Coming back to Berseria myself after a few months away, trying to remember game mechanics after a break is always the worst. I guess i was also playing on Intense because i am waaaaay underleveled, like 5-10 for the regular enemies and then the Code Red/Melchior are like 10-20 higher. Is that the game telling me to level up more or is that just Tales difficulty being Tales difficulty? Because i honestly can't remember if i would just lower the difficulty for the bosses or what because just fighting them seems to be a bit bad.

Oh is that how it actually works? That's kinda dumb. Berseria is the best tales game but it's still a tales game in that regard

Going back through Berseria with double xp and keeping all the skill masteries and what not is a fun expierence. I don't know if it's knowing how to actually play the game better than i did before or maybe the extra levels and skills making a difference but wow am i wrecking every enemies poo poo. Even the dire enemies I've killed a few times now on insane when I ran the hell away all the time on normal

Or you could just go with the nu tales game tradition of "try until you get frustrated and lower the difficulty to simple then change back after" This saved me so much time against the stupid pettrification snake boss in Zesteria

The beginning of Zesteria is all big open fields and such anyway from what i remember. I think your tone will change when you get into a battle in any narrow rear end hallway.

I hope the next Tales game does something about Boss Mystic Arts, not that bosses shoulden't have super powerful attacks but from Xilla and onwards it just kinda feels like they can do them whenever and there isn't much you can do to stop it/reduce the damage so much.

Pureauthor posted:I wish they did more with Fractured Milla It is what is-Elle, destroyer of worlds I also found one of the endings hilarious because I think it's Ludgers ending where Ludger is in charge of spirius and he meets prime dimension Elle's mom and starts crying. Implying that he is happy he can now gently caress this woman to give birth to the daughter he just lost and start all over again I mean okay, that's probably not why that happens but i remember just laughing my rear end off at the implications of it when i saw it in the moment The Shame Boy fucked around with this message at 22:43 on Nov 14, 2020 |

According to my brother that still plays Crestoria there has still not even been any changes to the optimization or to the parts of the gameplay that needed attention (one of the debuffs straight up didn't work at launch and still doesn't so i think it's your main bad guy character Viscious that is bad to use because of it?) I would totally play this game if it were an actual full released game though. But i guess a gatcha is easier/cheaper to make than even something like the old escort series games used to be like.

the meme dream Rokuro combo is to do all 10 forms in one combo which i suppose you could if you started off with a counter and ended a second enemy hitting you as you get to 10?

Amppelix posted:yeah like Xillia is the last game with a traditional actually powerful healer who can pretty much full heal the party with one spell in the endgame. all the aoe heals are really tiny now and i doubt they'd go back to how it was. I'm just glad it looks like healing spells are going back to being worth a drat, they were absolutly useless in Berseria the farther up in difficulty you went it was just annoying and bad.

Endorph posted:there's been mentions of 'support' party members in addition to the main ones. you could take that as just people whose assists you can call in without them being fully playable, like that part of Xillia 1 where Jude can summon Muzet, or you could take that as more Eternia-style temporary party members. Probably the former, but latter could be cool. The tales team probalby talk with the Tekken guys about frame data from time to time already why not just throw in assist attacks like a Marvel v Capcom or Dragonball Fighters! Would be kinda awesome actually.

Is there a certain usage number you have to hit to be able to do the charge for the flame sword ability? I can only do it for the swallow dance move right now and the other arts dont work even though they have a blacked out secondary action.

Mr. Trampoline posted:Rinwell's English audio quality seems not great, unfortunately. So i'm not alone in thinking that first scene she shows up in where she's breathing heavily was EAR BLEEDLINGLY LOUD? I haven't really noticed it in other scenes with her voice acting nearly as much as that first one. Maybe they just made to sure to get high quality audio files of her saying blah blah blah and MAGICKAZAM! to satisfy the fanservice quota.

I know you've got 5 Lords to beat and not infinite time/money to develop the game but wow it seems like you just kinda wander into town and within 5 minutes work your way up to beating the local lord pretty fast! At least with the first guy there was a build up to it and the implication that Alphen spent his whole life being a slave before he randomly ran into the resistance one day. Does Shionne get a Nurse equivalent because 2nd Lord was very tough and needed lots of group healing! Can you actually stop his Indignation casts or are you suppose to just take them?

I hate how this stupid *3rd area spoilers* Dragon in the 3rd area is just easy enough when you first get to the area that you think maybe you can take it but it has so much health and defense that it's kind of a long stupid slog unless you come back to it later. Maybe when i'm level 30-ish or something instead of 20 I was thinking that the AI in this game is actually pretty smart at not being suicidal but i swear their quality has taken a nose dive ever since 4th member has joined.

Gamerofthegame posted:the secret gimmick is you need to have law burst directly infront to do the cutscene Do the secret cutscene instadowns only work the first time you do them? Because while they are cool it's a bit wierd that the boss can just keep doing the thing that is meant to be stopped in the cool way by a character but that character just can't do it again as far as i can tell. The 3rd Lord is especially bad at this since i only ever managed to stop the charge once in the beginning and then never again despite doing the same timing every time. Gumball Gumption posted:The boss fights are not hard, they're just wildly different from most regular enemies. The regular enemies you can beat like it's a pure action game. The bosses still play like an RPG where you need to match gear, pick the right moves, use buffs and debuffs, and all that other rpg poo poo. If that's the case, it's a shame that buffs and healing come out of the same resource pool that is incredibly expensive to refill(there is no need for CP restore gels to be 3k a pop other than to entice people to buy Gald through microtransations). I like the CP system as far as a replacement for TP and for the normal amounts of healing you would need to do in regular fights.But the fact that healing arts,buffs, AND environment interactions come out of the same resource pool is a bit strange to me.

Thinking about how people are having problems with the Lord boss fights, i wouldn't really say it's necessarily the amount of health they have that's the problem or the fact they have very distinct phases now. It's just that you can't go into every boss fight fully loaded up with healing gels of all kinds and life bottles maxed out and it really kinda shows how much you generally rely on those in Tales games. Instead you gotta go in with maybe 4-6 healing gels and 1 or 2 Life Bottles at best and you just gotta deal with it. Hope you don't have to heal or res too much since you'll pretty quickly run through your CP if you don't micromanage your party enough to avoid damage that the AI will gladly throw themselves into. I've noticed you don't really get to stagger the lords easily either so it's not really a case of them breaking out of your combo and then they kick your rear end, they will just kinda stand around for a bit doing nothing and THEN do an attack that will kick your rear end unless you dodge out of the way. Because they are still very capable of just launching into a combo that takes a character from full health to dead in a few seconds and there isn't anything you can do about it unless you can use a boost attack to make them stop.But if you can't make them stop and that character dies you only have 2 or 3 life bottles as opposed to the full 15 or maybe 10 you'd normally be carrying into a boss fight. All of that said though, i do greatly appreciate that mystic artes are much more obvious and telegraphed now and you can even dodge them on occasion! I always hated that in other games the boss will just be attacking normally or doing a combo and then suddenly you've taken 3k damage to the whole party because they just decided it was time to use one now and poor baby Laphicet just happen to wander too close by while trying to cast a spell.

Kagrenac posted:I've been able to catch every fish without the proper lure. As far as I can tell they just make it easier to attract that fish and probably help make the fish you want show up. What is the maximum amount of spell storage you can do? I think the big thing with Rinwell is realizing you can stock more than 1 at a time since i don't think the tutorial mentions how many can be saved up at a time.

The general gameplay feel is probably the best it's ever been in Tales with this game but i have to admit i miss how snappy the party switching and easier access to mystic artes in Berseria was. Switching out party members and letting them heal up fighting game style while i did switch combos with 2 or 3 of the other characters instead ending a boss with everybody pitching in their Mystic Art is just peak Tales gameplay.

JBP posted:I always play as Shionne for the ability to actually see what's going on. She also makes it super easy to hit weak spots non stop. enemies and bosses generally seem to target whoever you're playing as more often than going after the AI so there is the added benefit of making them run across the arena to try and hit you while your buddies beat him up. It's kinda how i even managed to beat 5th Lord since he was for some reason laser focused on me as Shionne 90% of the time and just hanging out in the air meant he just walked in circles underneath me while i hit him with bombs and poison.

I"m joining the "wow, that was a rude side quest game!" club. If you're in the post second OP part of the game, as a rule of thumb stay away from any quests where the NPCs say a light came down on an area recently. Those all seem to the motherfucker quests that throw level 60+ enemies at you that you can't run away from regularly. But i want to make a special Shout out to Farewell,Mage because it's the enemy level choices are baffling i'll put my experience with it spoiler tags for those that don't to see. I had already been that mountaintop area and figured it would open up way later and since way later has happend after Lord 5 i went there first in the huge amount of sidquests the game opens up at this point, about 85% of which you can actually do at level 37-40 which you are probably around at this point. So you go up the mountain and you run into the level 39 Berzerker fast guys. Not a huge problem. But then if you move up the path there is an NPC getting attacked by birds which you are forced into a with that are LEVEL 66! and you can't run away from them! Thankfully though if you just keep hitting them with arts and your various character boost attacks you can hit them with break combos and kill them fast that way, hopefully you can kill them before they kill you because you can take 2 shots from them before you die, even as Kisara most of the time too. Why even have seperate enemy groups that are so far aparet in level like that? Makes no sense! It's a bit of a shame because that tower has a pretty cool big dragon looking boss that does the spirit temple thing where you're running around the map in combat mode well before the thing even shows up while you just fight it's adds. I think the adds are suppose to be kind of a level/DPS check but the adds aren't really aggressive enough so the AI just kept using my life bottles and wasting my time while i coulden't run from this fight either
