I played 10 hours of this & while the game wasn’t terrible, I haven’t seen any reason to return back to it. As far as plots go, this feels ripped straight out of a B tier shonen anime & unlike others I don’t like to say anime tropes are a detriment to a game. People seem to think games like Xenoblade Chronicles 2 are “too anime” which I don’t really understand personally. However I mean it when I say that this game absolutely suffers because of how tropey it feels. Sorey is legitimately one of the most generic & bland MCs I’ve seen in a long time. He’s your typical hero character where he becomes the “chosen one” aka the shepherd just cause the plot demands it. The rest of the cast are fine but nothing too special (except Edna she’s fun). The combat is pretty mediocre sadly. Best thing I can say about Zestiria so far though is definitively the soundtrack which is honestly really really solid. Will I return to this game someday? Perhaps. But I wouldn’t count on it being anytime soon. I just have other stuff I’d rather play first so for now this is going to be pushed aside.
