Oh why couldn't her design have been like that

The brown jacket/sweater/hoodie(dunno how to call it exactly) does look good on her. COuld also be her "alternate best looking" costume.

EDIT. FOund this on Gfaqs Zestiria board:

Aside from the brother thing, she sounds pretty much like Rita. I wonder if her bro will be playable?

I like Doujinshi to lol somehow I forgot the 'we got two' in that so that means that Slay has a invisible GF and BF? what is Alicia going to say? I'm joking sorry if I offend anyone with that joke lol I guess that reminds me not to type that fast and not look over my work >_< I think my updated Icon is going to be off a doujinshi I might update it later

Alicia looks fun and experimental to play as.

So, guys, how would you react if they confirmed this as an Online Multiplayer game? Will it gain hatred á la Monolith Soft's X? Would you like a Heroes vs Dragons Hunting mode, where human players can level up dragons as well as master artes?

Been thinking based on the scans how local multiplayer would work. I suspect camera will zoom-in/out depending on how many characters are on-screen. Sadly, I believe guest players won't be able to travel by themselves when exploring. Not to be saddened, as such thing has never been implemented to the franchise.

And, I don't know. This game's combat might get a severe approach of that of Ys Seven/Celceta. Maybe it's just me.

DO you mean how they changed from Napishtim engine to party engine? Doubt it, Namco does tweaks but does not change the core gameplay or systems.

Also, if this game got a change like that, it'll be faster than Graces, which is the fastest Tales battle system to date. I mean, look at how combat got even more fast paced in Celceta!

I was thinking about the combat design. I'm throwing my 2 cents that Zestiria will play like Celceta but a little slower if not with TOX2's speed with 4 members on-screen and the usual, combo-dedicated system. Watch characters being selectable real-time for strategy sake.

That dragon is absurdly amazing. I never thought of using horns like that.

Namco sure likes their Spirit Climes.

Those spires.

I still think if it's seamless combat (no transition to combat screen) or not is up for debate. From the screens I saw, it either looks like we're getting separate battle screen but larger areas or really on-map battles.

I for one want seamless combat, on-map battles. Makes it more interesting, ala Xenoblade.

i swear if this game has no valvrave costume ill shave my head

what's next? slay's mentor as villain voiced by ono daisuke?

If his mentor exists and is part of the holy beings... well, then I would say yes. I wouldn't be too surprised if these people are the real "evil" in this world and the dragons are nice intelligent beings or something like that.

I'd love if her brother was playable I've wanted another pair of siblings in a Tales party :0 (or family in general)

For Edna's jacket design, I remember them saying Slay has a wardrobe of things to choose from? Maybe everyone will get a couple garments? Maybe.

I really like what I'm seeing of Alicia's style! Exactly what I wanted her to be :3 (Maybe we'll finally get a lancer class in the next TotW)

Edna's personality sounds really cool, I like her concept and I'm excited to see how she's played out. So far the cast looks like they're going to compliment the "pure-hearted" main character well.

I'm actually hoping its not seamless on-map battles, but I think that depends on how exactly they're going to implement it I guess, I'm of course going to give whatever they do a chance.

The return of Veigue's Mueishou, oh man

I also enjoy that the monkey on her umbrella has significance (and that its named Norman xD)

The scans pretty much confirm a Day-Night transition cycle. The environments look colorful; they just need to fill them with things (Just hoping a wide variety of stuff, aside from Mining spots, monsters, and Discovery locations).

When will they throw more BGM samples? I want more Shiina goodness.

inb4 Shiina only does little tracks.

Though, I wouldn't mind Sakuraba if they gave him more freedom and an orchestra. Dark Souls boss themes anyone? Ornstein and Smough lol

I've finally updated the first post, though I had to cut some corners, I'll be keeping it up to date from now on, please tell me if you want anything in particular compiled! I'll be updating it with everything from DLC to Battle Mechanics but if you have anything in particular please tell me! This way we'll have a nice little summary for release~

New character.

Name's Lyra(ライラ??), design by Inomata, voiced by Miyu Matsuki.

I like her design. Looks a bit like... a princess (I hope she's not).
That's the fifth character, right?
I wonder if the other party members will be that young (looking), too.

She looks really gorgeous.

I'm a bit annoyed that all the characters revealed so far seem to cater to Slay though. The Tenzoku concept is cool, but I'm starting to feel sorry for Alisha and wonder what she's even doing in the party when Slay's so busy making invisible friends. I wish Namco'd revealed a few more human characters first to balance things out.

They are all playably, Alica can probably see them too.

Oh, she can? I should pay more attention to news other than new chara introductions, haha. Forget what I said XD;

And I assume she is, I mean she's got a weapon listed and everything...

Yeah, I also phrased it better.

Theres no way they can fight togheter if she can't see them. D:

And yeah I just saw on AC that she use paper as weapon.
