#velvet (set on revenge) rokurou (set on revenge (kind of)) magilou (girls just wanna have fun (revenge))

[polyboros]

once again i am thinking about the recontextualization of tales of zestiria's worldbuilding premise post-tales of berseria

#kbitycus talks #the series of tales games that drive me insane etc etc unfortunately no tales game that comes out after berseria will ever be good again #(as evidenced by arise) #anyways dezel and eizen are fated to never meet by both eizen's dragonification and dezel's death but i think they shouldve talked #the [narrative] is [cylical] in nature . eizen knows a thing or two about people deadset on revenge (blinded by it) #also also also i am thinking abt maotelus in zestiria as compared to laphicet in berseria #knowing that the first fucking. evil guy i cant remember their title. is perpetually locked in a malevolence loop with #the evil bitchass god of all time #REALLY puts the shepard narrative into uhhhhh A NEW LIGHT. ID SAY. #not even mentioning the fact that artorius is just blatantly straight up evil. the first shepard was evil (THIS HAS BEEN LOST TO TIME) #((THAT DRIVES ME BONKERS EVERY DAY)) #sorey ALSO ENDS UP IN A SIMILAR SITUATION TO VELVET EXCEPT W LAPHI (MAOTELUS) and that drives me insane also #and then he becomes a seraph and reunites with his boyfriend 🎉 woo #but like. jsjhhhhhnnngngny. dezel & rose. (points at the tales of berseria crew very fervently) #velvet (set on revenge) rokurou (set on revenge (kind of)) magilou (girls just wanna have fun (revenge)) #& then theres eizen and laphicet and eleanor who are kind of just some guys (REALLY FUCKED UP) #i think berseria had its bad writing moments but i do think they did an excellent job showing how daemons get fixated on One Emotion #even if they can still feel the full human range & love & such #rokurou is fixated on besting his brother/power‚ velvet is literally the conduit for two Big Emotions #magilou isnt a demon shes just fucked up. love her 💜
