The last hit in the auto-attack string produces the biggest bonus. i.e., Rex's thrust when using Pyra's sword.

I cant tell if I should be waiting for the third strike to cancel into an art every time or if I should unload my arts as they are available. Unloading arts asap would mean my supers charge up faster, right? Is that worth the damage loss from constantly cancelling just the first horizontal slash of the auto-attack chain? Also, when the hell should I move from rear to side? I feel like I lose damage no matter what I do. There aren't any training dummies in the game, are there?

You get more of a charge when doing it on the third strike. You want to minimize moving because everytime you move you have to restart the string. For side and back attacks, only move after that third strike. The damage bonus from attacking from the proper directions makes up for the DPS loss.

I suppose even if I have to sit on fully charged arts for a little bit in order to guarantee third strike cancels, its likely made up for by the extra charge gain?

Nia's voice is good but it's also not as cartoony as you would expect from a cat girl and while that's normally fine it does feel a little weird in the comic relief bits (like the scene where Rex tells her to watch her step around the rope).

Cao Ni Ma posted:Is handheld mode as bad as I hear it is? Played a couple hours apiece in handheld mode and docked: the only real difference I've noticed is on skinny props (bare trees, bars on railings, giraffe legs etc) that are a midrange distance from the PC. They get sorta pixelated and ugly in handheld mode but it's not a huge deal. Also I just got jumped by a level 70 something Territorial Rotbert, this is definitely a Xenoblade game.

Does the combat ever speed up it feels like most of the time I'm standing there watching the slowest autoattacks ever then once in a while I can do an art. Even stuff like falling over and getting up feel like they are going at half speed. Coming from like tales or ff15 this just feels so sluggish I'd rather it be turn based.

I started playing it in Japanese then switched over to English. Thought the voices being oddly mismatched to what I expect them to sound like enhances the experience. Knew I made correct choice after rex's first heheeeeeyyy

The Moon Monster posted:she's a 14 year old American girl who is so over all of this. Early on she legit sounded like Taylor Swift to me and I'm sticking to that now Game good. Animes good. Don't really know what I'm doing much with combat combos and such but I really like it so far. The VA is nowhere as bad as I expected and is actually pretty good imo

I like in Tales of Xillia when one of the villains is making a bunch of grand threats and detailing his ten-year-long master plan and somebody just calls him a tool. not in a 'you're being used' way, just, 'what a tool.'

Honestly, I think my biggest frustration with this game is how loving finicky the collection points and salvage points are for being in the right place to activate them, which is a nuisance but certainly not gamebreaking. Otherwise, this has been a lot better than I had expected.
