Black and White. Let's Play Tales of Berseria / Zestiria Two games this time? Yep, two. Tales of Berseria (2016 / 17) is the 16th mainline entry in the Tales series, while Zestiria (2015) was the 15th. As for why two games under the same roof? These two are the rare back-to-back Tales releases that, plot-wise, are related to each other. Although Berseria was released second, it is a prequel to Zestiria, which will become pretty clear as you progress further into the game. As for why I'm doing Berseria first? Thematic significance, mostly. So what will this thread look like? This first post in the thread will be dedicated to Berseria, as it's the first game I'll cover here. For the first time in the Tales series, the protagonist is a woman: Velvet Crowe. Not to spoil too much right in the first post, but her tale brings her from her humble home to becoming a world-shaking calamity. Berseria takes a lot of its gameplay inspirations from prior entries in the series, but differences from prior entries, both significant and not, will become evident pretty quickly. Progression in this game is pretty typical Tales fare: there's a main quest where all the plot and character development occurs, and as the game world opens up, so too does its optional content. I will, of course, cover this title as thoroughly as possible. And how about costumes? Of course, costumes and accessories are in this game, and out in full force. Although the system works somewhat differently from the Xillia games, that is certainly no reason we can't have our fun with it when the time comes. Like with my Xillia 2 thread, posters in this thread who are lucky enough to be chosen will get to have their costume preferences chosen and put on display for a few updates. I've already written updates 1-4 as of posting this thread, but once we get to part 5, then the fun begins. I'll ask everyone I choose to come up with a full slate of costumes for the entire party for a particular point in the plot, but if you choose only a couple costumes, that is no obstacle. Any characters who do not have outfits / accessories chosen, I will come up with those. And, of course, spoilers This thread will be a bit unusual in that we're playing the second game made before the first one, which you are kinda expected to know prior to playing Berseria. There's no helping it based on what I envision this thread to be, but do try to keep spoilers for Berseria and its numerous connections to Zestiria in spoiler tags until they come up in the thread. You don't actually need to know anything about Zestiria to get the plot of this game (the reverse is also true), but connections are fun, right? There are big and little ties between the two games that veterans should mostly pick up on. If I miss anything of particular significance, feel free to let the thread know in spoiler tags.

 This LP was written with the expectation you have already read my Tales of Berseria LP, which was completed just prior to beginning this game  The second half? The second half. Zestiria was, as already mentioned, the game released before Berseria was. It was essentially developed as the Tales' Series 20th anniversary game and got a lot of pre-release hype and anticipation for it because of that, and it was a major project for Tales Studio. After its release, well, opinions, let's say, diverged on it. My general impression of what I've heard of it is that, while it's certainly not without its merits, it's just not as polished or compelling as some prior entries. I'll just come out and say my two cents on it, at least from what I remember of it from more than a half decade ago, when I last played this game. Is it better than Berseria? I wouldn't say so. There's all kinds of little things, none exactly deal-breaking, that conspire to bring down the final product. Is it as bad as I've usually seen it portrayed? Again, I would say no. I remember thinking after I first finished Berseria I didn't think it was *that* much of an improvement. They basically have the same gameplay, but of course, there's a lot of gimmicks that are in both titles to give both a unique identity. Whether I'll still feel that way by the end, well, we'll just have to see. Tales of Zestiria the X? Yes, there was a 26-episode anime adaptation of this game, emphasis on "adaptation". The series aired back in 2016-2017 and is generally seen as the superior version of the story, insofar as the game and anime's plots can be compared. Apart from some very broad similarities, though, the game and anime do play out significantly differently, with the anime emphasizing the roles of many minor and sort of major characters while necessarily pushing others into the background. The anime also makes a lot of big changes to the way the plot plays out. It would really belabor the point to point out *every* difference between the anime and game, so if you wanna see how everything compares by the end, I do encourage you to check it out. Any differences of particular import, though, I will point those out as I see fit. There is actually another adaptation of Zestiria, called Tales of Zestiria: Dawn of the Shepherd. This bonus Blu-ray was available as a pre-order bonus from some places, I believe, that adapts the opening act of the story pretty faithfully. What's covered in Dawn of the Shepherd is basically all of Part I of the Zestiria half of this thread, but it's animated, so there's that at least. Zestiria the X also adapts a very small part of Berseria, namely the prologue sequence on Titania. It embellishes proceedings a bit, but it all basically plays out the same way. Spoiler Policy Again, standard stuff. No spoilers either for the anime's comparisons with the game or the game's plot itself. As always, anything I mention in an update, feel free to consider it not a spoiler or no longer one. Updates Opening Act: The Boy in Blue Part I: The Dawn of a Shepherd Part II: The Festival of a Blade First Act: The Path Stained by an Ebony Shadow Part III: The Power of a Hero Part IV: The Perils of a Journey Part V: The Roar of a Mountain Part VI: The Sickness of a City Part VII: The Din of a Battlefield Second Act: A Golden World Waiting to Shine Part VIII: The Depths of a Ruin Part IX: The Land of an Empire Part X: The Rain of a Capital Part XI: The Path of an Adventure Part XII: The Mysteries of a Country Part XIII: The Trials of a Pilgrimage Part XIV: The Wind of a Canyon Third Act: So Many Colors in the Rainbow Future Part : The ■■ of a ■■ Part XV: The Parting of a Friend Part XVI: The Continuation of a Road Part XVII: The Shining of a Jewel Part XVIII: The Truth of an Age Part XIX: The Resolution of a Conflict Part XX: The Light of a Star Final Act: The White Light that Will Never Be Dirtied Part XXI: The Crisis of a Village Part XXII: The Tales of a Troupe Part XXIII: The End of a Dream Part XXIV: The Advent of an Aurora, Part 1 Part XXV: The Mysteries of a World ■■ Act: A Blooming Lilac that Paves Her Way Part XXVI: The Strength of a Knight Part XXVII: The Pride of a Princess Falling Act Part XXVIII: The Advent of an Aurora, Part 2 Sylphid fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Nov 13, 2023 |

I’ve never been that interested in Zestiria, but oh man is Berseria one of my favorite games I can’t play for physical reasons. It has a very interesting tone that manages to condemn the actions of the characters while leaving them sympathetic, and the world it portrays is dark in a way that really sells how hosed up things are without it getting overwhelming, grimdark, or completely hopeless. Doesn’t hurt how sapphic it gets either. Any reason you’re using this particular format? Both in why you picked screenshot over video (I was surprised that link didn’t lead me to YouTube, you may want to make that clear in the OP since I would have probably just stopped after the first video instead of sticking around) and why you’re putting things in the test post instead of straight in the thread. I don’t really have a problem with it, but I’m curious.

I've always enjoyed how much darker (by Tales standards) Berseria is compared to most of the series. That entire opening arc just solidifies it. You're not regenerating the world, you're not stopping a poison fog, you're not helping the personification of god destroy world-eating tech... You're just out for pure revenge. It's quite the ride.

I mean, this rear end in a top hat just ritually sacrificed his eleven years old brother-in-law for reasons and turned his sister-in-law into a Velvet & most of her party are not exactly good people, quite the opposite, but they're loving saints compared to Artorius.

Although to be fair they don't care about any collateral damage they do in their pursuit of revenge, they just don't go out of the way to cause it.

Nice for this to start about the same time I pick the game back up. Interesting that you're going opposite of the release order--from what I understand, too, is that Zestiria is... less well received. Admittedly, I've never played Zestiria.

Zestiria is definitely the inferior game but there are definitely things to commend it, in some places more than Berseria (for example, I consider the Zesty soundtrack a lot more memorable than Bersy). If Berseria is an 8 or 9 out of 10, Zestiria would be high 6 or 7 if you ask me, as much as I hate rating things via numbers. But, take that for what it's worth, since I have fairly loose standards when it comes to what I'll say was good or not. As long as a game is not actively awful to play or something like that, I'll probably say it was good at the end of the day. It's a lot more evident Zesty had a rougher development cycle, which reflects a lot of the odd choices that are in the final game, but I didn't consider any of them particular dealbreakers.

Haha I was literally starting to put together some plans for Zestiria but I was gonna go the complete opposite route and go open spoilers/burn it all down. What timing, huh? Anyway Berseria is really good and feels the best to play more or less since Graces, so despite a lot of small stuff like a lackluster soundtrack it gets a pass for being ridiculously fun.

Please do still; I have never seen a game crash and burn in nearly every aspect the way Zestiria does. It is the only game I've ever finished out of spite. The fact that the anime adaptation goes in a complete different direction is a marked improvement in every way. Berseria's great though, and I hope people enjoy it.

No one having done Bersy before surprised me, Zesty less so. Especially considering how much of the Tales series had been LP'd before now. Even though it’s been going for like a decade now, the Archive does have a few notable holes left to fill. I was kind of stunned that Katawa Shoujo didn’t have an entry there given how prominent it was in its time. Also, Loegres (or Logres) is in fact roughly Arthurian England  . Specifically, it’s descended from the Welsh word for the rough southeastern third of Britain (which later evolved into the Welsh word for England in general). For context, Cambria was the rest of England and the southern part of Scotland, Alba/Albany was the rest of Scotland, and Cornwall was Cornwall. Etymologically, it probably derives from a Welsh word meaning “outsiders”, as opposed to Cambria and Cymru, local names for Wales that translate to “countrymen”. Had the Anglo-Saxons treated that name like they did most regional names, we could have ended up with a major part of the British Isles called Cumland, but no, we had to go with a Germanic word meaning “foreigners live here” instead  .

Is that really that controversial? I thought it was broadly pretty accepted that Tales music was generally pretty samey and peak "Sakuraba-phoning-it-in". Most of the actual standout tracks are other composers, like in Zestiria there's a couple dungeon themes that really pop and are coincidentally written by Go Shiina.

Some people have a soft spot for certain early Tales songs, I’d guess (Fighting of the Spirit from all the way back in Phantasia is likely one of the bigger ones, but no I’d absolutely buy that. Sakuraba’s best work really is elsewhere (Mario Sports, Golden Sun, Dark Souls, Valkyrie Profile, the arrangement of Wood Man he did for Smash, Baten Kaitos…). I’d absolutely buy that Fury Sparks, the one Vesperia song that people actually remember, was Hibiki Aoyama and not him. See also Legendia, which I haven’t listened to all the way but iirc is all Shiina and has one of the better soundtracks for Tales on the whole. But hey, almost all my Tales knowledge is LP-based.

All I know is, the last time I dared disparage the music in a Tales of game, it made a lot of people very upset at me. Same with when I said a lot of the music in the Disgaea games blended together, but that's another story for another thread

I'd say Phantasia is overall the strongest Tales soundtrack mostly by Sakuraba, but obviously that all was a long time ago. There's been occasional mostly good soundtracks, like Symphonia or Abyss, and some with some good tracks, like X2, but I do agree they should have gotten a new main composer a while ago.

Chalk it up to a lot of Bersy being hazy to me. That said, it's easy to overlook herbs in these games because I never use them. Unless you have a really easy source of them (i.e. Symphonia) I just let the weeds keep growing in the closet dimension all the spare items I pick up go into and almost never come out.

Does Velvet’s voice sound forced and growly because her VA is trying and failing to make her seem intimidating? Or is it because she’s spent three years eating people as her only social interaction, leaving her so awkward that trying to puff herself up is all she can do when she socializes? You decide!

If I remember correctly "time" in this case is on the order of tens of hours, so you're not exactly likely to ever bother to harvest anything a second time. Berseria is definitely my favorite Tales game, and Zesteria is probably my least favorite Tales game. I do think Berseria does a really good job of showing how a good "evil" party dynamic works - there are a lot of ways to have people be more or less loyal to their comrades (sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for self-preservation, etc.) while they work together towards a common goal and still have them be utter bastards to people in the process.

Bersy's villainous party is a good example of how to do it well, rather than the God of War III-style of villain protagonist where, given the implied number of completely innocent lives you've taken by the end of it, you're at the far, far south pole of the moral compass. It does help the party's sympathy points that daemons are still capable of rational thought / intelligent conversation, unlike if they just became rabid beasts upon transformation. Well, it might depend on how long a person is transformed. Velvet and Rokurou have always seemed to be in control of their mental faculties, but presumably the Aball villagers she slaughtered in the prologue were not.

Well, it might depend on how long a person is transformed. Velvet and Rokurou have always seemed to be in control of their mental faculties, but presumably the Aball villagers she slaughtered in the prologue were not. If I remember correctly, Velvet and Rokurou don't really do much of anything that harms humans (outside of battle of course). I would call them less "villains" and more "vilified" and it's not like most people run away from them in fear unless they somehow find out they are demons. NPCs talk to them fairly freely and kids come up to Velvet a few times without being scared by her. Hell, their motivations are pretty simple and small (Velvet wants revenge on Arthur for her and Laphicet and Rokurou has a story that we'll get to later). The only people that are hostile to them is the church and their exorcists from what I remember. As to other demons, other than being monsters that may at times go berserk, most of the demons we meet don't really act like "demons" outside of a few criminals who I could argue would be criminals even if they were human. That does remind me that i never finished this game, nor have I played Zesteria. This is my first PC Tales game since I upgraded my machine back in 2019. I'm up to the part after we got the full party and learned a major plot-twist Therions are like the mouths of the big evil and when they feed, that energy gets passed down to it or something and Velvet is the main Therion, so I may have missed some stuff or might be wrong on some of it.

And, let's be totally fair, pre-Advent if there was an outbreak of daemonblight in your town, apparently there was absolutely nothing you could do about it. It was just a throwaway line between Niko and that shopkeeper but the Midgand Empire's military was completely helpless against the daemons. The party may not usually go out of their way to involve neutral parties, but the world is a lot less safe of a place with Velvet in it.

Dirk the Average posted:If I remember correctly "time" in this case is on the order of tens of hours, so you're not exactly likely to ever bother to harvest anything a second time. The game tooltip is misleading in that it mentions time at all. A better way of describing the respawn mechanics is that there are always at least 50 herbs spawned somewhere in the world, and if picking an herb makes it go below that number, then a random already-picked herb will respawn. You start out with a little over a hundred herbs in the world, so once you're a little more than halfway through you can start seeing respawns. And of course, once you hit that point, it's a constant leave-a-penny take-a-penny from then on: every herb you pick will cause another one to respawn.

And now that we've reached the point in this LP where the pre-written updates have all been posted (with the exception of the first part of V), it's time for outfit customization to be a part of this thread. Like I said in the OP, every 3-4 updates I'll choose someone new to choose outfits for everyone in the party. Anyone not chosen is up to me. Your accessories this time are...Berseria Accessories posted:Hat And then as for costumes, these have no costume restrictions like accessories. Everyone has a set of Normin costumes (void, earth, wind, water, flame, and regular) that gives them either a Normin Head (for the hairstyle choice) and/or Normin Body (again, these are mascot characters), a hat style (intended for hat-wearers), Bienfu head / body (THIS game's mascot character, he appears briefly in the OP), a pirate style, and rounding out the crew, Legacy haircuts. Eizen gets a Regular Outfit, Jacketless Outfit, Color Variant (red coat and gray undershirt), Hot Spring Outfit, Serving Clothes, Swimwear, Winter Clothes, Boss Clothes (that samurai outfit he was wearing in his first scene), a pirate outfit, and his Legacy outfit, which is a blue coat, teal undershirt, and large white boots. Number Two gets a Fairytail haircut, a winter style haircut with the top part of a parka, and a Legacy haircut where his cowlick sticks to the side instead of up. He gets a color variant with a green coat, hot spring, jacketless, serving clothes, swimwear, winter clothes, village clothes, a Legacy outfit consisting of a black cape, black boots, white shirt, Fairytale costume where he looks like the Mad Hatter, his pirate outfit is a Viking-like costume Rokurou's Legacy haircut has slightly shorter bangs in the front covering his right eye, Pirate gives him a long, spiky mullet, he gets a Jacketless outfit, color variant with gray clothes, hot spring, serving, swimwear, winter clothes, Ludger's outfit from Xillia 2 for Legacy, and he was wearing his Pirate outfit in Update II. Velvet's unique haircuts are hat style and villager style (with the long ponytail), her Menagerie style gives her a very long ponytail that goes to her knees, her legacy style is also a very long ponytail, her Rin Shibuya haircut is long, flowing black hair (much like her regular but a lot less messy), Fairytale style gives her another long ponnytail that's tied up in a couple places, Japon style gives her twintails, and another long ponytail that's bushier than the previous. As for her costumes, she gets jacketless, color variant (blue undershirt and coat), Villager clothes, Prisoner clothes (ripped-up version of Villager), Hot Spring, Serving, Swimwear, a blue menagerie outfit, her Legacy outfit is Rutee from Tales of Destiny, Rin Shibuya, Fairytale outfit that makes her look like Alice, Japon clothes that gives her a ninja getup, and Pirate outfit that looks like a cool pirate queen. I won't be coy and pretend I don't know who the final two party members are, Magilou and Eleanor, but I won't add them to this post until they officially join the roster. I'll be linking this post in the OP so everyone I choose knows exactly what they're choosing. Not only the outfits, but also the positioning / color of accessories are also at your discretion. If you specify nothing, I will assume you want the Default option. Falconier, why don't you start us off? Sylphid fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Oct 26, 2021 |
