How excited are you about Tales of Zestiria? Sadly I haven’t played any Tales games… It’s on my very long “someday I will play all of these” list. I’m a big RPG nut who considers Japanese Role-Playing Games to be amongst his favorite genres, so these type of games always catch my attention.

I’ve never played a game in the Tales series but I’ve always wanted too. Previous themes for the Tales games included Justice & Faith.īecause this latest game celebrates the 20th anniversary of the series, longtime fans can look forward to lots of references and throwbacks to elements from previous games that they will recognize, including going all the way back to the original Tales of Phantasia to drive that point home. Dragons also return to the world of Tales with this entry. The game was named after the word “Zest” as another description for “Passion”, which is one of the game’s main themes. They will also be fully voiced as in Tales of Xillia & Tales of Graces F, and the English versions may include the Japanese vocal track as fanservice ala Tales of Symphonia Chronicles (PS3). Skits between characters will also return, and feature both comical scenes & dramatic scenes to add extra disposition & character development.

Whereas previous games were extremely linear, with producer Hideo Baba describing their world layout as that of “moving along a highway”, this new game will attempt to have an open-world setting, or at least something much closer to it.
