Aside from "Tales of Zestiria" making its North American debut this week on PlayStation 3 and 4, and Windows PC, fans will be hyped to know that Bandai Namco has also announced a huge ton of downloadable content (DLC) that will be made available during the launching. In addition, "Tales of Symphonia" will reportedly be included as a pre-order bonus for the said game.
According to Destructoid, Bandai Namco revealed that a landslide of DLC will be available for the forthcoming "Tales of Zestiria." And despite the game being not released until October 16, gamers can enjoy some of that free upcoming DLC for a limited time.
International Business Times reported that the first two DLC packs will be the "Mystic Artes" and an additional story chapter about Alisha. It is worth noting that the former is tantamount to powerful moves that each character can use in the battle. Meanwhile, there further details regarding the chapter revolving around Alisha are yet to be determined. Nonetheless, it is said to be interesting to see how an extra story chapter can influence the gameplay.
For gamers who will get the digital version of "Tales of Zestiria," they will reportedly acquire the "Mystic Artes" in the copy. The Alisha Chapter, on the hand, is only free up until November 18 and will have to be paid for after the said date. The DLC unveiled by Bandai Namco are reportedly the least offensive content in modern gaming, while most of the changes are either cosmetic or of least importance in the gameplay.
Furthermore, NeoSeeker reported that along with the pre-order bonuses unlocked for "Tales of Zestiria" is the digital PC copy of "Tales of Symphonia." Hence, fans who will pre-order will get to receive over 120 hours of gaming content along with few nifty bonuses. If Zestiria is known for its fantasy settings and robust battles, Symphonia, on the other hand, is more of a traditional JRPG story.
Well, it seems that fans are in for a treat considering just how much they'll be getting from all the DLC - let alone the inclusion of "Tales of Symphonia."
