I hope they redo the combat. Zesteria combat the most boring part of the game.
Vesperia wasn't any different, it just had a more colorful artstyle and an overworld, along with fixed camera angles in towns.
Xillia tried to go more detailed with the character models with higher poly counts, as well as try a full 3D perspective for exploration, which merely introduced its own faults.
If you don't have the technical or budgetary chops for that, its gonna hurt.
Does not look bad to me, I only played Zestiria (from modern Tales), which game of series has better combat and why? I also have Graces F (backlogged) for ps3 and future pc port of Symphonia, how are they, worth it?

So it comes out next year huh? And it's going for the "behind character" camera angle that Graces and Zestiria had? Actually, the gameplay looks a lot like Zestiria's. Please don't suck. I can't handle another bad Tales of game after Zestiria. Might kill my love for the series if this one is as bad as Zestiria.
Also, the people saying that she transforms into a beast in the first trailer's thread were spot on. Good job.

Star Ocean 5 just looks better and it really does feel like Namco is giving the Tales team a smaller budget post Vesperia, wonder what happened?
They'll probably give Tales to another team in the future.
tri-Ace, heh.
I know there is already a gif but meh.
Action only version.
Looks like a cross-gen game alright.
Basically, almost every combat system in modern Tales has been better than Zestiria's. Graces F, Xillia 1 and 2....
I just don't get it, what makes Zestiria's combat bad?

Well since the trailer came up already, I wonder what else there'll be on the stream later on. I'm sure the Zesteria the X trademark is just for the anime, but I hope they'll tell us something about the the Rays trademark and The Best. And at least let us know if they canned the third triverse game.
What? Both Xillia and Xillia 2 had your standard arena style camera for their battles.Never played Xillia? Same thing there. But the combat was actually good.
Any news of a day one PC version?
I hope so because I enjoyed playing Zesty on PC!
Players will get to control characters with a free run base.
Camera angles can be freely moved around during battle.
The Arts you want to use can be set on all four buttons of circle, X, triangle, and square, and you can do combos by combining up buttons to decide which Art to use next.
Isnt a non cross gen Tales game coming to ps4? Or did I dream it?
main protag totally reminds me of Sando from the manwa Shin Angyo Onshi :
same revealing cloth, same long dark hair, same beast claw arm
Free run is back, thank the lawd.

Also cool that you can move the camera this time.

The gameplay of Zestiria was the least of its problems. At the very least, a lot of the battle system issues were things that would have been pretty easy to iron out, so developing on it should be interesting. I just hope it isn't as protagonist-centric as Zestiria was.
The camera is what I'm more worried about. From what I saw in this 2nd trailer, it seems that "real world" battles are back, where you automatically start a battle when confronting an enemy instead of transitioning to a battle arena like every Tales game before Zestiria. The problem with this in Zestiria was that the camera would get caught up on walls making any battle indoors or in a corridor a nightmare to fight in. If they can fix the camera, I won't mind having Zestiria's combat back. The only negatives would be that multiplayer would suck (it hasn't been great in any 3D tales honestly) and that air combos will be absent again.
Since you can map attacks to square I wonder what guard is mapped to now?
Also wondering how many artes they will let you set. Will it be 4 directions x 4 face buttons = 16? Or more?
But you said graces too. Were you not referring to third person perspective?
Free run is back, thank the lawd. Side step just doesn't give you the same freedom.
Also cool that you can move the camera this time.
Freedom shouldn't be the point though, it's aptly named LINEAR Motion Battle System.

I turned on Always Free Run in Zesty because it seemed to fix some of the camera issues, but I never really felt the need to free run. If you are running around, you are wasting time you could better spend on being offensive. The game gives you enough defensive options that you don't need to rely on free running.
This series is going down a strange path.
This is coming from a guy who has been on board with the series since the beginning.
Thank you, Bayonetta!!!

That's usually the case with these kinds of franchises...
Even so, i'm still looking forward to this one. I do like how they are portraying the main girl. She seems like a grimdark character with a heart of gold.
They sold their soul for TOV to look that good.sorry but...
come on namco. wtf is wrong with graphic?
