| Maybe they will find a way to revive Seraphs or once they defeat the fox hyouma Maison will be saved. |
| so Avatar at the beginning. |
| Man, this just got me really excited for the game. Seeing as that was the purpose however, I guess it's not all that surprising. While I agree that Mr. Protagonist seems fairly common, I actually feel that he has a lot of potential. The rest of the cast seems to be in the same boat. As others have mentioned, the lack of remorse for the death of a villager seems really odd, but I'll get over it. My favorite 'Tales of' game is Abyss, I'm hoping this one is as good, if not better. |
| As introduction to series it may be even good, but as standalone it's rather incomplete. |
No wonder, dragon with no head must be retarded. |
jakkubus said: As introduction to series it may be even good, but as standalone it's rather incomplete. It really does feel incomplete but at same time I don't think they could have made this feel complete without giving major spoilers for the game. There doesn't seem to be any room for a decent prequel either, so I don't think there was much they could do about It.

Get out. |

| I cant wait to play this game. |
| It seems the the main problem I've had with the prior installments of the Tales series is gone, that would the unlikable characters, which as of right now doesn't seem to be the case with Zestiria, so far at least. |

| It gave me some Symphonia and Abyss vibes. Also glad that Go Shiina is doing part of the soundtrack, I am tired of Sakuraba's music. I was hoping they would show some of the other characters too, just a glimpse. Not that fond of the two protagonists, Sorey and Alisha. Sorey's design felt like it was recycled from Jude and his personality reminds me sorta of Lloyd. Alisha reminded me a bit of Tear. Either way, in the end every Tales game recycle certain cliches. ninjastarforcex said: ^ Totally. |
| I really liked this, well everything but that part where they're having a party right after one of them was eaten! That was just awkward, I hope there will be at least a few more lines here in the game While I wasn't really excited for the game, this made me want to play it. I liked Sorey and Mikleo and their friendship. Can't wait to see more of them and the interactions with other characters in the game |
| Love the story (so far), cant wait to check the game :) Funny how no one give a damn about this guy been eaten. |
 |
| I like how they just stood there and watched the guy get eaten whole. Then act all happy immediately afterwards. |
| 5/5 I did not want to see him, having no knowledge of the game, but the temptation was too strong. The only fault that can be attributed to this production is that you have not handled well the death of ...! An OVA really powerful and great, in just 45 minutes, managed to involve me without knowing virtually nothing about the game. Everything really good, beautiful designs, smooth animations, fabulous scenery and gorgeous colors. Interesting characters and Character Design which I liked very much. I wish other OVA that tell the story, who knows if it ever will make them. My vote is 8/10! |
 |
| Really liked the animation and the characters, I can't wait for the game ! |
| Fairly liked it, and now I'm more than hyped for Zestiria, can't wait for it to be released. |

 |
| Umhh.. if this could get anime series ~ i would be happy! |
~_~ ! |
| A very good special, but it's too bad there is no sequel :/. The game seems to be great ! |
| This OVA special is to promote the game after all. The game must have more content then this. I'm one of those Tales fans and played almost all main titles, except Vesperia(Don't really have time to finish it yet.) I plan on getting this next!. |
 |
| Overall was OK, but it does get me excited for the game. Also  |

| That was enjoyable. I was fearing it would be bad since being a prelude/prequel to the main game. Well I'm now excited for the game when it finally comes out now. I just hope the wait won't be too long for english release now. Sent with Mal Updater |

| Maisen die and nobody cares, dafuq O.o |

| Very good prologue. Story looks very promising, i just hope that Sorey wont disappear in game epilogue like the other shepherds did. 9/10 |
| harem and ecchi are a cancer to whole planet bad english user |
| Really nice story. Definitely it will be a second part... That's what I'm thinking :) |

| Typical Ufotable goodness. Guess it hyped up the game pretty good. With how interesting the special was, I hope that the game and manga sell well enough that they consider making a TV adaptation. Although she didn't really get significant screen time, I really liked Alisha. Very pretty, and voiced by my favorite female seiyuu, so I was pleased. |
| Maizen died and no one gave a crap! |
| Pretty cool special to hype people up for the upcoming game. There was a couple awkward shots but I feel ufoTable did a great job. From the start I already knew this was a prequel to get things into gear, just like the Vesperia movie, so my expectations were not that much. I'm enjoying the new characters a lot and Sorey is one of the better MCs in the Tales series so far, but don't tell me he's gonna be the Shepard that's gonna ensure the prosperity of humans, because that will be an acutely cliche thing. I need to buy a PS3 again, so excited for the game now. |

| Why do people have such bad taste? Anime isn't subjective anymore. |
| Definitely want to see more of the story. This just gave me the motivation to set up my pre order for the game. |
 |
| This episode was great but every time Gramps spoke it bore me to tears. |
 |
| If not for fallout probably gonna pre order the game.. |
 |
| Lol poor Maison.. |
| for a game promotion, it was decent. Average fantasy action show. 5/10 |
ninjastarforcex said: again with japanese shit taste of naming. why not Slay but SOREY? lol even ppl in the ova pronounce it like Slay with more 1 syllable S and L together not obvious 2 syllable SO-REI 'Why not Slay'... Sometimes name changes are bad. (Hello, Sasha Blouse.) But in this case, it's an improvement. IE: Refill --> Raine In the end the only difference in pronunciation is the first syllable... Su-Re-i (Slay) So-Re-i (Sorey) On-topic: This is quite nice for a promo special. Introduces just a hint of the characters, world, and story, and leaves you wanting more. If the purpose is to generate some more hype, then it has succeeded. Love the dynamics of Sorey and Mikleo. The way they fight tells me they've been doing that for a long time already. They definitely know each other well! The best of friends. |

| This show will kill SAO if they will continue to animate this one. Nice job ufotable. |
