    Tales of Zestiria is a profound disappointment, and does not deserve the time investment that huge games of this length require.

    This Game is unbelievable. I can    I am from Europe, so i got the game last Friday, and i really cant understand these few Hate-Comments.
    This Game is unbelievable. I can really recommend it to everyone who likes any sort of JRPG, and to new PLayers of the Genre.
    The Open World is fantastic, the graphics are a little bit outdated, but thats no reason to miss this game.
    The Main Reason to buy this game should be Gameplay, Story and the excellent Characters.
    10/10 Awesome game, really.    … Full Review »

    Zestiria feels like a step forward for the tales franchise.
    Smooth transitions into combat and cutscenes and it feels like theres barely Any black/loading screens present in the ps4 version.
    The combat is taken straight from Graces,which is a good thing because that is one of the best systems in the Tales series. Graphics look awesome, the world looks alive, the soundtrack is fantastic.
    Please dont get dissapointed by negative reviews. try it out. its worth it!    … Full Review »

The story is charming and has a lot of flavour, with throwbacks to the King Arthur legends and interesting ideas like the invisible Seraphims that accompany the main character coupled with charming dialogues and funny skits. The world feels vast and great to explore, yet it is never a chore like in other opern world games. The battles are probably the best in any Tales game, keeping Graces f's flair and adding unique concepts like armitization, with a great loot system to tinker with. Zestiria also has dual audio, something I wish happened with all other Tales games before, even if the English dub is rock solid. Overall one heck of a purchase, I bet other fans of the genre will feel the same if they give the game a chance. I'm already waiting for Berseria to be localized.… Full Review »
