Tales of Zestiria is a Japanese role-playing game. It is the fifteenth main entry in the Tales series. As with previous entries in the Tales series, the game uses a variation of the action-based Linear Motion Battle System, with additional elements including a navigable open world, and the ability for certain characters to fuse into a single entity in battle to deliver powerful attacks. The story follows Sorey, a young man blessed with powers by a mystical spirit race known as the Seraphim who act as a stabilizing force in the land, as he travels to free the land of Glenwood from the threat of the Hellion, creatures spawned by negative emotions.

One thing I didn’t include in my review is that Hedalf can be frustrating even on Simple. First and third forms aren’t bad (just save an arcane bottle for phase three), but the second phase made me mad…until I figured it out.

One thing I didn’t include in my review is that Hedalf can be frustrating even on Simple. First and third forms aren’t bad (just save an arcane bottle for phase three), but the second phase made me mad…until I figured it out.

My first recommendation is to use the Seraphs in this order: Edna, Zaveid, Mikleo, and then Lailah. Reason being is that you have to do a lot of damage really quickly in order to use a certain weapon and the first two shots are more forgiving, so you want to save your heavier hitters for last.

Set Rose and her Seraph partner to go all in, but keep an eye on Rose’s health and gel as needed.

Finally, don’t use up your BGs until Hedalf starts charging up his main attack. You have plenty of time to chip away his health between those times. You have very little time during charge up. Spam the BG attacks (forgot which arte they were) when he’s charging.

Also, stay off to one side, targeting the hand and block as needed, of course. The main frustration comes from the charged attack as it is not blockable and is not survivable. The good thing is that your BG goes up to like 8-9 after every weapon shot.

Hope this helps!

Tales of Zestiria is coming to Playstation Plus. I missed this one so thinking of playing it this way. How does it compare to others like Symphonia, Vesperia or Arise?

A good battle system and that's it. Nothing really more to say about this game.

Despite the amount of problems, I really enjoyed my time playing this game. Forget trying to 100% this though, heck no.

The story of this game is intriguing, but the combat mechanics are weird and definitely not my favorite. I'm probably dropping this one unless my partner will play it with me, since I hear there's couch co-op fo the battles.

I've never played any of the Tales of.. games, so I hope I don't miss anything. We got a PS Now subscription, so I'm checking it out.

I usually avoid hack-n-slash combat because I'm bad at it and all it does is frustrate me, but since I have it on easy, maybe things won't be too hard for me.

Worst place in the whole game and not to mention the most annoying too. Words cannot explain how much I'm annoyed with this place right now. Soundtrack is good though

I missed the Mayvin sidequest. Oops. Make sure to do that before you get to Lohgrin! Did I miss out on an important item? I hope not!
