I relate to this statement. My brother randomly played my game while I was at work today, and when I came home the first thing he had to tell me was that the opening animation and song was amazing.
the super clean picked "sweep" at 1:42 i find even more impressive. its not even THAT hard. only had to un-knot my fingers like 12 times before i could play it myself in half the bpm.
The moment I heard this, I started to love the game even more. Honestly, Tales of Zestiria had drawn so many harsh critics and I'm kinda disappointed. The game is really, really good on my opinion and the gaming mechanics really aren't as bad as people say. And, yes Mikleo is best girl.
@@MrZahsome It's my no. 1 game. And it will always be the best game for me because of the music, the mechanics, the characters, and the story. Just like watching a pop idol group perform, you may see some shortcomings here and there- but the connection that the performance bridges between the artists and the audience is what counts the most. Zesty "connects" in some way- because the characters are "cliche" on the outside but "deep" and "metaphorical" on another level- just like its story and theme. Hell, if gamers can play a game without any story and with yucky slime for characters and ear-splitting guitar sounds for background music, I'm sure Zesty has a lot more to it that's worth appreciating.
Yes he is freakn kawaii :3 The first time I saw him he instantly reminded me of L-Elf from Kakumeiki Valvrave (their personalities couldn't be more different though x_X). It seems white/light blue hair and purple eyes are a rare combination ;o
@@LadyIno Same Japanese VAs also. L-Elf was Sorey (Ryohei Kimura) and Haruto was Mikleo (Ryota Ohsaka). Boruto and Akaashi of Haikyuu also have the same VAs (Boruto/Sorey; Akaashi/Mikleo). ^_^
I remember the first time I stumbled upon this in the game, it was sooooooooo good. the music and the graphics blended in perfectly. It is still amazing now, no matter how many times i watch this.
I thought they were going to roll credits with the intro the moment it showed up while I was playing. It got me so pumped out! This game is one of the best animes I've seen just for how it starts.
(THE NEXT COMMENT CONTAINS SPOILERS OF THE GAME READ AT YOUR DISCRETION) I got mad and stopped playing 2 months ago because i got deceived that Alisha was gonna be the normal servant and that Rose was gonna be his second but (SPOILERS!!!) Alisha was just the temporary servant and Rose was the main one...
I started playing Tales of Zestiria yesterday. Today I saw this sequence 2 or 3 times. You should've seen how I reacted. I can't describe it. First 3 seconds and I knew: I need this song like I need air. I have never heard such a great E-guitar before. And the animation. Oh my, when I saw the part with his armatization for the first time I freaked out. It's good that I was home alone at that time. Such an awesome song! One to play when you feel self-conscious and really need confidence. Perfect for me.
I love how you get this opening when you're first playing this game. You get out of the beginning area then you get this opening. It was great and when I saw that I was like " yep this is going to be a great game ".
I love this game. Even if people think the world building is just bad expository dialogue and the characters are just sacks of bad puns and the world is empty and bland. I didn't really care for the combat, but the world was detailed and interesting and the characters were loveable and the sense of humor was just perfect for me. The music was absolitely incredible and the art was gorgeous and relaxing. I had a good time with this one.
I can never understand why zestiria gets so much hate from fans. I thought it was a pretty decent Tales game, though not as good as Symphonia, Abyss or Vesperia. I also think Zestiria had the best soundtrack of the series
I personally didn't care for the combat system. The transformations were too much of an unnecessary power spike. But the story was fine, even if the main character was pretty bland.
It's the combat sadly. As Tales games go, I find it very enjoyable, but there is something lacking where the fights are concerned. It's to...mashy and automatic I guess.
@@garrettschafer7244 Abyss is my favorite, and I have played many Tales games. To each his/ her own I guess. I loved it personally, but it's cool if you didn't.
@@VotePaineJefferson well that goes for most of the main characthers are kinda bland(main here being the first you play as) the only exception i know of are milla and velvet
+Eric Stewart Then you are playing the game in English. If you start the game with Japanese dub instead of English, it has lyrics in this song, the English dub does not.
Honestly this soundtrack was the reason i wanted to play this game soo bad. And im absolutely fascinated with the game. Can't understand the complaining voices for this game. I have no technical difficulties at all, i LOVE the characters and the story as a whole with this seraphim/shepherd thingy
Childhood man, childhood. Listening to this brings back such blissful memories. When I started up this game, I always listened to the games opening because it was just amazing and beyond that. Thanks for the wonderful memories!
I mean, at least they replaced the lyrics with something instead of just using the same song with just no lyrics. Also, you cannot deny the awesome at 1:30, you just can't.
Beat intro to any Tales game ever, the original is okay, but omitting the vocals for the guitar actually added to the atmosphere of the song and really got the adrenaline going. Helps that the game is also awesome too. Playing Berseria before it since it is the earlier game chronologically actually helps you appreciate this underrated gem of a game that much more.
the expression of the leadguitar is in-fucking-sane. playing a guitar not just as an instrument but as if it would be alive is one skill most people wont reach but making it sing the main-vocals is stupendous beyond belief.
I'm currently playing the game and I can say I haven't felt this hooked and addicted to a game since FFX, which is a pretty tremendous feat for bandai namco. Everything from the OST to the plot and gameplay feels so utterly awesome.
Tales of the Abyss is one of the greatest of the series, for quite obvious reasons. The music, the characters, specifically Luke and Asch. Tales of Zestiria instantly took that spot with the DRAGON!
While saving money for Arise I was reminded about how much this game changed my life I still love this opening, the memories it gave, and most of the characters haha I owe so much to this game, I realized how much fun art was, I rediscovered my love for fantasy, it made a difficult time in my life easy And while Zestiria isn't my favorite game, and I can't play it anymore because I'm reminded of how annoyingly obsessed with this game I was, Sorey and this game will always hold a special place in my heart
Me and my beautiful offspring like this so much that we named her newborn sister Lailah =) I truly adore this intro and it sure got me into the game, one that isnt flawless, but amazing nonetheless.
i like that they gave this the abyss and semi vesperia treatment. in vesperia they actually had a singer who sung it in both languages This is by far the greatest Tales opening theme song i have ever heard.
Love the game. 20/10. I don't know what I would've done if I hadn't have gotten this game for Christmas. I can't wait until I finish it, because then I'm gonna start watching the anime. If I started watching the anime now, I would get head and know everything that's gonna happen, so I won't for now.
This is one the games in the tales series that are not afraid of introducing the concept of significant characters dying and it's very unique in its own way. I do think the anime introduced a more happier ending, but the game still gives me that bitter sweet feeling of finishing a great game.
duuuuuude, this phucking opening........the damn guitars are so sick!! Guys, quit commenting BS about whatever, and talk about how phucking great the track is for this opening!!! Who did it?! What's the name of the band!? Phuck this shit Is hot!
One of the very VERY few openings of a video game or show that I don’t skip. The number of openings for anything I don’t skip I can count less than 10 fingers. Funny enough most of the openings I don’t skip are from anime, so yet another thing that is Japanese.
I would totally watch an anime of this game. Seriously, the cutscenes are already anime-style, now we just need to get the game into anime style and I could enjoy it. I'd pay sixty bucks for it too
I love the game and the opening. Amazing RPG and replaced Final Fantasy whitch I never took much intrwst in in the first place. But the combination of parts with the anime look and the regular RPG characters made it clash in an amazing and beautiful way. I truly recommend this RPG to anyone into thia kind of stuff. 10/10
If you've played other Tales games, the problems are similar. Zestiria was in fact more innovative- but I guess the old timers didn't want that. The battle system borrowed so much from Graces... and Graces is good. ^_^
i heard the game was pretty weak (which is a shame, because i really love tales games) but god does this opening kick ass. this has to be my favorite tales opening ever, and i haven't even played it. i thought nothing could top vesperia/abyss's opening, but this does imo.
Eh, it's fine if you like Tales games. IMO there are better ones (Vesperia, Symphonia) but there are certainly worse ones (Graces, Legendia, Hearts). The battle system's still fun.
Idk I heard the same thing about it, but I haven't played Tales so I don't have any comparisons to hold it up to. That being said, I found this game totally addicting. Love it.
I played a lot of Tales games, Abyss is my favourite and i have to say this game was very very fun. I really don't see why people are complaining. Yeah the story was subpar compared to others but the OST and gameplay made this game worth it
paulunga im someone who really enjoyed graces, actually. the story is cheesey, the characters are one dimensional, but i had so much fun with it. so i guess if i can enjoy graces, ill probably enjoy this.
Depends on which one it is. I never played this game, or anything else post Xillia 2, but I always skipped the openings of a lot of the early games (pretty much everything pre-Vesperia I think. Maybe not Abyss since that was just an instrumental of the original which was not as annoying) simply because I was annoyed that they replaced the original openings in translation.
Not the best game, but was good all around. It looked amazing. I'm always impressed with how much further they go with Cell shading. Speaking of which, the new Zelda game also looks amazing.
+malachijethro Tales of Xillia 1 and 2 had the original japanese versions and they are awesome, in Vesperia and Graces they at least gave then english lyrics instead, but taking then off entirely is sad.
+malachijethro It probably has to do with copyright issues, but they did the same thing for Tales of Hearts R. It's pretty obnoxious. This has been a problem since Tales of Destiny first released, though, so it's on Namco Bandai and the JASRAC to get it sorted out. Oh well, at least we're getting the bonus chapter for Alisha at no charge...I think?
+Tony Laskin sure, but those games rarely have any artists as big as the ones that BandaiNamco hires for their Tales openings. the bigger the artist, the more expensive it is to license the music. there is also the fact that some artists have contract stipulating that their voices can't be heard outside Japan, seriously.
watched this every single time i opened the game. Always will.
Its what makes me open the game...
Same, I do that with every Tales game
Never skipped any Tales opening. Worth it!
me!
My God same i love this intro! :)
Can't hear the complaints over that guitar.
Mah nigga.
Sorry can't hear you over the sick ass jam goin on right now XD
It's hard to hear complaints when trash is playing
I don't have any complains regarding the guitar 👌
he meant the playing style thrash and not trash...........
Who needs lyrics when the guitar can sing?!
Keep striving for the white
Not Zep, but they have them anyway. SCORE!
I agree. It's way better and it's BADASS 😎🤟!!
In my gamethe opening was exactñy like here, why are others with lyrics?
Look up the Japanese OP, or if you just want to listen to the full song look up White Light by Superfly!
These guitar rifts are fucking real
My favorite moment of this op is Edna's stomp.
Mine is the chains, but it's all good.
Yeah that is where the song is most epic to me!
My favourite moment too. Edna was easily the best character in the game for me.
Yes!
I can't help but feel you're forgetting something... 1:36 just goes so hard, easily my favorite part, and I would contend it for best part
One of the few Openings i've never skipped
Mikleo is best girl
the best waifu
Mikleo is a guy
thats the joke...
*facepalm*
hater
that killer guitar riffs is one of the reason I'm scratching this game off my wishlist in Steam. Time to play, bois
the moment when u're playing game and find opening....
I relate to this statement. My brother randomly played my game while I was at work today, and when I came home the first thing he had to tell me was that the opening animation and song was amazing.
ikr first game ever that that happened it felt like i was watching an anima
anikanbounty97 try playing any of the wild arms series
cashew123449 wild arms 1 kicks ass. I Didn't like anything past 2.
Zach Haefner I liked Wild arms 3 but i cant say anything past that since ive yet to play them
Despite having had the lyrics removed, Its still one hell of an epic song to listen to.
1:36 - 1:38 is so satisfying.
the super clean picked "sweep" at 1:42 i find even more impressive. its not even THAT hard. only had to un-knot my fingers like 12 times before i could play it myself in half the bpm.
i remember when i First saw that opening, i instantly got goosebumps. what a fantastic game
I still get goosebumps whenever I hear this song.
I still get goosebumps everytime
I still get goosebumps. But now it's much worse because I get them for ALL the tracks. ^_^

Well lailah kinda is...
I dunno about that. Have you seen how omegaevolution handles her?
+BradleyMcCloud Have you played the part where she has to enter a dungeon by herself...
***** Which part is that? Don't remember doing that in the game.
it's one of the Crucibles spread out in different areas, think it's optional..each character is assigned to one
ever since i started playing this game this music has been stuck in my head its incredible a great game.
paul miles I agree. I've been playing it and it's really good.
Its good but not great as a game solid 7.5/10
I am interested what kind of art styles she found good..
I remember the first time I stumbled upon this in the game, it was sooooooooo good. the music and the graphics blended in perfectly. It is still amazing now, no matter how many times i watch this.
Honestly prefer this opening than the anime's opening. Gives me more vibes and feels. .^.
Yea, the moment when you start your journey with this op
i prefer this opening then the anime opening as well~
I thought they were going to roll credits with the intro the moment it showed up while I was playing. It got me so pumped out!
This game is one of the best animes I've seen just for how it starts.
col3hearted same... its better without the lyrics

Nope
Same here. Zestiria has a really good soundtrack and a host of talents that make it an incredible game. Never let the haters change my mind... ^_^

they doing a good job so far on it like the new take on the anime, it put zenrus in a new light of how powerful he truly is.
love how they showed alisha turning around three times in different angles
bought this game on psn store for free + bonus and didn't expect to had this badass opening, oh man what a wonderful life 😄
Personally didn't care for the vocals of this song to begin with. Love how it sounds without.
I wouldn't say she sucked. She has a powerful voice that carries very well. But It's just not for me.
+TheElemynt in the game it doesnt have vocals this how its always been for me

Fits so well with Berseria
@@chiakinanami3110 Same for me, first Tales game and I absolutely love it!
Every time I listen to this I get goosebumps.. and i can't count how many times I listened to this masterpiece.😉
I still wish there was a full version of the instrumental version, due to how amazing the guitar and trumpets are here.
I know, they fucking nailed it! I think I like this version better than the actual one with sung lyrics, it's just that good!
Came here to listen again after finished the game for years, and it still does not disappoint.
Here a year later to confirm it still slaps
This song still gets me after those years, tales of zestiria was a magnificent game.
This opening is amazing with and without the lyrics.
The guitar certainly fills the vocals. I'm more used to vocal ones than off-vocal ones, but they did this one -nicely- better.
Childhood man, childhood. Listening to this brings back such blissful memories. When I started up this game, I always listened to the games opening because it was just amazing and beyond that. Thanks for the wonderful memories!
I mean, at least they replaced the lyrics with something instead of just using the same song with just no lyrics. Also, you cannot deny the awesome at 1:30, you just can't.

This is the best! The theme fits so well!
1:26 - that moment when you think it can't get any better...
I just finished watching the second season. I absolutely love this series! Admittedly I cried at the end of the last episode, and then felt so happy.
Tales of the Abyss is one of the greatest of the series, for quite obvious reasons. The music, the characters, specifically Luke and Asch.
Tales of Zestiria instantly took that spot with the DRAGON!
Clearly you can tell I love dragons.
My fave as well.
God, I remember when I was younger my dad would play this game and I would yell at him whenever he tried to skip past the opening.
Just got Zestiria and saw this opening. Wonky battle camera? Sorry can't hear you over how badass the opening is.
Brought here by Zetho,hope you can see this.
This song rocks!
Thank you,again.
The opening riff is what the term ''fist pumping'' was made for
While saving money for Arise I was reminded about how much this game changed my life
I still love this opening, the memories it gave, and most of the characters haha
I owe so much to this game, I realized how much fun art was, I rediscovered my love for fantasy, it made a difficult time in my life easy

Why isnt this version on spotify T^T
Its so metal i love it!!!!
I can't think of any other video game opening that has gotten me more excited to play it than this opening.
When you buy a game, but don't actually get around to start it for months then this plays.
*WORTH IT!*
This is one of my favorite things ever.
Am I the only one who love this OP more without vocal?
Martin Iden I make two.
Me 3 :)
i like that they gave this the abyss and semi vesperia treatment. in vesperia they actually had a singer who sung it in both languages
This is by far the greatest Tales opening theme song i have ever heard.
I have the game!
soon it will be on my channle!
Does zestiria take place after or before berseria
Quzeana Love Berseria takes place before Zestiria.
Matthew Beard ok I thought so but I wasn't sure thank u
best game intro ever
Ever? Eh. Tales? Absolutely.
Love the game. 20/10. I don't know what I would've done if I hadn't have gotten this game for Christmas. I can't wait until I finish it, because then I'm gonna start watching the anime. If I started watching the anime now, I would get head and know everything that's gonna happen, so I won't for now.
Do you still stand by that now😂
i first heard this song from Amalee and lovd it but after hearing the real version on episode 5 of this anime i completly fell inlove with the music
Ahh the countless times I opened up the game and this song bursted my ear drums
This is one the games in the tales series that are not afraid of introducing the concept of significant characters dying and it's very unique in its own way.
I do think the anime introduced a more happier ending, but the game still gives me that bitter sweet feeling of finishing a great game.
I swear that this song is like an amazing cup of coffee when ya gotta wake up hella early for work! Theres nothin like it!
I love this song, the instrumental and the original... one of the best openings =3
duuuuuude, this phucking opening........the damn guitars are so sick!! Guys, quit commenting BS about whatever, and talk about how phucking great the track is for this opening!!!
Who did it?! What's the name of the band!? Phuck this shit Is hot!
The original is "White Light" by Superfly.
0:54 - 1:15 is my absolute favorite part of this video
One of the very VERY few openings of a video game or show that I don’t skip. The number of openings for anything I don’t skip I can count less than 10 fingers. Funny enough most of the openings I don’t skip are from anime, so yet another thing that is Japanese.

You're in luck. Anime is airing this season.
Episode 1 came out 30 minutes ago. 24 episodes, animation way better than this too.
and damn i think it does follow the main story as well, or is a prequel, honestly i dont care its great
+commander frostwolf its following an original prologue so i think its mostly original
Cole McGrath damn a prolouge thats even better
I love the game and the opening. Amazing RPG and replaced Final Fantasy whitch I never took much intrwst in in the first place. But the combination of parts with the anime look and the regular RPG characters made it clash in an amazing and beautiful way. I truly recommend this RPG to anyone into thia kind of stuff. 10/10
Why can’t I get enough of this
Have never once skipped the op and never will
The power vocals in the OG version are amazing
But.... that electric guitar is orgasmic sounding
Omg the slow motion moves......THAT IS SOOO COOL
This got played in the anime version episode 5 , it made me sooo hype that I feel the urge wanting to play that game sooo bad !!!
I play the game but haven't finish yet. Some of the people complain about the game. But i don't have complain this game.
Yeah i kept repeating it xD ... However this is the game opening..
That riff has a voice in itself
While the game itself had problems, I think Zestiria has one of the best Tales playable casts by far.
If you've played other Tales games, the problems are similar. Zestiria was in fact more innovative- but I guess the old timers didn't want that. The battle system borrowed so much from Graces... and Graces is good. ^_^
Ufotable thanks again for such great animation =D
OH MY DAMN GOD I LOVE THIS EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T PLAY THE GAME IN YEARSSSSSSSSS
I don't care what anyone says, this IS the best theme song in a Tales game ever mad. Both the original and instrumental version of this are God like.
i heard the game was pretty weak (which is a shame, because i really love tales games) but god does this opening kick ass. this has to be my favorite tales opening ever, and i haven't even played it. i thought nothing could top vesperia/abyss's opening, but this does imo.

Nothing is worst than Tempest.
This song is by far the best part of this game.
This was my first tales game so it’s my favorite one no matter what haters say about it
Tbh, im not in manga and normally I skip opening scene but when I played this game.. I was truely amaze
When I showed my friend this she said the art style is terrible.... T^T I disagree, I think it's amazing. :3
WolfieDraws i feel sorry for your friend; a great loss, indeed :/
Then it means your friend has no taste in anime style art
I just started playing this game. I love it so much!
Rest in peace Mutsumi Inomata.
1:14-1:34⭐
Honestly nothing could top this. Maybe tales of the abyss.
Or Symphonia and berseria
One does not simply skip a Tales intro.
This guy gets it!
Depends on which one it is. I never played this game, or anything else post Xillia 2, but I always skipped the openings of a lot of the early games (pretty much everything pre-Vesperia I think. Maybe not Abyss since that was just an instrumental of the original which was not as annoying) simply because I was annoyed that they replaced the original openings in translation.
Not the best game, but was good all around. It looked amazing. I'm always impressed with how much further they go with Cell shading. Speaking of which, the new Zelda game also looks amazing.
Why does the enlish versions always get the lyrics taken off?
+malachijethro Tales of Xillia 1 and 2 had the original japanese versions and they are awesome, in Vesperia and Graces they at least gave then english lyrics instead, but taking then off entirely is sad.
+malachijethro It probably has to do with copyright issues, but they did the same thing for Tales of Hearts R. It's pretty obnoxious. This has been a problem since Tales of Destiny first released, though, so it's on Namco Bandai and the JASRAC to get it sorted out. Oh well, at least we're getting the bonus chapter for Alisha at no charge...I think?
+Triblazer It's because Bandai Namco are cheapass fucks. You don't see any niche JRPG developers/publishers losing music rights in the west.
+Ragefat sung in english sure, but sung by the original Japanese singer.
+Tony Laskin sure, but those games rarely have any artists as big as the ones that BandaiNamco hires for their Tales openings. the bigger the artist, the more expensive it is to license the music. there is also the fact that some artists have contract stipulating that their voices can't be heard outside Japan, seriously.
Is it bad that every time I start a Tales game I come back to this clip, just to watch this intro then I go back to the game.
Literally.. jaw dropped..
I mean, how come I have never seen this before?
I’m so gonna buy the game after this
