Evil Fluffy posted:e: nothing is worse than getting the achievement using Raven to guard break some late-game boss. I forget which guy it was but I tried for hours, even breaking the guy's guard head-on with the right skill didn't trigger it and I gave up because it simply did not want to work, ever.  I think I tried like a million times against that boss to just give up trying to get that poo poo.

Camel Pimp posted:You know the problem I have with the Graces combat system and that no one ever seems to complain about; the weaknesses system. Admittedly, on lower difficulties you can just ignore it, but to use it effective there's like a million different weaknesses you have to keep track of, and each and every attack has different attributes which only sometimes make any sort of sense. Maybe I was just playing wrong, but in each and every boss fight I'd check the weakness, and then I'd have to run down the A Arte tree and the B artes to find the relevant skills I could use. Again, not really necessary in the lower difficulties, and I get the point to make you use every ability you've got, but still annoying. I love the Graces system, but this seems like something that any sequels that improve on the system should remedy. Xillia already kinda remedies this by just making weaknesses strictly just the standard 6 elements. Edit: On second thought I am literally describing basically every other tales game.

Milla is also great because unlike many other characters that are "From another world and have no idea how the real world works". She's not completely oblivious but just really misinformed and I find that pretty endearing. Also, that lisp is somehow the best.

I believe pre-set strategies have been in since maybe Symphonia? I think it's always a pain to figure out how to set them up but they've been in there.

I just occurred to me, but is Tales of Phantasia the literally most remade game ever?  It has been remade roughly 5 or so times and the only thing that I can think of that's had that many remakes is maybe one of the early FF games.

I miss the cool Thunder Blade animation that involved swinging the blade made of thunder instead of just stabbing it. Hell yeah swing a blade of lightning on some idiot monster heads. Also, I want a grappler tales character again. I want to volleyball spike Peppit babys into their monster moms. edit: I don't even remember which game had that thunder blade animation.

Is there a plot reason for that, or is this a "you are the main character" situation. You are the main character. (but you can totally turn it on in New Game +) ((It's not worth it))

Skeezy posted:What other weird experimental stuff does Xillia 2 do? The non voiced "you as the main character" is already super weird for Tales and I'm wondering if anything else in here is a one off never again kind of thing that's weird for the series overall. It has multiple endings for one. Just think of Ludger as a masterful mime.

I'm sending Rollo out to find some chipped claws or whatever but he keeps coming back empty handed. It's like the 5th time and all it seems to do is take up space on my current jobs. You basically only get attachments from Kitty Dispatch stuff. The cats do get better as you get more cats.

The only dungeon puzzle I regularly look up the answer to is the Wind Temple Dungeon in Symphonia. But also gently caress that electric ring puzzle in that base. but other than that, I don't mind puzzle dungeons

One of the good things to come from Zestria is that the OST owns. Which will probably make me more than happy to play through the game at least once to enjoy it regardless of story weirdness.

TheKingofSprings posted:Tales of Vesperia wasn't really like that, was it? I'm pretty sure the entire opening of Vesperia is pretty much that. Maybe not the whole endless devotion to Estellise? but if I recall correctly it kinda gets thrown in at the end because the last half of vesperia's plot is kinda a mess?

SyntheticPolygon posted:I've only just started playing Xillia but it's probably my favourite of the 3 Tales Games i've played so far. The only thing that really bothers me about is the huge change in cooking but the (admittedly bland) world map substitute areas don't bother me too much yet, though perhaps they will once my excitement from having a fast-travel system wears off. I've found most Normal difficulty Tales games are all pretty samey in the difficulty department, except for the crazy difficulty spike boss almost all of them have at some point.

Yeah I just assumed her being a nurse was basically her attempt to reach towards Jude. So, it in a way makes sense that when that plotline gets resolved towards the end of Xillia 1, that she would change to something else. It's just kinda odd because of the way it just happens offscreen.

Milla is cool because she's pretty chill and level headed about everything but is also a big ol doofus. this is also basically why Gaius is the best character in Xillia 2.Endorph posted:i got through xillia 2 fine only really playing as gaius and milla Yeah, Ludger is loving ridiculous in a game where move diversity is pretty much how you murder bosses and the main combat mechanic, but it's not like they literally just took away all the moves X1 characters had. If anything, everybody in Xillia 2 got buffs to their movesets to make them even better.

I really actually enjoy the AC system because it's a more straight forward version of Grace's system. All it really needs is to change to Dodge over to Graces and it would be perfect.

While we're on Synopsis pages that we'll never read, Tales of Legendia's synopsises are written from different character point of views so that's a neat thing in a not great game.
