The Celestial Record said 200 years. Because the most recent Shepherd was the person writing it, and he gave it up.

Couple questions.

1. When can I fight Ednas brother for real?

2. Where is the EX dungeon?

3. Is there anything else I should do before going to Camlann?

Sorey and Mikleo thought so because they're going by a book, which didn't count the most recent Shepherd, its author and Mikleo's uncle.

>>121539646
1. When you're supposed to go back to Elysia. Sleep at an inn, you'll get a skit about it. When you talk to Rose and one of the options is 'I know what to do about Edna' then you're good to go. If you're on your way to Camlann you should be able to do it now.
2. After beating the game and reloading your clear data, go up the stairs. Before the room leading to the final boss, there's a portal that'll take you there.
3. If your quest log (Rose) is clear then you're good to go. Though if I remember right, you can't actually go past Lastonbell until you at least go to Elysia. Anything that might have been missable has already been missed at this point.
>>
>>121540759
slept at an inn about 6 times, no skit. town specific?
>>
>>121540759
And the non-missable things will just reopen once you beat the game anyway.

>>121541432
Maybe? I think I got it in Marlind. I took care of Eizen before going to Elysia for the last time, since it was on the way.

>>121543868
They grew up in Elysia, surrounded by people (well, seraphim) who knew about Michael and Muse and Camlann, but thought it'd be too painful of a story for them to know.

As for the humans they meet, well, Sorey and company don't actually get along too well with humans they meet, so... We don't actually know how successful of a shepherd Michael was so maybe he simply wasn't that memorable. He clearly wasn't that great at it, because Gramps really didn't seem that surprised that he 'fell'.

Micheal probably lived in a era with no lord of calamity. Which means most of his exploits were probably just purifying Hellions. Also, most people probably don't want to remember a Shepherd that gave birth to a dark era.

why did they think this was a good idea
>>
>>121545385
Well, he did do SOMETHING notable. He moved Maotelus from where he was enshrined in Pendrago to the shrine in Camlann. Presumably, he did this because of the growing malevolence in Pendrago/the church, which he saw as a threat to Maotelus. But he never told any of the humans he moved Maotelus, which is what led to Rolance/Heldalf occupying Camlann and Maotelus becoming corrupted.

It's not a discrepency. Micheal WROTE the Celestial Record. Before him, there hadn't been a Shepherd in 200 years.

As for doing something notable, he did, it's just that it wasn't known by many. And the fact that he CAUSED the next Age of Chaos would not really cause people to remember him fondly.
>>
This is the first Tales game where I'm about to beat the game and I don't understand the plot.
>>
>>121546462
theory time: She made an Oath, one of the big deal oaths like Lailah took that gave her purification powers. The oath let her seal off Camlann but trapped her in some out of time limbo. But Heldalf's domain > the power of her oath, so the seal broke and spit her back out.

could be wrong. maybe they explain it better in moon or supplementary material.

Can we all agree Fury Sparks is the best tales battle theme?
>>
>>121546639
So the celestial record is only 16-20 years old?

The book is so widespread that both Alisha and Sorey know it by heart. Why wouldn't anyone know Micheal from the book alone? It's frustrating that no one says anything about this.
>>
>>121547423
A major portion of the plot doesn't make sense if you start with Milla. She's not very interesting anyway
>>
>>121546639
>>121547654

Why is Micheal writing the celestial record?

That's supposed to be the storytellers job.

He can't be the storyteller AND the Shepard.
>>
>>121547654
Why would you want anyone to remember that worthless loser? Its like I'm watching Asbel all over again but this time he suffer for his mistakes.
>>
>>121547808
It's never said anywhere that the Storyteller's job is to write the Celestial Record. The storyteller did make all the monoliths you find in the game though
>>
>>121547654
Because he's dead and died in a bad way.

Look, don't think of the Celestial Record as some kind of ancient text. It's just one man's recordings of stuff he saw around the continent written about twenty years ago. He traveled with Lailah, retired from being the Shepherd, founded a new town, wrote the book there, and then things went to shit.
>>
>>121547710
so why is it even an option
>>
>>121547808
>That's supposed to be the storytellers job.

....no it's not, it never says this anywhere. It's literally just a book about his travels. It wasn't part of a job, he just wanted to write a book.

The same way his nephew was thinking of writing a book of his travels. He might have been soured on the idea by now.

That whole 'his wife' thing was a translation error, it was supposed to be 'family member'.

If she could explain it, she would lose the power to purify to begin with.

Artes are based off levels and titles. Mostly levels though.

Sort of. They have invisible numerical requirements. Titles affect the numbers on level up. Stronger titles seem to have more effect if NG+ is anything to go by. With gold titles equipped I had all artes on most characters by the low 30s.

Did they accidentally give the tragic mc backstory to Mikleo instead of Sorey? Like the entire plot revolves around Mikleo's family and Heldaf but Sorey is just a random kid gramps found and decided to make Shepard
If Michael was Sorey's dad he'd have the "sins of the father" to rectify etc. As it stands they didn't give all that stuff enough attention at all, especially Mikleo's thoughts

The MC isn't always the saddest character in the game though? I mean, Even in the games where the MC has a childhood friend who went through the same shit the childhood friend usually suffers more. Loni lives with his guilt, while Kyle repressed the memory. Lloyd has a sad backstory, but it's piddling compared to Colette and Genis. What did Veigue go through, freezing his girlfriend? Stahn has dead parents, yeah, but it wasn't a traumatic event and he's in the same game as Leon. Jude only goes through shit during the game, not before. Tales MCs don't tend to have big dramatic backstories about how sad they are, that's reserved for side characters.

Mikleo had already been sacrificed by the time Sorey's mother accidentally shot him out.

>>121550306
Lloyd grew up with a caring adoptive father. Zelos grew up with a father who slept around and a mother whose last words as she was murdered in front of him were that he should never have been born, after which his only remaining family was locked away. Presea's mother died, her father got sick, her sister moved away to make more money (only to get killed) and then Presea became a zombie slave for over fifteen years, ignorant of her father wasting away in front of her. Regal had to kill his lover. Kratos had to kill his wife. Colette grew up isolated thinking her only purpose was to die. Raine and Genis lived constantly on the run after their father died and their mother went crazy.

Do you think they planned Zestiria to be full of such a large amount of sorrow and suffering from the beginning or did it just end up that way due to cuts/rushing and they didn't go back through and tweak it?
>>
>>121557672
Honestly, all you have to do is look at how all the sidequests in the game play out to see Zestiria was always going to be a SUFFERING game. You can't blame all the dead kids on story cuts.

Oh, I know. Coming up on the end now.

Surprised that Mikleo isn't, and still sorta wish, he was a bit more of a mess by now. They sure piled it on.
>>
>>121558689
yeah, wish they'd shown him breaking on screen because you just know it had to be explosive when it did happen.
>>
>>121558689

I don't know what to blame that on, they throw so much at him and kinda sorta touch on it here and there but never actually show you anything. He does tend to get a little jealous whenever Sorey is dealing with one of the girls so maybe that would have been an element on the two route system, you'd have to juggle two people with emotions going every which way.

Muse popping in at the end felt a casualty of the rush job, they didn't put in any of the content leading up to that moment for it to make sense or be super emotional. I'm a little surprised Sorey never brings up his mother either, no fucks given on his part.
>>
>>121557672
There's a lot of stuff that feels like it was cut for time. Edna's quest for example feels like there should have been way more to it, but you pretty much just go back and kill him.

I mean, the beginning of the game there are some neat little things, like the dog chasing lunarre dying if you take too long, the choice of selling the spear or pipe to get enough money to bribe the guard, and choosing whether to fix the bridge or not. Those neat choices vanish pretty quickly.
>>
>>121559050

Lailah explains to you how the journey of the shepherd isn't going to be easy because of how humans will view him, they give you the bridge scene and the dinner with Bartlow then drop the idea completely for the rest of the game. I was expecting to have to deal with that the whole way, making choices and feeling the joy of people praising or the sadness of being treated like a monster.

It would have made a place like Lohgrin stand out a bit more too.
>>
>>121550315

Kind of has the opposite effect.
>>
>>121559414
I found it disappointing that there was never a moment like the dinner with Bartlow for the Rolance side. You always have Sergei on your side in Rolance, apparently doing a better job of covering for Sorey than Alisha could. There's that bit with the Cardinal that gets potentially messy, but Sorey never gets called before the emperor or his advisors or anything. Shit, Rolance never even calls him out on helping Hyland in the initial skirmish of the war. Sorey and Sergei just beat each other up, become bros, and that's that.

Speaking of dropped plots, what the hell ever happened with that fake Shepherd asshole? The Rolance guy who went around taking credit for Sorey's good deeds and who threatened Slenge? He just disappears after that.
>>
>>121559414
On the other hand, I appreciated that the normal humans don't do anything to cross you once you nuke the army. The whole 'antagonize the demigod' thing has always been stupid.
>>
>>121559414
>they give you the bridge scene and the dinner with Bartlow then drop the idea completely for the rest of the game.

Well, that's not entirely accurate. I loved the scene on the battlefield when the soldiers just see one person marching towards them and then they get tossed in the air like popcorn. Someone tries to stab him in the back and gets smacked aside. A whole hail of arrows is deflected and even the people Sorey has come to save are unnerved. That was great.
>>
>>121560702

That moment was great but the general public through the rest of the game has no reaction to you, the only look you get is via gossip quotes from npcs. With some more work they could have really played up the "why are you fighting for these people" idea.

The best part is the 25th anniversary title will require a new engine built from the ground up targeted at the then 7 year old PS4, but unfortunately the workload will be higher than expected meaning yet another anniversary title rushed out the door in an incomplete state.

I have to ask, what's this two route system you're talking about ? Was it confirmed that Zestiria was planned to have this system or is it just speculation ?
Would it have been a Rose/Alisha choice, or maybe Rose/Mikleo ?
>>
>>121579246

I'm not sure if they ever officially said anything about it but the idea does seem to be supported by looking at a lot of the broken ends in Zestiria. You have a lot of content geared towards eithe Alisha or Rose that ends up not making sense, as if they had to suddenly merge two separate ideas into one.

I didn't buy into it entirely until I got to Maltran later in the game, that there sold me on the idea that they did have separate routes for each girl and that Maltran was going to be far more important to the story on Alisha's side. Hell they have her in the opening and a decent amount of official artwork and yet she is completely pointless to the games story and only really appears for a few minutes.

Best waifu, keeping an eye on the treacherous human girl who came to steal his husbando.

So, I'm playing ToZ and really trying to like it, because I'm a huge Tales fan, even played all the Japan-only ones.

The skill system is fucking killing this game for me. Like, maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like fusion is extremely important in developing your characters, and you have very little control over what skills get transferred or combined into other skills seemingly arbitrarily. Am I just doing it wrong, or is it really, really fucking hard to fuse gear with skills you actually need on it?

Shit sucks because I keep finding gear and never wanting to use it because it fucks up my skills.

Honestly kinda thinking of just saying fuck it and playing Disgaea 5 instead.
>>
Is there a 100% guide anywhere?
>>
>>121587329
You don't really need all the good skills to play the game, just fuse and and stack or line up whatever it is available to you.
Although i do admit that not having the "good" skills triggers one's autism.
And besides, you won't get a very good skill set in your first playthrough anyway, unless you took the time to grind them.
>>
>>121583432
That's not how stores work.
>>
>>121587524
It just bothers me that I get a new sword that's much better than the one I have, then I equip it, and my stats fucking plummet because I lose a bunch of skills.

I wish they at least had it like in Destiny 2 where you could choose one slot to carry over when you fused equipment, or had Normin that you've found sell you their skill as a slot instead of just initially giving it to you once when you find them, which is unlikely to be useful.

Just seems very poorly designed. You're supposed to fuse equipment to advance your character, but doing so fucks with your skills, which is the other big system they tried to emphasize. It's like that have two major systems that you're supposed to use to advance your characters and making use of one fucks with the other. It's very silly.

I'm sure they spent endless hours creating gear for Alisha to use just incase some maniac decided to farm for weeks in the starting areas with her. Even still that wouldn't explain why they would have shops selling her gear throughout the game, shes not going to need a level 40 spear from pendrago when she rejoins later on at level 60.

It's clear she was meant to be around more in some fashion and they just didn't go back and clean things up when they changed it.
