Man Arise is looking so cool, I played berseria on release and never did end up getting back to playing it in New Game + so I can't wait to have a tales game to play again

some rando gameplay things ive picked up 1) kisara blocks rather than dodgerolls, which is neat variety 2) its like xillia, every character has their own gimmick in combat. after using an arte alphen can hold down the arte button to extend it at the cost of hp, rinwell can charge her spells and then store them for later use which lets her do big combos, kisara gets buffs when she blocks attacks, dohalim's staff gets bigger when he does a perfect dodge, like leia in xillia 3) you can only equip 6 artes, 3 for ground and 3 for the air https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ_SaakVwl8 heres an extremely indepth breakdown of the combat from a tales fan

The Team Strike moves are suspiciously close to the instant kill thing from Vesperia (forget the name) Endorph posted:some rando gameplay things ive picked up I'm getting hyped!

I'm watching the review gameplay and I like how the group banters and discusses tactics on the fly during battle. It adds character and reminds the player what to do with specific enemies-Alphen will call to to Rinwell when an enemy is casting for her to stop her, Law mentions that he can break enemy shells, Shionne says she'll take the lead with flying enemies that her bullets can knock down, Dohalim gets a little poetic when he talks about binding agile enemies and Shionne calls him out, going 'less talking, more fighting!', etc. etc. There's also some interesting character notes-Rinwell is apparently jealous of Shionne's healing artes, saying her astral artes are only good for destruction.

Arise is looking really good. Gameplay looks totally up my alley and if the guy in that preview is right about the game being filled with fun character interactions even ignoring skits then I think i'm going to be super into this game.

Also, I think people might be right on Dohalim being an Earth and Dark caster, given that his unique action involves binding with vines and his dual strike attack with Kisara has him summon a giant crystal, not to mention his MA. In fact I paused during his Kisara dual, and his eyes do glow blue, just like Shionne's. I wonder if that means we might get some new spells based on plants and crystals with him, instead of the usual rocks, rocks, and more rocks that earth spells usually are.

I would absolutely love to see some plant magic, that has been something this series has been super lacking. The only one I can think of offhand was Rita's Ivy Rush.Hellioning posted:Big fan of the giant rear end shield. According to her equipment screen she only has a slot for the shield. I guess the mace is just there for emotional support.

Okay I was checking out the RPGFan preview, and this comment appears about Rinwell: "Each character also has a unique combat mechanic. My favourite of these belongs to the party mage Rinwell. For Rinwell, spells that take time to cast can be stored when fully charged with a press of the right shoulder button. This stored spell is instantly cast after your next spell but, to make this even more interesting, if you store and cast the same spell again, the first cast becomes an upgraded spell. Charge up Freeze Lance and store it? Casting Freeze Lance again instead casts Tidal Wave and Freeze Lance in quick succession. "

The even wilder thing about Rinwell, if I understand 4Gamer's description correctly, is that if you cast a spell of a different element to your stocked spell, it picks a "special" spell based on the combination of the two. Presumably this applies not only to combining her own types, but any she's stolen from an enemy. 4Gamer says this as part of a section in which they assure us that while there are only six bindings (eventually to become twelve), "through a variety of conditions, you have access to an array of derived artes." The other examples they give are Alphen's Flaming Edge artes (where most of his strikes can be converted into a flaming version that damages him in place of AG) and an unspecified "hold the button" mechanic of Shionne's. I suspect Kisara's artes work differently when she uses them while guarding, as part of that mechanic. I'm extremely hype for this game.

The way some of these are described makes me think a lot of it is stuff we've seen before updated and remixed a bit. Dohalim's staff extension crit thing is Leia's from Xillia, Rinwell's spell-charge could be a couple different things: it might be the up-spelling you can do in Graces/Zest/Bers, or it might be something like Abyss' FoF just at will instead of having to find them on the ground. Alphen's sword skills sound kinda like they'll end up being like Bersie's "hold button to chain specific artes together" which might give him access to most/all of his skills if you set the right ones and don't mind him using up all his own hp. I was a bit worried about the "6 artes" thing, but the game seems like it's pretty packed, so that's probably not as limiting as it sounded. Plus almost everything they've shown so far can all be expanded on with the skill system they haven't shown yet. Tales characters usually get a lot of perks and quirks as they gain whatever the system's gimmicks are, so there's a lot of room for this cast to be incredibly fun and diverse playstyle-wise. Kisara might even get a Chloe-style "choose your own revenge" move and we haven't seen that in ages. I'm excited about it. Not to mention that there's easily space for two more characters in the boost assist UI that may or may not end up being used for things.

Ershalim posted:Not to mention that there's easily space for two more characters in the boost assist UI that may or may not end up being used for things. Regarding that, I remember an earlier article that Zephyr would join as a "support character" which it's easy to see describing the characters who aren't in battle but whose Boost Attacks you can call in. It might just be common language but it would be really cool if you could bring NPCs with you who weren't full fighters but worked as Boost assists.

he looks like a rival character who'd appear halfway through a shoujo manga about a cold and tormented swordsman, challenging him to a battle in revenge for past transgressions he no longer remembers. so he's perfect

A bit weird to have English voice acting for the cutscenes and then Japanese voice acting for the combat, but eh. Also kind of hoping we can just keep Alphen in that helmet for the entire game as a costume.

People have checked out: -Lightning is a separate element, it's not grouped with light or wind or is a fire + wind combo, it's it's own thing -Dohalim is our Earth and Dark caster-he's got Negative Gate, Bloody Howling, Stalagmite and Air Pressure (as well as one healing move)

In Like a Dragon at least it's a result of the way certain voice lines are placed in the games files as SFX making them prohibitively time-consuming to find. Judgment did the same thing. But in this case, Berseria didn't have that problem so I can't imagine why Arise would.
