Made me laugh hahahaha! And will get a new MA on the PS4 version.
I now understand the reason
for having two wind tenzokus
I just don't really dig Rose's character design. Her color scheme reminds me of Rita Mordio and I always think she's a ripoff of her. They should've just given her that cameo costumes LOL.
I'm happily anxious about the cameo battle in the arena.

Any impressions so far on the game overall level design?
Imo it was one of the worst aspect in both Xillias, terribly empty repetitive outdoor zones and uninspired "dungeons".
Any improvements?

so she'll be in the expanded PS4 port as a fully playable character?
that will never come to the west?

I think it's true....
Well, this time may be different.
Install base is bigger in the west and there's no MS thingy.

But the multiplayer camera on the other hand...

Then again, I think the person was just fooling around. You can adjust the camera axis a bit, so maybe it's not as horrible as the video makes it to be.
I just noticed the casting special effect in Zestiria is just the Guardian Field/Psychic Restoration special effect from Xillia.
For reference.
OK now that more info on Zaveid has come to light, it's time for retribution.
It appears that Zaveid

So that's a month-long avatar change.
Here you go kayos, return of loli-chan. No hard feelings.
It appears that Zaveid
is a permanent member by end-game and is not an end-game villain

RIP Tales multiplayer. Somehow they managed to get back to the state 3D multiplayer was in back in Symphonia GC, only even more annoying...

Was just checking out the OP and I saw this

Evangelion - January 22, 463 Yen per character (Lailah, Alisha, Sorey, Rose, Edna)
Shit man I need this DLC for the west. Too bad there's no chance in hell.

And I was hoping back in the Symphonia days that we'd eventually get a VS feature (think Star Ocean 3) as a bonus arena or something.
Like imagine a console Radiant Mythology game with VS.Bleh.
Also lol, I forgot about that avatar bet.
Fields are huge, but a common complaint seems to be that it feels like objects of note are wide apart, leading to the feeling that it's just space to travel. However, they did try to include more individualistic things on the open fields like landmarks, or a burnt out village, and so on.
Dungeons are also pretty huge and include puzzles, so it's not just running through a space full of monsters. One of the dungeons used vertical space in a simple way for puzzling, which was nice. Of course, it helps that Go Shiina's doing the dungeon music.
There's no doubt some areas will feel reminiscent of Xillia's boxy field design, but there's enough variation between the area/level designs that it's not bad to have that mixed in as well.
Wow. So my skeptical self could be right and they've pulled a
Damn.
If they're doing a PS4 version, I think this will actually come. I don't think Bamco wants to repeat Vesperia's problem, especially since the game is probably not going to do very good numbers if it's a PS3 only entry.
They may record the PS4 exclusive lines at the same time as the PS3 game so they don't have many problems. Or do the same they did in Symphonia HD Collection. Dual audio with English dub for the stuff in the GC version and JP dub for the PS2 version.
Flynn with Alisha?
Damn.

I'm not changing shit cuz I'm so mad right now.
Don't be a sore loser now
Anyway sorry, but I don't think the conclusion was that hard to glean. If you've looked at a lot of the recent media,
Zaveid constantly appears with the party. It was becoming pretty obvious he was playable
Kratos/Zelos situation with Dezel/Zaveid
he was bound to be permanent or you'd get a choice to make him permanent with two Wind Tenzokus available
If you tried not to think about it too much...well again sorry. I don't think it's that big of a spoiler though. I'm trying to avoid almost everything myself.
I think he just needed to grind instead of failing the same fight 15 times. or to find the actual strategy (?) for the boss.
Combat specifics are probably best left to people who are playing and not just watching streams. The only obvious aspect in that regard is that in tight spaces, the camera becomes difficult. From looks, system is more Graces than Xillia.
Kayos will probably have a stroke if we talk more about the story. For characters, I guess you can say Sorey is a decent fellow. The other characters aren't particularly offensive (for now lol).
It seems like when you wipe out, there isn't an option to just retry battle. You have to load from save?
I'm fine with story stuff. Just spoiler tag the stuff. People should know better.

I assume it's the shipping that was crazy expensive.

In other news,
Zestiria weekend engage~
Notice that it's the JP version. You don't want to know how much it cost to make this happen. (._. )
Congrats! I recall the saga of a a few pages back.
Looking forward to hearing your opinion(s) on the game.
Starting to think most party limitations are designed to work around hardware limitations, e.g. Sorey you control and the second human that visibly tags along while exploring, the rest of the party is Tenzokus that always fold into Sorey. On a current gen system they could probably go full out MMO with the engine if they wanted.
As for the battle camera issues in tight spaces it's kinda odd that they didn't tackle it in any way. Past 3D Tales games already did a fine job making objects between PC and camera translucent, extending that to the environment should be the obvious next step. Probably also a hardware limitation that was too much work to work around... But forgetting other players in multiplayer is inexcusable, whatever the camera setting.

What's the circle dance called you're doing right now? =D
Same here!
I dunno, separate spoiler thread or not my stance on all spoilers being tagged hasn't changed.
Completely different from saying to someone very specifically "hey hey, come here and look, look at this spoiler I won our avatar bet lol!"

I'd like to know what kind of devilry you pulled to hasten those shipping times. Could prove useful in the future.
Unless all you did was pay for another copy :V
...There are DLC skits?
C'mon, son.
Yes, I ordered from somewhere else with express shipping. But it would've gotten here at exactly the same time had I not gotten tricked into FedEx Economy shipping from P-A rather than the regular FedEx.
So I'd say if you want something this fast, normally all you'd do is order from Play-Asia and choose the regular FedEx shipping option.

I know I know, and fully agree wrt this case. Just found it funny to see the variety of output you had on this topic within the last 24h.
Aren't they free? I thought that may be a rather good idea preventing at least some players from selling their completed copies again right away.

I won't stay long in this thread due to spoilers, but when someone completes this game, please tell me how many in game costumes there are, or if they are all going to be DLC?

Well I mean Graces had them so wouldn't be surprising this game to have them!
I think having one person run after you is probably the best they can do because of the environment. While you're running around on the field there's actually quite a good deal of pop in bushes/rocks, same goes for npc.
I guess we wouldn't know what they can ease up on unless/until they port up to PS4.

Still waiting for the tales game that comes with a credit card swipe attachment in the case.
I've been watching some streams out of curiosity. To be honest, I think the game is perfectly fine graphically. Of course Twitch is probably the worst way to judge this but it definitely doesn't look like a PS2 game or significantly worse than Tales of Vesperia in my mind.
More importantly, animation and transitions between different animations are notably better than past Tales games. Cutscene direction also seems much better, at least for major cutscenes.
The OST is a lot better than past Tales games where Sakuraba basically phones it in.
So all things considered, this actually looks like a solid effort from Namco. Dunno why people are so damn bitter about this game.

The version of Graces I played (Wii) didn't have them, I don't think.
Still haven't gotten to Graces F since I played it through on Wii two times already.

Well I mean these DLC skits are free though.
Oh yeah, probably not on the Wii version. They were for Graces F and it was mostly fun stuff like about Christmas or 47 Ronin.
Damn bitter? Who? Where? Discussing details they neglected does not equal being bitter about the whole game.

Oh I didn't mean here, people here are generally realistic about their complaints. Literally everywhere else is an absolute salt mine and I find it hilarious and confusing at the same time.

I'm more hyped for this than both Xilla 1 and 2.
Oh that, right. Well, in that regard it's Tales for better or worse. Tales just completely clashes with common expectations (graphics!) for console games.
Yeah, exploration looks to be more fun again.
