The next Tales game marks the franchise’s 20th anniversary. It’s a PS3 exclusive. And it’s titled Tales of Zestiria.
As Namco Bandai explains, the word “zest” in the title refers to “passion” or “zeal”. Or, well, zest!
The game features four character designers: Mutsumi Inomata, Kosuke Fujishima, Daigo Okumura, and Minoru Iwamoto, and it will feature a hero, a heroine, and dragons. Yes, dragons.
Here’s the teaser video for the game, which was streamed on Nico Nico Douga, in its entirety:

i’ve never understood these games, bandai namco churns them out regularly, and although i’ve only played Tales of Phantasia over a decade ago (which i absolutely loved), i’ve always wondered about the production values and the story quality of these newer tales games.
anyone care to enlighten me?
I have really enjoyed the last 5 games,
Loved the story and gameplay
Currently waiting for xillia 2
And hope this one makes it to an English release.
It’s actually already confirmed to be getting localised for America and Europe
It’s on the ebgames website as a pre-order for 2015.
Interesting, might order it so I can forget about it till it arrives lol
so the story and gameplay ain’t diluted despite the fact that one game comes out a year? wow, namco bandai must be hoarding all the talented writers!
Hopefully they’ll create new monster models and not reuse the same models from Tales of the Abyss and Tales of Vesperia :/
The only games I wish I had a ps3 for. Loves tales of symphonia on GC.
