Beat Tales of Berseria last weekend, as a big tales fan, surprised i didnt enjoy it as much as I thought(alot of abyss vibes and abyss was my favorite), was super rated comin in and maybe that ****d my expectations, still a decent tales and better than graces
I just finished it a bit ago and must say, I wonder if anyone can help me with what im feeling? before I begin, I want to say that TotA(toX is 2nd) is my fav tales game and one of MY FAV JRPGS, had good world building, solid cast but the PLOT sucked me in, it had many layers and twists and i never wanted it to end, the game only got better as it went on for me, the first 5 hours were awful but after that 7-8hr mark i just felt gripped and never looked back.
all but ToG i always felt something, even with ToV which i felt the last 1/3 was absolute DOG****
I felt that ToB had everything that I ALMOST EVERYTHING I WANT IN A JRPG PLOT/STORY, it had a really solid cast, great world building, a unique but solid plot(no political stuff like in TotA but wehatev) with some twists and turns along the way, could have used more spice but still, ToB story had everything I think you could, or at least I could want in a jrpg story.
But for some ****ing reason it didn't grip me like most previous titles did (**** ToG that was ****ty game through and through) literally the first 20hrs I was waiting for that little kick I felt in ToX and ToTA(both super slow starts imo) and it came about right around the 25 hr mark for me right
but it wasnt anything major like in previous tales games.
I kinda hate myself for not loving this game more, I can see why people praise it apart of its equipment and maybe battle system. but overall, felt it was okay to goodish for sure but expected just a little more investment on my part like in previous tales games. felt a hollow feelign throughout when I know i shouldn't because this game has a lot of things I like in a story, sure tehre are some things it missed but still, felt thi tales game really was kinda like the closest we've gotten to abyss imo, not sure if anyone feels the same
gonna play ToZ now
