I dont want story spoon fed to me like im a huge dumb baby; I want these characters to be diverse and interesting and have personalities other than the basic personality traits the game lets them have. Out of curiosity what game do you play which has the demands you are asking for? Because even the most in depth RPGs on the planet don't have the cast freaking the gently caress out over every new insane legendary thing

VanillaGorilla posted:Just finished the 5th lord and goddamn that was a death march - just masses of hard encounters eating your resources and like 3 boss fights in a row. Felt like it was the end boss run in any other JRPGz except this one is gunna keep going apparently and somehow I feel like I have even less of an idea of what’s going on in this story than before. this is where is dropped it to easy mode because i dont feel like having to grind for money to keep restocking items. i might bump it back up to normal if it gets easier to make cash later on.

I think dragons should always be a big deal, no matter the game. Like, even in the hit kids movie "How to Train Your Dragon" you still have people screaming about dragons from time to time. Make a jrpg how to train your dragon

The Dragon is just another powerful monster like the other big ones they have fought. It's not particularly special.

Naturally the fans hated it because you can't solve every fight with "turn into a dragon" Well, you can. But only for so long and solve too many problems that way and it's game over. I really liked Dragon Quarter's resource economy. Dragon was an "I Win" button for pretty much any encounter but you had to literally pick your battles. The restarting mechanic was pretty cool too. drat I think I want to play it again.

Barudak posted:You need better rods and some lures that Im not sure you can finish the first three lakes by themselves Yeah, once fishing unlocked the quest to save the world was promptly put aside so I could start chasing fish log completion. You can definitely get the second rod at the point it unlocks at least, but there'll be a few things that I don't think you can feasibly jump back to get in the first few fishing spots until you progress far enough through the story to get other lures at least.

does anyone have any tips for playing as rinwell? never used a magic person in a tales game before. I'm circa chapter 3. Any particularly good artes/combos i should look out for, any particular unlocks i should beeline, should i always be doubling up/combining or should I chain cast, etc?

On the note of fishing, I don't know when the lures become buyable but they are certainly buyable after it unlocks with the inns in each city carrying a different lure. Edit: Fishing is also a pretty good source of cash, if you can stand it

FZeroRacer posted:not OP but the first Xenoblade did a really good job of establishing the weird world and how the characters react to things as they explore. There's actually a lot of conflicting details and general lack of details that make that world one of the weaker RPG worlds. The mentor party member is on record for both calling a race a myth upon joining the party, and being passive aggressive at them for not helping the war later. Any detail not relevant to the plot is also just not addressed at all, Colony 9 and 6 exist, but the other 7 numbers you can assume existed at one point are never mentioned at all, among other details that make the world feel as if it just popped into existence for the plot.

I just made it to the third city and I'm starting to wonder if I'm missing something about the leveling system. I've been grinding like crazy because I feel like I'm very under leveled here, but each fight just seems to give an absolutely negligible amount of experience, even with a high bonus chain. Is there something else I'm supposed to be doing to gain levels?

Is there something else I'm supposed to be doing to gain levels? Not really. Leveling is kind of slow in the game as titles and equipment provide a lot of your stat bonuses. In the third city and after the third city finishes a bevvy of sidequests will open up and you'll get a lot of titles and SP, so the game opens a little as well to mop up stuff you may have had to leave behind. Bergeron gives quest; defeat a level 21 zeugle. Oh wow, you beat it, have another quest to beat... a level 14 zeugel. Bergeron, you ok?

MythosDragon posted:There's actually a lot of conflicting details and general lack of details that make that world one of the weaker RPG worlds. arise suffers from that a bit because even with the whole skits stuff they focus so much on the interparty dynamics that they almost entirely miss the world. i don't get a sense of the characters having lived there at all because you're going from one wild dynamic to the next with a shrug. none of the areas are given a chance to breathe so it ends up feeling like a Elemental Funhouse in comparison to the vast and diverse areas in Xenoblade.

Xenoblade's world was a nonsense funhouse and the narrative tanks in quality around the second big dungeon due to pretty much all the world building getting trashbinned for new world building that isn't as interesting. It also doesn't touch on things like apparently they have piles of anti-mechon weapons among a myriad of other things. Tales of Arise so far has been pretty blunt; Dahna has been terraformed by the colonizers and this is messed up, but its also been 300 years so it is also normal Edit: Is this just an error on Xbox where the skit names don't pop up next to the skit indicator?
