I went over the video and catalogued all of the "Flame Sword Alterations" I could see. Rising Wyvern -> Rising Phoenix Lightning Thrust -> Rising Phoenix Swallow Blade -> Infernal Torrent Demon Fang -> Explosive Ring Dragon Swarm -> Explosive Ring Sword Rain: Alpha -> Rending Flash Double Demon Fang -> Incineration Wave We haven't seen how aerial Artes are altered, but we do have solid confirmation that Alphen has "Neppa Senpuujin" (aka Searing Gale), which is probably the altered version of Severing Wind, and Rising Falcon probably also becomes Rising Phoenix because that's happened before via Altered Artes. We also now confirm that not every Arte of Alphen's has a unique altered version-some are shared.

I love how Alphen's starting sword in the demo footage is called Sincleaver that's so metal

Do you think that Shionne using fire magic is connected to the flame sword?

Sorry to double post, but Siliconera did a thing on Kisara, talking about her mechanics. https://www.siliconera.com/preview-kisara-feels-like-an-unbreakable-tank-in-tales-of-arise/ She's got Guardian Field, which can heal, like usual, and they don't mention it using the healing gauge? Which could be really useful.

I am very amused that they're doing a Pretty Woman style 'oh wow the beautiful woman is in pretty clothes and turns out to be really beautiful now' reveal while Alphen is still wearing the full-face mask. It just looks very silly.

Looking at it, it's almost as if part of the left side of his face was flensed off, most likely in combat. And yet, despite putting her in a cage (which might actually have been done on her request/precaution considering her curse), he doesn't cross the line in treating Shionne with disgust.

I'm still really curious how far they're going to go with "what if resent Renans but too much." We know Rinwell has a chip on her shoulder about Shionne, and Dohalim and Kisara(?) believe in the possibility of equality. What's the world going to look like when our heroes are done with it, and how is it going to get there?

I'm looking for suggestions on how(or if) I can enjoy this series. I bounced off this series pretty hard in the PS1 days and decided to try it again. I'm playing Tales of Berseria, and I'm a modest way through(got to the capital). I've not lost a single battle. I'm playing on normal mode, and all I do is set every character to auto, and let it go. I win every fight easily. I haven't had to limit certain artes or change much of strategy. My guys just win every time with ease. I find the battle system too involved to actually control it myself, as I don't want to set and memorize a bunch of inputs for 6 characters, so I'm fine with auto everything. I mostly liked FF12; where I could set up some actions, interfere when needed, and tweak as necessary. This is different though. In Tales of Berseria, I can just set everything to auto, and just go. All I do is change out equipment when they master it. I've not yet needed to buy a piece of equipment, or dismantle equipment, or anything that needs any thought. Does the game get to the point where I'll need to do anything? I'm fine(and would like) having to manage certain artes and equipment for certain areas or battles, but so far all I've had to do is walk to the next area and let the game play itself on default.

I mean most of the fun of the game (imo) is picking a character and going HAM with them, and that's why I enjoy the series. If you focus on just one character to learn and just put everything else out of your head it may help. I never even thought of playing it fully auto, but I could see that maybe being fun now and then for grinding, but not engaging in the battles manually at all seems like it would lead to boredom pretty fast.

you, don't have to memorize inputs. berseria's combat system isn't built to be complicated or difficult, it's working with one of the rougher combat systems in the series as a base and didn't have time or resources to rework it into something more polished and in-depth so most of what it does is just build itself to make mashing buttons feel good and not much else, it's kinda bad at explaining its mechanics but all you really do is press buttons to do cool attacks. there's not much point to the combat in the series in general if you don't want to actively engage with controlling characters

also the inputs are just the face buttons, yeah. the fun is in picking a character and figuring out combos with them. it isn't fighting game inputs.

But why manually use any character if you can win every battle with default settings on auto? I can see the fun in learning a character, and maybe ending battles faster, but why even bother with that if you can just set it to auto and do your taxes while they fight? What is the purpose of learning anything if the AI accomplishes the same results as you with no input from the player? What have you really accomplished by taking control of something that was going to complete your goal with no input from you either way?

Idk, I guess that’s kinda true but AI Velvet is actually kinda bad cause ally AI in general isn’t quite as aggressive as a player would be which pairs poorly with Consume Claw. But yeah, higher difficulties are actually a thing with benefits for the player so if your issue is that the combat is superfluous rather than bad that might get fixed soon.

I stopped learning the mechanics because they don't do anything, I was learning the mechanics for the first few hours until I learned there was a win button in setting the game to auto. If mechanics can be ignored then are they really mechanics at all?

I’m sure that Arise will still be completable by setting the entire party to auto on normal or whatever. But also that’s what that’s for. Like if you don’t feel like engaging in combat and just want Tales’ story beats you can just always set the entire party to auto and if you’re enjoying playing this way, go on ahead and keep auto battling.
