There’s a distinct lack of fun in the portrayal of the party in this DLC that was present in Zestiria and made your main adventure joyful.

Even if it is to protect Alisha from the truth behind Sorey’s disappearance, it’s very out-of-character. Rose’s shift in personality is jarring compared to the main game - she was upbeat and had matured much through her journey with Sorey, but in Alisha’s Story, her secretive behavior leads to an antagonistic and cold attitude toward Alisha, with whom she originally shared a mutual respect. Because Alisha and Rose dominate, the Seraphim are sidelined, and their relationship isn’t as endearing as Sorey and Mikleo’s is. The rest of the characters suffer slightly, too. It’s ultimately her lack of airtime in the bulk of Zestiria that causes this problem, as it leaves Alisha’s Story very little to work with. It’s not the pay-off fans wanted, and she pales in comparison to previous Tales Princesses like Estelle and Natalia. Alisha gets much of the limelight in this episode and does mature over the course of the journey from a naive Princess to a focused and determined one through cutscenes, but her character is far less enticing than the rest of the cast, with her role often being reduced to the hapless heroine, especially at the end. The extra story feels tacked on to the main plot, and although its main intention is to allow Alisha to shine, it doesn’t fully achieve that goal either. Alisha is reunited with Rose after a sudden encounter with malevolence, notices that Sorey is not present, and embarks on a quest to discover the truth behind Sorey’s absence and attempt to reunite with him. The story follows shortly after the end of the main game. As Alisha was robbed of a satisfying arc, I hoped that at the minimum Alisha’s Story would build upon her character and flesh her out beyond the naive and duty-bound princess, but the Tales series’ first story-driven downloadable content falls short of expectation.

To compensate for their disappointment, Bandai Namco released Alisha’s Story for free for a limited time, an additional chapter that would explain what happened to Alisha after the end of the game. Her quick and sudden departure from the party was poorly handled in-game, and given Bandai Namco’s heavy marketing campaign for her character, fan backlash was huge. It’s difficult to ignore the controversy that surrounded Alisha back when Tales of Zestiria released in Japan.
