Thanks so much for the dedication, I appreciate it! >w<
Also, good to hear you started Tales of Zestiria! I really hope you enjoy it! The anime started a couple days ago too, so hopefully you can find some time to watch it after finishing the game. Well, I recommend watching it after anyway, especially since you already started and there's already a ton of spoilers in the pilot episode, haha. So far, its absolutely gorgeous visually (Ufotable's doing the animation again) and it seems to have gotten off to an interesting start, pre-telling events that happened before the game and even throwing in some very subtle symbolism on how its going to bridge with Berseria. (You might not catch it, unless you've seen the past game trailers for it or at least, read over some details.) Although, it seems like just about anyone can go into it without prior knowledge, I recommend doing a bit of research for anyone who can't play the game, just so they can head in with at least a little background info to refer to. Also, one more important thing! I highly recommend watching the subs on Daisuke.net. Their subs go based on the game's localized terminology, while Funimation's doesn't. Unfortunately, like other stream services, Daisuke recently launched their paid-premium plan and it also happened to include the Zestiria anime, so if you're okay with 1-week delays then it might be best to wait, but if you're impatient like I am, you can stick to Funi's subs, if that bothers you... or if both bother you, you can wait until Funimation releases the dub. They were able to bring back the game cast too, as expected! But, since Funi's subs don't follow the localized terms, it'll more than likely be adjusted in the dub.
