It really shakes up the plot which is great because the Tales of series does have a tendency to feel samey in some ways.Ĭombat in this game shifted similarly to how it did in Tales of Zestiria where instead of the side view of the big rounded arena map, they basically just put the area down in that actual map you are traversing. You basically are controlling a team of self centered misfits, and I have to say that I love the shift. No heroes here, no chosen ones, no legend or prophecy to fulfill. And why not? She's a demon, and she only has one goal set for herself and that is vengeance.

She literally feeds on her own hate and rage, and spits pure venom to everyone. It starts as most tales games usually do, but man oh man does it get dark in a hurry.īut the time we actually take control again, Velvet is a completely different person. Velvet is cheerful, content in her life with her assembled family and village, and seemingly happy. Outside of the initial animatic, you would think that this might be Tales as normal for the first hour or so. Even Tales of Graces angst ridden whinefest wasn't so outwardly malicious. Never before in my memory has there been a Tales that focused on such a dark theme.
