In Tales Of Berseria players embark on a journey as they assume the role of Velvet, a young woman whose once gentle nature has been replaced and overcome with a festering anger and hatred after a traumatic experience three years prior to the events within Tales Of Berseria imbued her left hand with a special ability. Along her journey, Velvet will meet a whole cast of characters, including a young boy named Laphicet.

I'm a little over 10 hours in, and I'm enjoying the story and character interactions. The skits and constant focus on fleshing out the personalities and interactions of your party are a very welcome change coming off FF12. Unfortunately, I'm not enjoying the battle system any more than I did the one in FF12. It just feels clunky and unrewarding …
I'm a little over 10 hours in, and I'm enjoying the story and character interactions. The skits and constant focus on fleshing out the personalities and interactions of your party are a very welcome change coming off FF12. Unfortunately, I'm not enjoying the battle system any more than I did the one in FF12. It just feels clunky and unrewarding to me. Also, the characters don't need to shout the damn name of every move they use. Other than the battle system, item management is annoying and the map design is quite boring.
I'm not sure I'm going to make it through this one, which sucks. I really do dig everything but the, ya know, gameplay part of the game.

What do you guys think of the backpaddling, like it or not really?
I mean just check this place out, and I'm playing on medium resolution. It probably look way much better on high. I was also wrong about not having pirates, there are some aspect of pirate-ty goodness inside :p

3 hours in to the game, im loving it so far, especially the prologue of the game as it introduce the character's motive and what not and how it all came to be for Velvet

Initially, i thought it was something like a pirate theme game judging from the clothing of Velvet, but luckily I was wrong. It represents something else, but I wont go into that for spoiler reason but I'm glad it came out to be that way.
I'm also loving the menu interfaces, its really simple and easy to navigate. Gonna continue the game after waking up as It's super late in the night now. Also love this image that I took as it is so calming.

Cleared the bonus dungeon and beat the "true" final boss. That true form was no joke, that was legitimately the first time I had a problem with a battle in this game (0 grade due to 25 KOs lol).

I kind of want to do a Hard+ run just to see what drops I could get (and also because I feel the game is overall easy on Normal mode) but I think I'll go ahead and shelve this before I get completely and utterly sick of it.
Final verdict: dope af

Beat this today. Yet another recent JRPG with an ending that made me cry a little (I must be getting soft these days)
On to the bonus dungeon!

50 hours in @ second to last dungeon on first playthrough update: still dope af
also goddamn the last time I got emotionally gut punched so hard by a game was DDS2

I just started this and it's dope af. Pre-release I remember describing this game to people as "what if DMC4 was a JRPG and didn't have Dante in it", but having seen more of the story it's really more like Berserk.
