Tales of Zestiria Related to Tales of Berseria ?

[Cya Vain]

im just wondering, if the story of Tales of Zestiria is related to Tales of Berseria ? since in Zestiria the main protagonist has the power some like "Malakhim" in Tales of Berseria,
so i assume that Zestiria story is kinda having same plot as Berseria. and maybe after Tales of Zestiria , the story is still continue on Tales of Berseria. It is correct ?

Berseria is a prequel of sorts so there loosely tied. It's set like 3000 years before the events of Zestiria.

It is confirmed to be approximately 1000 years in the past. Not 3000 years.

Over the years, some word usage has been changed, but they are the same thing.
Malak(plural Malakhim) = Seraph(plural Seraphim)
Daemon = Hellion
Daemonblight = Malevolence
Exorcists = Shepherd/Squires

By the way, a lot of place shares heavy resemblance to Berseria as you keep on playing Zestiria. Some examples are:
Brigid Ravine = Westronbolt Gorge
Empyrean's throne = Artorius' throne
Loegres = Pendrago
Hexen Isle

There also some characters who are related to Berseria, that you are going to meet like Zaveid, Eizen(turned into a dragon), Eizen's sister - Edna, Maotelus(after laphicet turns to dragon in the ending), Phoenix the Normin(if you did the titania island optional boss sidequest).Etc.

Ah my bad thought it was confirmed to be 3000 years and not 1000 after. Guess I got my info mixed up.

The problem here is Tales of Zestiria the X. The latest episode (18 total, 6 for S2) literally states that it was several thousand years ago. Well, since it has diverged from the story of ToZ then it is easy enough to ignore.
Also from what I could gather, it was meant to be at least a thousand years ago, not a definite number like it was set 1000 years ago.

Yeah, it is not definite like exactly 1000 years ago. Rather, it is more like AROUND a thousand years ago.

I saw on videos that the main charactor in Berseria is also from this game .. I am not at the end of Zesteria I am about lvl 40 . but sofar I havent seen this girl ? forgot her name from Bestria , unless its a female from zestria and they changed the name ? but wouldnt that make her 1000 years plus old

She never appeared in the game. They never thought of making Tales of Berseria when they were making/developing Tales of Zestiria. But she appeared in the anime named Tales of Zestiria the X.

[Evil-Gaidin]

since they are essentially spirits/gods it's not hard to imagine some of them being +1000 years old

[rbubbaray]

ahhh ok , that makes sense .

Thanks

Everything happens 1000 years ago.

Fun fact, in Hexen Isle, you fight a Dragon (I won't mention who it is), but after defeating the Dragon it ends up turning into a skeleton. Sound familiar? It should, it's the optional super boss in Zestiria that gets resurrected, except that you now know learn what the story is behind this particular dragon.

Another connection regarding Zaveid - You fight 3 wyverns in Lothringen, just as Velvet is about to kill one of them, Zaveid steps in and stops her causing the wyvern to escape. In Zestiria while exploring the Wetlands area, you fight a 'Legendary Wyvern', and after defeating it, you get a cutscene with Zaveid stating that this is where his journey with his old companions began.

Lastonbell used to be a small village called Stonebury in Berseria. You get to meet the founders of the city in that village, and they'll mention on how they plan to build stuff.

Lothringen is actually the exact same as in Zestiria, aside from the fact that it's not destroyed in Berseria.

Regarding Velvet in Zestiria/Berseria
Although she is never directly mentioned in ToZ, she is the first Lord of Calamity, Heldalf being the Lord of Calamity during Zestiria's timeline.

Actually, Zaveid vaguely references Velvet in Tales of Zestiria.

You fight a Wyvern, Sorey asks if it was someone he once knew, it looks suspiciously like the Wyvern you try to fight but Zaveid protects in Berseria. (A seraph in Zesty mentions he thought it was taken care of a long time ago)

Then people talk about how shocked he once had friends, he said they were acquaintances, but he'd like to see them again, but "probably couldn't". This was in the Wetlands near the area you meet him in Berseria, next to what was then the port town that Eizen and Aifreed's crew helped build up a bit.

It was way too coincidence. I believe he was actually talking about Velvet. Though he didn't agree with her methods, she seemed to influence his current creed in Zestiria, and he still respected her quite a bit.
