I think I barely prefer Abyss, but Berseria was amazing. Had it gotten a few months of polish, I'd probably put it at the top.

2 hours and a half? What a treat!

Honestly Berseria was the best way for me to entry the tales series, shame that i found out it was a prequel, and that everyone's fates were already decided.

Finally, 2 hours of peak, on the topic of peak.

You sound so natural reading your script. Great job on the video. I'm sure you will blow up one day if you keep it up. Thanks for the content.

Holy crap i literally started playing this today, and i found this video that was uploaded yesterday?! What a coincidence!

Great retrospective! This one in particular is one of my favorites in the series. I can’t wait for you to cover other Tales of games. Abyss is another favorite of mine and first one I ever beat

This is crazy cause I was watching your old Tales of Beseria vid last night!

Wooooo boy!!! Found a new favorite channel!!

Velvet Crowe. Ragna the Bloodedge with the voice of Noel Vermillion. Seriously, that's Velvet in her entirety. A lot of the Tales of characters are very similar to ASW characters for some reason, no idea why.

Velvet is one of my favorite protags in jrpg history.

Great content bro this is one of my favorite tales finally something a little bit darker.

I believe this game is before Zestiria...

So you’re telling me, that everything that’s ever happened here, daemons and the destruction they’ve caused, Innominat, Laphicet’s sacrifice, Velvet, *EVERYTHING…* Was caused by some Seraphim being salty that they didn’t get their way?

Berseria was the first Tales I completed after Tales of Destiny 1 and "2" back in the days on PSX. I loved it and was disappointed there wasnt any real review of it at the time. Years later I found yours thanks man 2 and a half hour of amazing commentary keep it up you got a new sub

Great video, great game. My main gripe was that Velvet's combat just felt way better than everyone elses, still did 3 playthroughs though lol.

I love the video u made my day

It wasn't my first Tales of experience, but still years after getting invested into all the mainline titles, its absolutely my favorite. Honestly, these assholes are my favorite RPG cast in general no contest. And you comedically go into why pretty well lol. Great review, as for difficulty looking into a guide, for me the best place i found was playstation trophies when i was looking into all the side achievements and how to get all the cosmetic stuff (the jacketless versions of the default outfits go hard). It still is pretty funny how some things in this game just kinda trigger at a different time for everyone, so guides aren't crazy consistent. As for the dual mystic artes, iirc you get them fighting special mini bosses in the final main dungeon. There are these colored orbs for each character you get after beating them and bada bing. The actual in battle requirements to trigger them is tough but rewarding (a lot easier to do when you use the mechanic that activates mystic artes back to back in a combo if the blast gauge is high enough). But yeah great fair and funny review. Pretty much my only disagreement is about the battle system. Weird to say to someone on their 3rd playthrough, but the issues you had with the combat just amounted to some gitting gud. And maybe controller responsiveness idk, i played this game on steam and ps4 and never had issues timing dodges for souls outside my own mistakes. And someone brought up the casting speed thing for spells, but i admit that one isn't really explained at all iirc, you just gotta pick up on it when playing with mages or watching a combo video. Still, fun ass 2 and half hours.

It’s Rare for me to sub to a channel early on that’s so clearly going to grow to be massive. Your videos are great! You make the exact type of videos I like

I'm assuming this video got recommended to me because after 6 years I finally decided to go back and get the last few trophies I needed for platinum (the most annoying ones of course - level 200, 20 million gald, and 200k tales coins). Anyway, great video! Tales games are so underrated.

That's the game that rekindled my love for gaming. After having a kid, i had little time to play. But it ran on my laptop flawlessly

I always thought that using the power of the Shepard you learned to use in Zestiria against you in Berseria was a pretty cool idea. I really like Zestiria and I will defend it to death, but Berseria really feels like a refined version of Zestiria.

Mazhigigika Miludin do Din Nolurun Dou (Magilou for short) has somehow always been one of my favorite characters. Strong Bayonetta energy I think.

This is probably on the second half of your video, but you keep mentioning how the spellcasting times are inconsistent and you can't tell when a spell would activate. In general, the further right they are along the chart with the arts the faster the cast time is. It was meant to allow characters to incorporate spells into their combos. For example, Eleanor can do three physical attacks and finish off with a spell that will be cast almost as fast. It allows for tactics like hitting someone with a spell, healing someone else quickly, and then hitting again with another spell quickly.

Saved me the time commenting it myself lol. I don't blame him for knowing though, it's admittedly something you don't really pick up on a playing casually unless you're labbing combos with the mages specifically or watching combo videos on KZread.

The only Tales game I've ever gotten into. Absolutely loved it.

Velvet is the best female protagonist in terms of overall development and motivation I know. Honestly compared to all others tales of games Berseria is by far the most mechanically demanding of them all, apart from the different battle system. The amount of different combos for all characters is borderline insane. Bro the secret boss at max difficulty had me tweaking for 2 hours straight

This is one of my favorite jrpgs. I've always enjoyed how well it did the concept of "play as the bad guys" and actually made it so all the characters got a "bad ending" that had to be fixed down the line.

"WILL YOU STOP WHINING" -Phi I loved how someone actually told Velvet that, ti was needed throughout the game to stop the telenovela-level melodrama she had.

Theresa and her bro have the same dad. It isn't the brady bunch or kissxsis step relations up in here.

I haven't played this game in about 7 years and just started replaying. Berseria is probably my favorite tales game as well.

In berseria to get more soul you have to stun or sidestep. But to make it more consistent there is the "break" mechanic. Let me explain it by taking velvet as the example. In console when you use r2 button you Activate velvet's monster hand. What happens is that you lose one soul in exchange for your remaining soul being filled the thing is the targeted enemy gains an extra soul now you must be wondering why give an enemy extra soul the answer is because the more soul the enemy has the greater the chance of stunning that enemy. So the concept is that you have to balance having a soul and at the same time making sure the enemy also has it. As an enemy with one soul cannot be stunned and at the same time you wont get the soul out of that enemy. Hope this helps basically r2 of any character is the key for consistent soul management.

Dude, amazing video! The humour, the editing and attention to details! Nice job! But I must ask, why such here to Tale of Arise? It was my first introduction to the series, and it was good. Was it half baked or didn't bring anything new?

Arise was bad. Trying to explain why feels like a wasted effort because it's one of those "If you don't already understand, me explaining it won't get you to understand" things. It is a TERRIBLE Tales game for so, sooo many reasons, but you need to be a Tales veteran to understand why. Naturally. Arise by itself is a...barely-passable game. But it is a massive failure as a Tales game that openly and proudly shts on Tales traditions. That's literally what the devs admitted it was designed to do, and yet players still defend the game as being a "good Tales game".

It's the same nonsense that happens in every fandom of an ongoing franchise: A vocal minority of purists hate the game because it's new and different from past titles but did really good both critically and commercially. The hardcore Tales veterans (like that gagejoseph91 dude) hate Arise just because it's not Symphonia/Abyss/Vesperia/Berseria 2.0 and treat their negative opinions of the game as objective fact or they spread around that "Tales of Arise is not a real Tales game because it didn't start out as one" misinformation. With RamZaes, I guess he wasn't all that big on Arise because it has a more dark and serious tone compared to other titles in the franchise, and RamZaes himself prefers games with a light-hearted tone and a lot of dumb, cringe humor like Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Fire Emblem Engage. Edit: lol the unhinged Arise hater got so salty at me for not agreeing with their opinions that they resorted to spamming ableist insults at me.

@@us0_tsuki This is the kind of person I mean. Even when the developers specifically state that the entire point of Arise is to take the series in a new direction and that they intentionally made the game to buck series traditions, when someone says "It is not a proper Tales game", people like this always reply with "Well that's just your opinion" to try to discredit the statement without actually disproving it. The core mechanics of the game are bad. You don't even get gald from combat. The combo system is utterly broken. Bosses do not stagger and everything is ultra-spongey. This makes combos largely useless since the objectively-best strategy for literally every encounter is either Void Flash spam in the air or Reigning Blade for pure damage on the ground. No other moves are worth using, even Alphen's special ability. Want OHKO moves? Spam Void Flash. Want raw damage? Reigning Blade. That's. It. The story is utter nonsense. The "romance" is extremely forced, shallow, and awkwardly unsubtle. Skits have been absolutely NEUTERED, are largely unfunny, and the format is stiff as a board. The primary antagonist's entire motivation is being a Saturday morning cartoon villain. Need I go on? It's not just "Buh eet's nawt Seenfonya", it's GENUINELY a poor Tales game that intentionally wrecks series staples for the sake of being "new" and fails on the core premise of being a story-heavy action game by providing a paper-thin story, cliched and shallow characters (Except maybe Dohalim. Genuinely a refreshing character.), and a battle system that rewards NOT engaging with any of its depth by making the moves all either wildly overtuned or wildly undertuned. It. Is. A bad. Game. But its defenders will outright ignore any valid criticisms of it from people who actually know better.

​@@gagejoseph91 Yeah, no. Just because you didn't like Arise or that it's a series reboot doesn't make it an objectively bad or fake Tales game. The only part I can agree with is the bad boss design, but that wasn't enough to ruin the game for me or make me think it's less of a Tales game. Yes, gald doesn't get dropped from enemies, but you instead get monster loot you can sell for gald. The story isn't "utter nonsense". The romance is well-developed and is one of the best romances in this series. There are plenty of skits that have humorous interactions, they're just not as abundant compared to past titles because this game's cast do not generally get along all that well at first due to racial tensions. Plus the move to 3D graphics is an interesting take on skits that I would love to see be improved on in future titles rather than going back to flip-flopping between the "heads in boxes style" skits and 2D portrait skits". The game's take on the primary antagonists being systematic oppression, exploitative hierarchies, and the cycle of hate with the human antagonists being by-products of their messed-up social environments is more interesting and refreshing than having the main Big Bad be another rehashed complex and sympathetic antagonist we've seen countess times in this series. Plus, there's nothing wrong with a Tales antagonist being a classic villain. I've seen every game in this franchise get crapped on for its flaws by the fandom, even seen a few "it's not a real Tales game" quips thrown at other titles from time to time. Acting like Arise is a bad Tales game that "shts on series traditions" just because you didn't like its battle system, story, or characters, when every other Tales games got complaints for those same aspects is a hyperbolic as hell take. It is your subjective opinion that Tales of Arise is a bad Tales game and not everyone has to agree with your criticisms.

​@@us0_tsuki Arise is to Tales what Lords of Shadow is to Castlevania. You can like it, but calling it a valid entry into the series it shares its namesake with is just not correct. Yeah, you get monster loot you can sell for gald. Randomly. As a drop chance. Why the change? Why not just have enemies drop gald like they always have? What is the BENEFIT of this loot-based change? The stuff they drop is literally ONLY to be sold for money. There's no other use for those items, so why make it so obtuse? What POSSIBLE positive is there to this new system? What's the story, then, hm? Summarize the story in 2 sentences. Symphonia is "War dried up mana reserves. Protag seeks to fix mana shortage." Abyss is "Antag attempts replacing humanity with clones to escape predestiny. Protag's personal growth parallels and disproves adherence to predestiny." Xillia is "Humanity uses technology to abuse spirits. Protags prove the viability of human and spirit coexistence." In each story, the antagonist plays some role in personifying the game's themes. Symphonia's antag is the hero that lost faith in saving the worlds. Abyss's antag is a victim of abuse that seeked an extreme solution to a problem he viewed as otherwise insurmountable. Xillia's antag is a pessimistic reflection of the cohabitation of humans and spirits. But what's Arise's ACTUAL plot? What is the theme of Arise's narrative, and how does the antagonist tie into that theme? Because Vholran's entire motivation is just raw ego. There's no depth to him. He's literally just some evil dude who believes he has the "right" to rule everything, and there's no given validation or rationale for this belief. He's literally JUST some evil megalomaniac. That's his entire character. And what about the Great Astral Spirit? It has no character. It's entire motivation is "Want more astral energy. Feed me." It barely even has an established personality to speak of. What is the overarching theme of Arise and how do "I want power" and "I want food" tie into that theme? No, the "romance" is just the most aggressively pushed in the series. What chemistry do Alphen and Not-Lailah actually have? They have some moments of dramatism, sure, like Alphen taking the pain to hug Shionne. But that isn't chemistry, that's theatrics and melodrama. Lloyd and Colette have chemistry. Hell, Asbel and Cheria have chemistry and I don't even like them as a couple. Luke and Tear have chemistry, Jude and Milla have chemistry, Jude and LEIA have chemistry, but Alphen and Shionne? Their relationship comes off like it was written by a middle schooler who just finished watching Twilight for the first time. It's all entirely surface level at best and highly contrived at worst. Lloyd and Colette share actual cute moments where they show how well they know eachother, talk to eachother like human beings, and regularly show a level of genuine familiarity that is woven naturally into their interactions. Luke's growth as a character is largely overseen by Tear, who acts as a moral guidepost for his journey into maturity. Over the course of the game, Luke looks to her for support and she encourages him to find and establish his own identity, and their conversations with eachother always feel like they are advancing toward that end. What do Alphen and Shionne bond over? What interests do they share? What goals do they strive for that are not tied directly to saving the world? He can touch her without being hurt. Okay...? That's contrived, and not a basis for an entire relationship. They don't have much in common, their personalities don't really act as foils to eachother - and even if you argued that they did, by the end of the game they become SO aggressively likeminded in that "First year of dating" kind of overly saccharine way that any argument that they ever DID act as a foil to eachother breaks down as their characters now align SO much that they had to assassinate their old characters to get there - all their private moments are so lacking in even the remotest bit of subtlety that it always comes off like the writers are trying to HAMMER home just how much of a couple they are "meant to be", *which is not how romances work outside of cheesy novels for middle-aged women*, and by the resolution of their character arcs, they have no character traits outside of being singularly focused on eachother. Their entire characters become "I love her" and "I love him" and all of their motivations trace back to either those two statements, or just a generic moral platitude like "Racism bad" without any hint of actual character depth. Your entire point about skits is just being an apologist, not actually validating them. In order, you say "The skits aren't as fun because the characters don't have as much chemistry", which isn't as good a defense as you think it is, and "The 3D skits are not 2D skits", which.......yes, that is true. Also not really a justification. "Different for different's sake" is not a valid defense. If you're saying that you welcome 3D skits for the potential of them becoming better in the future, then fine, but then you actually have to ADMIT the skit format is BAD right now. If your defense is "They'll get better", then you're just criticizing them and refusing to admit it. I am just reading your bit about the themes of the game right now and...what....What are you smoking? "systematic oppression, exploitative hierarchies, and the cycle of hate with the human antagonists being by-products of their messed-up social environments" is literally just Symphonia. Yeah, real "refreshing" copying the basic framework of the best-written game in the series but with none of the nuance that made the original work so well. Do you know WHY the original worked? Among many other reasons, it's because the heavy subject matter was NOT undercut by a cartoon villain. The fact that the antagonist of that game is a fallen hero who attempted to fix the world and failed is why the themes of oppression, exploitation, and cycle of abuse work as well as they do. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" is glue that holds the story together. Changing the driving force of such heavy themes to just "Arrogant dude and hungry dude" completely undercuts the otherwise-serious tone the game was going for. There's a reason cartoon villains only exist in simple shows with basic plots. You cannot mesh a serious story with a comically simple villain. That's. Not. How. Storytelling. Works. And yet again, "It's refreshing to just have a cartoon villain for once" is literally just being different for it's own sake, which as said before, is NOT a defense. That isn't explaining why the thing is GOOD, it's just explaining that it's NOT the other thing. The antagonists of Tales games are often sympathetic because these are games that tackle large themes. Changing that just for the sake of it is like saying "I always use chicken stock to make soup, but this time I'll use cranberry juice instead. It's different, so it's good." Nooo, you use chicken stock because that's, how, soup, is, made. If you want cranberry juice, then don't make soup. Make something that cranberry juice actually fits with. The next segment is just a strawman. "Everyone else crapped on other games for the same things." Okay? Cool. Everyone else isn't me. I haven't whined about every other game the same way, so what's your point? The irony of your last point being the tried and true "That's subjective, bro" excuse is that it exposes you for your own hypocrisy. Okay, let's say my points are based on pure subjectivity. Why do you argue against them? If they are just my opinion, what do you hope to accomplish by debating against me? Change my mind? To what, YOUR opinion? Why is YOUR opinion any more valid than mine? By engaging in a debate, you're asserting your opinion over mine, which implies that you think your opinion holds greater value than mine, which is a point that can only be made under the assumption that you believe your opinion is objectively superior in some way. In order for my opinion to be wrong, there must be some form of objectivity to base that conclusion on, or else you wouldn't be asserting that I'm wrong, you'd only be asserting that your opinion differs. For some reason, YOU get to benefit from objectivity, but I can only lay claim to subjectivity. That, is, hypocritical.

After the disappointment I felt playing and dropping Zestiria, I played Berseria for the first time like a year or two ago. It was tolerable, but I prefer the older style of Tales of games, like Vesperia, Abyss, Symphonia, Phantasia, etc. Nonetheless, it is good to have your takes on these games,.

Peak Berseria Gaming and “take their souls my queen” or whatever the fuck you said.. Convinced me to sub. Lmao

You know the whole bit with Rokuro from what I gathered and I’m probably reading into it or copping, is that there clan chooses it’s next head by having the potentially strongest at the time take on the current head, Shigurei had to take out his mother, and I think that deep down that bothered Rokuro and Shigurei but raised the way they where, they didn’t understand what they where feeling, Shigurei was already heading towards the door when Rokuro spread the rumors, I think the two didn’t like there lot in life, Shigurei having to kill his mother just cause he was the strongest which naturally ate at the both of them with Rokuro subconsciously wanting revenge but justifying it as I have to kill my brother, I think Rokuro is just getting revenge in a way that makes sense to him-or maybe I’m reading too far into it😅

I play on PS4 pro like make 10- 20 hours in and it looks pretty good

7:14 Berseria does have a pretty bloated combat system in terms of mechanics, but at least it's in the combat itself that it gets complicated instead of the equipment skill fusing gimmick of Zestiria which could get frustrating very quickly. I have to object to the similarity with Zestiria combat system though. They only look similar on the surface. Zestiria is built around the Human/Seraphim duo setup and Armatization, whereas Berseria is all about ridiculous combo setups through Break Souls. They do share the same Arte types, but they are not used the same. You can also refill SG by using a Break Soul. Using Break Soul restores up to 3 full units of SG, which means Break Souls are also combo extenders. Early game it is a bit hard to keep a long string going without applying Stuns or chaining enemy kills (which give a Soul to the ally who landed the killing blow) but further in the game you can play with the system to gain a bigger Soul cap as well as more starting Souls. That means that you usually do not want to start a combo with a Break Soul move unless the enemy is guarding a lot, as Break Souls can break guards *OR* if you're going for a shorter chain into a Mystic Arte nuke. The inconsistency with casting times is due to how combos work. If you chain actions before a spell, the spell charges faster, and this *can* stack if you do consecutive spells as long as your SG isn't in the blinking red (which applies various debuffs to you). Once your combo resets, the spell speedup resets as well. You *can* use Artes if your SG is empty but it will have a bunch of drawbacks applied like slower animation, easier guarding for enemies, hit-block stun for the player if the enemy guards and so on, hence its better to let yourself reset and reposition if the situation isn't good at the moment. Berseria works kinda like a figting game in that sense. Regarding Mystic Artes: I don't think you ever mentioned in the video if you went past the Lvl 1 Mystic Artes. Lvl 2 Mystics require 8-action chain combos and 4 BG before you can use it and everyone leans theirs over the course of the game. Then Lvl 3 Mystic Artes (as well as their final Break Soul moves) are learned by doing certain things in the final dungeon and hitting lvl 60+. THEN Dual Mystic Artes are learned by beating certain bosses in the bonus dungeon. Also, Bonus Dungeons are supposed to be hard, that's why it's post-game optional content bruh. I can give you that the game doesn't tell you you can chain Mystic Arts though, which is a really big thing to omit because if you time it right you can do massive damage to a boss.

I think some people get too hyperfocus on revenge (which to be fair is the overtone directly told) and not the aspect of choice which can be determined through reason and emotion, and weighing both in decision making (which is also overt but I think people are more likely to meme the why birds fly thing). I don't remember people not receiving it well, but a lot more players newer to the franchise bought it so I might have missed some discussion in some groups.

To explain the spell casting speed differences, ever since Graces f, the farther along in a combo a spell is, the faster it casts. For example, if you just do a spell, it casts at normal speed. But the next spell in the same chain will cast 10% faster than normal, and the third spell will cast 20% faster. This is also true when going from normal attacks into spells. So you can do two basic attacks then a spell and that spell will cast 20% faster. That's why when you stop attacking to recover your souls, the next spell casts slower than what you were just doing. New combo, so the spell casting time buff has been reset. You could say "Oh that's stupid" or whatever, but it rewards you for learning the game mechanics and knowing how to keep your combo going. Yeah, you're punished for dropping a combo, but...don't drop your combo lol If done correctly, you end up casting high-tier spells in like 1.5 seconds.

Or if I should just skip zesteria all together. I can’t just rush a story. I am a tragic completionist

Good and fun video

Before watching: Tales of? Generally the one thing I'd say is I'd appreciate a remake of Phantasia or Destiny, but since that's not gonna happen I'll say I liked Berseria in a lot of ways and in also in a lot of ways I hated it. I generally liked the characters, but I hated Velvet's sacrifice. I just couldn't take it. I think that trauma is part of the reason I don't feel like playing Arise. Velvet's sacrifice killed something else in me.

Oh my God finally someone has my same opinion regarding Arise's skits being so lifeless while Berseria did so much more with just the character drawings/portraits like the other games.

Tales of xilla next or abyss

Play Tales of Xillia 1 and 2 if you can. They were not only based on FF XIII, the title is a reference to the number 13 in latin due to how it looks. It even has the crystarium orb. Berseria was based on the anime Berserk instead. Also a few similarities to Tales of Vesperia. Seriously, play Tales of Xillia, it'll blow your mind as an FF13 enjoyer. It even has some similar plot points across its two games with Xillia 1 and 2 almost mirroring FFXIII 1 and 2, even with the dialogue system. Just be prepared for one of the most technical battle systems ever. BTW, the Crimson Night scene was so controversial that it had to be censored outside of Japan since they wanted to make it their own Eclipse. Eclipse is basically the most horrific thing happening in the Berserk series. It's a doozy. So they changed Laphi's death to be an Evangelion reference in the west. Just to give a bit more context. As for Tales being mid-budget FF games, it's kind of not like that; like other anime-styled games of their era, Tales, Star Ocean, Sakura Taisen, were all not only insanely pricey they were very demanding technologically. IIRC, Sakura Taisen 1 opening on the Sega Saturn cost them like 10 million yen back in the day or something...while the cost of developing the game itself was less than a million. The latest Sakura Taisen game? Just 3 million yen for dev costs. So yeah, Tales has the same price tags as FF, they just spent it on the anime visuals, the character designers and the voice acting. An insane amount of budget is dedicated to anything except for the gameplay...because the gameplay is usually so esoteric it's mind-boggling. Berseria has a lot of carry over battle mechanics from Zestiria as well, such as the way the guard works as you mentioned with the restoration of the BG. In Zestiria you can skip attacks with guarding and stepping, shorten cast times, recover TP faster etc. There a few video guides only as far as I know that teach you how to effectively play Zestiria and Berseria properly and they are 30 minute to 1 hour video guides. As a final note, I prefer Zestiria over Berseria. Apart from Rokuro's and Eizen's stories, the rest weren't so good, meanwhile Zestiria may have fumbled quite a bit but its characters were better*, considering it was a story about a messiah saving the world and his troubles compared to rule63-ing Guts in order to have a romance with Puck(Phi). Also prefer its gameplay a lot more out of the two. *Except for Rose, smug Alisia forever. PS : The Katz thing with the dead souls is a japanese myth thing, special cats that follow the souls of the dead and guide them, with the souls of the dead looking like silver balls of fire. Berseria is extremely japanese for some reason compared to Zestiria.

I think that Bandai Namco should remake every tales of game just to include Magilou in everything

And whenever Magilou's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, "Where's Magilou?"

This is just a compilation of videos by ram revie with credit given to the original creator. A pretty scummy thing to do tbh.

Is it? Or is this a second channel? I have only just stumbled on this video and it is genuinely confusing me. I would need to compare the videos side by side, but from memory it seems like a different script.

@@slight_detour I watched some and compared and it seems like parts of the script where moved around with diffrent game play shown. Like the opening few seconds are the exact same but like they both have the line about velvet "A posing for dominance" but the visuals are different. Also why would neither channel reference the other unless ram revie dosen't know about it and shadohfyre didn't want people to see the original? Like even if it was ram revie compiling the videos together you'd think he would atleast put something like "I put all my videos together" in the description.

​@@sniperdog490It is the different gameplay that tripped me up. I agree if it is a second channel the description should make mention of the original videos. In my very limited understanding of video production, this seems like a lot of effort to put into a video that will be called out like this. Just confusing to me.

or its actually me with another channel as I wanted to remake the berseria videos into one video with new things since I replayed the game again and talk about everything adding in more things...

​@@ShadohFyre so then why not mention that anywhere? Or link back to your original channel? And why is your Twitter diffrent? And why no mentions of this on your main channel? And why the complety diffrent name? You see why I would be more then a bit skeptical?

I had to refund this fucking game because it REFUSED TO OPEN! I bought it to see if I could change my mind about the franchise and what I get is the game itself refusing to be played... Guess my dislike towards the franchise is mutual.

Im 1:13:48 into the video and the whole story just seems to be edgy for the sake of edge without substance

Tales of Bersaria: here a really cool start to the thing you where actually curious about in Zesteria but have some loli’s and a sob story that goes basically nowhere without risk as well as a child “demon” wearing nothing hope that fit the bill for a “tales” game which you have heard are so good. Btw the Edna plot line doesn’t actually go anywhere except a shit ending scene hope you’re happy. This is my experience with tales as a gamer that grew up in the mid 2000’s that never played until Zest really. Utter disappointment with more cheap archetypes and a shit grinding system only alleviated with microtransactions. Don’t waste my time with battle animations that only amount to numbers when the easiest way to achieve them is through mindless monotony. Abyss was cool but as an adult I’m sorry I can only say the main character was absolutely unenthralling with situations that are entirely unrelatable. Both Zest and Bers started out cool but they quickly fell into typical archetype feeding and highscool drama, which only works when your fanbase is actual children who don’t have money. RPG’s especially turn based are basic math at this point, any undefendable without a proper story to back them and that’s where modern tales games have failed. Give me a basic system to play exploit that’ll carry me through 80% of the game outside a few boss fights and I would have rather sat down with a book. Voice of cards fails at this, and even the esteemed FFVII fails this. You can’t expect me to stay invested if your state of play is static but your story side of things only caters to the bare minimum of thought but hey: I’m only put up with it because I expect everything to tie together in a way that will truly justify the dollars per hour I spent on it.

Great game, and the best tales game by far. I say that having never played any of the other ones, and probably never will because dear god do the characters and stories seem so insanely bland.

Tales of the Abyss has some really complex and morally flawed characters like Jade, Luke, Van and the God Generals. Tales of Xilia also has some really complex and interesting characters like Alvin, Rowen, Ludger and Muzet.
