Endorph posted:I seriously don't get why I don't enjoy playing as Karol, considering Presea was my go-to in ToS. It might have something to do with his arte selection, which is admittedly a little wonky compared to his archetype's standard. Otherwise he controls much the same as Presea, so I couldn't tell you why that's the case.

And it sails right over Karol's head too, because he's so dumbstruck that someone's actually listening to his plan. EDIT: Actually, FighterKnuckles, that video starts on a part we haven't seen yet.

Note that Zagi was with that group, and we've already seen exactly how single-minded he is. I doubt he'd have much of an issue manhunting Yuri across the continent if it came to it, orders or not.

You forgot the Item Encyclopedia and a rather... special... conversation upstairs in Rita's house, that, as far as I know, you can only get before going to the Shaikos Ruins.

Ah, so that's what they're saying for the Don battle. I've always wondered about that. Cannot wait for the patch to be finished. I'm saving up money to import the PS3 version from Play-Asia. In other news, I finished my Unknown run on the 360 version a couple weeks ago, and it annoys me how much they cut from it for reasons unknown.

I dunno, from what little I can understand of Graces, it seems like a bit of a regression, character-wise. Not that the characters are the big draw for me regarding that game, though.

BlitzBlast posted:Oho, you got Combination. IIRC, it boosts the power of the next attack immediately after the final hit of the stated command. Combination 1 only multiplies damage by 2.5, but Combination 2 multiplies by 4, and Combination 3 by 10. They're pretty nifty, but due to the fact they only boost the next hit (Someone confirm?) they're not that useful. No, I'm pretty sure they boost the attack at the end of the chain. So with that in mind, Combination 3 is pretty drat powerful since it ends in a Mystic Arte, but tricky to pull off if you're not used to Arte chaining.

The trophy number is also "51", as though you really needed to be told. What's odd, though, is that there are only 50 achievements in the 360 version, according to GameFAQs. I'm gonna boot up my 360 and take a look. EDIT: Yeah, it's only 50. Did the PS3 version add a few? Materant fucked around with this message at 01:06 on Sep 29, 2011 |

Brunom1 posted:I found a guide that shows every single side quest on the game and points you to it as soon as it's available: I know the guides exist. I've even followed them on more than one occasion. It still bugs the crap out of me how the more recent Tales games require you to do baffling things (such as literally defying what the story says you're supposed to be doing) at the strangest and most strict times for your sidequests. I know the game inside and out by now, and I still routinely miss a third of the sidequests each run because I can never remember to do inane thing x at y place and z time without having a memo pasted on my forehead.

Looking at your screenshot of the map prior to obtaining the Little Wolf's fur, no, you can't see his territory before you get a hold of his fur.

I'd check myself, but (I'm pretty sure) the fur is one of the items that carries over in New Game+, so...

Senerio posted:More reinforcement that Flynn is the Generic Tales Hero of the game: Demon Fang, Sword Rain, Sonic Thrust (maybe? It's been a long time), Tiger Blade, I believe Tempest? I think his moveset was designed in such a way to reinforce the fact that if this were any other Tales game, he'd be the lead, and not Yuri. I think we can all be pleased we got Yuri.

There were probably under-the-table deals, smuggling, etc. without most of the lower-ranked people knowing. The best way to run a con is to make it appear legitimate, after all.

Zebrin posted:My big problem is that in a game where people are pretty drat smart, you have a backwards name thing go on. How does no one notice this poo poo... I saw it the first time through before the reveal and seriously thought that Yuri or Rita were gonna call him out on it, or at least have Judith make some sideways comment about it... It gave me a bit of a headache, and really irritated me. It should be no surprise that I consider this part of the games writing to be the worst of it. Which is to say, slightly above average rather then really good. Oh well. Always helps to remember that the characters can't see the words spoken like we can, they can only hear them. And if you're only hearing the name, you more than likely won't make the connection.

You know, is there any particular reason they didn't just smash the Schwann Brigade aside instead of making Raven do... whatever he just did? It's not like they'd even really qualify as a speed bump at this point. F. EDIT: Oh, right, the soldiers hot on their heels. Right.

Wild Knight posted:Basically, what we can all agree on is that the lecherous sharpshooter and the little kid with a giant freaking hammer are better healers than the actual dedicated healer, am I right? Well, we can agree on the fact that Estelle's AI particularly is crap. But if you're relying on the AI to know when you need a heal most, that's a bad situation. Otherwise, Estelle has the most powerful heals of the game, but they're interruptable. She's also the only character with a ressurection arte, which is naturally quite worth keeping her in the party, at least during your first playthrough. On your second, you'll have the inventory space and the Gald to effectively never run out of Life Bottles, so you can afford to be quite more lenient on that front. (I can't remember, has this arte come up yet, Curtiss?) Just... make sure to bind her healing spells (Resurrection in particular) to shortcut keys and you should be just fine.
