Oi, they churn out these games almost as much as the Atlier games XD

And that is a problem...

I hope for their good it's a new title... Zestiria was decent but crippled and Berseria feels no different to an Atlus shovelware game. I really hope they get their grip and AAA magic back...

I can't tell if you have played Berseria or not. On one hand it feels like you are just trying to sound edgy by insulting a game you haven't played. Despite the fact it has been the best tales game.. possibly ever.

On another hand you may be one of those people stuck in nostalgia. You really liked an old, old Tales game - not anything not "that" is considered crap.

But you are the first person I've read that actually has anything negative to say about Berseria little alone trying to call it shovelware.

The story, the combat, the extra, the connection to Zestiria everything is 100% top notch.

After some time looking at playthroughs I heard one of my friends, who reviews games no differently from me, said the game left a lot to be desired. Whilst the likes of Xillia don't hold a candle to it, it feels forced and unnaturally deep, not unlike most other games hailing from the Baba era... 

I am indeed nostalgic since I preferred Symphonia games, but feel the newer titles follow the Graces formula of party cohesion rather than party disintegration that was common of Team Symphonia games and Legendia, which had delivered the best selling flagship stories whose fans were mostly Westerners rather than Japanese or Asian. I have an eerie feeling most of the laid off personnel belonged to Team Symphonia...

Wii one? I don't remember a Wii one. 

*erases his own memories*

Boy, a Symphonia sequel would be nice.

In all seriousness, Dawn isn't included in the flagship titles, so I consider it more of a follow-up spinoff rather than a mainline sequel (ex. Xillia 2). I just personally don't like to treat it as canon due to its plot holes, inconsistent characters, and underwhelming story.

@bolded. I mean, that is exactly what it is, even for the studio  

And no I don't think my heart can handle another go at trying to follow up Symphonia

So you haven't even played the game - yet you are judging it? While at the same time being stuck in the past? So that is a double whammy of having no clue what you are talking about[in regards to berseria]? Yikes.

Seen it, had a friend play it before my eyes for hours, said friend rarely if ever disagrees with me in regards to rating games... I might as well have played it, but I am not touching a Sony console ever again, so no, I am afraid actually controlling the characters is a very long shot for me. However, I did play every single of the previous games, having rigged up an Steam free copy for PC and no, they don't compare to the last great games. 

I am nostalgic, but I can safely say that the games in the series have genuinely fallen into a steep decline... I don't have to play them because, the way I saw them in action, the only thing I didn't do is hold the controller. In a way, I had someone play it for me so I didn't have to associate with Sony to do so. I am surprised at the improvement, but still doesn't hold a candle to ToV and Abyss...

@Bolded

Wow, that's some next level grudge you hold.

I will be honest with you my friend, you ain't wrong... 

I think Steam is the only other company I hate more than them.

Hm.. wasn't the WII one Dawn of the new world a sequel? Kind of?

agree. It was sort of fun. But didn't feel put together well of that makes sense.
