The Japanese announcement trailer for Bandai Namco Entertainment’s Tales of Berseria has been released for the PS3 and the PS4. The new trailer is more like a teaser despite being two full minutes long. Majority of the trailer is just logos, brands and e-begging for liking and subscribing.

The few seconds of cinematics featuring the new main character only offer brief glimpses and snapshots of what gamers can expect from the title… which is basically just that you’re taking command of a tattered-clothed pirate. You can see the teaser trailer below.

Conversations have already started swirling around protagonist Velvet. Her pirate getup looks more like back-alley trash getup, and it’s been the topic of discussion ever since people laid eyes on her.

Of course, the one big question (beyond why Velvet is dressed the way she is if she’s supposed to be a pirate – and to Bandai Namco’s credit we don’t know if this will be explained in the game because we don’t know much about the game) is how will the whole pirate thing work its way into the gameplay?

The Tales of series was never really known for diverting away from its core gameplay to explore a completely separate, tacked-on gameplay mechanic. Usually the games center around a core feature and expand or explore concepts surrounding that feature.

With the teaser trailer focusing squarely on Velvet and her ship, it gives the impression that a large part of the adventure will take place on the high seas. Something tells me that this isn’t going to be like Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, but if Namco does manage to pull it off then all the more power to them.

You can keep an eye on the game by keeping an eye on Bandai Namco’s official website. More details are likely to come soon. The company also has Tales of Zestiria in the works and ready to make the Stateside port jump this fall for the PS3, PS4 and PC.
