Edna stole and saved the show. The game would be an abomination without her. Symonne is also good for loli fulfillment purposes.

Fusing characters is really fun and that you can make the npc fuse and unfuse with a button makes it really fucking strategical.

So you're not gonna expand on that, just say "wrong" and expect me to take your word for it

The issue doesnt seem to be Rose but Alisha fans to be batshit insane for her and the va.

He's right though, Tales games do have some bite to them if you play on Insane or Chaos. I try to unlock Hard asap and play that way. The enhanced version of the end boss after you beat Silva on Hard was a pain in the ass

I think most of the complaints have to do with how unnecessarily complicated the combat can be with how many mechanics there are. Not that these are vital in the slightest but it's a lot to process

oh she won the yuribowl alright

Farah

Half your party is locked. A plot that is pretty fucking stupid, even by Tales standards. Many dropped plot points. Rose worship.

How can you murder something stillborn?

>Another fucking Phantasia remake
No fuck that

All the player characters all suck besides Edna and Alisha. The latter is constantly booted out of your party and marketing made it seem like she would be the "main" girl. There might be like one funny skit per character that doesn't involve Edna.

The villains suck besides Symonne and I only like her because of her legal lolidom.

The mechanics of the world make absolutely no sense and are full of contradictions that will make your head spin. The story isn't the least bit interesting, and I honestly can't remember the details on more than two sidequests after having done them all. Though I will say playing Berseria made Zestiria a TINY bit more enjoyable. Not saying it will make a world of difference, but if you play Berseria first and see the connections that way instead of the reverse, it may make the story a bit more bearable for you.

Towns and locales are equally as dreary, although I kinda dug the end dungeon. Most of the dungeons suffer from looking like samey hallways though. Not saying their linear, there's just no environment variety

Once you figure out that spamming arrows in Water Armitization will kill 97% of the threats in the game on easier difficulties, strategy goes out the window. Harder difficulties require you to pay attention to equipment and...

The equip system is ass. The game doesn't have anything "fun" to do with junk items like shop affinity in Xillia or Dualizing in Graces F. It takes either an autistic amount of experimentation to figure out how to get the combination of affinities you want on your weapons and items or a lot of online research

In retrospect, I feel like I'm having reverse nostalgia because I definitely enjoyed it more than all that as I was playing than Symphonia which is my least favorite Tales. I'm really trying to remember the good parts, but I feel like I was genuinely pushing forward in it to see Edna be a sarcastihole to everyone

>Rose at 2nd
At least Mikleo being 1st makes sense, he fucking carried Zestiria.

Japan has shit taste for not liking Arche. Probably because she's not a virgin, I don't see Raine on here either.

Shitty restricting combat makes fights unfun. Combine that that with the worst battle camera the franchise has ever had AND a very poor attempt at open world seamless battle transitions and you have a generally less than stellar experience.

Oh for sure. Every entertainment industry has. I'm saying it's going to get worse. Far, far worse.

I will shill this game to death but god what a dumb equipment system, utter garbage.

I'm going to ignore everything about the story and characters, because although it is mostly unanimous in how it is disliked in that regard, it is technically still an opinion, so I will focus on the mechanical problems.
-the gameplay is just a step down from previous games, it is a convoluted mess and yet still somehow just ends up being best done via button mashing
-on the off chance you actually like playing the games with other people which is rare, but as somebody who can personally speak from experience, who has played through the majority of the tales games they have played with a group of three or four people, I can personally attest to the fact that it sucks immense ass that you are effectively locked to only two people being able to play at the same time due to the way this game works, where you are basically ALWAYS going to be in the fusion state.
-Camera problems exist due to the nature of it taking the area you are immediately in, and making it the battle zone.
There were probably some more mechanical issues, but these are the ones I remember off the top of my head. I couldn't even play the game as a trashy mindless anime game, because it was also just not fun.

I want to finish the later Tales of game but my computer struggles to keep up the graphic. What graphic card do I need?

You know da way brada.

Not an integrated one, probably. I've never had any problems running tales of beseria on a 1050, and even zestiria ran on an integrated fine.

Literally everything. Even discounting the Alisha/ Rose controversy, there's
>one of the worst Tales battle systems of all time, it barely works and is ludicrously unbalanced
>story goes full retard after the prologue
>boring dungeons and towns
>waifu wars aside, Rose and Alisha have hilariously inconsistent writing, where Rose is unironically immune to malevolence because of her ego and Alisha for some reason gets treated like shit by her own friends like Sorey later into the story

The plot is guttertrash.

I know, I know, some would say no tales have good stories. I wouldn't agree, but sure. Even so, this one is so, so much worse that the entire experience is dragged down.

Thanks user! That helps.

I initially was thinking of jumping to a VR ready graphic card but then I realized I will never play VR.

That's a first. But I do know she's somewhat disliked. I don't hate her though. If I knew someone as dense as Asbel I'd be frustrated too.

Retards wanted the princess to have a bigger role. The anime and how terrible the princess was as a character shut most of them up

Should I watch the anime or play the game for Zestiria?

What, you don't like their lord and saviour the princess that you would throw away your fishing net to follow until the end of the days?

Japan loves tragic heroes

I feel like Alisha had plenty of room to grow as a character and could have had interesting character development HAD THEY NOT KICKED HER OUT OF THE FUCKING GAME 10 HOURS IN

You should watch the anime. And be thankful Alisha left the party when she did in the game

i don't think so, destiny characters aren't very popular outside of leon (popular among women) and stahn (popular among men)

What does the anime have to do with the game. Did they have the same writers? Did they say the anime shows what the game would have been like if Alisha was a permanent party member?

I really don't feel like this is fair. There hasn't been a single good Tales anime. Abyss was the closest one.

No. I refuse to ever watch Japanese produced animation based on Japanese produced video games. Especially in 2019.

The anime handled the characters better. And Alisha's character was the same as the game's only more involved making it obvious how bad her character type was for the scenarios. She would have to break character to not be an annoying tard

Tales of Phantasia sucks? That's a shame. I was thinking about checking it out.

Symphonia anime > Abyss

its alright
Eternia is the most fun

Trying to cram a JRPG story into 4 OVA episodes isn't gonna work out. I think it was alright for what it showed though.

Symphonia did get an OVA though?

You know, the Alisha thing probably would have worked fine if instead of having her leave the party they just killed her instead.

11 OVA episodes and they were great

I bet you think Vesperia would've been improved by Yuri actually killing Estelle, too.

No. I'm dead serious.
People eat it up when JRPG party members bite the dust.
Aerith was the main heroine of her game, yet her death was lauded as a genre defining moment.

Hell, I can even recall a few examples where a party member death was lauded and memorable while a party member just leaving and being replaced with someone else but not dying felt shitty and nobody liked it.

Aerith was never the main heroine you tard.

Not so fast.

Yes, she was. It was pretty common back then for Square to split main heroine status between two females across a single game. Aerith got the spot light in the first half while Tifa's time to shine came in the second half. No different than Terra and Celes one game prior.

Alisha had potential but it went unrealized because Baba forced the writers to write her out of the story halfway through and make a new role for his whore Komatsu.

The anime effectively rewrote her into a much better character.

What would the Top 10 of a Yea Forums Tales poll look like?

She's the only one in the franchise that isn't garbage.

yuri would be at the top, followed by a random smattering of whichever unpopular characters the contrarians just happened to converge upon

Except that we know for a fact that the whole Alisha/Rose situation was the result of Zoe Quinn-style corruption.

We have the twitter logs that show Komatsu was fucking Baba to get a role, we have the interviews in which all other VAs say he was forcing her into the game and we have the weird timeframes of her being hired and recording her lines (Over a year after the VA for Edna had finished her work).
This shitshow wasn't planned.

That's not Zestiria.

not to mention the weirdness where alisha's weapons are still in a bunch of shops you can't possibly have access to while she is in your party

who the fuck is first?

Yuri, Jade, Tear, Velvet, Magilou, Lloyd, Judith, Patty, Rita, Sheena

Good job failing to mention all the shit that happened before the game was released.

Several twitter posts in which they were blatantly flirting show Baba telling Komatsu that he "gives in" and will give her a role, just days before the game's script and development underwent large scale changes for the sake of including the previously unannounced character of Rose; I think it's very clear Komatsu fucked her way into the cast, and by extension Baba cheated on his oh so beloved wife. Sorey and Alisha's VAs also confirmed that Baba pretty much forced her into the project late on production, with her recording her lines about a year after the last recording session (Edna's), that he was adamant on Sorey being rewritten to include nods to himself (Including his personal nickname) and to have some sort of implied "True partner" stuff with Rose in the story, which is what they based the constant bashing of Alisha from the seraphs and their constant praise for Rose.

I am not talking about the top 10 among the niche corner of Yea Forums where autists gather to waifupost about a JRPG series most people still think is dead

That's what a top 10 would look like for Yea Forums in general, extremely limited experience with the series and all, I really don't think anyone would consider Lloyd a top 10 character otherwise

lol no. Or at least there is absolutely no one else that believes this.
Something like that would kill her career. On the contrary, she's more popular than ever.
The whole BabaxKomatsu thing has stayed completely within the Tales fanbase. If an idol sleeping around actually happened it would affect all of japan's seiyuufags opinion of her, but they don't care.

I'm gonna give you the short of the long of it here, play tales symphonia, abyss, and then vesperia. Those are the three best modern tales games, and if you want more, you can go back to the older ones.
Tales games after vesperia aren't worth playing.

Oldest to newest.

I can understand getting sick of the combat in Berseria after a while, but everything else about the game is pretty good. Especially the cast.

Nothing too special. I’m running Tales of Berseria at 4K 60fps with an RX570, and that’s probably one of the most graphically challenging Tales games. It barely gets over 70c unless I’m in a daytime battle with a lot of magic either.

If you asked me to define what I disliked about berseria, I admit, I don't know how to explain it, but I do know one thing, I stopped playing it, and if I literally just can't be bothered to start a game up, it probably isn't that good.
I know that the idea of a game not being worth playing if I don't want to play it is somewhat recursive, but it works for me.

Shame. she's a waste of a good design.

I think it's pretty obvious that Eleanor was their apology by making someone who is fairly similar to Alisha in personality and who uses her moveset (expanded to full.) Though obviously her plot is different since she's a church knight who has to put aside her moral concerns to fight a greater evil and decide between free will and order, whereas Alisha is a full on major political figure who would probably have to learn to put aside her nation's interests in favor of the Shepherd's duty to protect the world.

Oldest to newest. so start with Monkey Island and than go to Symphonia. Play Vesperia if you like Symphonia. Do NOT play Zestiria. Play Berseria if you liked the previous two.

Good, I fucking hated her the moment I laid eyes on her obnoxious self. Arise may save the series, but the damage is already done.

>It's all made up, says I and my retarded astroturfing dev making vague statements

>I don't know how to explain it
For me, it was how similar it was to Zest, to which I dropped hard. The cast could not keep me anchored. The reskins of Xillia zones and literally nothing music with fields wide for the sake of being wide with nothing in them were their own kind of grating.

I wanted to like it, really tried to after having such a great opening too. But there were too many glaring factors outside the combat that made me drop. Also skits, skits, skits. Just make a drama CD.

Just play Vesperia and Berseria. Sympnonia is too old, and Zestiria is hot garbage with your typical naive young boy saves the world bullshit for the story, it's incredibly boring and soulless. So much heavy handed pacifism (oh this dude just murdered hundreds of innocents, let's spare him so that he can do it again, ugh), made me puke.

Alisha was literally sold to us as the female lead and one of the main characters. Then some whore fucks the producers and directors, and gets written in as a SUPER AWESOME KICK ASS ASSASSIN NINJA TOUGH CHICK WITH A HEART OF GOLD and they literally spend the rest of the story talking about how stupid Alicia was.

This is not what I preordered.

Are the Xillia games worth emulating?

Attached: tales-of-xillia-elize[1].jpg (1273x720, 217K)

Honestly none of the tales games are really worth playing anymore. Possible exceptions are Symphonia and Vesperia. The rest are pretty awful.

Don't let anyone meme you with Abyss, that game had probably the most horrible cast in the entire series. And it started the trend of making mages just 'melee who can cast a few spells but should never do because it just gets their shit pushed in'

can they even be emulated

1 no, 2 yes, but 2 expects you to know a lot of stuff from 1.

The game was a strong 1/10 but it's sad for rose's VA, I met her once and she was pretty nice. She's obviously very talented too.

The waifus look bad in pre-PS3 games, so I won't be touching them on that reason alone. Sorry, but yes I'm that shallow.

You should start with Symphonia because if you play it after playing more modern ones you're gonna hate the battle system.

Why do only fujos get such high quality porn, it's so unfair...

Just because idols cultivate such an image it doesn't mean they're actually innocent and pure in private, show business works exactly the same everywhere, these whores sleep with producers all the time to get roles.

The reality is that the twitter logs are very sexual and flirty and heavily imply at the very least that she was at the very least cock-teasing him.

Tear looks fine to me, at least in the 3DS version of Abyss, I have no idea if they updated the graphics but it doesn't seem like they did, the engine looks exactly like Symphonia 2's on the Wii.

That's a pretty cute boy, but I dunno how that has anything to do with what he's talking about.

only if you can undub 1. jesus christ that dub sound quality was atrocious. I can't believe japan got Miyuki Sawashiro for Milla, and we're stuck with what's her name lisping her way through the game because she presumably recorded her lines at home on a laptop microphone. It's a shame too because her dub would've been tolerable without the hideous lisp.

I tried Tales of____ only once. I played Tales of Legendia and it sucked pretty hard.

A friend claimed to me once that Legendia was possibly the worst game from all of Tales to try. How true is this? Which game should I try first if I'm okay with playing anything from PS era till now?

That would have actually been late enough in the game to have proper development and meaning, along with playing on Yuri's utilitarianism. It could have given him actual conflict and regrets from that point onward and deeply tested his character. It'd be a hard decision that he himself would find extremely difficult to do for once. Killing Alisha 10 hours in would just be hokey.

What I don't understand is why they'd want to linger on a game that put the franchise on the ropes, especially when lingering isn't a franchise standard. Instead of burying that mess as quickly as possible, they gave it a two-cour anime series and a mainline prequel. No other Tales game has had as much content made around it as Zestiria. What were they thinking?

2 has really nice gameplay and story amid the asset reuse but I really don't know how enjoyable it would be without playing 1 first even though 1 is mediocre as fuck.

But I heard 2 has a silent protagonist and I really hate those in JRPG's. In 1 you can play as Milla, a voiced protagonist and a girl to boot.

The anime and Berseria were already in production before Zest came out. They obviously thought it was going to do well and when it wasn't they were too far deep to pull out.

Expected some boring pure girl but she became a surprisingly compelling character.

considering in NG+ he's completely voiced it was most definitely an intentional choice from the devs

Quick rundown, was there one specific thing they were pissed off about?

Lazaris is the best Tales yandere.
>Get to see her obsession grow and evolve over the course of the game
>Starts out merely wanting to make you agree with/understand her goal and help her accomplish it
>Crush and need for you to freely agree with her gives a good excuse for why you're constantly spared instead of being killed
>By the end she becomes so obsessed with you that she is willing to completely abandon her original goal and her world, and her own life, just to try and FORCE you to finally join her, as little as it would mean at this point

Attached: Lazaris1.jpg (327x480, 21K)

She's also a mentally broken sociopath, so it's a coin toss between "I've never had sex because I can't feel close to people and don't see it to be worth the effort" and "I've had empty meaningless sex before because of the physical feeling but it didn't really make me feel better."

people tended to like alisha a lot more than they liked rose, and believed that alisha got shafted in favor of rose halfway into development

Milla's lisp was fucking cute and unique. X2 not having her lisp was a disappointment.

It was to hide the Victor twist.

Tales of the Tempest is the worst, but Tales of Legendia is the second worst.

Nobody here has played RM3 because it's Japanese-only.

Tales threads always come to this complete stop

I have.

It is always so tiresome.

This is what is wrong with neo-weebs. Literally nothing matters except waifus. This is why JRPGs and anime are getting dumbed down.

Abyss > Vesperia

t. Got memed and bought Vesperia

I'm sorry you didn't have a 360 when it came out, but it has been a fucking decade bro, you have to get over it.

I've played Vesperia on 360, it is a good game but it is not the only good game in the series, much less the best.
My issue is with you vesperia-only fags who haven't played anything else yet treat Vesperia as the second coming of Christ

There are two kinds of people who dislike vesperia, people who missed out, and just plain old contrarian faggots. Guess I just gave you the benefit of the doubt there.

I've never said that no other games are worth playing, you came to that conclusion on your own.
But if you don't agree that it is the best, you are absolutely just a contrarian faggot.

Literally retarded considering they are about to release like three games at once.

>He thinks idols and voice actresses don't fuck around to get to the top in Japan
I can't imagine being so wide-eyed and naive as a full grown adult.

pretty sure he meant the quality of the series.
Zestiria and Berseria were both kinda shit.

>when a homosexual couple were the main stars of the game

Wait a second, has there been a Tales game where this WASN'T the case?

I thought the whole series was just fujo-bait?

You might want to go to the doctor to check on that Alzheimer's you are developing
>Honestly none of the tales games are really worth playing anymore. Possible exceptions are Symphonia and Vesperia. The rest are pretty awful

>But if you don't agree that it is the best, you are absolutely just a contrarian faggot.
Eternia is better and so is Xillia 2 despite its shortcomings.

sorry mate, that's not me.
I take it you are new to anonymous image boards? You may wish to try a more tradition forum, where there are names to prevent you from getting confused.
Besides, even if that post were made by me, it would still imply at least one other tales game is worth playing.

Sure it isn't "bro", you can't trust a retard who thinks everyone must agree that Vesperia is the best or they are simply contrarian

If you can prove that is me, I will relent, but you can't, because it isn't.

I don't really remember most of what you described, iirc Lazaris doesn't even appear all that much in RM3 until the very end of the game after Velatropa, I always felt she was by far the weakest of the villain trio in RM3 in terms of character and presence, kinda like ab unsatisfying middle ground between Widdershin and Guede, not to mention here theme and Ougi suck compared to the other two too.
Now that I think about Widdershin does have a pretty dope theme despite the recycled Eternal Finality and Sephiroth looks, pretty cool boss all in all.
