Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Definitely looks like the anime version of people I went to high school/college with (only with crazy pigtails added)I call her Scumbag Magilou

Everytime Velvet screams Artorius, I'm going to get you! It reminds me of this scene from a classic 90's cartoon.

So is it alright if go ahead and finish the final dungeon now and do the side quests later, or does the game reset after I beat the final dungeon?

You're getting there. I think you have a couple dungeons left to go.

It was like nails on a chalkboard to me at first, but it grew on me eventually.

I'm so glad I gave this a chance.
The series got so stale for me and after Zestiria I swore that I'll buy Berseria for a very low price if at all. I'm glad I listened to the positive buzz since I played 6h today and the story really sucked me in. The characters have a cool chemistry and are actually funny, they make me chuckle a lot.
My only gripe apart from Velvet's outfit is that they should really ditch the Xillia-framework for the next game. At this point the games feel way to same-y from a gameplay perspective. It's hard for these newer Tales games to develop an artistic identity if they basically always look the same. Berseria's textures are a bit more polished though.
Please tell me: does the game drop the ball in the last act? That's what Tales games always do, especially Zestiria. Hate it.

I've said I'm a huge Tales fan before, but I skipped Zestiria too after feeling a bit meh from Xillia and Hearts (feels like I missed something about Hearts since quite a few people here seemed to like it), guess I was feeling a bit like you in this regard. Was almost going to skip this game, too, but I dunno something just made me really interested in it at the last minute and I preordered it the week before it came out haha. So glad I ended up buying it. I agree with a lot of your sentiment about the series as a whole though and that's probably why I'm so excited to see what a fully next gen engine will do for the series as far as aesthetic and design. I don't think I would feel this way if Berseria wasn't so good.
As for the last act in this game, I feel it pretty much held on to the very end, I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't flop like most of the series does (I think only Abyss did the last act better, and it was certainly better than Vesperia's 3rd act story-wise). It was the first time in awhile I've played an RPG that I didn't want to end when I got there lol.
Where are Topaz weapons normally dropped? I need some Topaz fragments to upgrade gear ;_;
Is it in the final dungeon?
Also sidequest spoiler for late-game.

I just completed Zaveid's sidequest. I haven't played Zestiria but I know that you can fight Eizen as a dragon in it. Makes sense that Zaveid is in that game and tries to kill him, especially after this scene. It all makes sense. Did Eizen never meet Edna again before he became a dragon?

Most of the topaz equipment starts dropping in the 2nd to last story dungeon. There are a couple pieces in the last dungeon, as well as one of the areas only really farmable after opening sidequests in this final stage of the game. Not sure what stage the fragments start popping up as random collectibles on the ground, but probably in the last dungeon(s) as well.
Dat feel when you get a ton of grade
Wow, that's pretty amazing. I barely get more than 10 grade per battle, I need to step up.

I probably should have played on a harder difficulty because I haven't bothered upgrading my equipment a single time and the game is so easy. That said, there are too many games popping out right now so I don't really want a challenge, I just want to enjoy the story and try to beat it fairly soon so I can look at Horizon. Unless it's super easy to get all the upgrade mats, I don't see a point in upgrading when I'm constantly swapping equipment to learn new attributes/abilities but considering there's a number of mats on the map I'm maxed on, probably is easy to get them haha
What do you get for opening all the katz chests? At first I was always able to earn enough in time before a new chest but eventually they hiked up too high and there's a couple or so I had to skip. Hope it's nothing important as I'd have to really think back to which ones I missed and some might be a pain to get back to.

I'm currently farming Topaz and Quartz in the C4 Armored Quarter. Load up on equipment drop multipliers via titles and gear, and finish off the last enemy with a MA to maximize gains. The recipe Berserkers palmier also increases drop rate. It takes me about 3 minutes per run on simple. The rings you get from there can also be dismantled for Topaz as well.

It was a combination of playing on hard, grabbing like 4 enemy groups together, and then the dire mob appearing.
I just got to Reneed, about to head into the Warg Forest for an herb to heal the scourge.

As far as missing some. They are cumalitive, and every other one you get something and every other you don't.
1. 1st item
2. Nothing
3. 2nd item
4. Nothing
5. 3rd Item
So even if you skip a couple, the one you open later will just add to this as the next numbered one you opened.

Am I the only one that put the retangulal glasses on Elenor? They are a perfect match.

That was the first and only Code Red that wiped me. Was more caught off guard by the heavy magic spam lol.
A lot of his spells nearly one-shotted me. I decided to use a whole bunch of herbs to up Velvet's arte defense after that battle.
What does this mean? Sounds useful.

Is that Menagerie part of a DLC outfit?

Hey guys, I need some help with the endgame stuff. I'm doing the
. I didn't get a trophy yet so I'm assuming the quest isn't over.
Eizen sidequest, and I'm not sure what to do after the battle with Zaveid near Meirchio
First things first, not sure if this is related but I think at this point an extra "!" event gets unlocked at the church in Meirchio so be sure to check that out, gives some good background info on a certain character in your party.
As for the Zaveid quest, go to Reneed and talk to the Bloodwing there. The rest will make sense after that.

Got it, thanks. I was a bit surprised by how many sidequests popped up all at the same time.

I felt like I more or less understood everything after finishing the game, barring a few questions left lingering. Some are answered a little postgame.
What is it you are confused about?

You can as long as the members involved are in the required positions (battle party/reserve)
Ahh, I think I'm at the last save point in the game. Gonna watch the Oscars and finish this after.
I only have 9 life bottles left though...was hoping there would be a turtlez salesman around ;_; Guess I have to also rely on Eleanor and Eizen resurrections.
The final dungeon has the best dungeon music in the whole game by the way, good way to end it.

I'm pretty darn sure that I'm extremely close to finishing the game and should beat it in my next play session. Before I do, I wanted to ask if there are alternate endings? Just want to make sure there wasn't a side quest I had to complete to earn a good ending or anything like that.
It's a ways in so might be a spoiler for you. Lets just say it's a point in the plot where you're collecting something.
Oh I understand that part, I was wondering if you get anything for finding all of them besides possibly a trophy but it looks like you don't. Thanks though.
