I stopped playing Berseria about 75% into the game last year. Despite a promesing start to the game, I got bored by it in the 2nd half and I dropped it. I picked it up recently as a tune up for Tales of Vesperia.
And now I was reminded why I dropped it. The battle system is convulted and unnecessary complex. The equipment system is a mess (why do we need 100 different variants of one sword?) and you get thrown so much useless loot at you after each battle that it makes your inventory very cluttered. Bamco needs to clean up these things for their next Tales of game. It really shows that they have hit a roadblock when it comes to gameplay. A good cast and a good battle system is what makes Tales of games so much fun. The cast is okay in this one, but sadly most other things are medicore and the music is a step down from Zestiria.
I still finished up the game today, but I wasnt enjoying myself. Good thing ToVDE is looming around the corner.
