There are ways to do that outside of looking like she just pulled something from a shredder. And then ripped at it some more.
We know she pulled any old thing to cover up with, but it looks like something a teen with a hard on would come up with.
Looks pretty good so far imo
But Assbell is popular
Berseria combat is great as long as you dont play velvet
Reminder that when the producer was asked whether or not there's gonna be gay shit he basically said no way fag. Romance is back on the menu boys
I'm not saying her design is good, just that what it's doing is different from Milla.

it will be a ps4 port.
If they wanted to implement that then they would probably have him tank through most quick/light attacks from small and human-sized enemies. Anything punching in a bigger weight class would make him flinch.
Unless his emo power can be enhanced, he probably won’t have max super armor
>spiderman
Please don't tell me you still buy that puddle meme.
It's funny cause all the negative reviews for graces f on JP Amazon are nothing but whining about Cheria because of the ending.
Nope. Separate setting.
Tales tends to reuse a lot of tropes.
Because they're using UE4, but they made an actual effort to customize the shaders so it doesn't have that generic "made in UE4" look or even worse, the Jump Force look.
Astral chain has and ability for that and it's a double edged sword.
Normally once you're in hit-stun you fly back and lie down, causing some multi-hit attacks to only hit you once, but when you equip the no-flinch stuff those attacks hit once per half second absolutely shredding your life bar.
What’s the best game of this franchise so I can get into it? People said it was Vesperia but I played it for a couple hours and it was the most basic anime tropey shit I’ve ever played.
Destiny Directors Cut
abyss maybe?
Tales of Phantasia on SNES
Abyss on an emulator. Hope you like backtracking though.
What? This was a thing?
Both characters had love interests.
I was actually kinda mad about how there was no indication that Little Bro creampied Pascal by the end.
When people say "best game in Tales" they're usually referring to the gameplay and characters. They'll be some deviations and subversions here and there, but 'basic anime tropey shit" is what Tales thrives in.
Berseria is good, it doesn't have the best combat but the storyline is based and redpilled and basically the JRPG answer to John Wick.
Okabe only works with his best buddy Taro.
If you have a problem with anime tropes then you Tales wont be for you.
>Play a JRPG for a couple hours
>JRPG is typically a 40+ hour genre
>Tales known for being roughly 70-80-hour titles
>Thinks he saw anything at all in those 2 hours
What a dumb faggot.
>This was a thing?
Pixiv, friend. There's gigs worth of Assbell x Richard/Hubert. Just as there's limitless Luke x Guy and Jude x Anyone except Rowen.
Artists with the means do not give a damn as long as they can make their own fanservice. And the Tales of art is apparently easy to emulate for them.
Destiny DC has the best combination of gameplay, characters, presentation, pacing and dungeon design. The story is basic but you'll be glad there's so little of it because it'd just get in the way of actually playing it.
>plays a blatant anime game
>complains its got anime tropes
I don't know what you expected.
I don’t think I saw everything. The problem is I didn’t want to keep seeing the shit it was showing me when I could I use that time playing something else like DQ 11
You're fucking retarded. From every metric the best game is Vesperia and it stands out as one of the greatest JRPGs of all time. It's a testament the game is highly replayable 10 years after release and in 2019 still stands up there as one of the best looking, open and modern JRPGs to date.
playboth asshat. you're obviously underage so you have a lot of games to catch up on
>it stands out as one of the greatest JRPGs of all time
Even as a talesfag, I heavily disagree. It's good, but not that good.
Story is shit and completely forgettable. The skits were forced and contributed little to the plot/character building. When coo-coo is the most memorable line in a game you know the story is shit.
>Budget + making a game solely for the PS4
But it's not solely for the PS4. Right in the trailer it says PS4, Xbox One, and PC Digital.
The sheer number of skits that build the world, express the character's PoV/inner thoughts and development, in addition to the inane/laughable team building comedy skits etc. If you watch everything in the game it's clear how meticulous it all is. Also the strict sidequest system, how NG+ completely transforms combat, etc all of it lends to a level of replayability that forces the player to go back in and re-experience the characters story and progression all over again is something that is unmatched in any other modern JRPG.
>Story is shit and completely forgettable.
Like I said, It's John Wick. Velvet's only concern is revenge throughtout the entire game, not saving the world. She never puts the greater good above her own feelings, right up until the very end. Even when she finds out her brother's murder was done with consent she doesn't change her goal. That's the beauty of the story.
I don't know any other games that tell it at all, let alone as well.
>.t cant form his own opinion
Can you not read? I already played it and it bored me half to death. Why would I keep playing it? That’s a rhetorical question btw because clearly you like the game and see nothing wrong with it and I know you’re going to respond with some stupid shit
>how NG+ completely transforms combat, etc all of it lends to a level of replayability that forces the player to go back in and re-experience the characters story and progression all over again
Tell that to Nier Automata's all letters of the alphabet endings.
That's the problem. The story is too heavily focused on Velvet. It makes the ensemble completely background filler and thus forgettable. A game should be about the journey. Unfortunately the only thing that REALLY stands out about Berseria is the beginning (Velvet's reason for wanting revenge) and the outcome. Everything that happens between doesn't matter. And that's the problem.
Berseria was a PS3 game and Tales team sat on their hands the entire generation.
>spiderman
It released and looked exactly like the trailers.
>zelda botw
It released and also looked exactly like the trailers (disregarding the concept trailer which was just that, an early concept trailer).
I'm not sure why it's a problem. I'm going to keep comparing it to John Wick, where the middle of that movie is just Keanu killing people who are in his way. The point of a revenge story is just revenge, if anything else happened it would dilute Velvet's purpose in the story.
>A game should be about the journey.
Why?
This game is about revenge, nothing else.
And that's a good thing.
>plays jrpg for 5 hrs
>quits
>why is it so boring??
git gud scrub
>>A game should be about the journey.
>Why?
because rather than WASTE 80 hours you can just watch the beginning and spoil the ending on youtube. saves you $50.
Well, if you'd rather watch a movie, I can recommend one. Guess which.
But if you want to play a JRPG with a plot revolving around revenge instead then Berseria is an option and by focusing on something other games don't it very much stands out amongst its peers.
ESL the comment was in response to your reasoning
>>A game should be about the journey.
>Why?
>This game is about revenge, nothing else.
>And that's a good thing.
JRPGs are about ROLEPLAYING. To suggest the JOURNEY doesn't matter is like saying you don't need to bother with roleplaying in a roleplaying game. If all you care about is John Wick's revenge, go to Youtube and search Berseria Ending and be done with it.
