This game is by far one of my favourite games. I didn't think much of the Tales of Series but now I'm a huge fan. The game looks amazing and the gameplay compared to other JRPGs is more more simplistic and yet so much more in depth. Just the beginning of the game left me wanting to play more and more. I definitly recommend this game to anyone familiar with JRPGs and their mechanics but also to new players as Zestria is perfect for beginners and hardcore gamers alike. Casual gamers will also enjoy the relaxed and calming atmosphere as you run around the open world.

The story is really easy to get into and with the occassionally plot twist that just leaves you in a state of WTF (in a good way) the game just keeps getting better and better. Each hour left me wanting more and the drive to complete this game easily overcome the need to grind just to face that final boss. 100% recommend this game.

Likes:
- Story
- Characters and their interactions (short scenes after each battle)
- Music (especially in Elysia plus the battle music could be changed by swapping clothes)
- Comedy (many of the skits left me laughing and others were really informative in teaching techniques or mechanics)
- The whole Armitization ability was my favourite swapping between fusions for the right combos was really fun
- Environment and just the look of the game. The different areas all feel unique from the tops of mountains to the desert and to the wide open plains.
- All the different types of enemies and their design especially the little grubs that look like easy EXP until you decide to battle a hoard of them!

Dislikes:
- No way to change mouse sensitivity for controlling the camera and so the default is fixed (it does seem hard to move at first but it only takes a few minutes before you get the hand of it so its not a big issue)
- Level grind gets intense (Depends on how you play a JRPG but for me the level grind to beat some of the later bossess was quite hard)
