Tales of Berseria™

im a kittengirl <3

Это были просто превосходные 91ч, я советую каждому пройти сей шедевр, игра меня настолько затянула, что я почти безвылазно в неё играл. Превосходная история, действительно интересная и, что самое главное, она не настолько что-ли беззубая как Tales of Arise. Персонажи действительно цепляли и было крайне интересно слушать историю каждого. Из минусов, которые сейчас вспомнил, могу подметить, что под конец игры, бегать по локам, по которым ты бегаешь уже раз 16 без землеборда - надоедает. Ну и конечно же, как и в Tales of Arise, как и в Ni no kuni первом - последняя лока ♥♥♥♥♥♥ духота, - хотя конечно, в разы лайтовее чем в Ni no kuni. Искренне рекомендую каждому пройти эту невероятную историю. И перед тем как играть в неё, ответьте на один вопрос: Почему птицы летают?

Это моя первая JRPG, раньше я обходил этот жанр стороной. По этому это будет просто личное мнение человека далекого от жанра. Минусы: Боёвку, честно говоря, я так и не смог до конца понять. Слишком много всего и разобраться в ней не просто. К тому же хаос происходящий на экране может вызвать приступ эпилепсии. Это явно не моё. Локации... я словно играл в некое ММО РПГ без ММО. Ты всю игру ходишь по кишке или однотипным лабиринтам набитыми тупыми мобами. Словно некая гриндилка. И сундуки в которых в основном один хлам. Местами это было прям очень душно. И довольно много свойственной японским играм и аниме придури в диалогах и ситуациях. На любителя. К тому же игра абсолютно линейна. Возможно это особенность жанра, я не знаю... Однако игра воспринимается просто как некий фильм, где ты просто зритель и ни на что не влияешь. НО… Плюсы: Без преувеличения великолепный сюжет, который и удержал меня до самого финала. Он вызывает эмоции и если откинуть обёртку, поднимает действительно серьезные и глубокие вопросы. Отличные и яркие персонажи, имеющие свою историю и мотивацию. И как жаль, что пришло время с ними попрощаться…

Just finished my second playthrough of Berseria. For the last one and a half years, I have been playing a bunch of Tales games in the following order: Berseria, Arise, Xillia, Xillia 2 (dropped after 2h), Vesperia, Zestiria, Destiny DC, Graces f, Rebirth, Symphonia (dropped after 7h). I still want to play The Abyss and am probably going to do a replay of Arise. Hopefully, by then, we get a new Tales game. *Stares at Bamco... <.<* Anyway, back to Berseria. It was my very first Tales of in 2017 and, honestly, I didn't really enjoy it. Even now, on my second playthrough, the things I didn't like still bothered me. The Story & Pacing First off, the story. I'm not a fan of revenge themes. Plus, it's a slow burner and drags on and on without anything meaningful happening. Only in the last third does it get interesting; that's also the point where the party finally develops some kind of bond. This leads me to the skits. Most of them are so boring until that point that I skipped through them most of the time. This is in contrast to Zestiria's cast, which I really liked; all the members have such great synergy, and it's always fun to see them interact with each other. Visuals & Presentation A positive point is the graphics, which still look good even today in 2026. It's so much clearer, colorful, and better-looking than Zestiria—which just looked poor, had some weird dirt layer over the whole picture, and almost all the dungeons looked the same. The cutscenes are all well done, and you can see that Bamco paid more attention to the presentation aspect. Huge praise goes to Velvet’s JP voice actor. She did such a great job conveying the crazy emotional rollercoaster Velvet goes through. It's not that the rest of the cast does a bad job, but she just stands out that much. The Battle System The last thing I want to talk about is the battle system. I never fully enjoyed it, since it's kind of hard to get into a good flow. There is so much to it, and it's not really easy, in my opinion, to manage all of your resources. I usually struggled to build up souls, even if I attacked the enemy's weak points. A simpler system like the one in Vesperia would have been great. Hell, even the controversial system from Rebirth was more fun. Rating 7/10

Joguei e zerei ele em console e não na steam. A história é MUITO boa e foi o que me prendeu nesse jogo, todo elenco de personagens é fenomenal, mas nossa, o sistema de combate é muito ruim e nem faz sentido, achava um saco ficar passeando na tela pra recuperar meus pontos de ação durante a batalha, enquanto no Tales of Graces eu podia defender pra pegar buffs e até usar uma evasão pra recuperar prontos, o fazia fluir o combate sem essa quebra abrupta, ainda assim eu considero que foi uma experiência positiva.

One of my favorite JRPGs and Games in general ever made.

I didn't really like some of the other games in the series, but this one stands out. The story is solid. The characters are well written, and not just stereotype generic personalities for any given class. Everyone has a decent story arc and some real character development throughtout the game. It's still a JRPG though, so expect to sink at least a hundred hours in... That being said, a remaster is coming out. I didn't see major changes in presentation, but it promises quality of life improvements. Afaik, the game has some censorship. Something about the bloodier scenes got cut out. And if you want another rabbit hole, check out the Localisation story. It sounds like the game was dubbed into English, then machine-transcribed into English subtitles, leading to some very amusing gibberish. That gibberish was then taken to translated into other languages. I think the actual game is now pretty much fixed, apart from some very obscrure side quests.

Kind of wish I could do a middle score of "Meh". The story was good but not the best. Beginning hooked me but it slowly lost me as it went. The characters are all great and have good growth as the story progresses. I ended up not finishing it. What made me quit before I reached the end was the actual gameplay. The dungeons are all the exact same thing, except the layout is different and it looks different. You are doing the exact same things in every single one of them, though. Puzzles are few and far between and even then they are just "activate X in Y location to open Z door", so super simple. Once you have played through to where you leave the prison, you have played through every dungeon in the game because they all were the same. No variety. The combat also got super boring super fast. The dungeons are all flooded with enemies. The combat system itself wasn't bad (even if it was very convoluted with 5-billion walls of text to explain it), but it gets old fast as you are in combat every 2 steps. You can have your character auto-fight battles, but the AI is incredibly dumb and will just stand there for no reason 80% of the time. It is much much (much much) faster to just do the combat yourself. It's a shame as the story is good (especially coming from Zestiria), but the game just could not hold my attention enough for me to finish it. I came to realize I was just trying to power through it and lost motivation to continue. The story was good but not good enough to make up for everything else being bleh. (For reference, I got to where they took the prison as their base and went fishing.)

Viniendo de jugar muchos final fantasy, la prota de Berseria rompe con lo clasico, tiene un trasfondo muy particular y la trama se desarrolla muy bien acorde a sus experiencias, es un juegazo a nivel de historia, el combate puede que se sienta sencillo si se compara con otros juegos del genero pero vale muchisimo la pena transitar la historia de Velvet y su cuadrilla de inadaptados xD recomendadisimo
