*Yawn* With the bursts of excitement in the thread, I thought there would be something to show for it this time.
He secretly enjoys the attention (and pain).

I don't care about avatar bets, I'm just confused as to where you confidence that this is coming out this year is coming from, considering every Tales game other than Dawn of the New World and Vesperia have needed anywhere between 7 months to 2 years to release outside of Japan.

That cover makes her look just like Rutee. Given the Destiny vibe and the fact that I can't see the name Berseria without thinking of Harold Berserius from Destiny 2, and I know her brother was in destiny 1 though may have had a name change in the localization
All together I really want it to be like Destiny 3 or have a connection with those games, but I know I'm just seeing myself up for disappointment

I quite liked Zesteria, issues and all, so I'm down.
Plus I played ToZ on PS3 back during it's JP launch, so I'm excited to get a smooth gameplay experience on the PS4. Trailer looked good, and I like how bizarre of a mish mash the party appears to be.

Omg, I wish I spoke Japanese. The wait is going to be hard for me.

I like a good revenge and defrosting story, so I'm more interested now than I was before.

Can't wait. I really liked Zestiria - didn't really mind the problems everyone talks about. Sure, the skill system was weird but it wasn't necessary to complete the game, and with a bit of thinking you could get pretty good skills.
Anyway, I still don't really like Velvet's default outfit. The outfit in the post above me looks much better. I hope it will be optional, but given that it's Tales I'm sure it will be.
The cover art looks so good too -- just give it to me now!

I almost wish villager Velvet was the default main outfit. She looks nice there. :/

Are you talking Japan with those releases? You are not going to see DQ11 in the West this year and probably not P5 either (God help you if you are in Europe).
Edit: Personally I am not picking up this on release despite liking Zesteria. I am still bitter about Symphonia disaster on PC.
Most likely an alternate outfit from the start.
Terms.
If either the U.S. or EU release date for Tales of Berseria is on or prior to the calendar end date December 31, 2016, the opposite party accepts the punishment as laid out below. If the release date is after that date then kayos90 will accept the punishment as laid out below.
Punishment
1.) Losing party must change the avatar of the victor's choice for 1 month.
2.) For every month between now and the reveal of the US/EU release date adds one more month.
Who accepts?

New outfit looks better than that torn up mess she normally wears. A bit bland, but it'll do. I'm sure the game will have at least 1 or 2 more non DLC outfits anyway.
I'll take you up on that. There's no way Berseria releases stateside this year. Not only do tales games, on average, take longer, but it'd be competing with Final Fantasy XV and maybe Persoan 5 in its potential release window.

Her character design in the intro part of the trailer is horrendous. I thought she was naked.

Yeah, Zestiria's leveling and skill stuff was just about my least favorite I've ever encountered in a JRPG.
Done. Prepare to lose.

What a difference a word makes. It looked pretty nice. She probably doesn't stay like that for long though, as she's being broken out of her prison or some such.

Nice looking trailer. The 60 fps is appreciated but I'm fine with or without it personally. I hope it comes stateside this year but it wouldn't surprise me if this were an early 2017 game for the west.

Are there any gameplay videos?
Hello there.
Producer : Yasuhiro Fukaya, formerly from the Namco quality assurance dept,
- notably QA director for Vesperia
Director : Yoshimasa Tanaka, long time Tales Studio/"Team Destiny" member,
- battle program support for Destiny 2, Rebirth, Destiny PS2,
- program support for Symphonia,
- battle planning for Hearts DS
- game design lead for Xillia
- assistant director for Zestiria
Tales of Series IP Supervisor : Kai Tanaka, until very recently Namco promotion dept
sounds like he's there to manage Baba's PR output after the mess he caused with Alisha
No, but he is confirmed not to be in the trailer credits (which covers like 1% of the complete staff listing). =P
What's the preorder bonus?
I mostly agree, I played Zestiria at 30 fps first and then at 60 towards the end. The arts animations, so smooth.. It felt so much better. Its kinda hard to put in to words for me lol.
I think that's just piece of artwork they give if you preorder from Ufotable store..

I really hope this game capitalises on its world setting.
Zestiria continually hinted at a larger picture regarding its world and culture but then never expanded upon any of it, despite it sounding and looking more interesting than the games actually story.
Considering that the world setting is normally revealed to be an integral part of the plot of most, if not all, of the Tales games, I found it very odd that that the main plot of Zestiria never connected with the world it took place within.

the cover does have Tales of Destiny vibe. It's refreshing to see them moving away from recent boxart style.
this too

I like the cover art and the trailer, but I still think the game is going to be lacking like the last few. It's been a while since this series has been great.

Ok then. I guess there's still hope.
I didn't realize why you said that until I saw the ends of her hair which looks like it matches Lailah's hair colour.

I actually think this could be good compared to the last few? Though at this point I'm most interested in where they inevitably drop the ball. Will it be in the last act? Character development? Story coherence? Game mechanics? Or all four like in Zestiria?
Amused at Datschge's theory that the IP Supervisor is there to keep track of Baba after his major fumble with Zestiria. Man, what a mess that game was in more ways than one.
If Naoki Yamamoto is main scenario writer again, though, my anticipation for the game will drop by 70%. The dude has a bizarre fixation with fetuses, wombs, and infanticide (main scenario writer for Hearts, Xillia 2, and Zestiria). And with Velvet as the main character... I shudder to think how such a writing team led by him would handle her. I've been getting Motomu Toriyama vibes with the failure to handle female characters well lately in Tales games (since Xillia 2, anyway).

Looking good.
Lmao please elaborate on infatuation with wombs/fetuses and how female characters haven't been handled well
I wonder how much the inevitable collectors edition I'll buy (on day one of course) will be and how much anguish I'll feel watching it fall to 30% off months after release ::sob::
EDIT: Screw it, I have no regrets. I got it with GCU and my still sealed Tales of Vesperia LE didn't hang out for long.

Hearts:
The main villain ends up hiding in someone's womb.
Xillia 2:
The land of Canaan is shaped like a giant fetus. Kresniks born with pocket watches have the watches develop with them in the womb which borders on body horror territory but the extra material just treats this like it's not something freakish.
Zestiria:
The infanticide of baby Mikleo to curse Heldalf. This method of cursing someone was never hinted at and never mentioned again. So... kill babies because hey, it's dark and edgy.
As for its portrayal of women, I take issue with
two Kresnik sisters being fridged to give Bisley a reason to hate Chronos.
exists as a walking sacrificial lamb to make a cheap appeal to emotion while the game tries to tell the player that she chose to sacrifice herself like Milla did in the first game. She didn't. She was railroaded by the plot into dying off.
gets kicked down a few notches on the pantheon of gods in the Xillia universe.
Chronos and Origin, suddenly Chronos can send Milla into the void without breaking a sweat.
Kohaku spends most of ToH as
as an emotionless shell.
And finally, in Zestiria,
the whole Alisha and Rose thing. It's not that I love Alisha, but I'm really disturbed at how the writers saw a need to kick her down to make Rose look better. As though they weren't confident enough in their own writing to make Rose appealing on her own. The result, IMO, makes Alisha and Rose worse characters.
This so very much. This will be the first Tales of game that I will not buy on launch, Zestiria really left a bad taste in my mouth.

"Most" is grossly overstating that and it has nothing to do with the fact that she is a woman. She's a very strong character once
she gets her personality back
You mean October 2017.

I told myself I'd break after xillia 2 but broke down and got zestiria, got to the final boss and his horrible dps check and gave up. I think I'm done with the series now.
