Some random thoughts before I play for a bit:

1. I mentioned my thoughts on the party dynamic before - another bit I love that reinforces my thoughts is a small piece of dialogue halfway through the game, where Velvet is getting somewhat suspicious of Eizen. He calms her down not by reminding her of how good friends they are or how they're allies through thick in thin ect., but by saying "don't worry, I'm only acting out of self-interest, and you know what those interests are". It was such a perfect little line. Berseria has a lot of good small moments like that.
2. I've been finding out that a lot of the music tracks I like from this game are just taken from Zestiria. Come on Sakuraba, I was getting kind of impressed!

I think Zestiria -> Berseria is ideal because Berseria subverts so many things that Zestiria plays straight. Like in Zestiria, armatization is just a cool battle technique to boost your power, but in Berseria it becomes a horrifying thing - "they already robbed malaks of their free will, now they rob them of their bodies??"

I actually knew about armatization in Zestiria thanks to Mercs, so that one didn't fly over my head!. Also knew Sorey was a 'Shepard' but nothing besides that. Maybe I would have been shocked at Artorias' betrayal if I hadn't already seen that scene due to the censorship 'controversy' thing making the rounds a while back.

Question for people - think it was mentioned that the Lord of Calamity is a known historical figure in the future (a.k.a. Zestiria). Did players know that they were going to be playing as the Lord of Calamity during Berseria pre-release stuff or was that hidden?
