Just want to point out that the game was made BEFORE the anime...so the game is canon, not the anime. Also any tv show tends to be non-canonical compared to books or games anyway, because tv producers are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

I still can't believe they made an anime series out of this awful installment in the Tales series :-\ The bar's been lowered so far now, that it'll never recover.

I can't believe that they're actually using the anime to fix the game's neutured Rose-centric plot.

It seems kind of dumb that they cancelled a Berseria anime to make a Zestiria one, when Zest is clearly the less popular game. If they have a hot asset, such as Berseria, why not capitalize on it? More people will watch it if more people are interested, and more people are interested in Berseria over Zestiria. Some people may actually AVOID watching because its Zestiria. Its an uphill battle.

Watch, the next game is going to use Sorey or a new protag completely as the MC and make Velvet the villain who's never going to get any screentime, even though they have her as an enormously popular asset that would automatically sell copies of the game by just being the MC, they will instead choose to not capitalize on that and will instead actively work against their own interests and actually put people off the game from the trailers alone ala Prototype 2. That's the kind of logic they employed in this anime.

I have no idea why the heck developers/publishers ever think its a good idea to take a well liked character and make them the villain in subsequent games instead of giving the players what they (clearly) want. It defies all reason and logic. Give us what we want and we give you money. But instead they give us specifically what we don't want. I have no idea why anyone would do this.

I hope I'm wrong about the next game set in this world, but from what I've seen from BN, I really don't have much faith. At least Berseria is a good game.

They never cancelled Berseria anime. It is just that theyve decided to make Zestiria anime first because Berseria was still in production that time... They won't be want to spoil the plot content of a new game because money. They would want people to buy the game first. Even if Berseria do get an anime, probably it will get one in the near future. (There is no announcement to make it though)

The Season 1 of Zestiria anime is good. Alisha is handled better. In Season 2, it pretty meh for me. I am not saying that it doesn't have good character development moments, but they way they skip things and made unnecessary changes has cause the adaptation to be in a total mess. Things are badly paced and it is confusing.

Seeing how bad the season 2 of anime is, I feel Zestiria (game) is not that bad after all.

I hope you do realize that in its later episodes the Tales of Zesteria X anime utterly and completely spoils Tales of Berseria's plot...

Tales games are generally not set in connected continuities. Zesteria and Berseria; Xillia and Xillia 2; Symphonia and Dawn of the New World / Knight of Ratatosk -- these are the exceptions, not the rule.

Yes, it is true. However, I mean although they do spoiled the main part of the story, but it doesn't equal the whole journey of Velvet. We only get to know what happened, but it does not mean we get to SEE what happened. So in a sense, the game didn't really got spoiled. Sometimes, a bit of spoilers is needed to attract buyers

ToZ is alright. The issue with ToZ is that ToB is a much better game.

ToB fixes up many ToZ's shortcomings in many aspects, such as:

Earthpulse & Earthen Historia
Hexen Island & The Callix
Malevolence
Innominat & Maotelus
Malak/Seraphim
Daemons/Hellions and Dragons
The Lord of Calamity
Zaveid & Eizen
Edna & Eizen
Camera issues
Exploration and backtracking
Itemization
Dungeons exploration
Desolation & Glenwood
The northern lands
Armatization

And the list goes on... We can keep listing stuff all day...

ToB is well grounded in every aspect, and it is a game on its own.

Nowadays I see ToB as the prime game, and ToZ as its aftermath... But in no way ToZ is a bad game.

Now regarding the Anime... The 1st season was good and following the game until party members reach Lastonbell. Afterwards, the anime took a different path..
