I spent the last week or two reading all this, seems like a pretty good game. Of course I had to catch up right before the big confrontation to the guy behind it all  Yuri seems like a cool dude and even though I like the cast, I can't help but feel he might've been even better in a group of people more mature. Sure, you have some nice scenes where he helps Karol grow up, but it would've been a very nice chance of pace if there was more stuff like his debate with Flynn. Stabbey_the_Clown posted:

Why did he spend all that time using a bow if he doesn't even fight for real with one?

I would say they wouldn't have gone through the trouble of making a fully playable character just to kill them off, but they went and did exactly that in the two games made directly after this one.

So it went from Raven is a traitor to Raven actually cares about the group to Raven is dead to nevermind Raven is back alive again and is perfectly fine all in the span of a few minutes? This scene should've been at least a little further in.

BlitzBlast posted:Raven also isn't buddies with some of the most politically powerful people in the planet with the most advanced transportation technology available. The whole thing in Abyss was just dumb. Uh, Alexi is exactly that. Like, literally the same thing. He also doesn't seem to be doing it for any reason other than because he could, Anise had her parents kidnapped.

The dungeons in general seem pretty terrible, I can't think of any you've gone through that you haven't called bad. It's a shame they seem pretty Tales standard, which says a lot about the series really. Hopefully you won't have to switch between parties while riding incredibly tedious moving platforms every few seconds.

Yeah, it was Graces F I was thinking of. Abyss is like a huge 80 hour blur to me, but if they really thought that dungeon gimmick was good enough to use twice, that makes it even worse than I thought.

For some reason I find Sodia really annoying. She doesn't seem to be doing that much, but every time she's around I just kinda stop caring.

So this is from waaay back, did they ever tell us what it was Estelle needed to contact Flynn about? She said his life was in danger, but we never really see what she meant. It couldn't have been Zagi, because she only just met him the same time Yuri did.

These games really love taking away your healer for an extended period, don't they. I realize Karol is apparently better at it, but I always find myself anxious when I don't have someone doing it fulltime.Wild Knight posted:Yeah, this was right before they started actually using more advanced animation techniques (i.e., motion capture) in the Tales series, so I didn't mind the shift into anime. If anything, it's more jarring in Graces, which I felt basically was a 3D anime thanks to the more advanced animation, so the anime scenes that did happen looked oddly flat.

I find it weird Yuri smacked Karol's rear end out of the way, but did nothing for Rita. Surely she would go flying too.

The game actually has that, if it's like the others. You can even put them in whatever formation you want. I never think to actually use it, though, since it's only situationally useful.

For a bit there I thought Yuri was going to continue his murdering quota with Ioder. Pretty glad he didn't, though. Leaving the lower quarter to die was neglectful, but he wasn't being cartoonishly evil like the last few guys.

It wasn't the threat that made me think that, it was before that cutscene even happened. It was a lot like what happened before Cumore was killed. Seeing Yuri walking away from town and Ioder walking up to him kinda told me it wasn't his plan afteral.

Can't say I disagree with ol' Stabbey_the_Clown, Raven's fun but this is so not the time to be back to completely normal. He should've stayed in his Schwann persona at least until this whole mess is done with.

So is it me, or does Flynn's uniform keep changing? Early on the bottom half was more blue, but then it became what it is now, so I assumed it was a ranking thing, but it changed back at some point, and now it changed again.

The stakes haven't been raised high enough yet, I think. Alexi looks like he wants to take over the world when usually the bad guys want to completely destroy it. We also haven't gotten extra costumes yet, which generally happens right before the final dungeons. Or in Symphonia's case, right at the very end of the final dungeon, if you turn around and leave.

What was Sodia really expecting? They already had this discussion before and Yuri established he doesn't care what she says, so why bother trying when they're right at Alexi? Sodia is an annoying girl. Also...Admiral H. Curtiss posted:

I kind of agree with the comparison to Graces. Vesperia's high points are better, but its low points are worse because of what they could've been (so far at least, I don't know what's coming next). Graces on the other hand never really pretends to be anything more than typical anime. The cast in Graces is also better for mostly the same reason, Malik is better than Raven in every single way, for instance.

She's probably one of the worst in this game, but I don't think she could ever be as bad as say, Kratos or Regal.

MonsterEnvy posted:I'm sorry I don't get it. It's a somewhat funny line but I don't get what you mean. Regal is meant to be a badass and he ends up coming off as incredibly annoying and creepy. That line is just the easiest way to show how badly written he was. As for Kratos, he essentially blurts out his biggest plot twist in like, his second line and all his other twists shortly after. Sodia does neither of these things.

One of my favorite things about Tales games is your ability to change costumes whenever you want.

I feel the opposite way, really. We all know we're stuck with these characters the entire game, having a secret club for three of them was just really weird. Might as well just assume they're all a guild now.

It's kind of eerie how well that Mithos one fits. I generally like cameo costumes because I'm a huge lamer and this game's seem alright. Repede getting an Asura costume is pretty hardcore.

Richter's costume looks better on a woman than it did on him. I think that says a lot about his getup. Dhaos has a similar problem in Xillia.
