Two nations are at war across a medieval fantasy realm, and Sorey takes on the role of the Shepherd. His task is to stand against human darkness and the Malevolence it breeds, and to bring humans and Seraphim together again. His friend Mikleo and Lailah, keeper of the Sacred Blade, travel with him as a hidden power gathers in the background.
Tales of Zestiria is a role-playing game with a battle system built around fusions between Sorey and the Seraphim, and fights take place inside the exploration environments instead of on separate screens. Animated sequences come from the studio ufotable. It has full controller support and is listed with multiplayer, and it suits fans of anime-styled party RPGs.
