If Zestiria tried to test the ‘open-world’ waters, then Graces F was as linear as Tales games could get.

Still, some people loved Zestiria (more than me) and it sold over 1 million copies world wide in its different iterations.

The game kept the tradition of a story that focused on characters (even the if the overall plot was a mediocre, at best), and while it looked ‘bland’ for a PS4 game, those who played the PS3 version probably found little to complain about in that regard. Either way, Zestiria had a decent action based combat system, and 3 other players could join in the fun, locally (though most Tales games have a multiplayer component save for the newest one). Yet, somehow, the game finds itself here, ahead of Tales of Legendia (one of my favorites), even.įamitsu, graded the game a 36/40, but that is a Japanese publication. In my opinion, Zestiria fell flat on its face in the attempt. Open-World RPGs (and Action-Adventures) are my favorite games to play these days, and Zestiria tried to get the series’ feet wet within that genre in an attempt at its own brand of ‘open-world’. Tales of Zestiria (2015) PC, PS3, PS4 – Metascore: 77 back in the mid 1990s.Īfter all, how many SNES RPGs featured such a character driven story, with time travel, other worldly beings, and feisty villains? Well, some of Square’s best efforts did, but it is a credit to Phantasia to say that it competed on that league against Squaresoft’s heavy hitters. The fact that the GBA version of this game (released on the US 11 years after the SNES was launched in Japan) received a 76 meta rating is a clear indication that this game would have done much better (score wise) had it been released on the U.S. It was also one of the better looking SNES RPGs at the time of its release, which makes it an oddity in this series. Phantasia introduced a lot of the series’ mainstays, including its action based battle system, and its emphasis on character development (story wise). Because Tales of Phantasia is a late SNES game at its core, it has aged (much) better than Final Fantasy 1 or the first Dragon Quest. Every great series has a beginning, and Tales of Phantasia was Tales’ start.
