And he goes down like the utter badass that he is. It's a shame we didn't get more of Shigure. He was probably one of my favorites of the antagonists. Props to Namco as well for a well made action cut-scene.
I really like this cast of characters more than the past couple games. None of them are annoying or overly self-righteous. To bad they won't be more of them.
The only characters I had trouble with were Eleanor at the beginning, though that faded rather quickly, and Velvet. It' sonly after her "moment" where she "broke" and Laphi had to reason her than I can finally appreciate the character a bit more. But otherwise, I love the cast !
"This was going to be my secret weapon against Artorious". Honestly, game, don't shove in our face that a character is more than willing to fight the final boss IF YOU'RE JUST GOING TO KILL HIM OFF.
37:43 That was a reference to one of the victory quotes in Zestiria Sorey: "Piece of cake!" Mikleo: "It wasn't that easy..." Sorey: "That was a cinch!" Rose: "It was a little easier than that..." Sorey: "Gah! Then what was it?" Rose and Mikleo: "...a piece of cinch?"
Honestly I don't know much about the Tales series but from what I've seen, Shigure is one of the best characters I've seen. You know what to expect from him and he has his own ideals and goals and you can respect them.
I pretty much agree, although he didn't have much screen time compared to Artorius, I feel like he's one of the best characters of this game (And that's pretty hard since the only character I don't really like is Melchior, not a fan of the whole whorship thing )
Unlike the other Legates, Shigure doesn't seem like someone devoted at all to Innominat's goals... but Artorious had no choice but to recruit him. Better to have his strength working for the Abbey than risk having him against it. Kind of like Kenpachi Zaraki.
I knew I would feel bad for Shigure's death. Also, Innominat= 2 souls, 4 Empyreans= 4 souls, yet 2 Empyreans=/=Innominat, Innominat=4 Empyreans. The Empyreans sure are expensive.
Shigure’s theme Beat of Rangetsu is one of the best in the entire Tales Series. The use of a Japanese Koto flute in the song as well as rock music by Sakuraba when he composed the song blew my mind
I gotta admit, i kinda teared up when fighting shigure and the cutscene after because of how epic it was especially when shigure crossed blades with rokurou with his mystic arte
There is a rumour that rose from tales of zestria is the descend of Rokurou and Eleanor. Something to do with the red hair and Rongestsu fighting style with two blades. It’s a nice thought
All this talk about selfishness reminds me of Hachiman's view on greed: every one is greed at some point, no matter the degree, but it is not necessarily a bad thing.
At 18:55, I love that Rokouro hands/shows his older brother, Shigure his new Sword, & Shigure absolutely just admire the sword, It seems to me, that Shigure was happy/proud that his little bro finally had sword that surpass his own.
MrVocalover pride. pride is always a weakness. besides, with three legates to awaken three empyreans, I'm sure velvet could still cause damage to their plans.
So this is the battle where we need Rokurou in the battle or else Shigure's Mystic Arte will body all of us right? Dang talk about key member of the battle of Tales series every now and then :P.
So compared to Zestiria, how crippling is the Slow status in this game anyway? I'd imagine it's not quite as bad seeing as how you can still heal in this game.
Its still pretty bad lol Fortunately, statuses can be healed by just partner changing (which also recovers the soul you lost due to the status), which is a bit better than using a panacea.
Ok I will be pretty disappointed if the game doesn't show that Morgrim is safe and sound in the ending cutscene! This chubby cat has to survive all of this, because most important character
SaberMacro You can't dual wield a long sword, because a long sword are only meant to be used with both hands, unless you have a strong arm to wield it with one hand like Shigure does
And he goes down like the utter badass that he is. It's a shame we didn't get more of Shigure. He was probably one of my favorites of the antagonists.
Props to Namco as well for a well made action cut-scene.
Yeah, honestly would of wanted more Shigure, but I guess it would of been hard to keep Rokurou in check if he showed up a lot :p
I wish we got more of Oscar. Kind of feel bad for him he doesn't do anything in the game except get his ass kicked by Velvet anytime he shows up lol
RIP Shigure. You were a really cool guy and you were also hot.
Ditto
He was pretty scorzing
Hahaha
Amen.
"Quick Rokurou. Imagine him in his underwear."
"OH NO HE'S HOT!!!"
I really like this cast of characters more than the past couple games. None of them are annoying or overly self-righteous. To bad they won't be more of them.
Apparently, they saved the overly self-righteous characters for the Abbey. :P
The only characters I had trouble with were Eleanor at the beginning, though that faded rather quickly, and Velvet.
It' sonly after her "moment" where she "broke" and Laphi had to reason her than I can finally appreciate the character a bit more. But otherwise, I love the cast !
I agree. Berseria's cast is almost perfect. There's no character in this game with real flaws at the end.
So true! They're all so good. I was sad when i finished the game i want more of them!
while I agree Gaius is still pretty badass, Berseria's cast still beats the rest of Xillia's.
"This was going to be my secret weapon against Artorious".
Honestly, game, don't shove in our face that a character is more than willing to fight the final boss IF YOU'RE JUST GOING TO KILL HIM OFF.
29:45 The ship senses are tingling.
22:33
Rokurou: Behold the art of my ancestors!
Shigure: Uh, they're my ancestors too jackass.
Rokurou: ...Rangetsu Style: Heron!
37:43 That was a reference to one of the victory quotes in Zestiria
Sorey: "Piece of cake!"
Mikleo: "It wasn't that easy..."
Sorey: "That was a cinch!"
Rose: "It was a little easier than that..."
Sorey: "Gah! Then what was it?"
Rose and Mikleo: "...a piece of cinch?"
The most epic bossfight in this game!
I definitely I feel bad for Shigure, because he's a likeable villain.
Yeah, I'd say "rival" is the more fitting definiton than villain.
his fight theme has the vibe of Van's from Abyss
@@sharilshahed6106 Yeah, except Shigure isn't all genocidal.
0:28
You are wicked as a cinnamon bun. Though you could knock people's teeth out than rot them
Innominat can vouch for that.
Morgrim must've had the easiest malakhim job out there. Good for her!
No wonder she is tubby, she barely has to work at all :3
RIP Shigure, you were a great guy n' stuff
Honestly I don't know much about the Tales series but from what I've seen, Shigure is one of the best characters I've seen. You know what to expect from him and he has his own ideals and goals and you can respect them.
I pretty much agree, although he didn't have much screen time compared to Artorius, I feel like he's one of the best characters of this game (And that's pretty hard since the only character I don't really like is Melchior, not a fan of the whole whorship thing )
This. I pretty much love every character except Melchior lmao.
@@Tf0rceG There wasn't much to Shigure.. lol
He was just there to look cool.
Did Rokurou basically just ask Eleanor out?
I knew there was a reason I shipped those two.
It always seemed like she was most harsh on him out of everyone in the group. I loved that scene tbh.
A innocent goodey two shoes and a deamon together. Who woulda guessed lol
Eleanor could honestly be shipped with Velvet, Eizen, or Rokurou.
i made the mistake of putting rokurou in the side lines to regen hp, and holy shit shigure's MA hits like a truck
lol yeah, he can just spam it a lot if Rokurou ain't in the party and you give him a chance
"HAVE...ROKUROU IN... ALWAAAAAAAAAAAAAYS!"
Awesome fight,hands down.
When I did this fight, one of my idiot party members Switch Blasted him out and he ended up using his MA on me :/
14:50 lol...this..this is some Carpe Diem type stuff lol...Eizen and Rokuro trying to make Laphi a pimp daddy LOL
Unlike the other Legates, Shigure doesn't seem like someone devoted at all to Innominat's goals... but Artorious had no choice but to recruit him. Better to have his strength working for the Abbey than risk having him against it. Kind of like Kenpachi Zaraki.

27:00 One of the best finishing blows i seen
Yeah, Shigure was definitely my favourite Legate and he went out with a bang.
Now I officially ship Eleanor and Rokurou!!
Also, Eleanor best girl!!
I agree.
Well, strange way to write or pronounce "Velvet")
@@Deng73... You ship Velvet and Roukuro? I think more like he wants to pay his debt.
@Jason Adjiwanou Nope, that's not the case.
What I pointed out was a part of the best girl)
That skit at the end was just...amazing.
37:41
Ah! I didn't catch that when I first saw it. Zestiria victory quote reference~
Rokuro/Eleanor shipping intensifies.
OH NO ITS HOOOOOOTTTT!!!
Why do I find that so damn funny 😂😂😂
I gotta admit, i kinda teared up when fighting shigure and the cutscene after because of how epic it was especially when shigure crossed blades with rokurou with his mystic arte
favorite boss fight in the game hands down and Eleanor and Rokurou could make a great couple
Yeah, I loved that fight. His MA is also pretty cool and is nice to look at when you have Rokurou in to nullify it.
There is a rumour that rose from tales of zestria is the descend of Rokurou and Eleanor. Something to do with the red hair and Rongestsu fighting style with two blades.
It’s a nice thought
Now I know why I like this fight so much.
Imagine: Shigure as a politician, Rokurou as a cyborg ninja.
"Rokurou Rising Revengence"
Is more like sam vs raiden, sam was... a badass swordsman who cuts you but you still say "damn it, i can´t hate him", just like shigure XD
Magilou stop being cute and be my wife instead!
and wear pants
AWWWW We almost got Magilou to be honest and up front with everyone and Velvet had to cut her off. :(
All this talk about selfishness reminds me of Hachiman's view on greed: every one is greed at some point, no matter the degree, but it is not necessarily a bad thing.
just beat the boss yesterday, this is such a fun game and so far tbh i think this game will be better than symphonia.
At 18:55, I love that Rokouro hands/shows his older brother, Shigure his new Sword, & Shigure absolutely just admire the sword, It seems to me, that Shigure was happy/proud that his little bro finally had sword that surpass his own.
"whoever though of dried grapes should be hanged" XD GOD i love magilou
Smiling Velvet has been getting the better of Magilou. I approve of this upgrade.
A great throwdown between bros never ceases to amaze me.
If Melchior is trying not to be eaten then why don't he just run far away...
MrVocalover pride. pride is always a weakness. besides, with three legates to awaken three empyreans, I'm sure velvet could still cause damage to their plans.
"Hey, not too shabby..."
Rinse, wash and repeat for the entirety of the fight.
i will be pretty sad when this gamplay will be over
kuhyaku 16
Same man... Same... 😢
The scene before you fought shigure was so cool but not for me because he was holding a big ass kitchen knife cause I had chef outfit on.
Might be too late but... at 20:17 it would be funny if one character got hit by that sake cup XD
He didn’t use kurogane until the actual kill I’m pretty sure that wasn’t the deal
So this is the battle where we need Rokurou in the battle or else Shigure's Mystic Arte will body all of us right? Dang talk about key member of the battle of Tales series every now and then :P.
... Moon drinking the blood of the innocents... Somehow I love that part...
damn, looks like rokurou has got himself at hot date, congrats
"I hope you learn to like yourself"
Man this Game wouldve been an opportunity to show Symmones past to bad they didnt look on that.
Damn, you didn't even Shigure pull out his mystic arte. Not that it would have mattered with Rokurou, but still!
Rokurou watched One Piece.
Shanks > Whitebeard confirmed
No mystic arte from Shigure? I'm surpised. When I fought him he did it 4~5 times, thank goodness Rokuro is always there to intercept it.
He doesn't even need to dodge.
charcharmunr Because it'll be the same every time.
Seriously though, if he knew that his soul was needed to awaken the Empyreans... why doesn't he just leave?
melchior you are making it way too easy for them to revive the 4 empyreans... lol
It'll be the SAME EVERY TIME!
Rokurou went full Zoro on shigure
So compared to Zestiria, how crippling is the Slow status in this game anyway? I'd imagine it's not quite as bad seeing as how you can still heal in this game.
Its still pretty bad lol
Fortunately, statuses can be healed by just partner changing (which also recovers the soul you lost due to the status), which is a bit better than using a panacea.
I sucked bad at this boss on hard mode but you did very well :)
Ok I will be pretty disappointed if the game doesn't show that Morgrim is safe and sound in the ending cutscene! This chubby cat has to survive all of this, because most important character
Jess she's in Zestiria, so she at least survived around 1000 years
Am i the only one bummed because Rokurou new sword is pretty much a recolor of Shigure sword?
Am I the only one bummed out that Rokurou didn't take Stormhowl and dual-wield it with Stormquell?
SaberMacro You can't dual wield a long sword, because a long sword are only meant to be used with both hands, unless you have a strong arm to wield it with one hand like Shigure does
Happy Hakumen don't need two swords.
He will fuck you up with his dinky little knives.
+SaberMacro Watch the ending movie scene ;)
