Worth it? is this related to other "tales of.." games?

[Q]

I haven't played a JRPG in years so this is good ol classic turn based JRPG?

Zestiria story is related to Berseria, Symphonia, Vesperia or Arise?

How's the replay value? do you finisht it and that it? or you can keep doing things after finishing the main story or before heading to the final battle? i remember in jrpgs there's a point of no return where you have to enter the final dungeon and fight the final boss and finish the game or you can just keep exploring previous zones and do stuff before heading to that battle.

I have logged over 300 hours, the replay is a good replay not a confusing look for everything or beat a minigame. Its just a straight up action rpg leveling system with some exploration. Its a fantastic rpg for 5$ on sell imo.

Gotta say I really liked the alisha dlc as well, its not just a light easily done expansion.

Symphonias great my fav tales, 2nd would be zestiria.

Since nobody answered your story question:
This game has references to Berseria, which is the prequel. You should play Berseria before this to understand the references.
Berseria is also a better game. It has the best combat out of all tales games so far imo (at least the ones that you can play on PC - except Arise, didn't play that one yet).

If berseria is a better game then zestiria it must be the best action rpg ever made cause zestiria is fantastic imo.

i got zestiria and symphonia, thinking about berseria but i pass on vesperia cuz denuvo yeah im one of those weirdos who hate drm over drm specially that one.
But berseria is Action JRPG or something? welll i think i read about how combat system became more focused on action after zestiria but im probably wrong.

I'm guessing berseria is a lot like zestiria since they are the same world, and vesperia I've played many times offline I'm not sure that denuvo actually is seriously implemented there. Where did you hear about vesperia and denuvo I never even knew it had denuvo.

Its cool, by berseria 2 do you mean arise or just berseria, cause berseria would possibly be more accurate as zesteria 2, since zesteria was released first. Altho maybe not since berseria is a prequel. Its confusing.

I would recommend phantasia the very first tales its a fav of mine but very few versions in america. You can get this one however, if you happen to have a GBA.

Also vesperia is a bit more pricey than the other tales but its got some amazing graphics.
