The only time they'll ever interact with each other is if they made a whole different game with them all in the same universe. By the way, Berseria and Zestiria are sort of related. The story is much more dark than any prior entry into the series, and the gameplay is faster and more frenetic than ever before. Those receptive to Innominat's power are capable of being transformed into therions. Before you buy Tales of Zestiria, please check the. In terms of start points, Tales of Berseria is an interesting option. 2) Also think Zestiria is better than all of the other Tales games. #3. I was pretty disappointed, because I've seen some people say. The Zestiria world guidance mentioned the Death Age of 200 years before Zestiria’s setting, and it was mentioned that the continent was isolated and stopped all communications with the other lands during a plague. Blatantly spoils important plot points in Berseria, so definitely don't watch the anime if you ever plan on playing Berseria for story.
