Teiruzu obu zesutiria

Tales Of Zestiria is a trash JRPG. The characters are one note and bland, the plot is uninspired and has serious pacing issues, the combat mechanics are clunky at best and irritating at worst, the skill system is too impenetrable, the weapons/accessory upgrade system is straight up ass and the levels are way too big with nothing much in them and this becomes particularly grating after a while as you'll be going through the same areas many times. The music is as generic as possible for a JRPG although this tends to be a recurring issue for the Tales Of series from the games I've played except Vesperia which was the exception. The protagonist is a boring Gary Stu lacking any real character flaws to make him interesting and layered. A goody two shoes as a protagonist doesn't do it for me, especially when the game exceeds 30 hours in length. I don't necessarily want an a****** as a protagonist but I'd want one who is morally conflicted or has a good amount of flaws to overcome during the storyline to make me interested in their journey. Sorey starts out as a goody two shoes and stays that way. Overall, a poor JRPG that can be considered mediocre at best if one is being generous. Thankfully, Berseria and Arise learned from the mistakes of this game.
