Xillia's dual story system was pretty poorly executed. I liked Repede more than Yuri, but I had way more fun playing as Velvet than any other main character in the series.įor Xillia, I am not sure why but this is the only game in the series I was "done" with after finishing both stories, I felt it just didn't have a very good story (far weaker than Vesperia's 3rd act). ![]() ![]() Vesperia is the only game in the series I actually chose to play someone other than the main character, too. I also really hated Karol, I "got" his character but just didn't like him. Vesperia has prettier and more imaginative dungeons (overall) but I felt many were extremely tedious, far more than Berseria's worst dungeons. Berseria does away with the skill limits, but at the cost of less amazing skills. I liked Vesperia's skill system for having more impactful skills but I also hated how limited the choices were to equip the learned skills (due to skill point restrictions). I put this game on the same level with Abyss, where one game lacks the other picks up. The antagonists in this game reminded me of this, with the unique twist of being on opposite sides that the Tales games usually are, and that was only a big plus for my opinion. Tales of the Abyss is/was my favorite in the series (until this game), the usage of the God Generals and Van were something I felt most of the rest of the series was lacking (strong, menacing but deep antagonists). Overall I'd say Berseria is a much more focused story than Symphonia and has better combat (I felt Symphonia's combat was just too slow). It probably didn't help that I played Symphonia far later than Abyss, Vesperia, and Xillia. The larger cast made it much harder to get into the characters as well as I did with Berseria's, and Berseria's main characters were (to me) the strongest the series ever offered. “You were staring.I honestly couldn't get that into Symphonia, though I did respect its ambitious storytelling that I think Abyss exceeded. She recovered quickly, her expression serious except for pursed lips. “Yeah, it was probably because you were staring.” “I was not!” “Oh, Sweetie.” Magilou laughed heartily, clutching her midsection as she doubled over. “Any woman on this street would faint if he so much as looked their way! Old ladies love him!” “I-I don’t know,” Eleanor answered honestly, her cheeks heating up again. What was with that look he was giving you?” Magilou gave her foot a light stomp against the sidewalk, feigning annoyance.
