Tales Of Zestiria (Incl. ALL DLC’s)

War, superstition, and spiritual corruption shape a sprawling fantasy journey where an idealistic young man becomes the Shepherd, a chosen figure able to see the Seraphim hidden from ordinary people. Tales of Zestiria follows Sorey as he leaves his sheltered home to confront Malevolence, the poisonous force born from human cruelty, while trying to mend the divide between people and the elemental spirits living beside them. Its medieval Glenwood setting balances bright anime adventure energy with a surprisingly earnest story about faith, prejudice, and the cost of saving a world that often refuses to change.

Travel centers on crossing large connected fields, towns, ruins, forests, and ancient shrines, finding equipment, completing side objectives, and uncovering lore through skits between party members. Combat uses the series’ real-time Linear Motion Battle System, letting you strike, guard, evade, exploit elemental weaknesses, and swap Seraphim partners as fights unfold directly in the environment rather than on a separate battle screen. The defining mechanic is Armatization, which merges Sorey or certain allies with a Seraph to create powerful fused forms with altered weapons, magic, and defensive traits. Gear skills and equipment fusion add a layer of build planning, while battle encounters can support local multiplayer for players who want to control additional party members.

What separates Zestiria from many JRPGs is the way its party chemistry, expansive outdoor regions, and elemental fusion system support one another. Ufotable’s polished anime cutscenes give major moments real visual flair, but the world is just as memorable in quieter stretches where Sorey, Mikleo, Lailah, and the rest trade jokes or debate their mission. The included DLC collection broadens the package with extra cosmetic items, bonus scenarios, and additional content for players who want more beyond the main campaign. Fans of Tales of Vesperia, Ni no Kuni, or character-driven action RPGs should find plenty to enjoy, though newcomers should expect a combat system that rewards learning its deeper equipment and fusion mechanics.
