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

What? What is this?

I'm more excited for this game than I ever was for Xillia and Xillia 2.

This tone. This opening sequence. These amazing NPCs.

I didn't think I would ever want to play another Tales of as badly as I wanted to play Symphonia.

I'm hyped yet at the same time I feel like I can wait half a year for this, mainly because I feel I don't have the time to play this atm.

STILL, Kamui fusion looks sick as f*ck and I'm ready to hop on that shit.

Plus we get Dragons, DRAGOOOOOOOOONS. Rawr.

Man that OP is dope as shit. I gotta agree with the Slivman, this game stands out. Really wish there was a PS4 port though.

The opening song wasn't really what I expected, but it works! I like it Getting more and more tempted to import this...

So I've been watching a playthrough and have heard a few music (Still hoping someone upload the OST on youtube). Anyway, the music is really amazing. I mean I was NEVER one to just bash Motoi Sakuraba like many others but I did know many of the tracks where a bit repetitive but overall I loved Tales Series OST, not to mention I've heard countless time Bamco ask Motoi to use similar styles in each Tales, so he couldn't do much...

But the music I'm hearing now sound very much like an improvement, I heard a track that sounds very Eternal Sonata-ish in the village of the Seraphs. And the Battle theme is very heroic! I can't tell if I've heard Go Shiina yet. But I love what I hear so far!

Don't do it Moonie, it's only half a year..... damn that's a long time.

So we have a release date? :O

Release window, this summer.

Hopefully that's for europe too then.

Screw the reviews.

Bro. We can't play the game yet. We can form opinions based from what we watch in streams buit it's up to you to decide that when you play the game.

Based on what I've seen, I have incredibly mixed opinions. The gameplay seems more needlessly complicated (even in terms of something as simple as selecting equipment) and filled with lots of limitations. Plus, the graphics really are a total rehash from Xillia. And how hard would it have been to include pictures of items in the menus? Why would they choose NOT to include pictures? I just don't understand it.

The music is amazing though, and I like the characters. I like them better than the Xillia cast.

I'm convinced that after Xillia, the "Anniversary" logo is a deadly logo. Zesty has the 20th.

PS4 rerelease, when?

I still like my PS3 tho.

And next year with ToZ Chronicles

You can keep your ps3.

Just give us the enhanced port when it comes out please. Akiba's Trip did that cause based Xseed. So Namco can do it too.

*Watches opening*

Awwwww yis. Good stuff. It only points out how ridiculous Edna looks, but otherwise. Theme is a nice change of pace.

I've only seen a couple niconico rips on Youtube, but I am happier than is merited that the battles finally create a barrier around the existing environment rather than screen-transition. That's surreal coming from Tales.

What? I thought the ground stomp thing was pretty cool.

They can do it, but will they?

It could definitely use some current-gen polish. Gotta be honest, from what little I've seen, the in-game visuals are not great.

Yuuup......

My copy has arrived! And I have the Alisha strap, which is actually the one I wanted least of all, but beggars can't be choosers.

Edit: Hey, does anyone know if there's a way to limit item usage from my party members? It doesn't seem to be an option in the Strategy menu, and the last thing I want is for my party members to snack on healing items when they're not supposed to.
