I like Velvet's villager outfit. I wish I could stream this but Bamco is silly and my laptop is too junk to do it with a capture card. Oh well.

Gonna have to wait on getting this game for a little bit, but hopefully it ends up being good. The localization stuff has me a little worried though. Zesty didn't seem bad in that regard, but the menus clearly had issues in the editing department, and it sounds like that's spreading to other parts of the game this time.

More like any outfit that isn't the pirate one may as well not exist.

we got idolmaster outfits for xillia and zestiria iirc, plus the evangelion and god eater ones for zestiria, so I wouldn't be surprised if they bring them all over

It seems like it's basically the same as Zestiria from where I'm standing. Zestiria had some typos in the subs, awkward win quotes, hosed up tutorials, but perfectly fine main story/skits.

yeah, but it's also ten dollars for nine costumes, as opposed to three dollars per costume.

Normal Velvet sounds way too much like Nova so I was expecting her to start harassing the villagers for their loan payments

Is anyone else getting strange audio during some dialogue? I get an echo / reverb effect for the lines of dialogue that happens when you are running around town or during combat(artes are unaffected). All the other audio is fine.

If you're playing on PS4, it's because it's also coming out of your controller speaker. Threw me off the first few times too.

I keep missing the stuff I get from battles because one button confirms and the other buttons zooms through everything fast enough to just get you out of the results screen.

I tried the demo and the battle system was a complete sensory overload. I mean, just pressing buttons at random seems to do the trick fine but I had no idea what I was doing.

Been too long since I played a Tales game, I guess. :v:

Am I supposed to know what a malakhim is right away? Like is there some supplemental material (or Zestiria?) that introduced that, or should I just be a little confused by all of it at the beginning?

I know it's hebrew for angel so that was enough of a hint anyway.

This is my first tales game and the game itself is much better at telling you what's going on.

I don't know why the demo half assed it so much.

I think the demo was more interested in being a sample than an introduction, if that makes sense. It worked fine for me, a person who had been following the game for the entirety of 2016, but not really for someone who is just thrown into the mechanics.

I would have put in fewer artes in total and an arte set that was more in line with the early-mid game instead of a spread from beginning to end, especially since the early-ish artes they skipped drastically underrepresent Rokurou and Eizen IME. Possibly thrown in second Break Souls to better show how the system's headline feature plays on the whole.

There are second break souls? How do you break a soul in another way?

Didn't realize until about just now that this was coming to PC. First Tales game I've bothered to look at since Vesperia. What plot conceits I've seen from reviews etc look interesting so maybe this one will be good??

Am I gonna wanna do the usual thing and switch to JP voiceover even though I don't know a single word of japanese, or what
