Technically he doesn't actually smoke it, but he's still awesome and one of my favorite party members. Also this is a good game and worth having an Xbox for. Not getting the PS3 version localized really is a shame.

Polsy posted:Well, it's more strange that Estelle gives that answer, he's not really asking about Kaufman as much as he is about guilds. I also found it odd that Yuri seems to have so many questions about the world which seem like common knowledge. Though really he just sounded like he never had much interaction with them rather than not knowing what they are. As for why Estelle knows, I'm pretty sure most of her time in the castle was spent reading books. She can recite textbook definitions of things or stories but has no real firsthand knowledge. As for trying to go to the forest first, I'm pretty sure there's just a short scene about how your destination is Deidon Hold and there's no reason to be there right now and they make you turn around. That's basically what happens anytime you try to go somewhere else before you're supposed to. Adus fucked around with this message at 01:26 on Jun 16, 2011 |

Attachments are for vanity items which can be created via synthesis. For example, a pair of glasses for Estelle. They'll show up on the characters everywhere during the game (apart from the anime cutscenes, naturally). Naturally I get beaten by a minute.

Admiral H. Curtiss posted:Ah yes, that quest. Basically, what you want to do is: There are a couple of scenes you have to trigger. I think about halfway through you talk to a cat in Danghrest, then at 75%-ish, you go to Aurnion (so late game) and the other dog should appear somewhere in the left area. Finally at 90ish percent, you go back to Zaphias to the first save point near Yuri's place. This could be a bit off but I know these things happen at certain intervals.

I dunno how I feel about it because part of me still hopes to play it sometime and I'd rather not just see all the new content for the first time in screenshots. But I dunno. I guess ultimately it's not something I'll lose sleep over.

nogic posted:Nice work so far OP! I'm a huge fan of this game, so I'm eager to see the PS3 content that I'll probably never get to play I always felt this way too. For how much the dragon rider pisses her off, "Dragon Freak" is a very weak insult. I guess she's still a kid, though, despite how hard she tries to act mature. So far Patty seems like a very awkward addition to the party, and I'm not too into her. Never terribly fond of kid characters in general. Karol surprised me by ending up to be a pretty well-developed character though, so maybe she will too. Unfortunately she can't exactly impact the story by being a late addition, so I'm not sure how she'll accomplish anything of note.

Nondevor posted:Fatal Strikes seem like a fun mechanic to use. Though it seems like Admiral Curtiss had a little trouble activating it in the dungeon video. They're difficult to pull off in normal battles because typically the enemies die before you get the symbol. It's really something you use more on bosses.

Some Numbers posted:The issue there is that if you play on Easy, you don't get any Grade at all. Yes but no one should play on Easy. The game is already simple enough on Normal. Psion posted:I probably will, actually - if I want to 1000 this game, I have to do a playthrough in under 15 hours and then another playthrough where I get to a future boss under level 15, so I could just use 2x grade on my 15 hour speed run. Do the low level playthrough and speed playthrough at the same time. Want to know the trick? Grade farm so you can take as many bonuses as possible. Then take the Battle Techniques experience modifier. You can then plow through all fights up until Barbos with ease because of your equipment and skills, but as long as you finish the fights with low combos you'll get really low experience, saving you from leveling up but keeping the game moving at a quick pace. After Barbos (which is the only point you have to beat under level 15 to get the achievement), you're not far from the Weasand Of Cados which is where the first Giganto is. Fight it and use this strategy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-w_M4XvSKhk The bonus exp from all the hits will jump you up from like level 9 to 70 something, and you'll be set for the rest of the game.

Shining Fang may be Yuri's best arte if you're concerned about combo generation, considering it hits like 5 times and can be spammed during overlimit due to it being a base arte.

I suppose I should have been more clear, that it's a spammable arte that isn't expensive as poo poo, like most arcane artes.

Yeah, Yuri sees Ragou's death as a punishment, not as some attempt to change things. The guy was responsible for horrible stuff and his official reprimand was a mere demotion. It's vigilantism, and the fact that Yuri could be considered just as wrong as Ragou is part of why I like this aspect of his character. All good characters have flaws and we haven't seen many from Yuri yet. I'm sure he's not naive enough to think that it'll make everything better, but I'm sure he genuinely believes the world is better off without Ragou.

I agree. Honestly her exclusion almost makes the 360 version seem better. Maybe that sounds extreme but one of the great things about Vesperia is how all the characters are pretty likable and important in their own way and Patty isn't really either of those things.

The more I see of Patty the more I think the 360 version is the way to play the game. There are definitely some cool additions to the PS3 version, but I don't think they make up for the annoying extra character shoehorned in.

I always kinda felt the reactions to finding out Yuri's dark murderin' were a bit subdued, but ultimately I'm glad they deal with it the way they do. Very few JRPG protagonists would do this sort of thing and whether or not you agree with Yuri, the fact that he follows this path makes him a much more interesting character than most.

No, only the PS3 version was localized. I didn't know it was out already. I haven't heard much about it, but what I have seemed pretty lukewarm. I'm kind of itching for a new Tales game though. I have Abyss to play still, but I don't have a PS2 anymore so I'm not sure if I'm really willing to buy an entire new PS2 just for it.

Rita posted:If they're looking for apatheia, maybe they want the dragon she was riding. If he's an Entelexeia, he might become an apatheia like Belius. I wanted to point out that I like this line of dialogue because it's rare for RPG characters to put two and two together that quickly, or ever. Like in almost any other game they'd have to be told Judith's dragon was an Entelexeia and after that they would act like it was shocking news. Here, Rita just sort of figures it out and makes a reasonable conclusion to why these guys would want to go after Judith. Not confirming that this is right or wrong. Even if it's wrong it's at least a smart guess.

It's a shame too, because all the other changes sound pretty cool. Too bad you can't like, disable Patty or something. Well at least it makes me feel like I didn't miss much playing on 360. I just ordered Graces F. It's odd how we don't get the PS3 version of Vesperia, but the PS3 version of Graces is the only one we get. I really know nothing about it so let's hope the battle system is still fun at least.

Yeah my problem isn't so much the hypocrisy but rather the fact that it's never really addressed. There could be a pretty interesting scene where someone calls Yuri out. Yuri, being who he is, would more than likely admit to the flaws in his argument, but he'd probably also defend it by pointing out the differences between Estelle and Cumore/Ragou's actions. Yuri hates it when innocent people are hurt by the evil and corrupt. Estelle is hurting people through ignorance. Actually putting it that way doesn't make it sound a whole lot better... It's an interesting dilemma.

Yeah the fact that he literally comes back like 5 minutes later definitely ruins whatever emotional impact his sacrifice scene had. I wasn't too pleased with how the whole thing was handled when I first played it, despite the fact that I liked Raven and didn't want him to be dead.
