I accidentally posted that plane story here instead of a different thread. In that other thread I was told not to be "the fun police" by a couple of goons when I said it was really creepy and invasive  Anyway how about those video games guys

Yeah the sidequests were definitely an issue with Vesperia 360. I'd have to imagine that the new version gives Patty and Flynn their own sidequests to worry about too.

sidequests are just something that sucked in tales in general until graces f unfortunately tales of the abyss has a lot of sidequests that lend additional context to how the cast has grown since act 2, like jade being forced to acknowledge that his own reluctance to explain things to people has consistently led to bad things happening that he could have prevented, just being relegated to like. a sidequest split into two scenes hours apart that you could miss entirely. or the nebilim sidequest that is required in order to understand what the ending of the game is being ambiguous about The Colonel fucked around with this message at 01:37 on Jul 12, 2018 |

My Vesperia game was weirdly bugged and I couldn't do the skywhale race minigame to get (I think) a costume or accessory for Judy. He just wouldn't fly in the direction I pointed the control stick!

My problem with the Xenoblade 2 combat system is that I felt like I had "solved" it about 3/5s of the way through the game and after that nearly every fight felt more or less identical.

i hope there are many more cool costumes in the remaster. yuri's True Knight was great but you get it at the very end of the game and everything else is very mundane. i'm probably like the one person who plays tales games who doesn't like to use the funny costumes, i just want something with lots of open coats and capes and sashes and poo poo with wind physics

Done with RE1 for a while at least. I have no idea how I'd cut out over an hour for the infinite rocket launcher. Maybe with Jill. I'll play through Watch________________Dogs 2 for a while and then go to RE2.

Is the post-game content of any Tales good? Hearts R had a neat looking dungeon and dark weapons that power up as you kill things but I've moved on to other anime games.

If cutscenes count towards time that'll get rid of a bunch of time plus I saved everyone which added time. Also nice kills

Looper posted:only giving you half the noble and swimsuit costumes sucks but then i remembered i hate half the cast anyway and then it was fine symphonia has so much stupid bullshit with the costumes lol. it was a pretty stark difference going from that "here's a costume sidequest but only for the three characters who have the highest affinity with you or the three you pick in this arbitrary decision" bullshit to tales of the abyss just being like "here are three sidequests that give you a funny scene with every character and gives them all a new costume"

That's a lot harder with Chris obviously.

honestly the best part of tales of graces is when you take a space ship to mars and meet a space scientist lady who pretends to be your friend and then turns evil and dies less than an hour later and nobody ever mentions her again until you reach the ps3-exclusive future arc that for some reason has way higher production values and then she appears in one flashback scene and everyone says "hey it's her" that and the part where you get eaten by a giant rock beast and everyone just says "well. i guess we only have one direction to go from here"

also the part where you get a flute that lets you summon the rock beast, and you can either go back inside its dungeon or challenge it to a fight and if you challenge it to a fight this happens

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fU1R5O4VXE Live In Plenty is actually a very good track by Motoi Sakuraba It appears in Star Ocean: The Second Story. Which is a bad game but a flawed masterpiece in an idiot savant kind of way. So Live In Plenty, only at one point in this game: on the world map while you're riding on a ship between continents. However, this sequence is fully scripted every time it runs, and you can't pilot the ship freely yourself. This track's runtime is about 1:36 to the loop, but the actual transit time is never more than like half a minute, so you can only ever hear the first thirty seconds of this song in the game itself. this has been another exciting chapter of "tri ace what the gently caress"

I've never played a Tales game beyond Vesperia as a consequence of the series jumping from platform to platform. Actually I've only really played Phantasia, Symphonia, and Vesperia now that I think about it. I gave Eternia a try once and got a few hours in, but the Sylph boss kept kicking my rear end so I gave up.

I've finished Symphonia like five times and Abyss twice and gotten most of the way through Vesperia and played most of the others a bit. ToS was such a great game.

Ooh yeah I played it through like five or six times as well. I grinded Genus to ridiculous levels to get his weapon from the solo battle arena. The last time I played the file he was at 250 thereabouts and at some point I accidentally overwrote the slot. Never touched the game since.
