Tales of Zestiria

Tales of Zestiria (テイルズ オブ ゼスティリア) is the upcoming fifteenth title in Tales series. The title was announced on Nico Nico Live on December 12, 2013 as the series's twentieth anniversary title. An English localization has been announced despite not having been released in Japan yet.

Setting
Unlike Tales of Xillia 2, Tales of Zestiria returns to a normal fantasy setting. On the continent of Greenwood, there are two main powers, namely the Kingdom of Highland and the Empire of Lowlance, fighting for rule and supremacy. There are multiple religious beliefs in Greenwood, but the people all have their beliefs in the "Divine People", believing in their existence despite not having seen them themselves. This is because there are people from time to time who appear and can communicate with the Divine. These people are able to borrow the Divine's power and are called priests.

A long time passed, and deep within a forest called The Forest of The Divine lies something that resembles a utopia, where humans and the Divine can live together. Here, other humans cannot enter, and the "impurity" that has been spreading throughout the world does not affect the place. The story begins when Slay, a young man forbidden to go outside of his village deep within the forest, meets Alicia, a female princess-becoming-knight, in an ancient ruin, when it collapses. This young man is accompanied by Mikulio who is one of the Divines.
