Is it still worth playing?
Velvet Crowe's sickly younger brother is sacrificed in a ritual called the Advent, she spends three years in a prison for daemons, and the game is her revenge on Artorius, who did it. This role playing game came out in Japan in August 2016 and in the West on PlayStation 4 and PC in January 2017, a Tales with a woman alone at the front, and an angry one. Its tone is dark, and the Abbey Artorius leads is the enemy, a thousand years before Zestiria in a story built to stand without it. The fighting is the Liberation Linear Motion Battle System: free movement in the arena, artes on the face buttons, and a Soul Gauge of up to five souls spent on them, with Break Soul, a state that lets a combo run on. Velvet is still a heroine who is not out to save anything, and souls are what you spend today.
