Yup it's an Asian thing. Cause god knows that our retailers take game copies from all sorts of regions
Most popular reasons:
-Visually bland, adherence to the connected world zones led to dull environments, repeated textures and poor dungeon design, and some locations could be mistaken for having ps2 assets.
-Equipment system is tedious to deal with, too much focus on RNG. Decision trade off for stat gains vs runic bonuses was just kind of lame to concern over.
-Combat camera woes.
-Narrative filled with illogical conveniences, pacing was way off, especially as the game progresses.
-Combat design took out a lot of what made Graces combat supposedly great. Not having played Graces, I personally dislike how rigid the focus is on stun locks and the 4-stage combos. Fusion system felt imbalanced to many and poorly adopted(got real stale too).
That said, I also ended up enjoying the game. Begrudgingly though, as I don't disagree with most of the complaints.

Still ain't worth it. At this price you give up the most valuable resource, time.
US got free dlc back then, it's a fine trade off IMO.

Same, except I forced my way till the final boss and finally gave up. Tales Studio need to take a break and step it up.
Yes.
On my excel sheet, I have R1/R2/R3 to indicate my games collection because of DLC compatibility. I don't usually buy other versions unless it's dirt cheap comparatively, like during a sale.
Don't you ever diss this wonderful game. You shall taste the wrath of Indignation!!
It's not that bad. A good game with just a complex weapon system, bad camera, claustrophobic dungeons, and bad framerate?
Not to mention that you will surely enjoy Edna's companionship.

Yeah, I feel OP. I was surprised that you guys didn't know R1/R2/R3, I always think that's general knowledge lol. But it seems like it's only prominent in Asia because we like to use multiple regions here (I myself have a NA and Asia account).
And at least for Indonesia, PS+ is significantly cheaper. It's approx. $26 here for a year
Ah, another note for you guys who *might* want to create an Asia account, a game could be in 3 languages (Chinese, Japanese, English) in Asia region. Sometimes all 3 languages is available, sometimes the language that's available depends on the country you signed in.
I'm using Indonesia account, and the free copy of Tales of Zestiria is in English.
P.S: Currently, if you buy 12 months PS+ from PSN you'll get The Order 1886/Infamous Second Son (your choice).

I have both those games already, so it's annoying that those are the game options.
Let me pick Knack or something else I haven't owned. >_<

I got what you meant instantly with R3, OP. Don't worry about it.
Surprised that tons of people angrily didn't know though.

Tales Studio is "taking a break" and dead since 6 years now.

What? I never heard of this.
Except you didn't even write "Region 3", you wrote "R3".
It's pure clickbait and you should have edited the OP title to either say "Region 3 only" or "Asia only".

Lol at the thread title. Edit that already.

Put Asia in the title next time op.
I do remember the camera being pretty bad in certain situations, but maybe it's where it was my first exposure to the series that I didn't pick up on the rest. My main complaint would be how easy it was til post game. I really had a great time with it tho.
Region coding e.g R3, R1 for US etc is pretty common over here in South East Asia. Not OP's fault as we use that pretty often over here.
I already got a physical version but I wouldn't mind a digital ver. It's good of Bandai Namco SEA to provide a English version too, for the first time in a while, none of that "Chinese ver only" crapwe get from PS+ monthly games.

Us R3 gamers often get short changed when it comes to the PS Plus free games so it's nice to see the occasional extra freebie. I remember Rocket League being free on PS Plus everywhere in the world except R3 because it wasn't even available on the PS Store yet.
