Are you playing Xillia or something? I figured you just beat an enemy and it was added.

Yeah I am, and so did I, but I've got three enemies left unregistered in Magnus Zero and I'm sure as hell fighting them but nothing's coming up. Bah humbug.

Endorph posted:My theory is that the party will split at some point, with four going one way and four going the other. It'd fit with the 'Sorey betrays himself' theory some people have been tossing around, too. Going by stuff Lailah has said, the bad thing Sorey risks is becoming so embittered/in despair that he generates his own Defilement and becomes Possessed. I suspect if that really happens or if Sorey is otherwise knocked out of commission in some way, Rose gets a character chapter and possibly becomes a second Shepherd.

Caphi posted:In my continuing adventure through Vesperia: Truth be told, I never liked Destruction Field precisely for that reason - the wind-up leaves you open. For Fatal Strikes, it's less about the color of the arte you're using and more about the number of hits that the attack does (which is why Shining Fang is pretty much Yuri's best blue arte for the entire game); at the point you're at, FSing an enemy is just a quicker way of taking out the last bits of HP but, as the Skills start coming in, doing Fatal Strikes will allow for stuff like recovering TP which is pretty much essential if you want more freedom to attack. Enemies WILL get bulkier as you move along and FSing them will matter a bit more, especially if you remember their particular color weakness (and, regardless of that, FSing a boss is always nice damage). No idea on the Crushing Eagle thing - all I could find related to "衝破" was that it's a mandarin verb that means "to break through". What is this even supposed to mean in japanese? Their own wiktionary entry only points out to the chinese verb. By the by, those stairs ARE bullshit (I'd suggest switching to Rita and spamming OVL/Fireball as the boss is weak to fire).

衝破 is a word localization teams seem to throw away on a regular basis (which I learned while trying to find a precedent for Alisha's Mystic Arte, the tragically precedented "Light Blast"), so there's no real precedent for it as an arte name component, and 烈砕 is completely out. If it were a five-kanji Arte I'd say something like "Pulverizing Quake". As it stands, I'd go closer to "Crushing Wave." (Though fun fact: Crushing Eagle comes back as an Ivar arte.) If you weren't paying attention to me a few weeks ago (not that I'm blaming you), Alisha's Mystic Arte is 翔破裂光閃 (extremely roughly, "Rising Rending Light"). It was originally a Mystic Arte used by Judas, but the first time it came to English, it was in Abyss as an FOF change to 閃光墜刃牙 ("Light Falling Fang," but officially "Light Spear Cannon"), itself an Arcane version of an old Arte called 閃空裂破 ("Light Air Rend", officially "Light Spear", though for god knows what reason, Alvin in Xillia had it as "Tornado Drive"). Anyway, this the Arte, the one that was an upgrade to "Light Spear Cannon", that ends up being Light Blast. They'll probably change it quietly and ignore it, though, to be honest. I kind of hope so, it's the legitimate best option. Anyway, that's enough of me acting like Kajitani. quote:By the by, those stairs ARE bullshit (I'd suggest switching to Rita and spamming OVL/Fireball as the boss is weak to fire). Can't. The fight starts as Yuri alone, with other PCs filtering in over time; hopefully Rita is among those who joins, but even so I still don't have the Moon Selector. I'll just set it down to normal for bosses like I always do. Maybe I should just main Repede. It'll only be the third time I've primarily played a secondary "partner" character on grounds of being faster. But then, the game likes to isolate Yuri a lot, doesn't it? Much more than usual, surely.

Eh, maybe they had some weird reasons for outright renaming attacks...that said, I've no idea what led them to go with that CANNON bit. And I totally forgot that Yuri started out alone. That said, you don't need to attack the Giant - just free run for a bit and people will join in (Rita will be present, too). Since, indeed, you can't have the Moon Selector at this point, your best bet would be to turn off all of Rita's sells except for those that the boss are weak to and set her AI to go all out with TP and stay away. Her attacks will, at least, have an easier time to stagger the boss (if you go into OVL with Yuri, open with Wolf Strike to break his guard and spam Destruction Field as you won't have anything better).

Back to news - murmurs on the internet say that Zestiria is going to have full attachments just like Xillia.
|
# ? Oct 22, 2014 22:48 |

uh if it didn't nobody would buy the game in the states full custom attachments is probably the biggest advancement in tales games since I dunno, the ability to map more than 4 artes?

Having a giant version of every mascot character ride every character's head was easily my favorite part of Xillia, they'd better keep it!

Playing as a team of Elles with Aviators is probably the best thing about Xillia 2

The best thing about Xillia 2 is the feeling of discomfort you get from making Alvin or Rowen into Presa or the hilarity of turning Elize into Jiao.

My one real complaint about Xillia 2 was that it was hard to get the aviators until pretty late in the game. Couldn't they have made them a reward for an early job board mission or something? ^^^ The Ivar costume was made for Muzet, and no one can convince me otherwise.

None of the postgame dungeons in any of the Tales games I've played have been any good. Symphonia's has a bad gimmick and is generally a slog. Graces has random treasure chest hell. Xillia's was like a post-processing nightmare mixed with reused maps. Xillia 2's was just boring and a bit too cryptic with its gimmicks.
