Review: Tales of Zestiria - One of the best in the franchise - Gaming Boulevard

Gaming Boulevard wrote:

Tales of Zestiria is a great JRPG with an interesting plot, great characters and interesting combat. It’s a shame the technologic issues stand in the way of true greatness, including the lack of beauty in the environment. Zestiria can be considered one of the best in the Tales franchise however. It offers an epic experience thanks to the anime approach and might be one of the first to attract a bigger audience in the West. If you’re looking for a great new JRPG, this is one you need to consider getting.

Can't wait! I have enjoyed almost all of the Tales series. IMO the Tales series have overtook the king of JRPG crown previously held by Final Fantasy.

Love the anime look, the stories that don't take themselves too series (easy to follow) and just the overall old school jrpg type of exploration mixed with the new school battle system that seems like a natural progression from Secret of Mana and other action JRPG's.

Nah.
Symphonia 1-2, Abyss and Vesperia are the only I played so far.

I missed so many chances of getting Xillia.

But to say this is one of the best is extremely bold.

Spotie3483d ago

If you haven't played it, how can you say?

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3483d ago (Edited 3483d ago )

I said before. It look very bland outside battle and characters.
The fact that they went with a somewhat open world.

Kenshin_BATT0USAI3482d ago

In other words...you didn't play it and you're basing this off of what you've seen alone. You're full of it, gotcha.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3482d ago

so tell me what so amazing about it?

Tell me something Zestiria is doing that the past Tales games didn't that is bringing elements to the franchise.

Kenshin_BATT0USAI3482d ago

I didn't claim any of that. But I certainly didn't claim it was bad either.

ErogeMaster3483d ago

Fuck dont tell me you're going to be raising ability proficiencies in this game like the last xilia games cause that shit is going to be killer and take too much time on the grinding level.

The Tales Of series are some of the best RPGs I've ever played, and the characters are a big reason for that. I don't think I played a single game in the series that I didn't enjoy. Rest in peace.

Damn, that sucks to hear... His designs were always wonderful.

H9410d ago

RIP, sheade some great designs, man it's one after the other this year

FinalFantasyFanatic409d ago

We're 3 months into the year and I feel like we're taking nothing but L's.

autobotdan410d ago

Wow she was the character designer for Tales of Destiny one of my favorites of all time =(

scorpio_2049410d ago

I love the Tales games. Phantasia will always be my favorite. Ironically I felt like as the series progressed the character design became too “anime cliche.”

Dragon's Dogma and XCOM 2 are the best deals. The rest of the games are still overpriced. I would say 8.99 is good for AC: Origins, but you need to put $10 more into MTs to avoid the grind that slows down the story. So, the game is actually 18.99.

It's not on this list, but Pathfinder: Kingmaker is only $9.99. This is a deal if you have a current gen. consoles, as it runs poorly on prev. gen.

hangdang1059d ago

I beat AC origins without grinding or spending any money on MTX?

anast1058d ago

I had to grind for side missions. So, did many other people.

HeliosHex1059d ago

Has anyone been able to login in to the ps store on ps5 I haven't been able to in days and my network is good.

RedDevils1058d ago

Reset or shutdown your PS5. I always can go login to PS5, in fact just a moment ago.

HeliosHex1058d ago

Ok thanks I'll try that

HeliosHex1058d ago

Hey thanks again. Although the shutdown/reset didn't work i found that resetting the mdm and hub did the trick. I use a Lan network instead of wifi. In case anyone has a similar setup and problem.

RedDevils1057d ago

I forgot to mention about the router reset, that usually do the trick when it come to network problems happen with iphone/android. btw np

It’s really it’s own story , but like anything takes some inspirations from other sources, fantastic game so far, you absolutely don’t need to have played other tales games at all to enjoy this to its fullest.
