In a Funimation email I got ([web
version](http://view.em.funimation.com/?qs=e790ba1e89b120a66cdb33fe53d332a8816502971da3efed162929c203c293ce352894cc7c48f1a786c9cd251036a7c6ad9244540a84098bb2453b8204b901f0)),
it was talking about the _Tales of Zestiria The X_ anime. In it, it says

> It's time to switch gears and meet a new heroine in our tale and of the
> upcoming game Tales of Berseria. Velvet Crowe has been imprisoned on a
> remote island for three years but the time for her breakout has come. With
> revenge on her mind and demonic powers at her call, will she get what she
> wants or will her own vengeance create a dangerous bout of malevolence?

What I picked up on was the mention of another _Tales of_ game. Generally from
my understanding, most _Tales of_ games are set in/on separate worlds and
unless they share the same main title (e.g. _Tales of Symphonia_ / _Tales of
Symphonia: Dawn of the New World_ or _Tales of Xilla 1/2_ ) are generally
independent of one another.

However, as the quote mentions, Velvet Crowe is from _Tales of Berseria_.
Below is a screenshot from the _Tales of Zestiria The X_ that was in the
Funimation email.

And below are the cover shot and screenshot from _Tales of Berseria_ showing
Velvet.

While she appears to be wearing something different between _Tales of Zestiria
The X_ and _Tales of Berseria_ , her face, hair, and arm still look the same.

So I am wondering, is there a connection between _Tales of Zestiria_ and
_Tales of Berseria_? Is the _Tales of Zestiria The X_ anime serving as a
bridge between the two?

question
tales-of-zestiria tales-of-berseria
Are Tales of Zestiria and Tales of Berseria connected in any way?


Tales of Berseria took places thousand of years before Zestiria during the
time where human could still see Seraph (which during the time are called
Malaks who descended from the heaven in droves after some sort of ritual
during the Scarlet night).

The anime most likely try to connect the two by showing the origins of
Hellions (Daemons as they called it during Berseria) and how Malaks develop
emotion to become Seraphs of the Zestiria timeline. and as the episode 5 title
suggest the Beginning of the Calamity.

P/S She wears some sorts of prison robe. she got back in gears after
plundering what looks to be the prison Armory
