So why is Kuvo's avatar Persona related now? You'd think he'd get Repede or Karol

Probably because he streamed a play-trough of Persona 4 and always dissed the "band girl" (I don't even remember what she was really called) and the text under his avatar was a running joke/saying.

In another game, Karol might be the protagonist. I mean, this sure seems like the first quest he'd do, braving his fear of the Eggbear to make a potion nobody else thinks will work.

Why is Pow Hammer still a thing. I don't remember it ever being good in any Tales game.

It's actually pretty useful in Symphonia :shobon:

The talk about bumping down the difficulty down to easy felt a bit silly to me since this game isn't very hard. Now I'm not so sure any more. The boss from the demo will be interesting to see since a lot of people couldn't even beat the demo because of him.

Most of the dumb poo poo in Symphonia they did was from being drunk/not paying attention to the story/not paying attention to the story while getting drunk. In actual battles I don't remember them being too incompetent, Wind Chicks notwithstanding.

This game is definitely hardest in the beginning. I played through it multiple times and felt it was quite easy, then Kasemoch and I started a new game right as this thread began and we found ourselves dying fairly often early on much to my surprise. There are a few fights in particular coming up that I can see you having issues with.

Once you get a wider variety of skills and artes you're not so much a slave to the few the game provides you in the beginning and survival will be less of a problem. Don't turn it to Easy, though.

This is because Alex. It wasn't until 75% of the way through the game that Kuvo started to use guard, and the other two never did.

Alex made up for his comparative competence in battle by paying less attention to where the game was telling them to go than the other 3 combined.

Actually there are free skill packs available for both Yuri and Estelle right now on XBLA. They include some very basic helpful skills backstep included, it's not game breaking just handy. I recommend Kuvo get them.

Welcome to the group of people that somehow ended up buying a Tales game thanks to Kuvo/T40's bumbling through one. There should also be a starter pack with some free gels and I do recommend grabbing backstep if the pack is free. It's pretty useful, especially for melee characters.

Tense situations, Karol. You get into five or six of 'em a day, it don't mean poo poo anymore. I mean, I've seen men stabbed, didn't mean poo poo to me. I've seen blastia, blastia too, they don't mean poo poo. But that's when you gotta watch yourself.

Backstep is plenty useful for casters too. I mained the primary caster, and backstep was really useful when your idiot party members decided that they didn't want to protect the squishy.

I mean, until you got to the part of the game where you could basically infinitely stunlock everything and the rest of your party became superfluous.

So when are you guys going to address the renaming feature? I don't why the game would let you rename the characters when most of the cutscenes are voices.

Also, the anime talk seems rather fitting, since we should be meeting someone voiced by yet another well known anime VA in the next ep.
