    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Сколько же негативных эмоций в свое время вызвало у меня это творение бурятского народа...
    Все по пунктам:
    - Боевая система. Это пиздец, товарищи. Дрочильня пары кнопок, а бои могли быть на десять минут и дольше. Тупое нажимание пары клавиш могло быть сложным и иногда можно было перепроходить одно и то же место по несколько раз... Это как?
    - Дизайн локаций. Хм, что можно сказать о куче пустого пространства с двумя-тремя кустами и кучей вечно агрящихся мобов? Конечно, с городами все намного лучше, но все нпс бездвижно стоят по стойке смирно, что создает не дает даже задуматься о каком-то погружении в атмосферу.
    - Сюжет. Главный герой избранный, что идет убивать главного злодея, что хочет погрузить весь мир во тьму. Все. И весь этот полет фантазии приправлен мерзотными персонажами и не знанием азов политики и социологии. Также есть момент, где ты встречаешь Владыку, ебать его в сраку, бедствий, в битве сносишь ему половину хп, он заявляет "присоединяйся ко мне", гг говорит "нет", на что ему "пидора ответ" и "го снова драться", Сорей снова отвечает "нет" и уходит, решив, что он не хочет убивать его здесь и сейчас, потому что дальше ему бы нечем было заняться. 10 из 10.
    - Персонажи. Ох... Главный герой - пустышка, наивный дурачок, что подписался на это путешествие, то ли по дурости, то ли от нехуй делать. К тому же, поражают взаимоотношения между героями. Всем было жалко Алишу, которая не смогла убить предателя родины, человека, который устроил войну. А вот Эдну, которой пришлось убить собственного брата, почему-то не так жалко. А над Миклео, который погиб, будучи ребенком, который видел смерть своих родителей, еще и издевались "че, может, хочешь поплакать?", когда пацан просто охуел от жизни. Лайла и Роза тоже большую часть времени тупо раздражают и ничего более. А смерти Дезела скорее радуешься, ибо в команду приходит Завейд.
    - Само прохождение. Словно долго и мучительно суешь ржавую проволоку в уретру... Я старалась покончить с игрой, как можно быстрее, и все равно прохождение заняло больше 40 часов... Десятки часов пустого хождения туда-сюда, авторы явно тупо хотели максимально растянуть игру. В какой-то момент ты уверен, что близиться конец игры, как вдруг тебе заявляют "отыщи все фрагменты истории, даже если для этого придется прочесать все руины и деревни континента"... И тут ты впадаешь в отчаяние.

    Tales of Zestiria is not a good game!
    - On PC version, camera movement is bad. The resolution has been limited which doesn't has 1080p or higher.
    - Graphics is like PS2 games. Characters face have no motion (it's worse when comparing to Dragon Quest Heroes). All characters have the same GAY FACE. - The game story doesn't make sense. Combat is terrible and poor with inflexible movements.    Tales of Zestiria is not a good game!

    This game commits the greatest cardinal sin of any creation: Blandness. I can't even call it an abomination because it just doesn't have the depth of character to be one. Every character's lines have been entirely unnatural, forced, rehearsed and sound completely fake. The voice acting is entirely sub par even compared to older Tales of games like Symphonia and Vesparia. The story is aThis game commits the greatest cardinal sin of any creation: Blandness.

The voice acting is entirely sub par even compared to older Tales of games like Symphonia and Vesparia. The story is a traditional terrible Japanese anime information dump of pointless names, senseless jargon and utterly meaningless connections that interrupt the flow of battle and story at irritating consistencies. The characters are completely one dimensional with no depth, no intrigue and no development. The character controls are abysmal, especially in battle and there is no hierarchical menu system, just disjointed screens tied to different buttons.

    Nothing about this is good. I can't even say it's bad, because it's just bland with hints of being bad. I dub this game the rotting celery of video games.    … Expand

    HORRIBLE camera controls. There's huge amounts of mouse acceleration, the camera sways like crazy. Almost unusable with m+kb.

    Graphics are ported straight from PS3-era, the graphics options dont matter much. UI is bad, ported straight from the console version as well, doesn't work well at all on PC. Combat is a godawful mess. Here's how combat works: You can only move forwards and    HORRIBLE camera controls. There's huge amounts of mouse acceleration, the camera sways like crazy.

    Combat is a godawful mess. Here's how combat works:

    You can only move forwards and backwards by pressing W or S. You have to only spam the left mouse button, and your character does a basic combo. Thats it.

    I got tired of this crap after the second fight and uninstalled. Yet another horrible console port JRPG, with combat even more simplistic than Dynasty Warriors.

    Do not buy.    … Expand

    Paso 1: Cierra los ojos.
    Paso 2: Pulsa el mismo boton (atacar) una y otra vez.
    Paso 3: Espera hasta que salga el sonido que indica que ganaste la batalla.
    Paso 4: Camina avanzando por los pasillos y repite cada vez que encuentres una batalla.
    Paso 5: Disfruta de haberte terminado el juego.

    I've been trying to like this JRPG because I'm a fan since the '90s so I picked it up again after I dropped and uninstalled this off my PC 2 years ago -- but now I've really lost patience and love for it because of:

    - persistent hand-holding and tutorials (just let me the player figure out the game) - the music is forgettable: I can't    I've been trying to like this JRPG because I'm a fan since the '90s so I picked it up again after I dropped and uninstalled this off my PC 2 years ago -- but now I've really lost patience and love for it because of:

    - persistent hand-holding and tutorials (just let me the player figure out the game)
    - the music is forgettable: I can't even remember how any of its BGM sounds like now after playing for 9 hrs.
    This JRPG is a solid example of making a simple and outdated game design disguised into something sophisticated by placing much too many rules and terms just for the sake of making everything seem the game has depth.

    Heck, Tekken 7 and Soulcalibur 6's battle mechanics are more easier to follow and play than the battle/fighting system of this super otaku (Japanese word for nerd) product. I'm not too sure now if I'll try it again the 3rd time after 2 years.    … Expand

    this game looks like trash. You can look at the starting location of the protagonist, how miserable poor design, NPCs look like soulless dolls, you can feel emptiness and soullessness in this and other locations. As for the plot, it's just disgusting. Story is bunch of nonsense, it's terrile. I couldn't keep playing it

    Tales of Zestiria is not a very welcoming game, and feels too bland at times, but if you’re not a JRPG connoisseur, you’ll probably enjoy it.

    Tales of Zestiria isn’t a blockbuster and it won’t appear as a “Game of the Year” nominee, but if you like JRPGs, you’ll spend about 40 hours in it, and won’t come to regret a single one of them. [Issue#204, p.73]

    Tales of Zestiria is an absolutely fine JRPG for its target audience. However, if you are not accustomed to this particular genre, you will find hardly anything to grab your attention.
