No case. If you're gona play one, play both. Zestiria then Berseria for story purposes.

Berseria is objectively better but Zestiria isn't as bad as people make it out and has one of the series' best worlds and OST in a long while.

Are you saying this because the two games are related?

I'll definitely consider it as I might spring for both.

Yup. Berseria is a prequel. I enjoyed them in release order. Most people would agree I think, as going from Berseria's superior combat back to Zesteria's might be offputting

Wait for Vesperia. Berseria and Zestiria both suck.

Berseria is better imo.

In various ways, though I'd argue Zestiria has a better weapon system.

Still not as great as the older ones though (From Phantasia to Vesperia).


Well, I do have my copy of Tales of Eternia(well, Tales of Destiny 2) laying around, but I don't feel like replaying that. To be fair, I never did play Vesperia, but it's not on sale atm so I'm not worried bout dat.

Ooohhh. Good to know. So sort of like Lufia and Lufia 2. Well, I'll definitely consider that then.

Do you know when they're rereleasing it? I'll probably get it soon after, but I ain't paying full price for it.

Just get Berseria. Zestiria isn't worth it.

Also, the two are related, but only in a "this game takes place 1000 years in the past" kind of way.

Zesty's battle system is whack. There's this fusion thing that you're almost forced to do if you want to win, and a lot of people hate it. It means you HAVE to play as the MC and one other later for the whole game. Also severely limits co op.

It also has huge issues with camera angles in tight hallways, but this isn't gamebreaking, just annoying af a few times per playthrough.

Otherwise it's fine. Good story. AMAZING OST. Beautiful world. Above average characters.

Worth it for $20 or less, 100%.

It & Legendia are definitely the two black sheep of the seried though.
