![]() The weapon enhancement system was frustrating in the game. So far, Tales of Zestiria the X seems to be doing a fine job with the elements that it has included, and the stuff it has cut doesn’t seem to matter. Adapting elements of video games into a non-gaming environment is always interesting, as many gameplay elements wouldn’t necessarily make sense out of original context (when you think about it, most of the stuff that either gets cut or adapted–like weapon enhancement–are things the player actually does while the character remains stationary). It will be interesting to see if attributes plays more of a role in the remainder of the series, as such an implementation seems to have the possibility of making the characters too overpowered. In this case, Mikleo encounters Atakk who, as the name may suggest, is able to boost the Attack attribute, which we see played out when he buffs Mikleo and makes him capable of dealing more damage. The anime seems to have adapted this by having the Normin basically buff whatever stat it represents via magic while it is with the individual. Those who have played the game will remember the Normin as 50 individual creatures that each represent one of the 50 attributes that can affect your weaponry. In terms of original content, this episode brings about the end of Mikleo’s quest and his subsequent reunion with his friends, but not before he rescues and befriends a Normin. That’s not a criticism of the translation at all–I just found the term “dragon puppy” to be amusing and thought it worth sharing in case anyone missed it. As a side note, I also found it humorous that when the subtitles used the term “drake,” the characters were literally saying, “dragon puppy.” I may not understand much Japanese, but those were clearly English terms. Regardless, we are still treated to an epic battle to quell the waters. To my knowledge, the progression of events differs at this point, as I believe in the game Alisha sent for Sorey to see if he could do anything to help them, while in the anime Alisha and some of her team set off to find another route, with Sorey and his party coming across the bridge by other means. ![]() Continued abuse of our services will cause your IP address to be blocked indefinitely.Screenshot taken from: Review: This episode presents a familiar scene from the game: Alisha and company need to reach the infected town, but the bridge has been washed out, thanks to an angry spirit (though they seem to be oblivious to this).
