Tales of Zestiria is a weak game, and not just due to the infamous Alisha debacle. The story of the games is so. I seen more people saying 'what are the battle controls supposed to be. I'd say play Vesperia first. Laphicet (ライフィセット, Raifisetto?) is the deuteragonist in Tales of Berseria and minor character in Tales of Zestiria. “Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality”. 3. Zestiria is both beginning and end of Age of Chaos. Zestiria would have done much better then. It is the fifteenth main entry in the Tales series, developed by Bandai Namco Studios and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. I’ve played a lot of JRPGs of a variety of types, but I’ve never played or looked into any of the Tales games. Yeah so I’ve heard. Otherwise watch the anime, but be aware it probably won't be ending until sometime during mid to late 2017 at the earliest. He is continuously journeying in search of hellions to hunt. I never got around to playing my copy of Zestiria by the time Berseria was released. Best thing would be normalised stats so that no weapon is objectively better than the rest and the only thing that would differentiate them would be the distribution of stats and what skills are on them.
