Tales of Zestiria Special — Generic RPG Beginning Type 1

December 30th, 2014

  

Didn’t bother to try here, huh?

Milky Holmes has a two hour special tomorrow extremely early my time (like, 2am), which includes the first two episodes of the new season. I’ll get to at least the first whenever I wake up tomorrow.

Impressions:

Wow, was this boring. It’s like they took the first hour of an especially generic RPG, simply removed the tutorials and tutorial dungeon, and called it a day, because you know what’s really exciting? Exposition, exposition, and exposition. With no action at all except about sixty seconds of bonking ineffectually on some fox guy, if it was trying to make me excited about the game, it failed. Dismally. The worst part may have been the teasing at the start. Oh, here’s a giant spider. I bet that’s the first boss fi… No, they ran away. Okay, there’s a boar. Wait, no. They’re eating the moss. Your exciting adventure, ladies and gentlemen.

I think the thing that may have worried me the most though was that the villagers from a tiny village either looked like they all came from different continents of the Rainbow World, or were exactly identical to the person they were standing next to, including males and females. I can only assume that family is very, very, very close in this village. And yes, that did stick out. Because I was bored. Because this was very boring. As boring as watching putzes watch fireworks boring.

  • algorithm says:

    Was there ever a good Tales of Whatever show?

  • Apathy says:

    I thought Tales of Phantasia OVAs were OK.

  • Germanguy says:

    The curse they have, they can not tell to much of the same storyline as the Game. Why brother playing the game, if you get all “Cut-scenes and Story” in a Anime?

  • The Phantom says:

    Tales of never had a good story to begin with, Vesperia was good because the characters were good, but here, the main char is a tard, and the girl has nothing going on for her other than being cute.

    Princess girl suddenly appears collapsed in front of you, you take her home and nurse her, then she leaves and you follow her… really Namco is that the best you could come up with?

    • Germanguy says:

      Spirits of the Past, the same. There is the Girl not a Princess, but a Cryo-sleep Girl. And out ot admiration he do the same

      so, Cute looking Girl is enough for some boys to risk their Life
