Hearts R's translation changed the bar showing how long till you can use another item in game from "ITEM" in the Jap version to "Using Item".

What? No. Not even a little. I really don't see where you're getting that from. The world is still going to be a series of big empty interconnected rooms that are a chore to traverse, the combat still isn't going to be as fluid and satisfying as Vesperia's, most of the costumes are gonna be DLC again and so on and so forth. Tales Studio do not learn from mistakes; they take whatever was wrong with the last game and either ignore it completely or make it worse. When they do right, they change everything.

>>342482572
I dunno, man. Vibrant colors, atypical protagonist, more sea travel than usual. I didn't say it looked as good or anything, it just gives me a Vesperia vibe.
And hey, maybe the combat will turn out alright now that they're turning it into a regular action game.

Because "damage" is effectively a mass noun expressing a total sum. You could say "1 point of damage, 2 points of damage" but not 1 damage, 2 damages. A more sensible way to express it would be to display it like "Total Damage: [number]".

Either that or he's the traitor. Or it's Magilou.

He's an advisor to Artorious, the most senior member of the Abbey, and is the main one keeping the whole operation running. He has a connection to someone traveling along with Velvet.

It is definitely more shallow than other jrpgs, more mass produced and a lot more tropey, but they are usually somehow fun. It's like a light hearted more brainless game for jrpg fans who don't want to play nothing but serious grimdark shit forever.


The stories suck but the combat is fun usually, and the casts are usually well characterized to the point where its fun to watch them endlessly banter

Fujishima's design are always the most well-rounded (except for some like Sorey). His designs are neither too simple or to overcomplicated. He actually knows how to balance colors and not make his characters look like they're straight out of a clown party (I'm looking at you Inomata).

Maybe because it's different from most of his other tracks.
The Dark Souls stuff is obviously really good too.

Tempest doesn't exist, Anon.

>>342490181
No, its got its fair share of issues and Mieu chimes in WAY more then necessary. the combat is also not as fluid. I own both, but I still vastly prefer the original, same with Symphonia HD, I've played it once, where I've played and replayed GC symph like 25+ times

Thinking about buying tales of grace f and tales of xillia.

Which one should i start playing? I know nothing about the games by the way.
>>
>>342490269
I've been into all the recent games but I cannot for the life of me finish Zestiria.
I loved Xillia and beat both games multiple times.

Zestiria is just awful though.
>>
>>342490361
Graces f, Xillia is pretty mediocre.
>>
>>342490335
That's what I mean. Color wise it's like a visual panic attack.
>>
>>342490361
If you want a complete game, Graces F.

If you want half a game, Xillia 1. Don't bother playing Xillia 1 if you don't follow it up with Xillia 2 (which is better in literally every aspect)
>>
>Constantly think I have too mjany JRPGs for PS3

Uhh. Hm...
>>
>>342490447
>Don't bother playing Xillia 1 if you don't follow it up with Xillia 2 (which is better in literally every aspect)

Yet Xillia 2 reuses quite a lot of areas and enemy designs, so you'll be bored out of your mind when you play it unless you have a tolerance for that kind of bullshit.
>>
>>342490447
Might as well skip Xillia 1 since you see everything that game has in 2 and more.
>>
>>342490552
>>342490570
Then lemme fix what I said.

Watch Xillia 1's plot online or something, then jump into Xillia 2.

why has the "Xillia 2 is good" meme not died out yet?

both are quite shit

> tfw I have all the atelier PS3 games on my HDD

Too many games/sequels is intimidating. I'd have played at leat one atelier already if I didn't know there were 5 other games, 2 of which are sequels of a trilogy and then there's another trilogy if i remember correctly. Then there's ni no kuni, resonance of fate and eternal sonata

I don't know what to do
>>
>>342490678
Xillia 2 is at least better than the first, but it's still not good.

It'll be the same in the same way that new Cloud is the "same" as old Cloud.

Basically not the same at all but since he had this one little trait that is what people assume is his entire personality.

In Clouds case it was he went emo for a little bit of the game. In Yuris case, it is that he killed a few people.

Are you seriously asking me this? Its like the question was made for me.

>How many times have you beaten symphonia
46.
39 of those belong to the gamecube version since 2004, Multiple 100% runs, at least 10 mania runs, most normal just because I enjoy it so much and its my go-to game when I'm bored. I've played it more then anything else, Phantasia being closest at 21 plays between 4 versions.
>Main party member you play
Usually Lloyd just because, not only is he my favorite, but its my favorite fighting style. I've played a run maining every character before though, Presea and raine are my other defaults.
>Favourite song in the game
FUCK. um, Fighting of the Spirit or Fatalize for battle Tower of salvation for atmosphere, Mithos' theme and it can waver and fight just because.
>Did you pick Kratos or Zelos
Both, but normally Kratos
>Hardest difficulty you've beaten Abyssion in
Mania. at least 6 times for GC, twice for HD collection. and almost all the time on normal runs just because hes a fun fight.
>Boss fight that made you rage at some point
In my VERY first run way back when Iapyx right into sheena, I spent weeks trying to beat them, and then after grinding some, Genis learned stalagmite.

Symphonia was my go-to game and still is, I've played it so many times that I find every siongle tedious part enjoyable.

HOL UP

Are these alt costumes, and beach wear actually in game, or DLC? Because while I was considering getting this, I cannot stand how fucking retarded the main character looks, and would change it to anything else to make the game better.

>>342485046
MUUUUUUUUHHHHH
This on disc? Shit I might even import.
>>
>>342492248
At the time, it wasn't a "God awful" battle system, it's literally the LMABS from previous tales games with a fixed Axis. I personally prefer it to the radial systems we got later on. Symphonia is like a 3 times a year deal for me.

Why is Zestiria so boring?

There's just something about it that doesn't really compel me to play it.

Is it the generic plot? Is it the lack of world-building? I just can't put my finger on it but I don't really have motivation to see it through to the end.

>>342494824
Story is fanfiction tier and the pet raising is really unnecessary. Emil is one of the most unique protagonists in the entire Tales series though I have to admit.

The ToS characters all come and leave as they please and don't stay permenantly until the end of the game. They also don't level up, they just join you at a level and stay that level until the story levels them up, which on harder modes and endgame makes them far less useful. You can only set the two new characters as your player character (You can still play as the old characters by switching during battle, but doing it everytime is a pain). You can capture monsters to have as party members and level them up, which is better than using the old characters, but you can't control them. There's no world map.

I bought the Symphonia HD collection collectors edition which came with all the figures.

I happily displayed Lloyd and Colette, Emil.. Eh. he's in the back doing his own thing, same as tenebrae.

I contemplated burning marta in the grill outside, but that wasn't really ethical, i didn't ant plastic residue on my grill. So I went to check if I had any powertools that could do the job. I COULD have sawed off her head, but that seemed a waste too. I thought about digging a hole in the backyard and just burrying her where she belonged, in the dirt. But then I got worried it might grow a marta tree, and last thing I wanted was more of them.

So in the end, I decided to keep her, she's in the display, but she will remain tipped over on her face as a testament to how shit of a character she was, and everything wrong with modern tales of, She will remain a sign for all to see, and wonder. "Why is Marta tipped over anon?"

"Because"

As an old day tales fan this hurts.

I feel like Tales of is arrtacting the vita Pantsu- crowd instead of the Sci-fi fantasy crowd like it used to. Destiny and Eternia were amazing back in he day, JRPGS in general were so heavy with sci-fi themes and they integrated them well.

But these latest installments? They were mediocre as heck, and people like >>342496771 just eat it up, why? Its not for the story or the combat, do they only care about the waifus and the cosmetic outfits? For fucks sake go back to Idolmaster or whatever the shit it is.

>>342498828
My point is it attracts the wrong audience, its ttracting the people who don't care about the games, only the characters for no reason other then to make porn of them.

Its a trned in japan that HAS to stop. I'm so sick of over-sexualized designs now because all it leads to is threads like "X IS CUTE!" or "WHERES THE PORN OF X?"

It discourages game discussion, and tales threads always turn into waifu threads, and I hate it.

Why did they fuck up the in game designs so badly? Vesperia was great and they could have even gone further to a GGXrd level, everything after like Xillia and Zestiria go for this strange "realistic anime" where the only anime looking thing is the single color they use for the character skin, the characters themselves look like an attempt at using a shitty character creator to try and resemble the anime art.
It's even worse when you compare the characters with the background floor and walls and trees, they just don't go well together at all.

Phantasiafag here, they're called Airbirds/Aviators not rheiards. Rheiards aren't till Symphonia.
>>
>>342503436
Phantasia had rheards?

This is why I wont buy a "next gen" console or any new JRPGs
They look fucking ugly, whats so next gen about those fucking textures and materials, that floor terrain and the material just curving and theres no bump mapping at all, tall grass doesn't even match the color the grass beneath it and the trees look like they're from a PS1 game.
JRPGs are dead now, all we get is shitty yearly released Tales crap and Nep shit from compile heart.
RIP large scale attractive JRPGs.

I'm an anomaly in general. I've beaten DotnW 17 times. Its my favorite tales game besides Xillia 2

Aren't they called Rhea Birds in the japanese version or something? I played some fan translated version of PSX Phantasia and it was their name if I remember correctly. I thought they were named after Arche's ghost friend.

>>342503928
Ah well that's impressive. I've barely beat my favorite tales game 3 times.

It says a lot about the current status of Tales games. Can't wait for Tales of Corynebacteria and /v/ threads gushing over a Katz appearing.

It's bretty gud. Not the best Tales game in terms of gameplay but pretty enjoyable nonetheless.

>>342505549
It's better that they get their shit together now than continue on this stupid path,

No wonder chef no buy.
>>
>>342505087
It's guaranteed.
All the recent games have had idol costumes and Bersy is releasing just a few weeks after the next big Imas game.
Bamco loves to cross promote.

There's usually an end game event in the Imas games named after the latest Tales of too just to even things out a bit.

Symphonia is the middleground, it is the best place to start in this day and age, because you'll only go up from there.

Symphonia is a mix, it will determine whether or not you enjoy the linear system, or radial system more. Its inoffensive, fun, and a great way to start the series. Once you've beat it, ot at least given it a try, go on to other games like abyss, graces, and xillia.

If you prefer the linear system, you can go back and enjoy games like Phantasia, Eternia, Destiny DC and Hearts

Do not under any circumstances start with vesperia. It is undoubtedly the ebst in all aspects, but once you've had a taste of Vesperia, you will never be satisfied with any other tales of because it doesn't amount to it. Save vesperia for last.

my first tales was vesperia and i still found symphonia to be okay, even if the combat was a bit boring.

We knew this was a Zestiria expansion pack from the day it was revealed. Wait for the next Tales which will be developed natively for the PS4.
