Ny Tales of Berseria trailer

Nu är kan lite sen med denna, men har inte haft möjlighet att skriva om det tidigare. Här om dagen släppte Namco Bandai en ny trailer från det kommande Tales of Berseria. Som tyvärr än så länge fortfarande bara är bekräftat för Japan.

Men jag hoppas de kommer att bekräfta det för release i övriga världen också, Tales of spelen tillhör som en del vet mina favoritspel, så jag vill verkligen att det ska släppas. Vi får se lite gameplay och vi får se hur Velvet rör sig under fighterna, som flyter på otroligt bra av trailern att döma. Vi får även se en ny troligen spelat karaktär, som är en liten grabb. Vi får även veta att Velvet tydligen jagat varulvar och tycks själv ha någon varulvs förbannelse över sig.

Som sagt hoppas verkligen vi för detta spelet också! Gärna innan 2016 är slut, det hade varit underbart. Kom igen nu Namco Bandai, bekräfta spelet för release i Europa åtminstone.

2år med PlayStation 4

Tiden går verkligen fort, lite för fort ibland. Man hinner knappt blinka så har man missat en månad eller det är så det kan kännas ibland. Idag är det två år sedan jag blev ägare till min PlayStation 4 konsol, det var första gången sedan GameCube släpptes jag fick en chans att skaffa en konsol på releasen.
Ni kan ju se min original post här: “29/11 2013: Some impression of the PlayStation 4”

Det har varit två härliga år tillsammans med PS4:an och jag känner mig nöjd. Även om det blivit en del remasters och äldre spel man spelat på den också, så känner jag mig väldigt nöjd med hårdvaran i sig. Kontrollen var ju en grym förbättring från DualShock 3 på alla fronter utan just batteriet, som jag personligen tycker är på tok för klent. Hade varit trevligt med ett batteri som varar längre, men det är väl också det enda jag tycker är riktigt negativt.
Har fått ut många underbara speltimmar på konsolen, man sitter och hålla tummarna för att fler och fler JRPG ska finna sin väg till maskinen och även släppas i väst.

I och med PS4an också så testade jag lite nya genrer eller nya och nya. Men nya för en som i stort sett enbart bara spelat JRPG. Jag har kört igenom två stycken FPS, nämligen Wolfenstein spelen och gillade dem riktigt mycket måste jag säga. Har även Killzone att köra igenom vid något tillfälle, så får man se om man gillade det. Har testat på Assassin’s Creed IV, som iofs var små trevligt, men inget för mig.
Det ska bli intressant att se vad 2016 kommer erbjuda i spelväg, det kommer troligen bli ett riktigt bra år.

Tales of Zestiria finished

Yesterday I beat the last boss of Tales of Zestiria and so the story comes to an end. I’ve spent about 45 hours with the game, in that time I’ve also done some sidequests. In my opinion it was time well spent and I had fun with the game. I have some sidequests left to do and I have to play Alisha’s story DLC, but for now I’m going to take a break from the game.

All in all it was an enjoyable game with a great gameplay, my biggest gripe with the game is the camera when you are in battle. Sometimes it has a life of it’s own and can sometimes the be the reason you loose a fight because it is so damn stupid. So I really hope they put some more time into the camera into the upcoming Tales of Berseria.
I wish we had gotten more back story on some of the characters, they set them up to be very interesting but in the end, nothing happens with that. And it’s a damn shame! I want to know what Lailah’s oath means, I want to know more about her. And I feel like that about all the characters, but then again I feel like this with most characters I like.

I really enjoy the fights that take place as soon as you touch an enemy, no more going to a separate battlefield. I hope they keep this one in the upcoming Tales of games, it’s one of my favorite additions to the series so far. The music is great in the game I hope Go Shiina can make more music for the Tales of games. His music in the element trails are some of the best in the game, it’s so different from anything else in the game. All in all a good game and one of my favorite games of the year, at least it didn’t disappoint me like some other games did. (I’m looking at you MGS5).

Early birthday gifts!

Today is a day I’ve waited a long time for! Finally Tales of Zestiria is released and I have my copy of the game! But that is not all, today is even the release of Dragon Quest Heroes. I think I’m set for the foreseeable future right now.

This is an early birthday present to myself. No way I could wait another 11 days to play it on my birthday. Not to fix some quick things and then gaming is on the schedule for the entire weekend. Which suits me just fine, since I can to much else since my lite operation. I just have to take it easy and not move around too much, which is easier said than done.

Tales of Destiny PS1 vs PS2

So I’ve slowly started playing Tales of Destiny for the the PlayStation 1, I haven’t played it much before. So I was hoping I could play through it before Tales of Zestiria comes out, but that will probably not happen. Mostly because I will probably not have much time to play, but I’ll try to get at least one hour in there each day. Perhaps if I don’t wait until I can play the fan-translated PS2 version.

I’ve just played the intro bit of the game, got Dymlos, met Garr and that. And that’s when I decided to open my Japanese copy of Tales of Destiny for the PlayStation 2. Just to check out what’s different. A bit of me wish I didn’t, because I’m going to have a hard time returning to the original version now.
I played to the exact same spot in the PS2 version and it was like day and night. Not that the PS1 version is bad, it’s just the PS2 version is much approved on!
The battles are way better and they’ve skipped the usage of TP, instead they use the CC system like in Graces. And I’m a much bigger fan of that than being limited to a certain amount of TP. The game has skits, something the original sadly does not.
The battles system and what I could see was vastly improved upon, hard to say how much when I just played so little. But enough to really question me to continue with the PS1 version.

After playing the PS2 version I got really sad that Bandai Namco never released them in west, but I sure hope they can release a collection with both Tales of Destiny games on it.
They don’t have to dub it (thought it would be nice), but just translate it and give it too us. Much like they did with Tales of Hearts R.
Now I’m just eagerly awaiting the fan-translation and hope it will be finished in the not to distant future. I really want to play the game and understand what’s going on.
Don’t take this the wrong way, but the original PlayStation game is still nice and I am going to play it. But after the PS2 version I’m just not as eager, I’d rather way a while and play the definitve version of the game and focus on other games right now.

Tales of Zestiria soon!

Not long now until Tales of Zestiria is released. Just a little more than three week left, gah! But it feels like half an eternity left. Time will probably fly by fast as always and before I know it it will be October 16h. It is my most anticipated game of the year, sure this year has been filled with great games. But the Tales of series is special too me.
And I’m also looking forward to Dragon Quest Heroes that is released the same day, going to be a JRPG feast for me. Yum, yum.

Well October is not only fun and games for me. I’m going to make a little operation, not going to go into what it is. Nothing dangerous (I hope) and I’m not doing it because of anything dangerous or something like that. It is just something to improve my quality of life.
So at least for a time I’ll be doing some other stuff in my work, can’t do my regular stuff for a while. But it’s going to be a nice relaxation to do something else. As long as I can work and don’t have to be home I’m pleased. =)

Revenging the past

Hehe, the title might sound worse than it really is. The meaning with revenging is that I finally took care of a game that has been in my backlog since I started to play JRPG’s. A game that has been bugging me for years, a game I played when I was very new to JRPG’s and I couldn’t finish it. That game is Suikoden 1 for the PlayStation. So that felt very great, I did actually manage to get to the last boss when I played the game all those years ago. But I could never beat him, guess that’s what it’s like being new at something. Because he was no match for me, I took him down fairly easy. I’m almost disappointed in how easy it was and I don’t think I was overleveled either. Around level 57 with most of the characters I used.

And speaking of the past, today I have my 8th anniversary on WordPress. I started writing in the beginning of 2006, on Blogger and Livejournal. Sadly I forgot to save those early posts when I moved around to different blogs. So I’ve been writing for about 9years all in all, but what exactly does this have to do with the past? Well you see I started writing blogs as a way for me to went my feelings and stuff, since it was hard talking about various things with friends and others not being so understanding of my problems and condition. And I loved videogames, so I thought “Why the hell not write about what’s bothering me and what I love”?
I don’t write for anyone else but me, if others want to read and comment that is just a big bonus. But I do this so I can feel good. I can release my dark thoughts in text and get them out of my head, I haven’t written about everything. But pretty much and it has really helpt me to let go of some stuff.

So I am going to continue writing as long as I enjoy doing it and as long as it helps me, I do wish I took my times with some of my posts sometimes and made them bigger and better for other to read. But hey, as I said I’m writing for myself first and foremost. But who knows what will happen in the future?
I would like to write more about the anime shows I’m watching and go a bit more in depth in videogames, but then again we’ll see. Would that be something you would be interested in reading?
