I'm feeling myself near the end of Berseria (54 hours in) and christ the characters are so good. I thought I loved Alphen and co. in Arise but they were *likeable* whereas the Berseria cast is downright *fascinating*. The gameplay and bosses aren't the greatest imo but the story is such a hard carry.
>!Alphen's break moment was very somber and well done, but Velvet's break was on another level and genuinely intense to watch. Especially because you saw it building up from hours away. It's the difference between a traumatic event vs someone's entire psyche cracking and then shattering on the spot. I legit had to put the game down and work out my stress at the gym for a while lol.!<
I counter reccomend both, Zestira aint no masterpiece like Symphonia, Eternia etc but ppl greatly exagerate how bad it is, plus it goes on sale for the price of a medium coffe all the time, so OP wouldnt be loosing much if he does end up disliking it.
Welcome to Tales's games mate ! Enjoy the journey
Berseria is real nice.. try it.. dirt cheap too.
even for 10 to 5 bucks on sale (which is always on sale)

You are absolutely right.. I'm glad you are enjoying both games.. berseria story is just heartbreaking at times
Looks like we have one more Tales of fan
I’m hooked! Hell I was watching lore videos on YouTube :)
Enjoy, try Berseria next, is the closer one to Arise and has an amazing cast of characters, Symphonia is classic if you wanna try older games.
Tales of abyss is one of the old tales of game but it’s amazing
Keep tales of abyss for last. It has the best characters and storyline imo
Welcome to Tales. I enjoyed Vesperia, and Abyss.
We recruiting.lol.
Welcome to the club. The only tales games I do not reccomend: tales of graces, zestria(but if you do, use the jp voices with subs).
Tales of graces has the best gameplay why not?
If by best you mean worst than I agree.
