I just finished Tales of Berseria yesterday. Before that, I read that the events of Zestria takes place 1000 years after Berseria. I realized after that I have a copy of Zestria in my collection I bought more than 2 years ago lol. I think I'm going to dust off my copy after I finish symphonia first.
Tales of Zestiria was my first JRPG and Tales of Game. Admittedly it has problems but it's still fun. Hopefully, after Tales of Arise we'll get a continuation of this world which both Berseria and Zestiria have made. I wanna see both *SPOILERS* Velvet and Sorey wake up and team up if that's possible.
Thank you very much the review. I like your more than other reviews on TH-cam because the way you review is quite unique, and I mean it for real! I feel so encouraged by your review I would definitely come back playing Tales of Zesteria and Tales of Berseria! You have earned subscriber!
The 2 main reasons I loved this game was the battle system and character progression, I found the gameplay and progression fun and addicting, I know there's a lot of jrpg fans that play these games purely for the story but that's just not me, don't get me wrong I actually did enjoy the story but thats not usually why I enjoy jrpgs, I just don't see how you expect ppl to take your review seriously if you ignored a huge chunk of the games progression and played on the easiest difficulty, I would have been too embarrassed to post this review
According to an official lore book of Berseria, it is said that Eizen became a dragon 200 prior to Zestiria after clashing with the Lord of Calamity of that era.
Good to see you enjoyed Zestiria, it's easily one of the most hated Tales games. I played it when it came out, and still adored it and had lots of fun despite its flaws. Also the cast is so freaking lovable. After playing Berseria, it has way more impact now.
Juan Alvarado I feel like tales of vesperia made people hate this game.. vesperia is like ffvii of tales series.. airship, boat, world map, non linear paths, etc. this game is so.. not serious and the gameplay mechanics isn’t that great. In vesperia every single character had a backstory and the voice acting was amazing..
Vesperia is the ffvii? I thought that was Symphonia, people love that game for nostalgia purposes even tho it's awfully generic and ain't nothing compared to the rest of the series.
I know I'm late to the party but this was a great and informative review! I'm currently playing through Berseria again and am thinking about picking this one up again as well. I didn't finish it back when it came out but it's super cheap so now would be a great time to give it another go 😁
@@countryboyred same here for me Yurie Lowell is def 1 of my fav mc of all time. His whole character was written perfectly especially how he handled the situation with Sodia. It was top tier humility
@@countryboyred right! Judy was my 2nd fav player to fight with because of all her super chain aerial attacks and I always had patty in the lineup she was very helpful in battle
Yeah I don't get the hate on this game at all either. A lot of the comparisons to Berseria don't make any sense, either. The complaint about the randomness and grindiness of weapons is DOUBLY so for Berseria. You either get the weapon with the exact skills you want... or not. Not the exact permutation you want? Trash. At least in Zestiria, you can make use of a crap item by wiping out it's skills and then combining it to at least get a bonus for some other item. There's at least SOMETHING you can do with crap items. Berseria? No such thing. Combat? They're really not all that different. You can free run if you want, which makes it nearly identical to Berseria. Armatization gives way more possibilities for battle than Berseria. And the strategy commands to tell everyone to defend or attack was way more tactical than Berseria. Other than Maotelus being a complete plot chess piece with zero personality that was complete bullshit considering where he came from as a character in Berseria, all the characters were lovely, just as good as Berseria. Hell, it's even slightly less of a walking simulator. Oh, and the soundtrack in Zestiria is WAY longer, and also better most of the time. Go ahead and listen to the whole OST of both on youtube and decide for yourself, but it's honestly not even close. Zestiria is many times as many tracks, and are all good to listen to even outside the game. Berseria's OST is mostly environmental and full of a lot of just straight up distortion, which works for some scenes but is surprisingly horrible as music. Anyways, don't listen to the hate. It's equivalent to Berseria with a few slight differences. If you like one, the other will be more of the same.
0K you convinced me to get it. If the combat is similar to Berseria and the game has a better soundtrack, it sounds good to me. After all it's like 6 bucks anyways lol
note that it starts out as 2.5d (you walk a line between you and your target) with no free-run, and you unlock free-run somewhat early, whereas it's the standard in berseria from the beginning. a ton of people complain endlessly about this one point. just full disclosure.
Just finished the game and it's late 2020. ToZ gathered dust on my shelf since release on Ps4. Every time I tried to get into it I was so off-put by how generic it was that I couldn't even get past the second town. I decided to play it on easy so I can finally have my own opinion of the story and was quite surprised by how okay it was. I beat it and the bonus dungeon but have no interest in buying DLC for more. It was still a fun ride, but ToB will always stick with me more.
Thank you for selling this game to me. My manager just gave me her old PS4 because she got a PS5 for Christmas so I've been looking for a good cheap PS4 exclusive RPG and this seems to be the best one. I will be playing this game before Berseria, because I am about playing games in chronological order whenever possible.
I don't like "fusing" with party members. I want my party members and my main character to feel like they are useful and can stand on their own with their own power. To me this whole characters fusing together thing just muddles things up and creates more disconnect between me and the characters.
Yeah i have to agree with you...Fusing with someone else ..i think i will take a pass...Better idea would be, to be able to summon a monster..Final Fantasy like...But without as much fancy graphics..
I'm working on playing through Kingdom Hearts 3 right now, but I can work on a Vesperia review after. Of course it would take awhile since I have to play through 2 games and write something up.
@@wuapo3462 it’s so good. I played it for the first time after playing Tales of Arise and I loved it. It’s easily my favorite Tales game. Great characters, world, battle system, etc.
@@countryboyred glad to hear! Tales of arise was my first tales game and it got me interested in the series so I’m going to play vesperia first then Zestiria & Berseria
I know it’s been two years so I doubt you’ll respond to this but I recently finished tales of vespiria which is now one of my favorite rpgs of all time and I just wanted to know if tis would stand up to it
Not likely. It's been a long time since I've looked at Zestiria so I'm relying mostly on my imperfect memory. Characters were much better in Vesperia (especially if you saw all the optional events) and the story was also better. I prefer combat in newer Tales games since it's much easier to pick up but Vesperia's combat is complex and there is a lot you can do with it. That said, I'm just considering Zestiria by itself. You would also need to play Berseria to make it a complete experience to fill more of the story and characters to actually make it worth it. Personally I liked the Zestiria/Berseria duo more than Vesperia.
Going back to the battle system, I love the complications and don't consider it a "grind" because the armatization is so original and I don't find it in other games. I love spending time choosing skills and stacking them... I mean when you play a game it means you really have time to play it... and I don't play a lot of games one after the other so I spend more time with a single game and not be in a hurry to get into the next one. The system is NOT outdated at all... playing Berseria was fun too but I like Zestiria combining such wonderful music and skits and new battle mechanics that are challenging to unravel that I just really love it! ^_^
I also played Besteria first than play this game. I gotta say, maybe the story and characthers not as intersting as Besteria but omg the ost in this game is AMAZING! Probably the best in the series. The world design is very different from previous game whr Besteria feel more like Xillia upgrade. I only wish the next tales game is the conclusion story of Besteria and Zesteria.
You’re suppose to play this one first then Berseria just a heads up in case anyone is wondering lots of call backs to this in berseria that just make berseria that much better after playing this 😋
I own both this and Bersia, and actually enjoy this one better. I think I just liked the character's much better than the ones on Bersia. Not sure why this one got such mediocre reviews, It's worth picking up, esp. as cheap as it is right now.
Same with me... Zestiria is maybe the most hated game I personally love, I know of. People criticise the battle system, the camera, the story and characters... And I can't relate to that criticism at all. And I've basically played all Tales of games in existence. It's always so frustrating to talk about Zestiria on the internet...
Played this for the first time yesterday for about 3 hours. Didn't like it all tbh. Will give it a chance and play more but the first impression wasn't a good one.
For those of us who are gameplay over story gamers, zestiria is one of the better tales games, the combat and progression just gets better as the game goes on
@@mathewhosier9739 Damn really? That's encouraging. I appreciate a good story and characters, but don't really care much if its not good. All that matters to me is the combat being fun and/or satisfying, as well as the soundtrack being good.
This is third review of this game I’ve watched in a row where like 8 minutes in they tell you they havnt finished it or played on easy and ignored all skills .
I got the 'Tales of...' triple pack on PS4 (Zest/Vesp/Bers), completed the other two and wandering if I should delve in to this one too. From what I'm gathering, the combat can be a bit of a chore, but the story/dialogue and all the rest is good? I could deal with that.
@Shirtless Kaneki V2 Yikes, maybe I'll tackle it some point in the distant future if I run out of games (doubtful haha). For now I'm going to jump on to Persona 4 Golden on PC.
@Shirtless Kaneki V2 You played any other Tales games? I was wondering if I should get Xillia, I still have my PS3. Or maybe Abyss through a PS2 emulator.
I stopped playing every Tales Of I've tried, because of the grinding required... I've never seen any ending of a Tales Of game. While I've seen the ending of many many other JRPGs
Why do I have a memory of this game having a full sequel legit just called “Tails of Zestiria 2” I remember seeing this on the ps3 and right before the new game (at the time) Tales of Xilla and I remember picking up the game and reading the back cover it was talking about being focused on the princess & the Dragon girl Now I feel like this is a Mandela effect helppppppp!
So how did you play Berseria before Zestiria and say you didn’t know what the promise was between Zaveid and Eizen or not be familiar with Maotelus? Did you finish Berseria? Holy shit, I know Zestiria gets shit on often but damn you literally played a prequel that explained what rhe hell is going on
Interesting, I can find this game for $20 on PS4 but it is like $60 for PS3. I wonder why someone would pay 3 times as much for it on PS3 just because it's rare on that console when the PS4 probably looks better? I don't have PS4 yet but thinking about grabbing this game and some otehr PS4 games for when the PS5 is actually availalble. Currently have PS3.
Not for the story, 2 main reasons I play these games is for the battle system and the deep progression systems, I'm here to play games after all not watch them, that's why I enjoy jrpgs so much, japanese developers are the best at creating fun combat systems with complex and deep progression
Am deep into Berseria now. Zaveid would be the main reason for playing this game after a disappointing first impression of it 12hrs in during my first run few years ago. Sorry, Sorey sucks as a protagonist.
Ignoring skills and abilities. Honestly, it's what I do as well. I'm so busy always grinding equipment and whatnot, I never have a chance to make a character build. The moment something reaches max level, it's on the next equipment. Honestly, it's not a terrible game, but it's very rough. There's simultaneously too much going on and not enough exciting thing to keep you interested. I'm about thirty hours in and it's beena chore at points.
@@mathewhosier9739 I'm not sure the original comment is a criticism on gameplay-heavy JPRGs. From my understanding of their post, their criticism is that despite the complexity, it ends up feeling more empty than it actually is.
No matter how hard I wish or how hard I try, I can't understand the hate of Vesperia fanboys who kept sh*tting on this game and asking people not to buy it. Now they are desperately trying to sell Vesperia to the point of really pushing it (more like begging?). I love Zesty because I love the characters. I didn't pay much attention to the villains... This was supposed to be a 3-part story... that might explain the lack in many details that's supposed to be put in the extension which didn't materialize becoz of the bashing it got. Idk why people complain about the difficulty of the gear or whatever. I love the thinking part. Maybe gamers just wanna have to play easy and get it done with. ALSO warning... Vesperia fans use multiple accounts to spread their hate. The hate is absurd becoz they don't say anything specific and when they do... it's like they're saying only Zesty has those flaws and any other game is perfect. It's how the hate is expressed which is weird and scary. As a reviewer, it's nice you didn't apologize to Vesperia fans/Tales fans for saying positive things about Zesteria, because OTHER reviewers did just that. They're kinda scared of getting TOXICATED, maybe. And that makes their objectivity questionable. I understand the flaws you pointed out, and I agree with some, but I still enjoyed Zestiria despite all that. I guess that means the game's good points are not overwhelmed by those little flaws. I take character as the most important, so I easily fell in love with this game. One thing I disagree with. Some movements are more fluid and natural than Berseria's. And ZESTY MUSIC just took my breath away... It's the best in the RPG universe for me. But that's just me.
@@GilgaMax305 Thanks for admitting that. Because the way Vesperians BASH other people, they think they're the ONLY ONES entitled to free speech, and by insulting others, they think they can make them shut up. Like they always say "stfu" even if they're the ones ranting their heads off.
@@xspawnx83 Can you relax when people call you "mental" and send you death wishes out of the blue? Just because they know you gave positive opinion of Zestiria? And they stalk you even in Tales of Arise game sites and everywhere else?
I buy it on the steam in sale(in 2018) for 4,99 euro...and I am glad, cause for me it was the worst tale in a bunch...for me best was vesperia and symphony those I enjoy play and even want all throphie but this...I finish it and that´s it, I even don´t want to replay it
Zestria's story is garbage, why is Eizen a dragon? Why is this game after Berseria? Where are Phi, Magilou, Eleanor and Rokurou? This game doesn't make fucking sense!
They're dead because Zest takes place 1000 years after Bers. Phi is in Zestiria and you should know that if you finished Berseria. Eizen becoming a dragon was foreshadowed in Bers as well.

Andrew Doepping thanks , stopped at 1 min in cause of those comment
That's why I stopped watching, thankfully I wasn't paying much attention anyways lol. I just looked at the comments instead
Hopefully we’ll continue in this world of Zesti and Berseria in later games. Glad Zesti gets some love.

@@buttertoast1146 Nope. This was about 800 years after the events of Berseria, so Velvet was out of the picture by then.

Why was the game hated? I want to try it.

Vesperia is the ffvii? I thought that was Symphonia, people love that game for nostalgia purposes even tho it's awfully generic and ain't nothing compared to the rest of the series.
You convinced me man, just played berseria and loved it. Saw bad review earlier about zestiria, but I'll give it a try after your video.
Nice, hope you enjoy it!

I know I'm in the minority but I liked zesti more than besi for a couple reasons
Hellion’s turn into dragons when their malevolence reaches its peak, I think Lailah said something along those lines towards the beginning of the game

Vesperia's combat is annoying because it needs loading screen when you are entering combat. it slows down gameplay and annoys
deangelis well if the first problem that comes to mind is a loading screen and not the actual combat thats a win in my book
Zesteria has better
David Bird has better what?
If you put it on a wishlist and wait for a sale, the game is $12.49 on steam.
Is the Maine villian a reference to Ganondorf? And this pistol guy did he tried to summon a persona Ina tales game?

So how did you play Berseria before Zestiria and say you didn’t know what the promise was between Zaveid and Eizen or not be familiar with Maotelus? Did you finish Berseria? Holy shit, I know Zestiria gets shit on often but damn you literally played a prequel that explained what rhe hell is going on
Lmaoooooo true
Interesting, I can find this game for $20 on PS4 but it is like $60 for PS3. I wonder why someone would pay 3 times as much for it on PS3 just because it's rare on that console when the PS4 probably looks better? I don't have PS4 yet but thinking about grabbing this game and some otehr PS4 games for when the PS5 is actually availalble. Currently have PS3.
Look, I can get it used for 10€, I'm here for the story and exploration. Is it worth it?
If you played Berseria, liked it and want more story yes. Otherwise no.
Not for the story, 2 main reasons I play these games is for the battle system and the deep progression systems, I'm here to play games after all not watch them, that's why I enjoy jrpgs so much, japanese developers are the best at creating fun combat systems with complex and deep progression
It’s 90% off and only $5.99 now on PSN. I might finally pick this turd up. Arise has spoiled me though.
Yup I bought it for that price a couple weeks ago I’m enjoying it. Not as heartfelt like Vesperia but it’s pretty good so far
Am deep into Berseria now. Zaveid would be the main reason for playing this game after a disappointing first impression of it 12hrs in during my first run few years ago. Sorry, Sorey sucks as a protagonist.
Ignoring skills and abilities. Honestly, it's what I do as well.
I'm so busy always grinding equipment and whatnot, I never have a chance to make a character build. The moment something reaches max level, it's on the next equipment.
Honestly, it's not a terrible game, but it's very rough. There's simultaneously too much going on and not enough exciting thing to keep you interested.
I'm about thirty hours in and it's beena chore at points.
If you don't like gameplay heavy jrpgs maybe the tales series isn't for you
@@mathewhosier9739 I'm not sure the original comment is a criticism on gameplay-heavy JPRGs. From my understanding of their post, their criticism is that despite the complexity, it ends up feeling more empty than it actually is.
No matter how hard I wish or how hard I try, I can't understand the hate of Vesperia fanboys who kept sh*tting on this game and asking people not to buy it. Now they are desperately trying to sell Vesperia to the point of really pushing it (more like begging?). I love Zesty because I love the characters. I didn't pay much attention to the villains... This was supposed to be a 3-part story... that might explain the lack in many details that's supposed to be put in the extension which didn't materialize becoz of the bashing it got. Idk why people complain about the difficulty of the gear or whatever. I love the thinking part. Maybe gamers just wanna have to play easy and get it done with.
ALSO warning... Vesperia fans use multiple accounts to spread their hate. The hate is absurd becoz they don't say anything specific and when they do... it's like they're saying only Zesty has those flaws and any other game is perfect.
It's how the hate is expressed which is weird and scary. As a reviewer, it's nice you didn't apologize to Vesperia fans/Tales fans for saying positive things about Zesteria, because OTHER reviewers did just that. They're kinda scared of getting TOXICATED, maybe. And that makes their objectivity questionable.
I understand the flaws you pointed out, and I agree with some, but I still enjoyed Zestiria despite all that.
I guess that means the game's good points are not overwhelmed by those little flaws. I take character as the most important, so I easily fell in love with this game.
One thing I disagree with. Some movements are more fluid and natural than Berseria's. And ZESTY MUSIC just took my breath away... It's the best in the RPG universe for me. But that's just me.
OK relax buddy.
Chill out man, your opinion is an 'opinion'. Just like everyone else's opinion with Vesperia lol
@@GilgaMax305 Thanks for admitting that. Because the way Vesperians BASH other people, they think they're the ONLY ONES entitled to free speech, and by insulting others, they think they can make them shut up. Like they always say "stfu" even if they're the ones ranting their heads off.
@@xspawnx83 Can you relax when people call you "mental" and send you death wishes out of the blue? Just because they know you gave positive opinion of Zestiria? And they stalk you even in Tales of Arise game sites and everywhere else?
@@turquoisemoon3654 After all its the Internet. Report and block them. Dont act like they coming for you irl.
Is it worth 11?
Bought it for $7, on steam.

Iladhuny Nugroho thank you!
I buy it on the steam in sale(in 2018) for 4,99 euro...and I am glad, cause for me it was the worst tale in a bunch...for me best was vesperia and symphony those I enjoy play and even want all throphie but this...I finish it and that´s it, I even don´t want to replay it
Tales of symphonia is my fav
Just got this for $2
came here to see if it's worth the $2 lol
@@yvngtrost1686 I just finished the game. It was good for sure. Nice RPG 7/10 worth the $2
The game is cheap but there are 38 add ons for this in the ps store. Lol. I'll pass.
They are only cosmetics to my knowledge and they are definitely not going to affect the whole experience.
Plus the opening sucks! Doesn't really fit the Tales series.
Zestria's story is garbage, why is Eizen a dragon? Why is this game after Berseria? Where are Phi, Magilou, Eleanor and Rokurou? This game doesn't make fucking sense!
They're dead because Zest takes place 1000 years after Bers. Phi is in Zestiria and you should know that if you finished Berseria. Eizen becoming a dragon was foreshadowed in Bers as well.
Actually the game explains everything unless you didn't play berseria
this is kingdom hearts levels of bad writing and shit storytelling
