And finished. By far my favourite Tales of game ever. Absolutely loved it.
Fuck Baba.I know, right? Kicking Baba out and trying new things are all for the best
I know that Baba keep giving advice but looks like the new director didn't give a damn. I read on some Japanese sites saying that this is one of Baba's advice for the game. He said thatNot sure if realDon't let Velvet have her revenge
Never knew this was a non-Baba game. Why did he opt out?

7 minutes of the game in English
Random polls at various Japanese sites
From what I've seen:How do the rest stack up? I was under the impression Magilou was most popular. The girls seem way more popular than the guys, for sure. Eizen is the only competitor.
After the huge Zestiria scandal, people realllly hate him now so he has been "promoted". At this rate, I doubt he would be back any time soon.
Notable Baba's bullshits
1)Zestiria's Rose because he likes her VA
2)He hates a certain artist so whatever character that artist designed will suffer in his game
I'm currently playing through it but, haha, fucking baba, classic stand up guy. Always with the moral lessons.I know, right? Kicking Baba out and trying new things are all for the best

Sounds like something I'd hear on 2ch or 4chan.
Rose's height = VA's height
VA's favorite movie : Detective Conan - Assassin in the Eyes - (<- rough title translation)
Alisha's DLC title: What Shows in the Eyes
Which turned out to be Rose, an assassin
VA's motto: I am me
Rose's true name: Rose is Rose
VA's favorite type of guy: A serious person with a rich heart
Famitsu interview, Baba: "The theme of this time's story is the "richness of the heart" that everyone should have"
Baba is called "Prince" by his surroundings
Conan the Barbarian (Eiyuu Conan) -> Prince Conan (Eiyuu is Baba's first name, different pronunciation)
Rose's in-game fiancee was Prince Conan

What about the certain artist ?
Here is a copypasta
They have a wiki for this too. Zestiria's story was a mess because Baba kept changing everything within the last stages of development. Voice's VA had to ended up prostrating herself on stage in apology to Tales of fansYep, definitely sounds like something 2ch put together. Not saying it's not true or whatever (Rose's writing in Zestiria is inconsistent as hell, but so is a lot of the game), just sounds like something I'd hear in a tabloid that you buy at a grocery store.

Real or not. Now that the fans really hate him, he won't becoming back because the game wouldn't sell if he did. Just look how much better Tales of Berseria is without him
Didn't Berseria do worse than Zestiria? Or are we talking about actual quality of the game?
Or the lack of Baba's supervision. I mean, his game sold better after all. Never underestimate corporate stupidity.He means quality, but the decrease in sales can (in part) be explained by the backlash from Zestiria about its quality and other practices.
My first and last "Tales of" was Graces F. Even though I finished it, the MUH FRIENDSHIP theme sucked hard for me and made me lose interest in the saga.
I've heard that Tales of Symphonia is good, but I don't know... Shall I dig in with this one? Does it have an interesting plot?
Or the lack of Baba's supervision. I mean, his game sold better after all. Never underestimate corporate stupidity.
Most interesting plot in the Tales game so far. Darker theme. No muh friendship at all. Minor spoilerYou're playing at the villain who would do ANYTHING to reach your goal

Edit: ... which could mean that Berseria's more than positive reception could boost the series again, analogous to the way Zestiria decreased the sales for Berseria. That's still speculative for the coming years, though.

What? Berseria is doing worse than Zestiria (I assume in Japan)?
I guess with words of mouth it'll eventually outnumber Zestiria. Especially for the English release after these good Japanese version impressions.

Yeah, it still hasn't reached Zestiria first week.

Legendia has the best story and characters IMO. The gameplay sucked true, but story, characters, music, art style are among the best in the franchise.
PS2 era Namco Bandai puts out some of the best Tales really, they're all solid to good to amazing.

Whole Tales PR structure was apparently overhauled after the Zestiria PR debacle.Never knew this was a non-Baba game. Why did he opt out?
Unlike Zestiria Berseria's price is still stable and the sales show some actual legs.Didn't Berseria do worse than Zestiria?

Legendia has a fine story and great music , but the characters were just ///// NOT FINE ////
if i have to be polite.
Legendia characters are just not good. The characters actually destroy the good story.. i'm always impressed how they managed such a mismatch.
With digital sales it's 99% sure it did though (Zestiria didn't have a digital version)
I know that's kinda a running gag but it's true
I wasnt expecting to see english voice acting already so far along. I'm surprised this isnt until next year
