What it comes down to is that it was “easier to create Riders out of enemy characters.” With the different skills in play, they “can be understood by looking at each enemy character’s design.” This is true even from a distance.

Tales of Berseria Remastered review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 4 weeks ago by Richard Ford in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: February 26, 2026
Developer: Bandai Namco
Publisher: Bandai Namco
My experience with Bandai Namco’s storied Tales of franchise amounts ultimately to my time playing Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Vesperia, two games I loved playing dearly a few years back due to several of their characters appearing in the Nintendo 3DS Project X Zone series of games and piquing my interest in learning about their original stories. After Namco’s recent remasters of the above mentioned Tales titles, I was excited to branch out and play some titles in the series I had yet to experience; Tales of Berseria was one of them. The slightly different style of JRPG gameplay and more intense storytelling appealed to me, and having the main protagonist be a female character was a cool switch-up to what I’d experienced previously and was curious how that would impact the way the story was presented. While the storytelling of Tales of Berseria is unquestionably the highlight of the game, this specific version perhaps has not done enough to justify a brand-new release with a ‘remaster’ title.
