Is this game hard to platinum? How many playthroughs and missables?
I have Hearts too on Vita. Which should I play first?

This is a much better game than Hearts. I can say that with confidence even if I haven't finished it.
Tales games have standalone stories not particularly connected to other games in the series. Xillia 2 and Symphonia: DotNW aside. Hearts has a more accessible and easier to understand battle system and better sub-systems but so far I would say Zestiria is better.

Wow, dungeons start to get interesting and convoluted after 12-14 hours

Nothing about SLI, sadly.
Why would you need it? The game runs ungodly well. 5k+ only uses around half my 980.
Try experimenting with different known SLI flags.

Man, putting those chibi figures is a pain in the ass, they barely hold onto their weapons. Tempted to super glue them on, maybe later tho I finally got them up.
Now time to watch Dawn of the Shepard.

I LOVE the double voice artes shouts in armatize mode, especially if Sorey fuses with a female seraph.
It's cool and so JRPG.

Be sure to use the commands to tell them to be defensive
That boss gave me a hard time until I tried armonizing with Edna immediately and taking out all the little guys first while commanding my allies to defend.
I was about to mention this. It's a little thing but to me it makes the link artes in Xillia and armatized attacks in this game so much cooler.
OPEN THE FLOODGATES!
AZURE ASSAULT!
ELIXIR VITAE!
Almost makes me want to say it in sync with them too. lol

The story is surprisingly pulling me in, but the bad camera and HUGE boring environments almost makes me want to stop playing it. It's only been two hours so far, so it should get better.

Came here to ask about impressions and the level up system and got spoiled already by something unmarked. Thanks.
I don't have a ton of love for the Tales soundtracks released within the last...decade or so, but I genuinely like Zestiria's OST quite a bit. The composers involved mostly created some good tracks.
Overall Tales music has actually been on the upswing since Xillia, so I hope Sakuraba and anyone else they bring in as co-composer(s) can match or top this for Berseria.

IT'S MORPHIN TIME
I'm kidding
I'm very early in the game...but I like Lailah and always laugh when she tries to "play dumb" and not give them any info
(I also got the original opening cinematic on PC now...had to find the file and replace the instrumental one)
I'm going to tag this just in case, butso far I have not gotten Gramps' pip back - you do get a cowboy hat attachment, though. ¯\_(ツ
That...sounds worth it. I imagine
the knife might be the only one you get back considering you actually need it.
Probably won't get to play again for the next couple days, but I think the thread has mostly touched up on the weird things I found in the game - the weird stop-motion animations on far away enemies, the dub voice acting sounding like they're not even talking to each other (it's gotten better, from what I can tell), and the fuuuucking terrible battle camera when you get stuck in a corner. The Shiina tracks are also pretty great when they show up. I wish Sakuraba could have gotten some more freedom in his tracks, but it's not like they're offensively generic either.
Some graphics things I'm wondering about: the grass textures kind of seem like they're moving or sparkling or something when I'm moving around. Also, everyone's faces in zoom kind of seem like they've got some kind of white glow coming from it (not really sure how to describe this, it's some kind of transparent edge I guess? Maybe I could screencap it at some point, I can't see it on any of the screenshots online). Can someone explain these?
So I managed to get SLI working I guess(at least it scales real well in the very start). Gonna play around in the game, see if I notice any issues. Will post the method if all is well.

Yeah just ended up locking the boss down with Edna artmization grapple combo.

Yeah, there's some weirdness with displaying over a certain amount of saves. You can only scroll back so far, yet the save listed in the first slot will be your oldest save (which you can't scroll down to otherwise once you go over that limit).
It's odd.

Lol yeah, kinda similar to Xilia link artes, and that's why I'm loving it in Zestiria.
Lailah is a good character, she's wise and silly at the same time. Alisha is your regular sweet JRPG heroine. I haven't met Edna though, I heard she's kinda the best character in this game.
Yeah, save slots are kinda messed up. I always get 2 same save slots after saving. And I have several quick save slots right now.
Hmm..
You don't need to sell anything if you dont want to
You can just
show the knife to the guard, and he will let you pass

bumping if anybody got an answer
You have to buy it back later if you want some optional cutscenes, or so I hear. Depends on what the cowboy hat is worth to you?
I gave up after a few minutes and just threw the pieces back in the box...lol

Absolutely perfect.
I didn't sell it to Rose but 1000 gald would've been nice.
Also I smiled at Shaorune Inn. Nice shoutout to Tales of Rebirth.
Anyone figure out how to make Mikleo only stay back and cast his offensive spell?

Got my Amazon copy today!
When White Light started playing I got super excited. I can already tell this is gonna be one of my favorite Tales games despite the flaws.

Wow. If only I knew that before. At least there's a way to get the
pipe
13 hours in, and I still have mixed feelings. Any fight that takes place inside a corridor is a unfun clusterfuck. The actual combat is kinda clunky feeling. The skill system is very confusing, the most confusing skill/leveling system I've seen in a Tales game. It's like they took the combat and leveling system from Graces and decided to make them worse. The story and characters are just okay, they're not offensive, yet no one other than Edna feels memorable. Hopefully it gets better the game is starting to feel like a drag.
I thought Vesperia's was much, much better than Graces, Xillia and Xillia 2.
From what I've heard from Zestiria though, it's a huge step up from all of these!
I'm getting a new skit at a save point after practically every other story cutscene. Also, staying at inns often triggers one.

I agree with this. And speaking of music I was really pumped to hear a remix of
the Giganto theme from Vesperia

Ugh, I hope I knew that before too.
Well, at least I can still get it later though.
Yeah, most skits can only be triggered at save points or after certain cutscenes.
