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

For a while I've been getting the feeling he and Dezel would have a Kratos/Zelos thing going on. Especially judging from his placement in the artwork. If he was just a villain he's probably have unique placement compared to the other party members. I also find Alisha's placement weird considering shes supposed to be the female protagonist.

Why are Mystic Artes preorder DLC?

I guess, every character will have one (or two) ingame but you can buy extra MAs? As long as that is true it's not that bad.

I wonder why Lailah(?) position so... odd. Background and so on.
Lailah for traitor™

And I really hope that Rose means that we will not have fixed members. After all she seems able to see the others.

Now for something silly: Rose is wearing real pants!

Buying the beta on disc day 1.

Yay another Fujishima character :3

Pre order MAs.

Collector's Edition exclusive in NA.

Holy **** Namco keeps getting better and better.

Better include that Slay figure, that book of his containing a prologue story, & a 50% off coupon on the next CE.

That last of which expires the day before we can even use it.

Me if this becomes a new habit:

I am a bit excited now for the Tokyo Game show as before i thought it was just going to be more bland gameplay footage that we have already seen. Though with all that has been revealed today I wonder if some of it should have been saved til the show.

I know man, but pls contain your inner fanboyism else you would cause a scene good sir.

Speaking of which, these preorder MAs better be damn good.

So I guess we're at a point where exploring in submarines, getting your family's heritage sword, or raising affinity points aren't enough to get new Mystic Artes.

That's cool.

Like all those times I praised them for splendid jobs and decisions? Hoh boy!

I'm okay with this if that means costumes are in the game this time. Yes I know there's no way that will happen *weeps for my wallet*

Commercial

Are those attacks at the end of the video supposed to be the pre order mystic artes? Also judging from the video a major group of enemies are going to be lizard/dragon humanoids.

We already somewhat know that Dragoooooooonsssssss are gonna be a major plot point of the story.

Still not sold on those "cameo" Mystic Artes.

I mean it's like "Oh boy Stan uses Final Fury! Wait, Jude also uses Final Fury?! Cameo Mystic Arte!"

We need more info on the dragonoids :/
Also I dig the OP, very upbeat and rocking. Looking forward for the complete version.

Tbh who is?

At least these uhm, special MSs will not be missed.


And I would not judge the monster types by that short 14s video.
We all know that they will just recycle most of them from older games.

Triforce confirmed

Nice to see some footage of Rose.

Looks typical Tales. But the ADVENTURE kind of typical Tales, which I like.

Here are some Famitsu scans:

I see Zaveid standing with the group in the lower right picture on the second page. I'm getting more playable character vibes.

I guess Zaveid is the new Flynn and Rose the traitor perhaps?

So far everything about this game looks amazing. I'm getting this day 1.

Plottwist prediction: Dragons are the original inhabitants of that world, and humans are from another.

At 1:08, is that Sharilton again? Think they'll sell mutton?

Well now we know that Tales of Zestiria will be out for NA/EU sometime in Summer 2015 which is quite a speedy localization I must say and I am very excited to play this. I guess I won't be upgrading to a PS4 anytime soon.
