In "Tales of Berseria," the back up character possesses more than one soul than other characters upon battle entry. This means that a character's loss in a battle allows a player to switch a substitute character to fight the opponent. To execute the switch, the player just has to push down on the d-pad. Upon the switch, the new character in battle has additional souls to the number of souls he had.

Overall, "Tales of Berseria" is set to hit game stores in 2017.
