I have one question about the ending of Tales of Phantasia. Obviously massive spoilers. Is it correct that Martel's fate is different in each version? Puts herself in the seed in the Super Famicom version, doesn't put herself in the seed in the PS2 version, doesn't put herself in the seed and gets a barrier to keep the process private or something in the GBA version?

Eddain posted:Yeah, there are. You can look at the wikipedia article for more details. That's where I got the info. I was just wondering because the Tales Wiki said something slightly different, and I was wondering which was correct.

Reading this guide it seems you have to fight a level ONE HUNDRED SIXTY monster in chapter four for the collector sidequest. Is that true?

Blackbelt Bobman posted:Holy gently caress guys, the Twilight palace is insane. You get really amazing equipment there, and the enemies are tough as hell. And then, at the end, you fight a ridiculous boss that I couldn't even deal more than like 40 damage to each hit. Plus he has four companions who are high level monsters, which barely ever flinch, and can heal themselves pretty easily. gently caress that fight Endings: Letter = BAD "I know." = Normal Kiss = Good This is based on what I know, since I haven't had time to beat this yet (gently caress releasing the day before WotLK).

IIRC you want to let Lloyd beat you to the Lightning core at least once, so you can get a title you can only get if you do that or something.

Skyelan posted:Allegedly the way the energy flowed between the two planets and the desire to get them to work in tandem. Or something. There's a reference in ToS2 to something called the Symphonian Eight, which I think is an in-setting sentai team series vaguely based on the centurions. Speaking of ToS2, is there a skit viewer anywhere?

Blackbelt Bobman posted:if you intentionally miss the lightning core, you'll pick up Lloyd's third mask, and then there's an event later where you get the fourth mask and a title. You don't get the scene where Emil and Marta get new titles at the ending if you do that. Also, Tales of Symphonia has some pretty brutal stuff too - I really feel sorry for every one of the Four Seraphim.

SpazmasterX posted:I thought this was pretty stupid too since half of the "super" Mystic Artes all required weapons you could only get in the last quarter of the game, and the best armor and dolls and accessories are all a pain in the rear end to get the items for. This is kind of traditional in JRPGs.

Calaveron posted:So that's four games set in the Tethe'alla/Sylvarant universe? I'm guessing that the answer is that there will be another game set after DNW. It will answer that, as well as what Yuan was doing that prevented him from assisting with the whole "Dhaos" thing, and also Noishe's destiny/evolution thing. Of course that's completely half-assed speculation. EDIT: I've started playing ToA, goddamit Luke is almost as annoying as Emil. Fortunately Jade makes up for him by himself, without counting the other non-terrible characters.

Are recent Tales games made by people with an extremely abnormal hatred of video capture devices? Tales of the Abyss freaks out my video capture dongle (an EyeTV hybrid). After reinstalling the software, trying a different computer, trying a different copy of the same device, and trying other things I discovered that apparently the ONLY games which have this issue are Tales of the Abyss and ToS:DNW.

Apparently it has a bunch of backstory, and since I'm a tremendous loving nerd that appeals to me more than anything else. I'm planning to do a ToS LP so if anyone has the JPN PS2 version gimme a PM.

I really hope the Female Lead of Graces will be awesome, like Raine Sage (yes I know Colette was technically the main girl in Symphonia but seriously I wish they hadn't put a key crest on her) or Tear Grant, and not lame, like Marta Lualdi. drat that was a long sentence.

BurningCourage posted:Plus I think TOS2 was made by some weird C team within Tales Studio. They definitely didn't have their A team on that. I'd say it was more of a "B" fighting team mixed with a "Z-" writing team. For some reason fighting with Emil felt much more fluid than ToS or ToA (which are the only other Tales games I've played, I admit).

BurningCourage posted:There's a demo of Vesperia PS3 being released on the PSN on the 13th. It may or may not feature Patty. Those of you with PS3s might want to make Japanese PSN accounts. Also, Caius from Tales of the Tempest, the official Worst Tales Game, is included in Tales of Versus, over awesome characters like loving Raven or Loni. Namco have made some really odd choices with the roster for that game. Is it really worse than Symphonia 2?

ConanThe3rd posted:So I'm playing though TOS a second time and I accidently used my All-divde that I got from the Teriet Ruins and with two hours worth of playthough between my last save and then I decided to let it go. Not if you didn't steal from the fake. That said, he's totally beatable without an all-divide (ok I used one in my LP, but I was playing on mania and I came pretty close on my first attempt without one).

Eddain posted:If you can stand overly cliche Japanese stuff, Symphonia is a good start. If not, I'd suggest Abyss before Vesperia only because it's a progression of battle systems. If you played Vesperia first you might not like being reduced to Abyss' inferior combat. If you don't want to play ToS, you could always check out my LP.

That's... weird. I'd almost say it means they're going to license the LMBS engine, but that seems fairly ridiculous. Although most every JRPG would be improved that way.

BurningCourage posted:What I am hoping for with this game's battle system is for characters that actually have radically different styles of play, unlike the other Tales games where everyone was split into melee fighters, mages or characters who can do whatever they want. They've got the unique weapons thing down better than any other game in the series, now let's see if they can make the characters really differ from one another in combat. How well do ranged attackers work in Abyss/etc? I haven't gotten far enough into Abyss to get the Princess due to WoW/my LPs/etc.
