Venocide Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Bandai Namco’s Tales of Zestiria could be coming out on PC, according to a Steam database listing. The listing, pointed out by NeoGAF, has since been altered to read “TOZ” rather than “Tales of Zestiria,” but screenshots managed to catch its original title. Tales of Zestiria launched in Japan on PlayStation 3 last month and was slated for worldwide distribution in Q2 of this year. This Steam database listing could mean a PC port alongside its PS3 version, but this is still unconfirmed.

GoldenShaka Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 If that's the case then there's definitely a chance to get it on ps4. And considering the polemic ps3 version in Japan I'll just wait for the ps4 complete edition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 A PS4 version of that game is so confirmed after the Japanese rage outburst at the PS3 one.....a PC version would be pretty awesome too, but let's hope they port the PS4 edition with all the extra goods 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryumoau Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) i would much rather they had spent that time porting it to ps4 instead. I'd even take a straight port with little graphical overhaul. I just want a real jrpg to play on my ps4, which already has a sadly low game collection. A PS4 version of that game is so confirmed after the Japanese rage outburst at the PS3 one.....a PC version would be pretty awesome too, but let's hope they port the PS4 edition with all the extra goods japanese outrage for the ps3 version? What happened? Was the game terribly glitchy or something? Edited February 19, 2015 by Ryumoau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihiris- Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) There was an outrage? How come? This should help, Japanese gamers were really pissed at the DLC for the game: http://www.siliconera.com/2015/01/27/tales-zestiria-get-dlc-happens-alisha-game/ "This is just as well, as it appears that some Japanese gamers have not taken kindly to Tales of Zestiria, judging by the game’s Amazon reviews. Alisha’s role in the game and the writing of events surrounding her character seem to be a major point of discontent among players" The game also currently has a 1.5 out of 5 star user rating on Amazon Japan right now. http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00O9SR9NK/4k6l0g8-22/ref=nosim/ Edited February 19, 2015 by Death_Ninja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheIncinerator1 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 There was an outrage? How come? Pic related was thought to be the main heroine by a lot of people due to her being advertised along side the other protaganist, ended up being that she gets replaced by another girl who's the actual main heroine and is only seen again later in dlc. So yeah, people lost their shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) There was an outrage? How come? There are a number of reasons (before talking I say to everyone who reads to take this with a pinch of salt, as I haven't played the game myself and I am basing on friends from Japan who told me and could be exaggerating (or not)) 1. The game came out and it blatantly looks as capped, incomplete. People started to think that the PS3 version was a money sucker to later release the full PS4 Zestiria experience 2. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK Alisha was advertised as co-protagonits with Sorey since Zestiria was announced. She became an absolute fan-favorite in Japan and everyone loved her. BUT she leaves the party for good at somepoint in the middle of the game and only returns for a battle or two. Her DLC costumes are thus rendered useless from the point she leaves onwards, which means wasted money. Curiously enough, shops keep selling tiers of her weapon (spears) after she leaves (as if she was meant to stay for the whole run). Japan utterly burned in flames and there are over 1200 1-star reviews on Amazon Japan. Outburst escalated after a DLC chapter featuring Alisha was announced less than a week after release. 3. Camera issues in closed areas, some bugs and glitches 4. Empty spaces, big and pretty, but empty, very few enemies. There are some other issues with the game, and the outburst reached that point in which Amazon got such amount of copies of the game sold back to them that now they give you less than a dollar for your copy of Tales of Zestiria. Talk about epic failure That been said, some people claim that the game is not awful, just not really great. A PS4 redemption edition is almost a given at this point, and NA/EU may even get that version directly, we'll have to wait and see.

Satoshi Ookami Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 There was an outrage? How come?

Lion-Lhasa Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Wow, I knew there was some unhappiness about character arcs being DLC or something but I didn't look into it. Tales games have always been a day 1 purchase for me, now I'm not so sure. Thanks for the enlightenment guys, much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the other issues you listed that relate to actual gameplay has me concerned. I hope the fact that we still haven't gotten a release date announcement yet means they were working on the ps4 version for western release. Hopefully that will fix the camera and framerate issues as well as place more enemies on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quaedam_Animae Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) The people that complain about Alisha's role in the story weren't around 6 years ago when Vesperia was released it seems. They're unaware of Flynn's lack of a role even though he's posing on the 360 version's front cover with Yuri. Alisha also has more of a role in Zestiria then Flynn did in Vesperia too. Of course! Who doesn't buy game for waifus? =D I don't. I buy them for the stories and gameplay. I couldn't care less about waifus.

starcrunch061 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 i don't really care about some stupid japanese fanboys pissed about a character. But the other issues you listed that relate to actual gameplay has me concerned. Agree completely, but in this case, it seems that Namco released an unfinished game. No one gives DLC for free, and the "It's the 20th anniversary of the Tales series!" excuse is particularly flimsy. This is completely unsurprising to me, BTW. Although many will disagree, the Tales series has really gone down in quality, at least in terms of originality and whatnot. Look at the absolutely ATROCIOUS recycling of environments in Tales of Xillia (regardless of your opinion of the game itself, and I thought it was a soulless shell of a game, it was clear that they put 0 thought into design). Every city designed its port exactly the same. Tundras apparently have trees. I didn't bother with Xillia 2 - maybe it was a major upscale. But ever since Symphonia, this series has gotten pretty weak (even though I liked Legendia enough, I am not so blind as to ignore its failures, and Abyss was pretty lazy, too). Because it's Namco, silly! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starcrunch061 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 But because it's Namco, we get quality waifus I'm not going to lie - I didn't know what a "waifu" was before I saw your post, and the idea...is frightening to me. But I would like the Tales games to get good again. I liked Graces f quite a bit for its gameplay (although the story was a little weak). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont worry, its okay for me, Im political left, unreligious and I dont understand why everyone is thinking they have a right to a say what people should love or hate, or anything else about someone else feelings (note: religious feelings are no feelings...I mean, seriously, WHERE it hurts?).

I'm still holding a torch that they'll port over the Vesperia to english for a PS3/4 release. I'm hoping they'll do a ten year thing like they did for Symphonia.
