Tales of Crestoria final trailer
- Thread starter Refrain
- Start date
Ah...It's a fucking gacha game, isn't it? From what I'm seeing in this trailer, it sure looks like one.
I fucking knew it.
I fucking knew it.
This looks incredible production-quality wise, but I really think the crossover unit aspect feels like a mistake here. It's weird to have this plot be so focused on the idea of your playing as a party of sinners and outcasts yet your supposedly being accompanied by characters from completely different continuities and circumstances? I try not to be that guy that complains about Gacha, but this whole premise seems more suited for a console title that doesn't need an excuse to have pulls as a monetization strategy.
Form the way they've been talking about it, it seems like the main story will focus on the new party while the side stories will focus on the crossover characters. Seeing how many crossover characters there are in the trailer though, I'm not sure how it will actually work in practice.
I agree that I would have loved this as a console game. I wish such an interesting setting would be saved for a mothership title. Still excited though.
I was like whaaat this is already coming out?! Then I realized I was thinking of Tales of Arise lol.
This one will only have one shared Server accross the globe to avoid shutting down the global version.
Does this still have no release date?
Will only be interested if it's one huge server with Global and JP, that way there's way less of a chance that the game gets shut down after 4 months. Yes, I'm still burned on Tales of the Rays.
Also I'm already doing two gacha games. I can't go back to 3, though after Skadi releases, I'll probably have zero reason to whale for new FGO characters.

I wouldn't be surprised if at some point in this game's life it was a mothership title, but trying to release this after Berseria which has a very similar premise (party of persona non grata that is opposed to the oppressive world order) would've been a bad idea.
I don't trust a Tales of mobile game to last more than a year in the West.
I wish I could say I won't even give it the time of day, but I'm not that strong ;_;
Edit: Patricidal Edge holy shit

Early May beta in some English regions to test stability, followed by launch in June. Both regions share the same server.
Yup that's a Tales game alright.
I think they found their groove with writing Anti-hero(???) stories like with Berseria and to a smaller extend Vesperia, at least to me those were more interesting than their standard straight-laced hero stories.
Not sure how the whole crossover thing is gonna factor in though.

Somewhat looking forward to it, but looking at the plethora of AP/BP gauges on the main screen, It's that "pay or wait a few hours to progress" kind of mobile game, I guess.
Vicious also seem like the character that "unlocks" the Transgressor crest's power? Wonder what's his story.
I think this time they're integrating the old characters into the new world/setting. Not sure how well it'll be executed, but it's at least a change.

Yeah, it looks decent but the crossover aspect looks so out of place. I don't know why Bamco is making so many gacha Tales games.
Wit Studio has done the animation for Asteria and the Rays so nothing weird, they're just doing side games while Ufotable is doing the main games.

The crossover doesn't have anything to do with the main plot for now but it sure does look weird.
Wow, I see I can pre register on the EU Play Store. A load of games don't make it over here but I guess this one will. I love Tales. More excited for Arise, but I'll try this one out.
How is this the final trailer and still no release date?...smh.
I think Tales of Link was also a turn-based game. It was also mobile but wasn't full 3D models like this one is.
I'm sure they're reluctant in trying out a turn-based Tales Of game on console but it would have been cool though. Maybe this could get ported to the Switch at some point seeing as it's seemingly popular with mobile ports.

I wasn't too happy with yet another crossover mobile Tales game until I found out how they are going to handle it, so instead of the typical "oh this character comes from another world" they are going to take characters from previous games but change their back stories and motivations to work as if they were always part of Crestoria's world, that and supposedly they will only appear on side stories and not the main plot.
Now my only problem is that the battle system is going to be turn based which is really weird for a Tales game and honestly makes me lose interest, but eh I'll still check it out at launch.

If we look at spin-off there were others non real time battle Tales, Summoner's Lineage, Dice Adventure, Asteria and the older mobile Tales whose name I forgot.
But Crestoria is clearly the highest profile title a non real time battle Tales has ever been, they probably didn't make this choice lightly.
I mean, they closed links, so now they only have two consequently running ones. I guess they want to go back to 3 again.
I played Tales of Link. It was some weird puzzle RPG hybrid. I wouldn't really call it turn based combat, unless we're speaking in the most literal terms.

They also mentioned launching early in some parts of the world in May to test network infrastructure. Typically that includes Australia, NZ, etc:
Tales of Crestoria launches in early June, open beta test set for early May
Tales of Crestoria will for iOS and Android in early June simultaneously worldwide, and an open beta test will be held in early may, Bandai Namco announced.

Thanks! :)
Cool! I'm very excited for June.
I posted it in the Japanese mobile games thread but here is how the beta is going to play out:
If your applicable you should note that your data will not transfer over to the final release. This is just to test the servers.
Outside of the billion crashes I get, I'm loving the game. Story is engaging, and I like the art and characters. I love turn based rpg, so this is a dream come true for me. Seriously though the game crashes out of the asshole, especially on an emulator. The translation is also very very weird.

The gacha is usually toned down, if there at all, in a beta.
But you can though. It'll be available for all in June.
