Heath posted:So is Graces actually supposed to be good? I loved the hell out of Vesperia but from the trailers this looks like the anime-est game yet. Tales of Destiny was VERY anime-like (so many clichés) but it was still awesome. I've learned to give the Destiny-team a pass on their heavy use of tropes simply because it's what they do. I also really loved Vesperia but I loved Destiny as well, so I've already bought it. If you're unsure, you can always rent it and buy it if you like what you see.

Caphi posted:Actually Zagi's guards just brought out a problem I've been having with the combat, which is that in addition to everything responding faster then you, everything moves faster than you. So sometimes enemies will just decide to walk away from you and there is very little you can do. The gargantuan attack delay and completely impotent dashing (I still don't know what Critical Guard actually does; do you counter with it?) means that basically any attempt to intercept (say, Azure Edge or Destruction Field) is going to lag you more than it lags your target. I think... god, the dash-and-drop move, it's probably Wolf Fang Strike or something, that one works, but dropping an enemy means your chain is over (even if I eventually get an Arcane Arte that picks it up, that's the end of the chain in itself). Thing is, none of that works on Zagi anyway because he's either moving or hitting you and the ironguards that you're trying to break also prevent you from getting off more than a hit or two at a time. I've a lot of experience with both Vesperia versions, so I can suggest a few things:
On the Sorey topic, his picture seems older than Lloyd...but I've learned not to guess the age of anime characters from their appearance.

Endorph posted:Iunno, it's pretty easy to buy. He's a tiny lil' guy, still kind of awkward, and he's still in school. Well, it's not like we don't usually hear about teenage geniuses making into college in our own world...most of them don't know kung-fu, though. Endorph posted:I still dont understand how Judith is 19 Really? I think the Vesperia characters all look the age they're supposed to be. Judith's voice is what sounds only a few years too old but it's not THAT much. vvvv Edit: Am I going crazy or did they actually call Anise a Puppeter (パペッター) instead of Puppeteer? Double Edit: Jade is a Fonimer! Brunom1 fucked around with this message at 03:32 on Oct 21, 2014 |

Excels posted:Nobody knows who voiced Tear in Abyss. She remained anonymous, much like Naoto in the original Persona 4. Nicole Balick (a.k.a. Nicole Karerr). She also did Stella in Legendia, girl Morgan in Fire Emblem Awakening and some others (like Naoto in Persona 4).

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).

Caphi posted:They'll probably change it quietly and ignore it, though, to be honest. I kind of hope so, it's the legitimate best option. 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).

All that we need now is for Sorey's mom to freak out and kill everything whenever he drops into critical HP.

I can't find fault with the localized voices we have nowadays - in my opinion, having lived through the dark days of PSX voiced JRPGs, they're at an all time high. It's been a very long time since I was irked by them and there are a handful of recent games that I actually prefer the english voices (Xenoblade is the first example that pops in my head).

Forest Thief Pud posted:Because Yakuza 5 is a brand new game that never made it outside of Japan in any form while Vesperia PS3 is an enhanced port that doesn't add a whole lot of things in the grand scheme of things, unless you really have to play as a gimmicky as gently caress girl pirate. Gimmicky, yes, but completely broken when you use Critical Moment to spam OVL4 on everyone.

Volt Catfish posted:I should get back to Xillia 2. I need to accept I can't (and shouldn't) do every quest. Yes. The thing that irks me most aren't the respawning generic quests but those "RED TEXT DO IT NOW!" quests that, despite being for a ultra-weak monster or require an item that I have dozens of, will not allow me complete the drat thing until I've earned a few hundred million quest points.

Hmmm, was there ever a Tales game with a woman as the actual, sole main character? Either way, pirate stuff is always good! vvv Edit: Probably didn't want to announce the next game in the US when Zestiria still hasn't been released. Brunom1 fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Jun 6, 2015 |

Endorph posted:there were some IOS games and a couple of the tales of the world games but not a mainline game, no I suppose it could be said that, while Jude shared the main character spot in Xillia, Milla was the de facto MC of that one since the plot pretty much revolved around her. Speaking of, I'm seeing a handful of bitching about how Velvet is Milla with black hair and a bunch of belts.
