If you are big into anti-heroes it may hit the spot. Tales of Zestiria the X is an anime television series based on the Tales of Zestiria and Tales of Berseria video games developed by Bandai Namco Studios and tri-Crescendo and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The thing about the bland dungeons is that they’re so unnecessarily big and wide that they felt empty somehow. Usually tales of games are completely self contained. Check to the left of the cave for a chest with a Topaz Fragment and then collect the geotree next to the chapel before approaching Rokurou for a scene. It works on a fixed template and half of it is locked at the start of the game. Cliché as it is, you play as Sorey, a village. Berseria retroactively improves Zestiria whereas Berseria is outright spoiled on a pretty important plot twist by Zestiria.
