Tales of Zestiria is an outstanding game we've enjoyed as much as many classic Japanese RPGs. Great story and great gameplay work together to create a game worth playing to celebrate Tales of 20th anniversary.
Conheci a saga tales of pelo zestiria e cara que jogo,história muito bem contada e persomagens bem desenvolvidos tem alguns problemas mas nada que tire o brilho do jogo
Tales of Zestiria is a great game which looks fantastic and plays like a charm. It doesn't really challenge you though and had a few small other flaws. Still the story grips you and the game manages to entertain you for hours.
Tales of Zestiria is a good J-RPG, based on a deep and clever fighting system, and offering a nice and classic journey. But maybe Bandai Namco should now let some features and some techs behind to begin a really new era with its IP.
The dungeons and the stories might feel a bit bland, the fighting system in Tales of Zestiria is powerful. This is more of a good action title than a good RPG, and it will take a lot of willpower to struggle your way through those dungeons to get to the sweet spot of the game.
First things, first. If you're not slightly Weebie, don't like Anime and generally don't like things associated even slightly with these things, then you are on the wrong review page and will waste your money. People rave about Vesperia. Take those nostalgia glasses off, it's a bit ****, Clunky, with annoying as hell characters.
People go on about Berseria as if it is some new breath of life in the series and some great, dark story. It is infact very beautiful, the colour palette here was well chosen but it is slow and chessy and boring and those dark themes, sorry? Am I missing something? Just filled with annoying characters like Vesperia and a slow burn of a story.
Now Zesteria is the only Tales of game that I actually think, oh, I wouldn't mind playing Zesteria tonight. Berseria, Symphonia and Vesperia (the only other three I own) I just think, oh I should try these again and see if they get better. Zesteria I think oh, I've not heard that lovely OST in ages, I've not seen those vibrant characters, I've not wandered around that nicely designed city. I want to go back rather than feeling an impusle to go back to try and justify the money I spent/wasted on the games.
It's not a masterpiece but it is a great effort and I think the OST is amazing at times. I also think it just works. The individual parts are not great but they all work great together. I really think this pisses on the other Tales games I own and I also had some Tales games I couldn't get into at all and exchanged. So I've played 5, or 6 and this was my favourite.
A quick rundown
Graphics - I thought were stunning. The game world was plain but the design and colour choices were perfect. Side note here, I was playing tonight long after this was originally written. My girlfriend commented on how nice the graphics looked. She has as far as I remember never said that about any other game and she has seen me play hundreds.
OST - I still play one of the songs on youtube every week, roughly 5 years after getting this game.
Dialogue and VA - usual cheesy, crappy Yankee/**** junk.
Gameplay - fun.
For me when I have a game I never delete to free up HDD space and I listen to the OST after many years and I still go back and play it again (something I rarely do outside of 2D fighters). It is a damned good game. I bought it in the sale at about £8 and it has been worth every penny.
I know 7.2 isn't a bad score but this game is a lot more enjoyable than so many games rated more highly. Zesteria is like the Tales game it is cool to hate on and the reality is, it **** all over the so called best Tales games "classics".
New note. I am still not even half way through this. I have put it on and off for years and I still love it and after 35 years gaming it is right up there in my favourite games. I am about to side line it again to play Arise but unless my PS4 blows up, I will be 100% back to this game again.
Great story and characters despite some cliche and the devaluation of the character alisha. combat with camera issues and overly complex character progression system
As with many other games, theres something good beneath all the trash in this one.
Battle system is ok. Better to play in normal and just use attacks, defense, dodge and free movement than to care about the insane amount of gear buffs and passive abilities. History is so, so at the beginning but seriously drags towards the middle and third act is a lot of padding with even worse storytelling and petty dilemma, tries to hard to not be good vs evil and turns out repetitive and ridiculous which is the main reason why i give such a low score, I just wanted it to end.
I really loved Tales of Berseria, which I actually played through first before this, and....this didn't really do it for me? The characters were too saccharine and a bit too bland, the story didn't grab me and I found the combat boring and glitchy. There were some nice moments -- I LOVED Edna -- and I liked seeing the connections to Berseria, but honestly, this one was a miss for me. I liked Berseria much better, both in terms of gameplay and character/story.
