In TALES OF BERSERIA, players embark on a journey of self-discovery as they assume the role of Velvet, a young woman whose once kind demeanor has been replaced and overcome with a festering anger and hatred after a traumatic experience three years prior to the events within TALES OF BERSERIA. Velvet will join a crew of pirates as they sail across the sea and visit the many islands that make up the sacred kingdom of Midgand in an all-new adventure developed by the celebrated team behind the TALES OF series. Veteran TALES OF character designer Mutsumi Inomata has personally designed Velvet and famous Japanese animation studio, ufotable, returns to animate the game’s breathtaking cutscenes; delivering truly epic and emotional storytelling in their unique style.
This game bases on the previous Tales of Zestiria, and improves on every aspect. The battle system is great and fluid and the characters are pretty likeable
a truly fascinating journey. gameplay-wise it's got some great new features, while staying true to old tales of-roots at the same time. the much more action-oriented combat turned out to be wonderfuld. and the whole experience is an emotional roalercoaster. wonderfully written with a fantastic soundtrack by motoi sakuraba - although this is not everyones cup of tea. on a side-note: being a prequel to the last game in the series - tales of zestiria - it pretty much fixes all the problems i had with this game - including its poor, abrupt story-explanations. knowledge about zestirias story, however, is not needed. for me this is the best tales of-game since abyss. haven't been this involved in videogame-characters for a long time. outstanding!
