I like that they kept the incantation kinda close to Jade's ☺️

How is berseria a weak entry 💀

​@@AeonianBloom i think because the story is really strong, but the gameplay is kinda weak compared to tales of xillia 2 and 1.

There is a small selection compared to other Tales, but that's because Berseria and Zesteria focused on the A Artes style system of Graces. Combo oriented. It makes the battle feel more fast paced, and the fact that casters don't just have spells and have martial artes too dents spells but makes the character a better character to play.

Wait, didn't they basically recycle the same arte over and over? I found mystic arte in tales of zestiria much more flashy tho compared to berseria

@@manikaditha6308 The Tales series always has recycled artes and returning artes. Void Mire in Berseria was Negative Gate in Xillia. Violet Storm here was Arreviderci in Xillia. Indignation returned as a mystic arte.

@@MagizardInternet yeah, thats why i dont get how its lack luster. Is older tales games artes really that much different?

​@@manikaditha6308 i'm guessing lack luster in the visuals department, the effects look really simplistic and are over very quickly, it lacks impact compared to other 3d tales like vesperia or even abyss

Or Tales of Vesperia: Rita and the tidal wave spam.

The magic being underwhelming has less to do with cast times and damage numbers. It’s more about flare and dramaticism. Older entries in Tales of felt like a grand moment. Even Spread from Tales of Symphonia somehow feels more important than Insubstantiality, even though Insub is a more powerful spell. Why is that?

@@CeruleanAether Aye, I See what you mean. Though I think the devs made spells in Berseria/Zestiria not have as much flare as compared to other games because they wanted to make the games’ combat snappier/quicker, since in older games, especially Symphonia for instance, because spells were so bombastic, fights would take longer by comparison. In my opinion though, I don’t think the less dramatized spells take away from the games all that much, I still enjoy the combat regardless.

@@CeruleanAether It's because you will generally be trying to combo then into each other rapidly, so you don't want to make them so long as to not combo well, so massive that you're taking out huge swaths of the battlefield, or so flashy that a chain of them would give you seizures and melt your PS3/PS4. That said, part of the issue is probably due to the size of the models, how close the camera is, and Berseria probably bring a bit lower in budget than some of its predecessors so it's less flashy overall. Tales of Graces f had smaller models, a wonder angle dinners, and was a massively upgraded remaster/remake of a Wii game, so it was able to use a similar battle system to create much more flashy spell effects without straining the system so much.

@@nek022 to be fair she don’t learn tidal wave till later & her low defense & iffy physical Artes balance her out. Not to mention how some enemies resist water and even can heal from water-based artes.

Really? I don't think this has anything on Rita's Indignation.

Since Graces it looks like they dumbed down magic. Ugh

@@lewisjones9889 She's number 2, so duh.

What do you mean the casters in both were amazing

One of the towns (i forget which one) you can talk to a Katz and, they give you the option of playing the "Slash Beat" mini-game where you can fight the training dummy

Steven Jeltsch Swirling Black Quagmire, No escape!

Damn the tongue twister take a while to pronunce.

Also, I'm gonna just say it, Void Mire is just Negative Gate from Tales of Xillia/Xillia2

Everyone has healing artes except Velvet and Rokurou.

There's no such a healer role in here in ToZ or ToB tbh, Even if they have healing arte, they would be a seraphim/malak. But I think estelle from Tales of vesperia is a healer lol, i felt my party easily get wiped out when she got kidnapped.

Phi is not a healer

I think he might be the weakest among the main characters. He's not bad per say, and he conveys very well the character's innocence and naiveté, but the voice actor is a little less credible when it comes to demonstrate resolve. Ultimately though, I think the main 'flaw' of Laphicet's english voice is to be surrounded by an incredible casting.

I am neither but it's honestly better than his JPN va tbh. It doesn't fit him at all, he sounds like a grown woman...

​@@Talyrion I say it's more of a direction thing.

Its crAzy hes even able to use artes of such level

more like they don't flood players with a bunch of useless artes
