That it does but what tales game doesn't however this one hits your emotions smack dab on the target btw what level do you have to be to fight him . I haven't. Made it this far I've been working on 4 different types of tales games.
Just finished it tonight. Cried more than i have in such a long time, especially seeing the pictures of velvet and laphicet going on journeys together, and them both embracing
"-Why did Velvet go down in the history as the villain? -Because we had to hate her -She didnt do anything wrong -She's the hero this world deserved, but not the one it needed at that time. That's why we blamed her, because she could take it. Because she is not our hero.. she's the silent guardian, a barrier maiden. The Lord of Calamity"
Oh so you think darkness is your ally? But you merely adapted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. And I didn't see the light until I was already a man by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING!
Kinda interesting to see how, in Velvet's ideal world, Melchior is the only villain who never makes an appearance. Makes sense though, as it was his scheming that caused pretty much the entire plot to begin with. Had he not interfered Velvet's life may very well have been something similar to what we saw in her dream.
Melchior is pretty much THE root cause of so much pain in this game That by all means he's the real main villain He had such a Hero Whorship for the King that he became a extremist, going aganist Claudin's morals and ideals Tortured his Daughter(?) Magilou by literally breaking her heart over and over Experimented on Malakim aganist their wishes or own wills Manipulated Arthur into become the Broken tool he is now And in general caused so much suffering and chaos all for his idea of a Utopia
22:34 This scene is really fill with emotion. Velvet sacrificed herself by being sealed away eternally just for phi to keep being alive and free from innominat. It really show how much velvet love her nephew
@LeonGun8 edit: shit I thought that really was her brother, even when mine who played it before me told me it wasn't him lol that's sooo sad omg my heart bleeding even more WTF this emptiness is widening T_T
Yeah, the Empyreans are just extremely strange in that they literally steal the bodies of the sacrificed individual used to awaken them. In a way the ritual of awakening an EMpyrean is basically giving them a vessel to inhabit.
Most heartwrenching moment for me is when Magilou finally laughs, from the bottom of her heart, she NEVER truly laughed throughout the entire game, and just for a moment, in the post-credits, we see her genuinely happy.
Just likes tales of Zesteria left me crying and feeling empty for over a week, like I had lost a part of myself or lost a family I never had. Tales of Berserias ending had me crying aswell, but it was so good, so... bittersweet, I don't know what I feel, such an emotional turmoil... such a good game.
Oh crap I didn't pay enough attention, you're right well today it made a new victim 😟 the fact the game's over in itself left me feel so empty added to that the shock when I read in the comments that Innominat wasn't Velvet's real brother whom actually never made it back from that pit just stabbed me in the chest..
@@eaglenebula2172 It was, but it also wasn't By the game's logic, a human reencarnating into a seraph doesn't mean the seraph it's the actual human anymore, it's a new being. That said, a seraph in weird cases can recover the memories from his past life, which innominat did, and that may be due to laphicet's resonance and determination, so in a sense, innominat was laphicet, since he view himself as this person and most likely have his memorias from the very first moment he came to life.
I like how they mimic the self sacrificing aspect of this Tales world. Both Sorey and Velvet give up a lifetime of happiness with all of their friends to rest with the last being they fought
Well, they did end up having happiness. Velvet's dreams of having adventures with laphicet and all of his friends is actually nice. And we know Sorey ends up actually waking up when he saves mikleo.
Love how the end credit ost is the theme compilation of your whole party in order Laphicet theme Eleanor theme Rokurou theme Magilou theme Eizen theme Velvet theme
Laphicet gets two big ass reveals. First he's the unborn nephew of Velvet reborn or should i say just born as a malik. Now he takes the place of his main counterpart as the new god. The same god that another hero will fight thousands of years later once being completely corrupted by malevolence. Now it makes sense how zavied knows him and how Lilah fights like him.
@@kinghoronaldlonowong4892 Its basically a spoiler for Tales of Zestiria, the game that came before this one and takes place 1000 years into the future.
I’m surprised I haven’t seen very many comments of just how damn tragic Arthur is. He’s probably my favourite villain as of now because he was clearly meant to be a hero. Instead every life he failed to save took a toll on him, and he blamed himself for it all. I think Arthur is made to be a reflection of what Sorrey risked becoming. Throughout Zesteria you hear all this talk of how dangerous it is to be the Shepherd, and I think Arthur is why. Sure the Shepherd can win just about any fight, but that only leaves themselves to blame should they fail. But Arthur’s death was so strong because even though his actions made him irredeemable, it was all rooted in his desire to protect humanity at any cost. He wanted to suppress humanity because he truly thought it would be the only way to protect humanity. And I guess it doesn’t help that he personally didn’t want to have to suffer the same despair that put him on the path he chose.
I'd like to think that Arthur is actually the Arthur in that dream with Seras being Celica. Seras was still inside Velvet and Arthur's soul may have been hoovered up by Innominat/Laphicet at the end.
Probably one of those villains that somehow touched my heart at the very end. And I like the comparison with Sorey -- he's a really good example of why you shouldn't keep thrusting yourself into the whole saving humanity job without much regard to your own life.
I feel bad for Eisen to this day. Broke my heart knowing from the get-go what would happen to him. To be honest, I have to retroactively like Zestiria more. Without it I would have never loved this game as much as I did.
"As for the Lord of Calamity, no one knows what became of her. Some say that she died of her wounds, others, that she returned to her homeland. But I like to think that she was able to find some small measure of peace that so many of us look for, and most of us... never find."
I love the Tales series, I just think it's funny how almost every final boss has a good point on why they should potentially destroy the planet for a perfect world lol
It would be cool if in a third game Velvet, and the two Laphicets finally get saved and have a normal life as simple humans or malaks/seraphs. Or at least Phi and Velvet, since Laphi actually gave up his life willingly.
Sorey proves throughout zestiria that he can do alot of things that noone in history has been able to such as purify a dragon aka maotelus. I think that the 3rd game can be after he purifies him and maotelus recognizes his power he might petition sorey to save velvet as he's the only one who can due to his power as a shepherd. It will be up to sorey to purify and harness the entire world's malevolence to feed innominat to finally satisfy his never ending hunger making it so that he can save velvet and finally let innominat rest in peace.
Phi turns out to be an integral character for Tales of Zestiria, him leading a normal life would cause a lot of problems. Also, Laphicet and Velvet hold themselves in check. One can't simply return without the other.
Personally, I'd rather let the ending stay as it is. This is what Velvet would've wanted. To be just with her little brother. This bittersweet ending is the message the story's been telling all along - "This feeling is part of being alive. Embrace it and go forward." Because life isn't about making all the best choices. It's about enjoying the process and living with what you've done, whether you can be proud of it in the end. That's what decides whether a life was well lived (this last part was just stolen from another comment)
@@xcx005 "The message the story's been telling all along "This feeling is a part of being alive"" Yep, that indeed does sum up Berseria as a whole perfectly. The number of times they've said it... God
Armatized Artorius is one of the most badass-looking "villains" I have seen in a LONG, long time. Holy Hell I screamed when he transformed in my playthrough.
In Zestiria the Sheppard was the victor but in Berseria the Lord of Calamity remains standing. Guessing if they choose to revisit this particular Universe; they might have the two Winners at odds with one another.
JohnnyTightlips2007 Sorey v Velvet... oh boy, choo choo Sorey, here comes the pain train!!! unfortunately, i can't see it. Velvet has a Shepherd mentality, not a LoC. But Sorey may want her gone just because of her title? i don't know but i do believe Sorey will get pounded in a 1v1, i mean she's a freaking Demi-God!
In fairness it would be difficult to even have that encounter. Velvet has Innominat trapped in a devouring loop so you would need someone from the outside to interrupt it. You would also have to decide who would be playable or maybe have two campaigns (Plus Velvet would need a new team since some of them are dead). I wouldn't mind seeing the attempt but I get that it would be a challenge. Usually why most VS scenarios don't work half of the time.
Maybe when Sorey finishes purifying Maotellus and returns, it brings Velvet and Inominat out by accident. Then a third game in this world leads to the two teaming up to save the world from Inominat and Lunarre.
If they revisit this setting, I want to see King Claudin's journey as a Shepherd or King Meliodes as a Lord of Calamity as stated within the Zestiria Guidance Book.
It could happen in the Zestiria anime. Velvet is in the openings for seasons 1 and 2, has 2 episodes about her escape from Titania in season one, and the Rolance's ruler tells Sorey about Velvet.
The fact that the game's over hurt me even more than the nature of the ending itself which in comparison didn't bother me quite much :( Also I was so surprised when Laphi confessed I was like 'hooolyshit he actually said it' :o so glad he did & Velvet accepting it cuz it's been boiling in my chest for the longest time during the game. I wonder what was her dream about that Phi mentioned at the end of the vid, I thought her wish was something like exploring the world with her brother or being able to live with him or Phi again but that's unlikely to happen given the current situation so was it something to do with mankind & such? Now I'm once again left with that awful feeling of big emptiness within after I just finished the game which I've been playing since January so literally for *HALF A YEAR* but ofc it's because I'm playing at a pace of 1hour everyday with few exceptions (it's part of my resolve to maintain a balance between work & entertainment :) for what I wished would be a total of 100 hours when I finish Innominat but unluckily it got to 98 instead :p well I still have to try out what little extras there're afterward. Damn it I wanna scream so loudly ! This game's been like a part of my life now :'( I really really loved this game til the end it's def gonna stick in my memory for a long time, I just wish I could express my sincere gratitude, support and a ton of praise & respect to the team who made it, really a pure jewel that I didn't expect to enjoy this much when I started it & even less to find in the current era of games. Next destination, FFXV !
First part of the fight: Gaius + Muzét II Second part: Giant version of Duke The final boss was pretty cool although its theme kinda sucks. And yes, the ending is satisfying as sad. Very fitting to the entire game: bittersweet
I like how in Xillia everyone joined the final boss fight one by one and used mystic artes. But I also love how in Berseria you can manually chain all mystic artes. and yeah i was like "huh... reminds me of duke..." when I was fighting him. XD
Artorius does remind me of Duke as far as their ideals go. Although he's not nearly as cool. But for his final form he looks more like the Derris Kharlan angels: Dhaos and Mithos.
Julian H. Isn't the second artorius theme represent artorius' hatred towards humanity's emotions that creates malevolence? That's what the theme was all about.
@Takumi Sato I didn't know you could chain those, I couldn't even proc Laphi's lol wtf @Hecatia Lapislazuli I thought the same bout the theme part when I watched a walkthrough first time, but when I was playing that part it didn't rly matter much
Laphicet: I don't care what happens. Velvet: You can if you wish, but only after you live a full life. I love the fact Velvet acknowledge his desire, but still says to keep on living. I wish there is a final story arc for this. Because Berseria opened a avenue that the true enemy are the ones who place Malevolence. This time Malevolence will be truly gone.
I just realized, Arthur is basically Kratos from Symphonia. They both lost their wife and son before giving up on the world, they get involved in a plan to suppress emotions, they are partially responsible for humans turning into monsters, they work for/with an old being that looks like a child, fight with swords, posses ethereal wings, and lose to a party their sons are on. The only difference is that Kratos lived.
I wish they did since the Tales of Zestiria was pretty bad even thou they had some easter eggs from Berseria, but it would have been nice to explore more of the world in Zestiria.
This game has to be my favourite story by far We don't often see the protagonist as a villain while the antagonist is also a villain yet In a way I realised he wasn't actually evil. Artorius is one of the best written character I have seen because I am a writer. He actually inspired me to write my own villain "Venom". I just love the idea of the bad guys saving the day in a world gone wrong
yo at 4:34, I legit dropped my bowl of food because of that. That transition between cutscene and combat came without warning so I had to quickly grab my controller at the cost of my bowl lmao
I have a question: Since Tales of Berseria is before the other Tales of stories , will Velvet get her redemtion? How will history and myth remember her? As The Lord Calamity the great mad deamon that would destroy the world but thankfully it was stopped or as The Lord of Calamity the sister of Innominat the Supresor who saved the freedom of the people?
there're many Lord of Calamity so people probably not gonna mention her specifically. Eizen and Zaveid took down one and result in Eizen become a dragon (in Zestiria)
so she and her brother are forgoten. right? If thats true then this is a sad ending :( . But who knows Magilou was seen writing a book If Velvet becomes a likeable character then she will be thrown to the bucket of "Cool Characters that will probally return to Hype the fanbase" ! Since she and her brother are Immortals I can totally seen her returning in a future "Tales of" game. I really enjoyed Velvet as a character lets see if she returns.
Throughout this game, I was genuinely furious with Artorius. Like, actually screaming at him angry. So getting to finally take him down was sooooo satisfying ☺️☺️
Such a fantastic game. I really don't know how they can top this one. This is probably my favorite Tales game (Tied with Abyss.), and my favorite Tales cast. Also 25:40 Fuckin' agreed Magilou. The Empyreans need to get it the fuck together.
exactly what i was thinking, i couldn't say which one'd be better story from berseria was a bit better than abyss, but abyss's combat reigns supreme imo
Phi is Maotelus so he IS alive. He almost died in Zestiria but Sorey saved him. Laphi and Velvet are also alive too, just sealed away in a form of permanent feeding cycle. And most Therions went back to normal but any Daemon/Hellion that enjoys the feel of malevolence in their soul (like Rokurou) can't be purified. It'similar to how Sorey couldn't purify high level Hellions in Zestiria because they were too tainted by malevolence. I might also point out thar Velvet is still a Therion.
Technically Heldalf's plot is independent of Maotelus' corruption. Maotelus was corrupted by the war between Heldalf's Rolance Army the the Hyland Army led by unnamed individuals. Though indeed it was the God of Calamity'splot to merge with the corrupted Maotelus, but that's just a side-plot. Fromthe very start the true end goal of Sorey'sjourney was going to be the purification of Maotelus himself, as Heldalf was just a distraction. Sorey just took too long and the goal of freeing Maotelus and defeating Heldalf ended up coinciding with one another.
I played all available Tale of games in America and tbh this if the first game where I felt the party was an actual group of friends that cared about each other.
I remember the first time I fought this boss, I was so fired up by the fight in the cinmatic but once it ended and the real thing started it just wipe out my party like nothing, it took me a lot of effort to defeat this boss.
OverlordFlinx Hey, Xillia is not a bad Tales game. DotNW is...less than its insanely amazing predecessor, but it’s still not horrible. And honestly the only really bad thing about Zestiria is the combat. I haven’t played Legendia so I can’t speak on that one.
Fireice2929 Differing opinions I suppose. Because Xillia was the worst of the titles I played (only beaten by Tales of Symphonia 2). Legendia's greatest sin was being so painfully boring and long winded as well as having a cool but horribly executed weight system for throwing enemies around. Again, it's differing opinions, and I respect that you liked Xillia; but I just could not stand it when the credits started to roll.
It's fitting I actually played shadow of war before this The world can't be ruled with daemons or malakims only There must a counterbalance like shelob said Also velvet and laphi reminds me of the eye at the ending of SOW
I don't get it. I'm on the last boss and they literally wipe my team in seconds. I'm playing on insane difficulty but every battle before this was really easy...
This is what happened to me yesterday in Chaos. Use an All Divide. Have Velvet focus on Innominant and stun him as much as possible. the second you get him out of the way the fight is easy. Funny, this game was super easy until this last fight, even on a high difficulty.
What level did you tackle him on Chaos mode? I was planning newgame+ on chaos mode. Kinda disappointed to hear the game is easy up until the last fight again.
Well, there are ways in which it can get difficult for sure. when you have dangerous encounters, or fight Jude and Milla. However, regular game isn't too tough. I believe i was on Lvl 90, and I used an All Divide otherwise they instantly wiped me.
You knowthe ending has me thinking what is save me the Nother till the Missouri game but but it would be like a world where Arthur didn’t want to get rid of all dispair Good still be demons of course but still
Its interesting how Xillia 2 is called the "Dark Tales of" because it has no happy ending and is in general pretty dark in what happen and what you do. But is Berseria/Zestiria any diferent really ? BERSERIA: - We lose our sister and her unborn child - We get sacrificed by our brother in law including our real brother - We give a crap about humanity in pursuit of Artorius - Artorius does not even know that our Laphi is his unborn child and fights him to the dead and wants to sacrefice him again - We are sealed forever eating our own brother while he eats us IN BETWEEN: - Nothing changed and a new Lord of Calamity arised (which this time really is an evil being) - The Shepard gets killed and Eizen turn into a Dragon out of despair eating and killing the Lord of Calamity - Zaveid loses his best friend and Edna her brother at this day and Zaveid determined to keep his promised he made in Berseria....killing and feeing him. ZESTIRIA: - A new Lord gets born because of War and hatred. The current Shepard used his own Son as sacrifice to curse and turn Heldalf into what we know him for - Laphi is already sick and weak because of the constand cleansing making it easy for Heldalf to take him and use him - Zaveid and Edna kill Eizen - The last Meiven goes from us - We kill our own Grandpa while he was forcefully fused with Heldalf - Sorey froze himself and Maotelus in time to cleanse him - When Sorey returned everyone he knew of course was already dead....for a long time. Except the Seraphim THE TRUTH: - Its just a game,a bet between Zeraphim - Its rigged the Zeraphim on earth cant win - Malevolence cant be eradicated -The circle will always repead The only way for an happy end is opening the gate to heaven and fight the heavenly Seraphim who cursed our Zeraphim and humanity. Sadly the door can only be opened from heaven so we cant win....never. I mean how isnt that a " Dark Tales of " ? This is even darker then Xillia 2 when youre being honest. There never was a happy ending in both games and both are pretty dark however in Xillia 2 we at least got a chance to change the world depending on the wish we make. In Berseria/Zestiria there is no chance not even the real villains are ever shown nor to we even get the chance of kicking their ass. Berseria/Zestiria is rigged from start to finish its only a matter of time until Mankind loses even if it takes millenia. I know most people hated Zestiria for some reason but looking at both games together the story isnt bad people just didnt understand it.
@@kevinzhong7493 Ah yes yuore right. Its a while back implayed and this short flashback scene was a little clouded. Its kinda sad tho that our sidekick gets a really epic backstory while Sorey....well.....hes just Sorey. Would have been funny if he turned out to be Heldalfs son and Heldalf didnt know about him or something like that.
so wait let me get this straight berseria takes place before or after zestiria cause im greatly confused velvet became a lord of calamity so wtf happened exactly
Berseria is before Zestiria. Velvet became the first lord of calamity (actually it's a bit more complicated. She invented the term "lord of calamity" but after that the term was retroactively applied to earlier demons)
thanks for this, back in 2017, i didnt manage to complete this game until now. Ive changed my laptop several of times so i guess i already lost the save file. but knowing how it ends is already satisfying. 2024 December, this felt really obsolete, but at least I have a closure with the story. Haha. I can see now how it connects with zestiria, a game that i completed in 2016.
Well Yggdrasil and Artorius have a lot in common. One wants to turn everyone into lifeless beings to erase discrimination while the other wish to suppress all emotions to eradicate malevolence. Honestly, I can see the connection.
So I got a question about there needing to be a new Empyrean. Why couldn't Eizen do it? He's also a Malak with plenty of strength and power and able to take on Inominat like the rest of the party. And plus his only alternative is for him to eventually turn into a dragon and lose all sense of who he is. Laphicet on the other hand is just a kid. He had his whole life ahead of him, and he threw it away with seemingly no consideration. Maybe I'm thinking more about what I want for the characters than anything else, and I guess it kind of fit Laphicet's character to make that decision, but I don't know if he really made the right choice. And yeah, I know the Empyreans accepted Laphicet partly due to him being a part of Inominat, but they never specified before that anyone had to be. But also it would've made sense for Eizen, him sacrificing his original form so that he can save the world and also save himself from his tragic fate of becoming a dragon.
I just finished the game and I very much agree with what you wrote. I’d rather Eizen take the roll because he has the qualifications. It’s better than becoming a dragon Eizen😭😭😭
@@CoolLatiasLatios I asked some other people about it. They brought up the reaper's curse. I'm sure the planet would be absolutely fucked if Eizen did something like that now that I think of it.
Great. 11:37: An other Dhaos-clone. Let's see... We already have Sekundes, Yggdrasill and Chronos. This isn't a bad thing but it would be nicer if you can beat him with Laphicets Indignation.
Gonna be honest didn’t like the ending the first time. Now at the end of a second playthrough and after playing the inferior Zestiria, I can say this probably the ending Velvet deserves. She hurt a great many people several she didn’t have to in her quest. Though there is one part I still don’t like seriously did they have to be naked during the credits feels like I should be put on a list for having that on screen.
I always thought Mila and JUde were tales take on Lightning and Snow (female and a male fist fighter) But after seeing Eizen, I now realize he was the take on Snow. Also I wonder who is tougher, Rukoro or Eizen.
LeonomusPrime Snow has a personality. You may not like it but that's your opinion. Plus you are probably a follow the crowd no think for yourself type person.
Why, because I personally hate Snow with a passion? I;ve played through and beaten all three of the 13 games, I think I have the right to formulate that opinion without the help of others. Though, that aside, I think it's kind of asinine to assume Tales was just copying FF characters to begin with.
LeonomusPrime ok i can agree with that. but I never said "copied" more of an "inspired" people can take inspiration and not copy. Eizen is a fist fight with a black trench coat and medium legntg straight hair. but personality wayyyy different. so not a copied character. but def an inspiration to work with.
I really don't agree with him even being an inspired character. By that logic Jude and every other fist fighting character with a trenchcoat is inspired by snow, but hey, if that's what you see, that's what you see.
i'm not that into the tale of series but... isn't savage wolf fury someone else's special? can't remember his name now... the protagonist of vesperia i think, is that something or is normal for random people in different games having the same special?
Alot of tales protagonists tend to share artes (see fang blade, demon fang , stone dragon ascent.) However, I think the fandom mostly agrees that Artorius straight up Jacked Yuri Lowels' Mystic arte.
Well, that's mainly because while yes, lots of characters share arts, all of the characters tend to have their own unique mystic artes with the exception of cameo mystic arts, which tend to be non canon dlc extras anyhow.
If there's anything i learned, its that this game just loves playing with your emotions
Infact this game is all about emotions in humanity
I am still dead inside after this game (cant live anymore)
@@lordstingray8341 just finished it today and I feel you
That it does but what tales game doesn't however this one hits your emotions smack dab on the target btw what level do you have to be to fight him . I haven't. Made it this far I've been working on 4 different types of tales games.
Just finished it tonight. Cried more than i have in such a long time, especially seeing the pictures of velvet and laphicet going on journeys together, and them both embracing

the world would have been full of unstoppable deamons.
@@XElhirrimX and Innominat would have probably « wipe the slate clean »
I didn't see Zavied either
Melchior is pretty much THE root cause of so much pain in this game
That by all means he's the real main villain
He had such a Hero Whorship for the King that he became a extremist, going aganist Claudin's morals and ideals
Tortured his Daughter(?) Magilou by literally breaking her heart over and over
Experimented on Malakim aganist their wishes or own wills
Manipulated Arthur into become the Broken tool he is now
And in general caused so much suffering and chaos all for his idea of a Utopia
Melchior is the biggest asshole in this game
22:34 This scene is really fill with emotion. Velvet sacrificed herself by being sealed away eternally just for phi to keep being alive and free from innominat. It really show how much velvet love her nephew
I like how you hear the voices of the legates as the awakened gods.
Oscar. Teresa, Melchior, and Shigure
Yeah that was definitely a nice touch.
Victor Venokur it's because they were the sacrifices to awaken them, right?
Basically yes. Just like Innominat looks like Laphicet because it was awakened by Laphicet.
@LeonGun8 edit: shit I thought that really was her brother, even when mine who played it before me told me it wasn't him lol that's sooo sad omg my heart bleeding even more WTF this emptiness is widening T_T
Yeah, the Empyreans are just extremely strange in that they literally steal the bodies of the sacrificed individual used to awaken them. In a way the ritual of awakening an EMpyrean is basically giving them a vessel to inhabit.
Dyle is shockingly handsome as a human. I'll miss his lizard face with its adorable bloosh, but not as much as Kurogane's shoulder bloosh.
Couldn't agree more
What if the silver flame turned Kurogane back into a human? a sword made of bone and flesh
And that handsome face marries Medissa and adopts Kamoana
Arthur Mystic Arte: "With a single stroke..." *proceeds to strike as many times as he possibly can*
No hes just traveling around the globe repeatedly.
He’s going so fast that it looks like he’s hitting you multiple times lolol
really wanted to cement the idea that he likes a bit of flair
When you realize Alphen English VA voice Artorious and Magilou English VA voice Shionne
whaaattttttttt
Yeah it’s almost like voice actors play more than one role
Ray Chase and Erica Lindbeck are veteran VAs at this point. They work together on a lot of stuff because they get those higher profile roles.
Most heartwrenching moment for me is when Magilou finally laughs, from the bottom of her heart, she NEVER truly laughed throughout the entire game, and just for a moment, in the post-credits, we see her genuinely happy.
Yep. She also got deeper as the game went on, showing that she wasn't total the bitch she fronted. She actually genuinely cared
Just likes tales of Zesteria left me crying and feeling empty for over a week, like I had lost a part of myself or lost a family I never had.
Tales of Berserias ending had me crying aswell, but it was so good, so... bittersweet, I don't know what I feel, such an emotional turmoil... such a good game.
Joakim Figaro I feel the same bro, it hurts my heart so badly
The scene in the credits where Phi is looking at Velvet and Laphicet just killed me
Jurica Eršek it hurt my soul man
same
Oh crap I didn't pay enough attention, you're right well today it made a new victim 😟 the fact the game's over in itself left me feel so empty added to that the shock when I read in the comments that Innominat wasn't Velvet's real brother whom actually never made it back from that pit just stabbed me in the chest..
@@eaglenebula2172 It was, but it also wasn't
By the game's logic, a human reencarnating into a seraph doesn't mean the seraph it's the actual human anymore, it's a new being.
That said, a seraph in weird cases can recover the memories from his past life, which innominat did, and that may be due to laphicet's resonance and determination, so in a sense, innominat was laphicet, since he view himself as this person and most likely have his memorias from the very first moment he came to life.
@@RSTLegacy he's more like a clone with Laphi's memories than the continuation of the latter's being.
In other words he isn't Laphi.
I like how they mimic the self sacrificing aspect of this Tales world. Both Sorey and Velvet give up a lifetime of happiness with all of their friends to rest with the last being they fought
Well, they did end up having happiness.
Velvet's dreams of having adventures with laphicet and all of his friends is actually nice.
And we know Sorey ends up actually waking up when he saves mikleo.
@@RSTLegacy Maybe Velvet will be released from eternal devouring. Tales of Berseria 2.
@@diaochan7506 Nah they wont go back to Berseria
Love how the end credit ost is the theme compilation of your whole party in order
Laphicet theme
Eleanor theme
Rokurou theme
Magilou theme
Eizen theme
Velvet theme
Laphicet gets two big ass reveals. First he's the unborn nephew of Velvet reborn or should i say just born as a malik. Now he takes the place of his main counterpart as the new god. The same god that another hero will fight thousands of years later once being completely corrupted by malevolence. Now it makes sense how zavied knows him and how Lilah fights like him.
Lee 24 wow I didn’t know
Lailah fights like him since both of them are fire elemental
@@kinghoronaldlonowong4892 also shes Celica's and Seles' second reincarnation.
Terozu where did you find this information
@@kinghoronaldlonowong4892 Its basically a spoiler for Tales of Zestiria, the game that came before this one and takes place 1000 years into the future.
I’m surprised I haven’t seen very many comments of just how damn tragic Arthur is. He’s probably my favourite villain as of now because he was clearly meant to be a hero. Instead every life he failed to save took a toll on him, and he blamed himself for it all. I think Arthur is made to be a reflection of what Sorrey risked becoming. Throughout Zesteria you hear all this talk of how dangerous it is to be the Shepherd, and I think Arthur is why. Sure the Shepherd can win just about any fight, but that only leaves themselves to blame should they fail.
But Arthur’s death was so strong because even though his actions made him irredeemable, it was all rooted in his desire to protect humanity at any cost. He wanted to suppress humanity because he truly thought it would be the only way to protect humanity. And I guess it doesn’t help that he personally didn’t want to have to suffer the same despair that put him on the path he chose.
I never viewed him as the villain tbh... I always assume melchior orchestrated the whole thing
I'd like to think that Arthur is actually the Arthur in that dream with Seras being Celica. Seras was still inside Velvet and Arthur's soul may have been hoovered up by Innominat/Laphicet at the end.
I see Arthur almost like Van in Abyss.
He have good intention but in extreme way. For now, Van still my fav Villain.
Probably one of those villains that somehow touched my heart at the very end. And I like the comparison with Sorey -- he's a really good example of why you shouldn't keep thrusting yourself into the whole saving humanity job without much regard to your own life.
@@xXasd012xX He was a tragic villain,he tried to save humanity while also giving up on it and "forcing" humanity to be saved
Artorius in the entire game: *calm*.
Artorius at the end: STOP STRUGGLING!
I feel bad for Eisen to this day. Broke my heart knowing from the get-go what would happen to him. To be honest, I have to retroactively like Zestiria more. Without it I would have never loved this game as much as I did.
"As for the Lord of Calamity, no one knows what became of her.
Some say that she died of her wounds, others, that she returned to her homeland.
But I like to think that she was able to find some small measure of peace that so many of us look for, and most of us...
never find."
Lol nice copy from The Last Samurai
I love the Tales series, I just think it's funny how almost every final boss has a good point on why they should potentially destroy the planet for a perfect world lol
Ruvik Victoriano A world only for my sister and me
Every tales game
Villain: A world reborn without pain or suffering
Heroes: WE LIKE PAIN! IT REMINDS US WE'RE ALIVE!
Arthur's probably the exception. His plan was toxic af.
The slides with their happy journey just...wrecked me, I was in literal tears.
It would be cool if in a third game Velvet, and the two Laphicets finally get saved and have a normal life as simple humans or malaks/seraphs. Or at least Phi and Velvet, since Laphi actually gave up his life willingly.
Sorey proves throughout zestiria that he can do alot of things that noone in history has been able to such as purify a dragon aka maotelus. I think that the 3rd game can be after he purifies him and maotelus recognizes his power he might petition sorey to save velvet as he's the only one who can due to his power as a shepherd. It will be up to sorey to purify and harness the entire world's malevolence to feed innominat to finally satisfy his never ending hunger making it so that he can save velvet and finally let innominat rest in peace.
Phi turns out to be an integral character for Tales of Zestiria, him leading a normal life would cause a lot of problems. Also, Laphicet and Velvet hold themselves in check. One can't simply return without the other.
Personally, I'd rather let the ending stay as it is. This is what Velvet would've wanted. To be just with her little brother. This bittersweet ending is the message the story's been telling all along - "This feeling is part of being alive. Embrace it and go forward." Because life isn't about making all the best choices. It's about enjoying the process and living with what you've done, whether you can be proud of it in the end. That's what decides whether a life was well lived (this last part was just stolen from another comment)
@@xcx005 "The message the story's been telling all along
"This feeling is a part of being alive""
Yep, that indeed does sum up Berseria as a whole perfectly.
The number of times they've said it... God
Armatized Artorius is one of the most badass-looking "villains" I have seen in a LONG, long time. Holy Hell I screamed when he transformed in my playthrough.
man, around 23:41 , Velvet goes into Riven mode with her voice acting.
I doubted Christina Vee as Velvet but let's just say she proved me VERY wrong.
In Zestiria the Sheppard was the victor but in Berseria the Lord of Calamity remains standing. Guessing if they choose to revisit this particular Universe; they might have the two Winners at odds with one another.
JohnnyTightlips2007 Sorey v Velvet... oh boy, choo choo Sorey, here comes the pain train!!!
unfortunately, i can't see it. Velvet has a Shepherd mentality, not a LoC. But Sorey may want her gone just because of her title? i don't know but i do believe Sorey will get pounded in a 1v1, i mean she's a freaking Demi-God!
In fairness it would be difficult to even have that encounter. Velvet has Innominat trapped in a devouring loop so you would need someone from the outside to interrupt it. You would also have to decide who would be playable or maybe have two campaigns (Plus Velvet would need a new team since some of them are dead). I wouldn't mind seeing the attempt but I get that it would be a challenge. Usually why most VS scenarios don't work half of the time.
Maybe when Sorey finishes purifying Maotellus and returns, it brings Velvet and Inominat out by accident.
Then a third game in this world leads to the two teaming up to save the world from Inominat and Lunarre.
If they revisit this setting, I want to see King Claudin's journey as a Shepherd or King Meliodes as a Lord of Calamity as stated within the Zestiria Guidance Book.
It could happen in the Zestiria anime. Velvet is in the openings for seasons 1 and 2, has 2 episodes about her escape from Titania in season one, and the Rolance's ruler tells Sorey about Velvet.
Damm. I really wanted a happy ending for Velvet.
she never was going to have a happy ending
In her case, I believe it was a happy end for her.
This is happy ending for velvet. Velvet only wants to live with her brother
@@mr.x2205 yeah pretty much
@@mr.x2205 yeah I dont know this shitty crap game, but Velvet this biatch looks very happy!
This still makes me cry. I feel for Artorius. I feel for Velvet, argh I feel for them all.
It took me a while to realize that the emperyons had the voices of Oscar, Teresa, shigure, and Melchoir
I think they beong used as the vessel for 4 empyreans to awaken by Velvet.
The fact that the game's over hurt me even more than the nature of the ending itself which in comparison didn't bother me quite much :(
Also I was so surprised when Laphi confessed I was like 'hooolyshit he actually said it' :o so glad he did & Velvet accepting it cuz it's been boiling in my chest for the longest time during the game. I wonder what was her dream about that Phi mentioned at the end of the vid, I thought her wish was something like exploring the world with her brother or being able to live with him or Phi again but that's unlikely to happen given the current situation so was it something to do with mankind & such?
Now I'm once again left with that awful feeling of big emptiness within after I just finished the game which I've been playing since January so literally for *HALF A YEAR* but ofc it's because I'm playing at a pace of 1hour everyday with few exceptions (it's part of my resolve to maintain a balance between work & entertainment :) for what I wished would be a total of 100 hours when I finish Innominat but unluckily it got to 98 instead :p well I still have to try out what little extras there're afterward.
Damn it I wanna scream so loudly ! This game's been like a part of my life now :'(
I really really loved this game til the end it's def gonna stick in my memory for a long time, I just wish I could express my sincere gratitude, support and a ton of praise & respect to the team who made it, really a pure jewel that I didn't expect to enjoy this much when I started it & even less to find in the current era of games. Next destination, FFXV !
First part of the fight: Gaius + Muzét II
Second part: Giant version of Duke
The final boss was pretty cool although its theme kinda sucks.
And yes, the ending is satisfying as sad. Very fitting to the entire game: bittersweet
I like how in Xillia everyone joined the final boss fight one by one and used mystic artes. But I also love how in Berseria you can manually chain all mystic artes. and yeah i was like "huh... reminds me of duke..." when I was fighting him. XD
Magillanica Lou Mayvin this fight more reminds me of van than duke
Artorius does remind me of Duke as far as their ideals go. Although he's not nearly as cool. But for his final form he looks more like the Derris Kharlan angels: Dhaos and Mithos.
Julian H. Isn't the second artorius theme represent artorius' hatred towards humanity's emotions that creates malevolence? That's what the theme was all about.
@Takumi Sato
I didn't know you could chain those, I couldn't even proc Laphi's lol wtf
@Hecatia Lapislazuli I thought the same bout the theme part when I watched a walkthrough first time, but when I was playing that part it didn't rly matter much
Laphicet: I don't care what happens.
Velvet: You can if you wish, but only after you live a full life.
I love the fact Velvet acknowledge his desire, but still says to keep on living.
I wish there is a final story arc for this. Because Berseria opened a avenue that the true enemy are the ones who place Malevolence.
This time Malevolence will be truly gone.
20:52 - Me at 3 AM
I just realized, Arthur is basically Kratos from Symphonia. They both lost their wife and son before giving up on the world, they get involved in a plan to suppress emotions, they are partially responsible for humans turning into monsters, they work for/with an old being that looks like a child, fight with swords, posses ethereal wings, and lose to a party their sons are on. The only difference is that Kratos lived.
So, it seems the writers needed to remember that copying and pasting plot points from their previous games is not a good thing.
I drop the biggest f bomb when Laphicet said he was Maotelus when I played.
Kylioken Same omg
I suspected it when I saw the mystic arte video before the game came out here... T_T
I almost flipped the table with my foot when I first played the game.
Kylioken I don't know what significance that name has.
SAME, I was playing Zestiria when watching this video. I was like..."DAMN WHAAAT?"
I hope they make a third game of this story. We must save Velvet!! :D
I wish they did since the Tales of Zestiria was pretty bad even thou they had some easter eggs from Berseria, but it would have been nice to explore more of the world in Zestiria.
@@agamersinsanity Zetstria was released before Berseria.
@@maythesciencebewithyou i know :p
Tales of Wisteria... 1000 year after Tales of Zestiria...
This game has to be my favourite story by far
We don't often see the protagonist as a villain while the antagonist is also a villain yet In a way I realised he wasn't actually evil. Artorius is one of the best written character I have seen because I am a writer. He actually inspired me to write my own villain "Venom". I just love the idea of the bad guys saving the day in a world gone wrong
I wish they continue this world's story.
This is my first Tales game and it did not disappoint me.
The roller coaster of emotions was epic.
They do. Zestiria and Berseria.
I think 2 games of the same world is enough. Any more and it overstays their welcome.
these credits always get to me
the world without any malevolence to ruin the lives of everyone
I was already pumped for this but that fight scene befor it takes it to a new level
yo at 4:34, I legit dropped my bowl of food because of that. That transition between cutscene and combat came without warning so I had to quickly grab my controller at the cost of my bowl lmao
you know, i was way too hard on this game, and the final boss of this game is one of the best i've seen of the tales series so far
Old man Griffith VS Sexy female Guts
(This fight was hell in Intense though)
If they do crazy jumps while screaming "HEYYYAHH" yeah, it's anime
Phi : I love you !
Velvet : Thank you
Damn that must have hurt 😂
and I thought Jack Sparrow was cruel
She said thank you … I love you too 🥹Phi!❤
Always there's Stage 2 in every Final Boss Fight...
Such a sad ending to a fantastic game.
Agreed
That was an epic entrance to the final battle with Artorious!!
I have a question: Since Tales of Berseria is before the other Tales of stories , will Velvet get her redemtion? How will history and myth remember her? As The Lord Calamity the great mad deamon that would destroy the world but thankfully it was stopped or as The Lord of Calamity the sister of Innominat the Supresor who saved the freedom of the people?
there're many Lord of Calamity so people probably not gonna mention her specifically. Eizen and Zaveid took down one and result in Eizen become a dragon (in Zestiria)
so she and her brother are forgoten. right? If thats true then this is a sad ending :( . But who knows Magilou was seen writing a book If Velvet becomes a likeable character then she will be thrown to the bucket of "Cool Characters that will probally return to Hype the fanbase" ! Since she and her brother are Immortals I can totally seen her returning in a future "Tales of" game. I really enjoyed Velvet as a character lets see if she returns.
but one thing is certain this game got into the "Tales of" universe!
nah, it's only a prequel to Zestiria. other Tales games set in a different universe.
Mophinz Woops :( . Well we could always get a Sequel! Right?
It seems with every Tales game, a hole is left in my heart by the time I complete it
playing through this game
phi deserves a Oscar
Mabye if theres another game, we might be able to see what happened to Velvet.
My gift to the world.... Apple. :3
....Which turns into cider... He knew what he was doing :3
im still waiting for my apple lol
I... Did i miss something? I don't remember any apples turning into cinder in tales of :S
But I want Grape gel.... cheapskake gods..
And then... The iPod was first created
awesome video and epic battle fight! Watched this particular scene more than once and a nice ending to the storyline
Throughout this game, I was genuinely furious with Artorius. Like, actually screaming at him angry. So getting to finally take him down was sooooo satisfying ☺️☺️
Such a fantastic game. I really don't know how they can top this one. This is probably my favorite Tales game (Tied with Abyss.), and my favorite Tales cast.
Also 25:40 Fuckin' agreed Magilou. The Empyreans need to get it the fuck together.
exactly what i was thinking, i couldn't say which one'd be better
story from berseria was a bit better than abyss, but abyss's combat reigns supreme imo
Unicorn of War masterpiece
Didn't they keep the balance when they were awake? I think that's their job.
i know want to see a sequel to tales of Zestria with Sorey breaking the endless cycle.
me too
Doesn that mean though that maotelus will die if the cycle breaks? If so it kinda sounds interesting as concept material
@@bloodraptorite They want sorey or someone else to find a solution to that problem so everyone can live a happy life at the end.
Not all endings are happy, great game and a hell of a story.
Farewell, velvet you taught us that revenge will consume and corrupt.
So Laphi became Maotelus and purified all the malevolence including the therions. So that means the therions is no longer part of Innominat?
The therions aren't, Laphi probably still is.
Phi is Maotelus so he IS alive. He almost died in Zestiria but Sorey saved him. Laphi and Velvet are also alive too, just sealed away in a form of permanent feeding cycle. And most Therions went back to normal but any Daemon/Hellion that enjoys the feel of malevolence in their soul (like Rokurou) can't be purified. It'similar to how Sorey couldn't purify high level Hellions in Zestiria because they were too tainted by malevolence.
I might also point out thar Velvet is still a Therion.
I think Velvet owes Sorey a big thanks for saving Phi from the God of Calamity Heldalf.
Technically Heldalf's plot is independent of Maotelus' corruption. Maotelus was corrupted by the war between Heldalf's Rolance Army the the Hyland Army led by unnamed individuals. Though indeed it was the God of Calamity'splot to merge with the corrupted Maotelus, but that's just a side-plot. Fromthe very start the true end goal of Sorey'sjourney was going to be the purification of Maotelus himself, as Heldalf was just a distraction. Sorey just took too long and the goal of freeing Maotelus and defeating Heldalf ended up coinciding with one another.
I refused to turn down the hardest difficulty for the impossible final boss so this is my resolution..Feels better than changing the difficulty
I played all available Tale of games in America and tbh this if the first game where I felt the party was an actual group of friends that cared about each other.
You didn't feel that way with vesperia??
@@xsirenflyx I played this before Vesp. But I more or less felt the same way. Kinda
Ok....Had to pause the video and say I FUCKING LOVED THIS TALES OF!!!! :D
Um, guys. Tales of Berseria. On the Switch?
*Shut up and take my money!*
I remember the first time I fought this boss, I was so fired up by the fight in the cinmatic but once it ended and the real thing started it just wipe out my party like nothing, it took me a lot of effort to defeat this boss.
Namco: We heard you enjoyed the romance between Milla and Jude. Well, how about we widen the age gap and make the boy even younger?
Date Masamune that's her brother
***** I was talking about Laphicet and Velvet.
Phi's technically, like, her nephew
singoflovesongs That doesn't make it any better.
still not a romance
i need tales of berseria 2
It's called Tales of Zestiria...
LeonomusPrime Tales Of Zestira currently holds the trophy for worst 3D tales game
The Renegade Gamer So I guess you didn't play Xillia, Symphonia 2, or Legendia.
OverlordFlinx Hey, Xillia is not a bad Tales game. DotNW is...less than its insanely amazing predecessor, but it’s still not horrible. And honestly the only really bad thing about Zestiria is the combat. I haven’t played Legendia so I can’t speak on that one.
Fireice2929 Differing opinions I suppose. Because Xillia was the worst of the titles I played (only beaten by Tales of Symphonia 2). Legendia's greatest sin was being so painfully boring and long winded as well as having a cool but horribly executed weight system for throwing enemies around. Again, it's differing opinions, and I respect that you liked Xillia; but I just could not stand it when the credits started to roll.
I admit I teared up when Laphicet ate the apple...
It's fitting I actually played shadow of war before this
The world can't be ruled with daemons or malakims only
There must a counterbalance like shelob said
Also velvet and laphi reminds me of the eye at the ending of SOW
I don't get it. I'm on the last boss and they literally wipe my team in seconds. I'm playing on insane difficulty but every battle before this was really easy...
This is what happened to me yesterday in Chaos. Use an All Divide. Have Velvet focus on Innominant and stun him as much as possible. the second you get him out of the way the fight is easy. Funny, this game was super easy until this last fight, even on a high difficulty.
What level did you tackle him on Chaos mode? I was planning newgame+ on chaos mode. Kinda disappointed to hear the game is easy up until the last fight again.
Well, there are ways in which it can get difficult for sure. when you have dangerous encounters, or fight Jude and Milla. However, regular game isn't too tough. I believe i was on Lvl 90, and I used an All Divide otherwise they instantly wiped me.
i played intense mode too and i know what you feel buddy
Velvet got my mad respect for what she did to author. Such a bad a female protagonist. Something I've always wanted. This game granted my wish.
You mean badass?
Now that I think about it, Velvet is a lot like Lelouch from Code Geas.
Except Velvet is hot
@@Kefkaownsall Lelouch too lol
3rd installation LoC and Shepard teams up. Aprils coming
You knowthe ending has me thinking what is save me the Nother till the Missouri game but but it would be like a world where Arthur didn’t want to get rid of all dispair Good still be demons of course but still
Igniz? Is that you? What you doing in Tales of Berseria instead of KOF?
Eizen venom striked Artorius' last chance for children
Fucking love that headbutt.
Its interesting how Xillia 2 is called the "Dark Tales of" because it has no happy ending and is in general pretty dark in what happen and what you do. But is Berseria/Zestiria any diferent really ?
BERSERIA:
- We lose our sister and her unborn child
- We get sacrificed by our brother in law including our real brother
- We give a crap about humanity in pursuit of Artorius
- Artorius does not even know that our Laphi is his unborn child and fights him to the dead and wants to sacrefice him again
- We are sealed forever eating our own brother while he eats us
IN BETWEEN:
- Nothing changed and a new Lord of Calamity arised (which this time really is an evil being)
- The Shepard gets killed and Eizen turn into a Dragon out of despair eating and killing the Lord of Calamity
- Zaveid loses his best friend and Edna her brother at this day and Zaveid determined to keep his promised he made in Berseria....killing and feeing him.
ZESTIRIA:
- A new Lord gets born because of War and hatred. The current Shepard used his own Son as sacrifice to curse and turn Heldalf into what we know him for
- Laphi is already sick and weak because of the constand cleansing making it easy for Heldalf to take him and use him
- Zaveid and Edna kill Eizen
- The last Meiven goes from us
- We kill our own Grandpa while he was forcefully fused with Heldalf
- Sorey froze himself and Maotelus in time to cleanse him
- When Sorey returned everyone he knew of course was already dead....for a long time. Except the Seraphim
THE TRUTH:
- Its just a game,a bet between Zeraphim
- Its rigged the Zeraphim on earth cant win
- Malevolence cant be eradicated
-The circle will always repead
The only way for an happy end is opening the gate to heaven and fight the heavenly Seraphim who cursed our Zeraphim and humanity. Sadly the door can only be opened from heaven so we cant win....never.
I mean how isnt that a " Dark Tales of " ? This is even darker then Xillia 2 when youre being honest. There never was a happy ending in both games and both are pretty dark however in Xillia 2 we at least got a chance to change the world depending on the wish we make. In Berseria/Zestiria there is no chance not even the real villains are ever shown nor to we even get the chance of kicking their ass. Berseria/Zestiria is rigged from start to finish its only a matter of time until Mankind loses even if it takes millenia. I know most people hated Zestiria for some reason but looking at both games together the story isnt bad people just didnt understand it.
Mikleo isnt the son but nephew. Previous shepherd is single
@@kevinzhong7493
Ah yes yuore right.
Its a while back implayed and this short flashback scene was a little clouded.
Its kinda sad tho that our sidekick gets a really epic backstory while Sorey....well.....hes just Sorey. Would have been funny if he turned out to be Heldalfs son and Heldalf didnt know about him or something like that.
so wait let me get this straight berseria takes place before or after zestiria cause im greatly confused velvet became a lord of calamity so wtf happened exactly
Berseria is before Zestiria. Velvet became the first lord of calamity (actually it's a bit more complicated. She invented the term "lord of calamity" but after that the term was retroactively applied to earlier demons)
GamerIncognito Lord of Calamity was the title given to her wasn't it? She just went along with it.
thanks for this, back in 2017, i didnt manage to complete this game until now. Ive changed my laptop several of times so i guess i already lost the save file. but knowing how it ends is already satisfying. 2024 December, this felt really obsolete, but at least I have a closure with the story. Haha. I can see now how it connects with zestiria, a game that i completed in 2016.
Well luckily we got a good shepherd !!! on that Era!!
God darnit Takumi he just had to go beserk even on Birthday playthrough
anyone else think that the second phase looks like your fighting yggdrasil from tales of symphonia
yup I was actually looking to see if anyone posted this, looks just like him
Coincidence? I think not :^)
Ryan Bruce I’m 99% sure that it was a direct throwback, even the color of his “wings” is the same.
Disco Lord Artorius.
Well Yggdrasil and Artorius have a lot in common. One wants to turn everyone into lifeless beings to erase discrimination while the other wish to suppress all emotions to eradicate malevolence.
Honestly, I can see the connection.
i love you too phi.....no wait....do we mean we love each other as.....like....adults? or....as brother and sister?
Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking at that part 😄
I think honestly the difference between Phi and Laphiset is Velvet sees the latter as her son
what is Magilou writing in her book at the end
I feel like this is gonna happen in Tekken 8 where both Jin and Kazuya will hug, float in the air and become naked for some reason
I cried so hard.
So I got a question about there needing to be a new Empyrean. Why couldn't Eizen do it? He's also a Malak with plenty of strength and power and able to take on Inominat like the rest of the party. And plus his only alternative is for him to eventually turn into a dragon and lose all sense of who he is. Laphicet on the other hand is just a kid. He had his whole life ahead of him, and he threw it away with seemingly no consideration. Maybe I'm thinking more about what I want for the characters than anything else, and I guess it kind of fit Laphicet's character to make that decision, but I don't know if he really made the right choice. And yeah, I know the Empyreans accepted Laphicet partly due to him being a part of Inominat, but they never specified before that anyone had to be. But also it would've made sense for Eizen, him sacrificing his original form so that he can save the world and also save himself from his tragic fate of becoming a dragon.
I just finished the game and I very much agree with what you wrote. I’d rather Eizen take the roll because he has the qualifications. It’s better than becoming a dragon Eizen😭😭😭
@@CoolLatiasLatios I asked some other people about it. They brought up the reaper's curse. I'm sure the planet would be absolutely fucked if Eizen did something like that now that I think of it.
@@destroyerdan6945 Oh darn they are right I forgot about the reapers curse in Eizen😭Than yes Laphi is a great candidate for the position
I love this ending
Great. 11:37: An other Dhaos-clone. Let's see... We already have Sekundes, Yggdrasill and Chronos. This isn't a bad thing but it would be nicer if you can beat him with Laphicets Indignation.
Gonna be honest didn’t like the ending the first time. Now at the end of a second playthrough and after playing the inferior Zestiria, I can say this probably the ending Velvet deserves. She hurt a great many people several she didn’t have to in her quest. Though there is one part I still don’t like seriously did they have to be naked during the credits feels like I should be put on a list for having that on screen.
Maybe this ending isn’t as bad as I first heard, but it’s still a bitter pill to swallow.
*“REND AND SLASH, TEAR AND NASH!”*
There will be possible berseria 2
I always thought Mila and JUde were tales take on Lightning and Snow (female and a male fist fighter)
But after seeing Eizen, I now realize he was the take on Snow.
Also I wonder who is tougher, Rukoro or Eizen.
Nah, Eizen actually has personality, and is likable.
LeonomusPrime Snow has a personality. You may not like it but that's your opinion. Plus you are probably a follow the crowd no think for yourself type person.
Why, because I personally hate Snow with a passion? I;ve played through and beaten all three of the 13 games, I think I have the right to formulate that opinion without the help of others. Though, that aside, I think it's kind of asinine to assume Tales was just copying FF characters to begin with.
LeonomusPrime ok i can agree with that.
but I never said "copied" more of an "inspired" people can take inspiration and not copy. Eizen is a fist fight with a black trench coat and medium legntg straight hair. but personality wayyyy different. so not a copied character. but def an inspiration to work with.
I really don't agree with him even being an inspired character. By that logic Jude and every other fist fighting character with a trenchcoat is inspired by snow, but hey, if that's what you see, that's what you see.
it sad i love she stay with them i was think she be back with them
Velvet best Mom
The ost in the beginning has huge Trails of meets Star Ocean vibes.
I’m an old tales fan, started with destiny.
Regardless this is kino
i'm not that into the tale of series but... isn't savage wolf fury someone else's special? can't remember his name now... the protagonist of vesperia i think, is that something or is normal for random people in different games having the same special?
Alot of tales protagonists tend to share artes (see fang blade, demon fang , stone dragon ascent.) However, I think the fandom mostly agrees that Artorius straight up Jacked Yuri Lowels' Mystic arte.
Well, that's mainly because while yes, lots of characters share arts, all of the characters tend to have their own unique mystic artes with the exception of cameo mystic arts, which tend to be non canon dlc extras anyhow.
Balder is that you?
Velvet and Laphicet no kissing yet better love story than Arise
