Tales of Zestiria PC Live Stream

Tales of Zestiria has seen a fair share of controversy among fans, mainly related to Alisha. Let’s not get into that.

Other players dislike the camera angles, the 30 FPS frame rate made many angry, and still others condemn Bandai Namco for offering special Steam pre-order bonuses, because giving players incentive to pre-order is apparently a terrible thing.

The battle system also gets a fair share of criticism, but don’t worry. If you dislike the Fusionic Chain Linear Motion Battle System (I love Tales battle system names), I’m sure the next game will try something new.

Yesterday, Bandai Namco held a Tales of Zestiria PC live stream, as well as a sneak peek of Symphonia on PC.

If you missed the Zestiria live stream, like me, you can still watch the archived video to see how Tales of Zestiria plays.

What I saw in the live stream impressed me. Graphically, the game reminds me of Xillia, and as much as people complain about the fusion system, I think it looks pretty cool.

Sorey came across as a pretty cool protagonist here (which I didn’t expect), and I’m more interested in the story now. It hinted a couple of times that he would be a devastating force if he turned evil, so I definitely want him to face a descent into darkness.

The camera got a little wacky in the later fights because of the multiplayer system, but not enough turn me away… especially since I play alone. Overall, I was impressed. Zestiria is still one of my most-anticipated games, and I can’t wait to play it.
