Tales of Zestiria (PS3) Speculation/News (Pre-Release)

I thought it would be Slay in Presa's outfit, not Presa with Slay's head.

Now I feel stupid. I read Presea, lol

Both Preslay and Preslaya are killing me.
Part of me wants to get in on it too...I need a followup to Regatel.
(And is it just me, or is Reservia acting up today?)
Edit: huh, loads fine on the Wii. No idea why it's taking several minutes on my computer...

THOSE ARE BOTH AMAZING THANK THE LORDS

(the site's giving me troubles today after never giving me troubles D:)

I wonder how closely the NA release will be to the JP release for Zestiria, considering they were announced to both audiences at the same time (probably to calm the wonderings of fans on our side though). We haven't gotten the same information and it hasn't been said so I'm thinking not simultaneous development, but I feel like the trend is that it will be closer than the last few for sure. (sorry if you are on both Tales forums and you have to reread this part xD)

Sorry to double post, but Famitsu scans coming in soon!! Nore is blogging about it, no actual scans yet, I'll update the first post after AC updates, but I'll post what I see on the official forum here!, I'm going to direct quote because I'm a lazy studying bumpkin:

oh there's additional info on that Nore blog..

so it seems Doushi can make Contract with multiple Tenzoku.. and the ideal for it that Doushi make contract with all 4 element Tenzoku, and no one in history can make it that far..

and this indicates our next Tenzoku character is probably Wind element, while the rest in human

also from there



Mikulio's Taramizu reminds me of Tiramisu xDD

Its a different spin on a Graces-type thing it looks like, I thought it might be, this seems interesting (and might still lend itself to on-field battles possibly) Can't wait for more info!

Milla 4 cameo fight

Oooh, more info! I await the scans. :3
With this info, I really hope we have more humans than Slay and Alicia so we won't end up with a situation like Graces where most of the characters have magic as their other style of artes. Especially if we're right in speculating that a wind tenzoku is coming up (the info seems to suggest that it'll happen). Ideally we'd have eight, with four humans and four tenzoku. At least, that's what I'd like.

Interesting that Edna has Embrace End.

Milla, Klarth, Sheena, and Grune 4 cameo fight

Eh... I don't like the idea of mid-range and spells only... :/

I'm the opposite, it's perfect for me xD

The bottom two seem to be their physical/mid-range artes, the names are really interesting :0

I also find it interesting that they are lumping Ice with Earth this time around, kind of making sense coming off Xillia.

I really like the mid-range thing, I'm disheartened none of the Tenzoku will be full close-combat, but I think they will still be usable that way from how it looks, can't wait for screenshots/the scan <3

Taramizu is actually Tachimizu, corrected by Yume on the other forums xD Whoopz no Italian dessert for Mikky

Powder Snow? Don't tell me Ice attacks are still combo of Earth and Water. The one thing I would prefer is if Ice and Lightning were their own elements again.

I love that picture. Looks like he isn't oblivious to love - at least I hope

Do you want me to tell you about bazongas?

Say whaaaaaaaat?

And she's talking about youth and male friendship XD

Now I see why some people call her a fujoshi...

Looks like she may also have a "desu ne?" verbal tic. though that's only going off of one screenshot.

Darn it, I actually laughed.

It seems unlikely, judging from other quotes. She just uses polite speech.

It's not a bad idea, the problems is that all Divines are going to be like this meaning it can make battles easier.

The magazine also mentions that, ideally, a Priest should make a contract with 4 Divine of 4 different elements. However, no one has ever managed to do that so far.

Prediction: Divine that have formed a contract with a priest are visible to everyone, not just Slay.

inb4 Wind Divine is anti-hero

Actually, watch the antagonists be another group of Divine lead by a misguided priest with a different game plan.  Tales loves its well-intentioned extremist villains.

So Slay might end up Monk with all the people who are not human that are with him beside Alicia I still want more into about this whole marriage contract so there might be a splash of Romance? I almost feel bad for Slay in a 3 way triangle with powers that don't count Alicia but this is starting to sound fun

Wait where are we getting 'marriage' from here? I don't think these are that kind of contract.
