Truly the DLC Namco dumped on in its attempt in compensating Alisha's screentime so they'll never look back at this particular Tales series title ever again. But hey, how rare is it to have a scenario where you're mostly stuck with an all-girl party! :o Bring on Berseria!
On one hand I love that we get to play as Alisha but on the other hand they could've done this dlc episode so much better then just throwing copy and paste dungeons... Oh well. After this I wanna hear Alexis Tipton in more video games.
+dagoldenclip2 Yeah, a shame indeed. Rose and Alisha's interaction in this DLC are really good too, so makes me wonder how good it would of been to have the 3 humans interact together through the whole journey lol
I feel like the reason they cut her out was for two reasons. One was that she was a popular character and that people would pay extra to have her in the game. Two was probably because as a writer making dialogue between the characters, she was too agreeable and created no in game conflict. There always has to be a black sheep in the group and since she and Sorey were too similar, it created a lack of strife among characters. Still, when she left the party, it left me feeling really sour seeing how none of the characters contesting her leaving. I really liked her personality and character design. In Tales of Berseria, they made Eleanor into that character, but I really like Alisha's character design more.
For some reason, I always laugh whenever I hear Lunarre's laugh. I originally thought, maybe his laugh is one of those laughs that are contagious. Then I realised that it's merely because his laugh is so hilariously odd that it's practically impossible to keep a straight face.
The music in Zesty really stands out. I only own Symphonia and Abyss. I remember some tracks from Abyss and two from Symphonia (dungeon theme/fighting of the spirit).
Well, I am glad that we got this DLC so that we would see more of Alisha even if it is just a chapter. Though even now, I still don't get why Rose was being so cold to Alisha at the start of the chapter? It seemed strongly out-of-character.
And the best thing to come from this DLC: the voice actors got to make more money. They deserve it. Funny how a good chunk of the scenes are skits. Seems they didn't feel like animating more than they had to. And what was with the sequel bait at the last scene? 01:43:52 lol Zavied.
+StattStatt a popular theory is that there were supposed to be more DLC episodes, but the backlash Namco got from the japanese fanbase back when this one was announced got them to rethink that plan (but left the cliffhanger there anyway). There is an anime for Zestiria in the making now, so maybe that will give us some answers... or not. Guess we will find out when it comes out (or when more info is out)
omegaevolution Makes sense I guess. Though they could have at least left the cliffhanger out to lessen confusion. :P Well there was an OVA-like episode (which wasn't too bad) that was released before this game's japanese release, so maybe they'll just continue to from there or something. Though more answers would most likely not be something I'd bet on. lol
+StattStatt The OVA came bundled with the Collector's Edition for the Western releases (dubbed and subbed as well), but all it is, is the first 40 or so minutes of the game, so it ends right after Sorey and Mikleo leave the village. It has a few very minor differences like Alisha hasn't left yet when they fight Lunnare, but yeah other than that it was more just promotion in Japan for the game.
+StattStatt Even though it seemed like a cliffhanger, we can infer from the main story's epilogue that no malevolence exists, so that means Lunnare's plans failed to harm Sorey. We can also assume Lunnare's other plan of harming the others failed. However, I do agree that we couldn't see all this unravel in future DLC or in this one.
+omegaevolution There are rumors are going around that the anime might not be about Zestiria after all as apparently the information that it is a adaptation of Zestiria is changed on their website, now saying it is a a Tales of anime or something and apparently one of the voice actors said that they weren't informed much about the plans of the anime.
I Feel So Bad For Alisha she's so worried about sorey girl calm down he's not Gone gone he's not dead he's just in a very deep sleep but it's a good thing we see him after the credits saving mikleo from falling!!!
Because the fact they all but confirmed that Berseria is a prequel to Zestiria means they totally want to abandon the Zestiria universe.... Yeah, sorry to everyone who rags on Zestiria but Namco seems extremely attached to this project.
Two games based on the same universe and even an anime which is getting a second season i kinda doubt anyone wants to let this go for awhile and i cant blame them either im attached and want to see if its going to have a second game about the new shepherd since they showed one and even that Sorey is also back from his 500 year sleep.
ugh i didnt like rose's character in this, she just felt out of character but maybe thats because alisha hasnt really been with her throught the main story so we dont really get to see them interact but still. rose is mature enough not to act like that to hide what happened to sorey.
Actually, there's a specific skit on the free skit DLC where we're given Rose's perspective of the events right before her meeting with Alisha. Basically, Rose willed herself to drive her off no matter how she had to because she was afraid her learning of Sorey's "death" would make her lose her drive. Note that Rose actually acted "aloof" the first timearound and just evaded questions, but when Alisha literally stalked her all the way to a diferent city to demand answers she decided to take the "Bitch" route. In other words, Rose was acting and Alisha just pushed further which lead to Rose getting ticked off. There really was literally zero personal interacions between Rose and Alisha without Sorey being there (and in fact Rose barely talked to her) so I don't think they really "changed Rose" though they should have resolved the whole catfight a lot earlier.
"Alisha won't stand a chance!" Give her some credit, *at least she had a weapon triangle advantage over those mooks*. Maybe she also has a decent dodge rate. Wait. Normal Girl *Persona*? -CAITLIN CLASS CONFIRMED FOR PERSONA 5!-
I would pay great money to play a game where the males of Tales of Xillia 2 and females of Tales of Zestiria go on a quest. Christ, the skits that would happen. I would seriously pay millions to play
This takes place before the post credits scene of the base game, as evident of Mikleo being older. And you'd have to be the biggest, densest skeptic to not think it was Sorey right there, in physical, humanoid form.
Am I the only one who thinks Alexis Tipton (Alisha's voice actress) sounds like Laura Bailey and Caitlin Glass (Rose's voice actress) sounds like Michelle Ruff?
I honestly thought for the longest time that Alisha was voiced by Laura Bailey. I just got a huge smack in the face when I found out otherwise. They sound too much alike! >_
Why not? The game proper even mentions in a skit that Rose became Sorey's squire and not a Sheperd merely because Lailah is unable to create more than one Sheperd at a time. I recall it was a skit where Rose joked about being the "Replacement" for the Squire position,which Lailah basically points out that Rose has as much Spiritual Resonance as Sorey does which means she could have been a Sheperd. It's basically the reason the game gives for why Rose can Armatize just like Sorey.
I played this in new game plus, xD that was a extremely bad idea but I managed to pull through and jumped my party up ten levels :) But man that was hell lol
6:17 We just heard you SECONDS ago! XD Huh... That's it? Kind of ended abruptly with Lunnare's motive, but at least we know he couldn't do whatever he planned because peace was made in the epilogue of the main story. Nice DLC in my opinion, but I wish they wouldn't have made Rose be such a b****. I'd rather see her and Alisha be best friends instead of the rivaling type of friends.
I don't mind Rose in this DLC. She's probably had a hard 3 months since Sorey...disappeared. Can't blame her for it. I hope there's a Zestiria 2. There's so many unanswered questions. And I want to see what happens next between Sorey and Mikleo, especially now that centuries had gone by when Sorey wakes up again.
Iris delos Reyes Hate to break it to you, but I don't think there's going to be a Zestiria 2 since Namco's working on Tales of Berseria, another mothership title.
GeonamicWarrior I know. I just wish there was one, though. It most likely has to do with the Alisha controversy, since Namco over-advertised her character, and she was gone for the remainder of the game, except for near the end. If anything, they should have advertised the people that they know were going to be part of the main story.
And Berseria is... wait for it - a Prequel to Zestiria ! As for the Alisha "controversy" that's just silly BS. Alisha was promoted at the start of development, and sometime mid-development she was mentioned less and less with Rose getting added to the promotional material. So, I'd say it was less a case of false advertisement and more a case of the game going through a change mid development that ended up in Alisha getting shoved to the background.
@@athrunzala75 The delay in your reply is really fitting, given the ending. Thanks for catching Mikleo when he fell, though. I didn't like the story, but that dramatic save still made my eyes tear up a bit. :D
Well a part of me appreciated this dlc, the fact that it was basically made in response to the fact that the main games marketing was so misleading about Alicia was pretty lame.
+Jordan Perry Rose is now the Sepherd. After Sorey left, Rose took over Sephard duties while he was restoring the world. And also, only the Sepherd can make Squire pacts.
@@niadosan Wasnt that made certain by Zestiria proper? Once the shepard steps down the next one takes the mantle. Rose was prime candidate anyway. What I find intersting is that the 4 Seraphs made it theyr mission to guide Shepards going forward.
As interesting as these cut scenes are, this is some really crappy level design. Namco, get it together. If you want people to pay for DLC, you gotta make it good DLC.
Omega do you plan to do a playthrough on the end game dungeon ? Because i heard there cameo of past tales characters in it and would love to see how are they being introduced into the game

"Friggin' watch me, Rose."
I wasn't ready...
Was even less ready at 23:50

Oh snap it's the great chasm. Tiz and friends are on their way to save this DLC!
For the 6th time!
12:18 the classic "Never been friends" cliche moment
That was a nasty cliffhanger. They need to clear that up.
nah, it makes sense.
the new sheppard is Rose and a new lord of calamity is being made
It takes place before the final post credits scene of the base game. As evident of Mikleo's appearance.
On one hand I love that we get to play as Alisha but on the other hand they could've done this dlc episode so much better then just throwing copy and paste dungeons... Oh well. After this I wanna hear Alexis Tipton in more video games.
The fact that the only one looking back at Sorey's light is Mikleo makes my heart joyful yet sorrowful.
He loves me dearly, after all.
Man, and Alisha had such cool artes; shame we couldn't get more of her in-game.
+dagoldenclip2 Yeah, a shame indeed. Rose and Alisha's interaction in this DLC are really good too, so makes me wonder how good it would of been to have the 3 humans interact together through the whole journey lol
Dio Brando why? did she die?
Ohh ok, I heard they might make a zesteria 2, not sure how true it is.

@gamrage Well said. I agree. Alisha seemed docile but it gave her a bit of charm.
@dagoldenclip2 Dat Thunderclap thooo
For some reason, I always laugh whenever I hear Lunarre's laugh. I originally thought, maybe his laugh is one of those laughs that are contagious. Then I realised that it's merely because his laugh is so hilariously odd that it's practically impossible to keep a straight face.
That skit after Symonne had me laughing so hard! XD
The music in Zesty really stands out. I only own Symphonia and Abyss. I remember some tracks from Abyss and two from Symphonia (dungeon theme/fighting of the spirit).
Well, I am glad that we got this DLC so that we would see more of Alisha even if it is just a chapter. Though even now, I still don't get why Rose was being so cold to Alisha at the start of the chapter? It seemed strongly out-of-character.
I think what Bonded Alisha and Rose together was Sorey but I guess since he's gone Rose shows Alisha her true feelings towards her
That is girl. She just hates the princess
So they bring back Lunarre, and just have him be a creepy stalker with no confrontation or explanation of how he survived.
And the best thing to come from this DLC: the voice actors got to make more money. They deserve it.
Funny how a good chunk of the scenes are skits. Seems they didn't feel like animating more than they had to. And what was with the sequel bait at the last scene?

Door kun from p3 would like. Word with you
The end of this DLC confirms there will be a Zesteria 2 basicly...
It could've been scrapped.
Because the fact they all but confirmed that Berseria is a prequel to Zestiria means they totally want to abandon the Zestiria universe.... Yeah, sorry to everyone who rags on Zestiria but Namco seems extremely attached to this project.

6 years later, Hideo Baba's career at Namco is over and still no signs of Zestiria 2... I don't think it's ever happening...

Cat fight in the beginning of the game huh? What a way to get you to b e drawn in.
Kinda sad the Sorey never got to see Alisha again. :(
This takes place before the post credits scene of the base game, as evident of Mikleo being older. And you'd have to be the biggest, densest skeptic to not think it was Sorey right there, in physical, humanoid form.
they're so in love, it's great.
44:20 Not sure if he's sick or laughing
It is obvious that he is mentally ill and is laughing at some joke that his twisted mind is telling him.
so...many...chests...left..alone...
So... many...NPCs...not...talked...to...
16:39 clearly he's looking for Finn the stormtrooper

I know, right? That's life for you, or should I say, for us. About the smack in the face... I felt exactly the same.
Mora And now, Alexis Tipton replaced Laura Bailey for all her roles in the Fire Emblem franchise.
So basicalllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, Rose is a shepherd. Really Namco?
Why not? The game proper even mentions in a skit that Rose became Sorey's squire and not a Sheperd merely because Lailah is unable to create more than one Sheperd at a time.

It was expected tho
