Given Zestiria is eager to relate the two series in regards Malevolence, I’m guessing the final fight will involve Velvet in some fashion, although in what manner remains to be seen. Also intriguing is the further Berseria spoilers brought up, particularly the Velvet Crowe history and how it relates to the calamities.
These breadcrumbs all but guaranteed the girl will factor into the Lord of Calamity’s defeat-doubt there will be a cliff hanger at this point-but I’m not sure she is a turncoat just yet. It’s your paint by numbers approach to villains, although his aide/adjutant keeps things interesting with her repeated appearances and refusal to specify why she’s telling the party everything. The guy is the root of all calamity, he plans on ending the world with one brobdingagian explosion-insert customary Megumin joke here-and also finds solace in doing everything in the cold, northern wastelands. This episode was textbook “calm before the storm”, as the party was finalized, copious back story revealed, and the story’s game ending power ups brought to light.Īs far as end bosses go, the Lord of Calamity fleshed out this week certainly breaks no molds. Having brought Alisha and Rose together with Sorey, the gears have now switched from prolonged character development towards dealing with the end boss. Gentlemen, it’s finally here, Zestiria’s endgame.
