Killing the big Zeugles gets you permanent +10CP per kill so I've gone from "I don't really care" to "welp guess I'll kill em all"

Kisara's burst is weirdly finicky. In the charger boss there was multiple times I'd use it and it would just flat out whiff and for a burst thats mostly good on reaction that kinds of dire

I can land it 90% of the time now.

Just got the kid from Demon Slayer on my team and killed the associated lord. Game is pretty good so far. I like how they sidestep the whole "jrpg protagonists massacring wildlife thing" by saying "actually they're not animals they're zoogles".

Overall the game's been solid so far. Fun combat and a well done setup. The plot and characters aren't spectacular but they're good. It's a bit disappointing compared to Beseria but still on the upper end of JRPG stories, Just at the midpoint of the fourth area and it feels like a writing fumble when Law berates Rinwell for trying to take attack Almedria? The phrasing makes it sound like she's going to attack a defenseless woman (what Almedria was posing as before) rather than a woman who's just finished massacring a bunch of people and is gearing up to kill the party as well.

Do characters get multiple Mystic Artes a la Team Destiny or is it just the single one a la Team Symphonia? I'm assuming the latter because of Burst Strikes.

MonsterEnvy posted:You normally have to wait until they actually start charging. I can land it 90% of the time now. The issue I was having was casting it while moving and they were charging and you can't cast it too late. She jumps out in front of you (you can get hit and have her stop the attack which feels... bad) so if you delay too long + doge roll the enemies tracking and hitbox can wiggle past her wall. I just gave up trying to get lots of damage off on the boss in question and just did it safely from a further distance and it worked every time.

Its probably my favorite justification for monsters everywhere in an RPG Barudak fucked around with this message at 14:34 on Sep 12, 2021 |

I just finished the fifth Lord and I was wondering when this poo poo was about to go off the rails. Don’t like the second OP as much but I’m excited to find out what’s with Red Serial Experiment Lain. Apparent she was in other areas? But I never noticed her.

Berseria's battle system really soured my feelings to be lower on it than others here, I absolutely hated how extremely favored it was to type weakness and punished non-weakness. Not to mention the spirit orb system. It would be one of my most favorite games otherwise.

That’s basically how it goes even on hard. I never understood what exactly Berseria wanted me to do and it never mattered

Berseria being so simple in practice felt like an apology for the disaster that was Zesty's system, where you basically never got stronger unless you engaged with the grinding slogfest that was the equipment system. I liked Berseria's combat for what it was, but I don't really want to see that approach again.

Story wants me to get medicine from a guard house (right after Lord 1) and uh, there's nothing in here, no progress marker and I've killed everything in the area numerous times over. I feel very stupid right now

Mr. Fortitude posted:I'm curious how many of you have played a Tales game that isn't Berseria. The only other one I've played was Dawn of the New World and was getting into the original before my Wii shat the bed; I genuinely liked the story in Dawn once Emil gets some character development, and so far I'm really into the plot of this game with two hours logged. I don't really mind things being "cliched" but I guess I don't see "cliche" as an automatic negative.

if they're going to make every boss a massive hp sponge and resource battle the least they could've done is made it so your stupid ai party members don't run into melee range of the enemy with the big melee aoes when they're casters the more i play this game the more frustrated i get because it feels like they did zero playtesting.

I made it all the way to the soylent green lake before realizing the herbs you pick up weren't temporary stats boosts but permanent because I have been keeping them for tough fights. fml

a few early tales games let you use some potion on the stat raising herbs to turn them into red versions that give a bigger boost, and to this day every time i play a new tales game i end up waiting to make sure i can't upgrade the herbs before i start using them.

I never use them because I know I wouldn't notice the difference anyway. I'll probably use them all on Kisara once she joins my party.

I tend to use the herbs early, cause they're much more noticeable at the start of the game. Just shoved every one I found into Alphen and Shionne.

It's me, I'm the guy encouraging bad game dev practices: I dropped $1.99 on a 100k gald pack. Area 3 spoilers: ran into the dragon outside Viscint and wasted all my remaining items trying to beat it, only to have to retreat and figure eh they must expect me to kill it later. Then I immediately bumped into a guy in town asking me to kill it for him, so I figured gently caress it I'll spend $2 to fully restock items with gald to spare and get my revenge. Actually managed to beat the dragon at level 19, albeit burning all my new life bottles because the AI party members just love to stand right in the way of the sweeping fire breath and get one shot. ![]()
