ales of Zestiria takes place on a fictional continent named Glenwood. Glenwood is set in the middle of an ocean-dominated world, sharing its setting with Tales of Berseria, the latter being set in the distant past of Zestiria‘s world. Glenwood is divided between two warring countries: the Hyland Kingdom, which is ruled by a constitutional monarchy, and the Rolance Empire. Existing independently are multiple Guilds, who readily profit from the conflict and encompass multiple professions from transportation to goods manufacture to assassination. Throughout the land, an impurity known as “malevolence” generated by the negative emotions of humanity periodically transforms the living, the dead and even inanimate objects into monsters called the Hellion, who pose a threat to the world. Along with humans, one of the main races of the world is the Seraphim, supernatural humanoids and animals who can only interact with humans with sufficient resonance in them. Though once an abundant people in Glenwood, the Seraphim have become scarce. The people of the world call those who interact with the Seraphim “Shepherds”, and they are both hailed as saviors and feared because of their power. The Shepherds have frequently appeared during times of crisis, and have entered into common folklore along with the Seraphim. Seraphim can also form contracts between themselves, with one dominant figure called a “Prime Lord” and a number of partners called “Sub Lords” who act as supports for them. The game tells the story of the Shepherds during the “Era of Chaos”, when the Hellion are running rampant across Glenwood, attacking both the countryside and cities. Dragons play an important role in both the world lore and main story arc, but do not follow their traditional representation as beings of good and evil or symbolic creatures; rather, they are actually Seraphim who are corrupted by [the aforementioned] malevolence.
Tales of Zestiria Review
The story isn’t that great compared to the great JRPG’s of the 90′, the graphics aren’t that great compared to modern PS3 games, and the battle mechanics are so complicated that even after finishing the game and the DLC I couldn’t understand and use all of them.
The game stuffs so many cluttered and useless information at you from the first moment you start playing, about strategies and customizing and so many other things, that I almost stopped playing. The characters aren’t that interesting compared to other Tales of… games (except Edna, she’s great), the expansions cost so freaking much that it’s a joke, and the music isn’t that good. Basically, it’s just an average game.
I drop games a LOT. I get bored really easily, and when I look back at it, I didn’t enjoy this game even half of what I enjoyed Tales of Symphonia on the Game Cube, or even Tales of Phantasia on the SNES, both games that I cannot play today because of how aged they are. But for some reason I just couldn’t stop playing.
Maybe it was a dry time, maybe I did enjoy. The thing is, I wanted to play, and it didn’t feel bad. Really, I can’t explain why. Maybe this is one of those rough diamonds that are covered with dirt, but deep inside, who knows, it might be pretty good (except for the Alisha Story DLC, that is really bad and you should just watch it on Youtube).
If you like JRPG’s, try it when it’s on discount.
