>>1437962"crying girl fetish" dev is having a field day this anniversary
>>1437962Im guessing it isn't an Form Change? Probably the one time im sad that its not an fc. I also think they should have gone the Arise Zephry route and given Elle an xMA with Vic or Lud
>>1438579>given Elle an xMA with Vic or Ludit's the asteria version of a novel-exclusive character, so that'd be.... pretty strange
What is this button? I was getting units ready to play coop and noticed it. I thought it was to swap equipped weapons around but tapping or dragging does nothing
>>1438865When you swap characters in coop they immediately use an arte. That selects what arte they use.I recommend using 5*s because the swapped arte continues the combo, meaning if you combo up to using a charged arte and switch then the other character will come out using the charged arte too.
>>1438874Oh how about that. Thanks.
https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1773998610767843769?s=20
>>1438865Similar to Switch Blast function from Berseria.The lower the CC cost of the Switch Blast, the faster it is to switch again.
>>1438919Muzet barely got any stuff compared to most characters. They're gonna steal her MA too?
>>1439014Your right. Although I believe it has Gaius’ sword in the middle of the blast, her thing is stealing peoples weapons and using them since she’s not a fighter.
Anni seems to be pretty much over today to tomorrow.Dont forget to check all of the Turtlez shops to exchange for any tickets or event currencies. Buy any costumes you might like. Use up any Grade pity.
>>1439014Yeah. She's weirdly absent. I believe she's the only mage for X2 and she kinda sucks in Rays
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVgn48ERIQ4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P921rrPNaJshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tO0scVxb7nohttps://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1774272907512050150?s=20https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1774273159220662689?s=20https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1774273411327418570?s=20
>>1439518Yep, Orie indeed uses X1 final boss Gaius’ sword for the MA
>>1439518Does this game have new musical arrangements of old Tales games? In this case Xillia 2 specifically... damn we need Xillia 3.
>>1439554I don’t think so no, they usually rip tracks directly from the games. So if it’s a Xillia event, they just play tracks from Xillia. This is an Asteria event so unless they made an original arrangement for X2 for its story arc about Elle, it’s all just tracks from Asteria and X2.
>got Victor oMA from the free rollsI guess better than nothing
Despite getting the collab character treatment, AElle has a base MA you can buy in the Turtlez shop early, or you can wait for the raid to be completed
Where's the April Fool's event?
It's so over bros
They modified it.
>>1442487The artist redrew it to add more characters to celebrate the 10th anni.
>>1442487>All the hairstyles they'll never have anywhere else...Sophie would have been better placed between Orie and Milla if she's gonna be half a head like that.
>>1442487>Your game is too Fujo, please fix this as soon as possible
>Chronos shows up at the end of the eventWonder if that was a hint of him being playable soon.
>>1442695Probably not considering he didn't have proper skit portrait art.
>>1442700Orie doesnt have a single "emotion" or other skit portrait, and they made her show up in every scene, dont think thats a big deal.
>>1442706But that's still a skit portrait. Chronos was reused card art and wasn't even standing straight.I think we can take this as the devs are considering putting him in but haven't finish making him yet. Victor first appeared with reused art and it took him a year to become playable after that (he had proper skit portraits by then). But there have been a ton of other characters that appeared in the story that still aren't playable, so there's no guarantee for anything.
Schwartz has a fully functional model and she still isn't playable for years
>>1443033Grune gets her eMA along with Schwartz release, trust the plan, Grunebros
There is an eMA ticket at 7 million points if people haven't noticed. It is certainly worth the investment
>>1443056>kocisI guess I'll build him............. I have 3 of his 5*s, one of them being his pink burst one..........
>>1443105He's pretty mobile and one of his 5* has great range (he spins his weapon with wind and covers him from all angles). I like using him more than Ix.
>>1443137I think I have that along with the water one and cherry blossoms, and I just tried him out a few minutes ago.He actually is more fun than Ix. I really have been sleeping on the OCs unless they came prepackaged in a banner or xMAs.
>>1443140Yeah despite Ix getting the most stuff, having the overray gimmick and having i-frames cheese, his moveset has always felt clunky from years of use. His scarlet nex collab 5* really saved him for giving him a ranged arte that goes will with his constant dash artes to close those gaps.Take off healing and those weird melee artes off Mileena and shes instantly betterMarcus is also good, just abit slow, but has good range and coverage 5* wiseKaria is the weird one with her mirror teleport gimmick, dont really get the hang of itPhil is just regular mageYolande is probably the craziest ballerina melee ever and its great.
>>1443156>Take off healing and those weird melee artes off Mileena and shes instantly betterI legit just spam her 0* art after backstepping with the occasional 5* right after the minimum chain.I'm also fond of Mercuria mainly because of that 3* needle skill for keepaway and her cackling in her first 5*.
>>1443166I spam Mileena 2nd burst, its a charge that leaves TWO giant ass traps, and then spamming it causes her to jump back and leave a small trap, so good to combo into a different 5* for an easy master arte proc.Oh yeah i forgot about Nevar, Merc and BaldoMerc's burst is also a charge and its a giant wrecking ball. Perfect for Best Hero. She has very good aoe stuff in generalNazar is also a more mobile and agile Ix.Baldo is very quick brawler, specializes on one target so not a whole lot of range though outside of master artes.
>>1442695He doesn't have any of the indicators for that in the datamines. No placeholder and a very high character ID.Other characters in this situation have been made playable, but considering this isn't even Tir Na Nog's Chronos I believe, it's unlikely.
>>1443156>and those weird melee artes off MileenaMileena is mostly a melee user? The only other thing worth using is Moon Serenade (which should be spammed anyways, so I guess it doesn't matter)
We should be expecting PV sooner or later.
>>1443750Probably early next week, the day before the Asteria event ends
>missed the anniversaryFeels bad, I wanted a reason to get back into this. My Tales senses were tingling
>>1443826You can still get into it at least, you just wont be able to play as your specific favorites right away. But you can start saving for them.
Last day to use your guaranteed dupe tickets
>Y*riThat's the shittiest character I could've gotten from the eMA ticket.
>>1445153I think you're cursed, anon.
>>1445260I refuse to use Yuri unless he's needed for events. Flynn is my man and Raven can proceed to fuck me senseless. Yuri can go die in a fire.

>>1445562>Recollection castThat's underwhelmingBut it looks like they have a collab soon given how this is the only event they showed
>>1445562>dead monthThank goodness I can skip.>no playable dilf with that awful haircutSad though.
>>1445562Is that an Ending MA for Kodama? So is the Recollect story ending or what the fuck?
>>1445562>tfw Orwin doesn't get in Rays before possible EoS
Kodama's hair is so fucking awful
What are some guesses on the collab? I want a Black Clover rerun, so a new part 2 collab would be nice, the manga is nearing its end as well. Wouldn’t surprise me if they decide to give Asta and Yuno a form change, along with Noelle and Julius getting added. Or Noelle and another booba girl.
>>1445579>black cloverI'll only be interested in the tales characters then. If none, I guess it's a full skip.
>>1445579>>1445580I say Black Clover because it has a gacha game now Weirdly successful too
>>1445579Producer said last time that Leo is his favourite character, so if it is BC he'll probably be involved.
Seems like Rays might end soon. The doomposting is very strong right now on the nips >Tfw Orwin won't even make it againPoor guy
>>1445562I doubt you could even count with your fingers the amount of people that give 2 shits about Recollection's story or characters
>>1445571The producer letters have been saying it was ending soon for the last few months already.>>1445601People have been doomposting constantly for the last 2 years ever since Rays' main story ended. We're still here now.
>>1445612I'm just coping that they'll probably just focus more on events since they did mention eMAs for the rest of the playable cast in other games later on.
https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1777260095463940530
P letter talks about bread at the end. Guess we're getting Mimi soon.
>>1445663Oh yeah, There are mined MAs that have bread in them so it is talking about MimiRays is just setting up doomposting for nothing. Still, no one gives a shit about the Recollections cast outside of easy diamonds
>still no Largo>God General collection still incompleteI'm also surprised they haven't started adding Nan, Tyson, and Clint for the Vesperia cast.
What was that site to see the sales? I want to know the numbers they did with Elle's release.
>>1445665It speaks volumes how poorly received are the Recollection characters when the first thought is that we're getting EoS'd when they're the event
>>1445760Can you blame them? They're ugly as fuck
>>1445763Haze is pretty fine and so does the Cheria bootlegKodama would've been acceptable but his hair is cancer.The rest are unsalvageable. I can see why they would elicit "EoS"
>>1445769MC is literally Rose head put into Male body kek
>>1445769You'd think being overdesigned is the last thing Fujishima would do.
>>1445769These are horrid. None of them look good
>>1445769Maybe because I have an android girl fetish, but I think Liwanna looks fine. The biggest problem is her wing looking like a curtain when closed, it looks better when it's open.I find it ironic that people liked young Baldo (at least on the jp side), but started disliking him just because he's older now.
>Legendia gets a complete joke character as playable>still not a single actual villain playable>Schwartz just got used as a boss for the 80th timeBruh
It looks like Agrad is getting stuck in lobby NPC hell for some reason, so sorry if you wanted playable lion daddy.
>>1445612>The producer letters have been saying it was ending soon for the last few months already.To be fair, there was at least 1 or 2 anon's on here adamant about that being a google translation error when someone posts the dev letter here and that its totally not what it means trust me bro. Despite it being very clear.
I got Luke's eMA new, which i feel incredibly lucky to get since i think i've managed to get every eMA that was available since 3/31/23.
>>1445933Mimi is a cute girl
>>1445933>>still not a single actual villain playableWalter?
>>1446046Walter is just gay for Senel. Legit forgot, i remember Vaclav more
Weirdly enough, if Mimi event is after Recollections eMA, we unironically got three new characters back to back for the entire April
>>1446086And we still don’t have the full months line up, since they’re hiding a collab.Also I noticed Dio and Mel textures in the datamine, possible content soon? Or are they truly really dead and buried
https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1777622485636354103https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1777622730889908323
>>1446094>tfw they're the tales collab units
>>1445741https://game-i.daa.jp/?APP/1113231866
>>1446257I highly doubt it, i was thinking the Mimi event might be some baking/chef event where the twins dress up as chef/waiters. You'd think that the 2 characters whose entire schtick is to wear different outfits would have gotten a seasonal by now.
>>1445966They said "climax" 6 chapters into an 11 chapter story, so no it really didn't mean the end, that's the halfway point.I also said it would probably end in April or May. It's April now, it's ending. Shocking.
>>1446257its an xma

>>1446615The girl got probably the most visually lacking origin ever. Like damn that looked like the basic MAs you get when you unlock a character for free.
>>1446628She's a Recollections character. It shows how they really didn't like them but needs to push out OCs for whatever reasons
7 million for a dMA ticket. They want you to roll for those rejects for the bonus
>>1445656>ErnatIs there another way of romanizing that, or did they really mean to saddle her with such a dumb name?
>>14467037 mil rewards have been a thing since half a year ago.
>>1446703I wonder who is insane enough to like those recollection OCs for a big bonus. There's no established tales chara or Ix/Mileena to carry them
>>1446706
>>1446730Elnath is a little better than Ernat at least.
https://x.com/hx2_023/status/1777990416006324321Ernat has a different MA as an enemy.
>>1446715I saw someone with 70.0% on that new OC girl.
>>1446855basado
>going from having over 350% bonus from the previous raid, to barely hitting 125% in this raidThats just depressing. Dont think i even want to bother with the 3mill sMA ticket.
>>1446855>>1446888lolis are justice after alli pulled a lot for her but my bonus is low because my luck was bad...
>>1447113>SpoilerWhy? Even for a pedo, your standards are low
>>14471431. she's cute.2. i'm a /u/fag and like oneeloli a lot so i want to field her with haze3. her role in the story is fun. fun motivations, fun thing to do with that particular dangling plot thread4. i like her personality a lot... married-to-her-job workaholic just because she likes her boss... her really bad decisions... bickering with kodama, getting emotional easily even though shes a serious millitary commander type... multi-layered gap moe5. i'm actually not usually a proper lolicon and just like cute girls but actually her thighs peeking out is nice. big shirt+tiny shorts that dont even show without an upskirt... though with mercuria too rays has mostly just taught me i ike thighs peeking out on cute little girls6. she's cute.thanks btw i wanted an excuse to talk about her
>>1447113>lolis*Hebe Her body isnt THAT small.
>>1447242shes physically 13 and has a height to match. youre being fooled by her coat and heels probably.
>>1447247Thats exactly why shes hebe
Really need to get a new phone for this. This bitch likes to crash the game whenever it feels like it. Good thing this is just a recollections OC event
>>1448723Try emulator? I used to use Memu and Bluestacks with no issues. I moved over to my tablet for convenience.
Warning .You don't recruit Ermet or whatever is her name in the event properYou have to get her in the recollection stages so there's a reason why we have those free Origin MA tickets
>>1449889I got her 5* from the tickets so I didn't even know.
>>1450175>>1449889I got her MA but I did notice I never got a skit from her
>>1449889I guess it's time to finally start doing recollection.
>>1449889Luckily found it out in time. I completely neglected doing the Recollect story and training them up, so it took my 3 days to get them up to speed. Her boss fight was kinda bullshit since she can heal herself for 5k with a taunt animation and has a fuckton of armor to break through.

>>1451493>had unlocked SG on Mithos>gets an actual SGMotherFUCKER
>>1451493>Ix gets another ending MA>despite it obviously looking like another xMA for him and Mileena>no Mimi for the bread eventBoy what the hell.
>>1451493I honestly felt people were overreacting about Eos signs from the current Recollection event. It was just Reco ending, Rays could easily go on without them.But that Ix eMA just screams "This is the real ending!"Are they really having an event with just 1 new MA?
>>1451503Wouldn’t be the first time. That one Tales of Fest celebration event just had an Ix sMA. I believe there was a hot springs event that just had Zelos as well.It’ll probably be structured like the Rays ending raid event, where every character had boosted bonus.
BLUE EARTHNgl that animation was kinda sex
The PV is labeled as April and Mays PV. I’m waiting for the dev letter to get posted, something feels off, unironically.
>>1451504>That one Tales of Fest celebration event just had an Ix sMA. I believe there was a hot springs event that just had Zelos as well.In both those cases, they didn't take up an event slot. They just released a banner with the new MA and a short story quest while another unrelated event was ongoing.I suppose that could also happen here, but it's still really ominous.
>>1451508I won’t fully disagree here, because I do have a weird feeling, but Ix’s MA is advertised as “Ix and Everyones” eMA so it feels pretty clear they’re throwing an event where everyone is usable like the Rays ending raid. Whether it is symbolic or alluding to something ominous is up in the air.
>>1451503I believe it still chalks up to the Reco OCs as a whole being poorly received.
>>1451508>>1451512Checking the UA schedule, Ix is grouped with RaysFes, so they probably are releasing it during that time.
https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1780521582450139459https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1780521833588019615
>>1451496Same anon, same.
>>1451598This bread event feels like the April Fools event they didnt do. Just dumb they didnt make Mimi playable along with it.
>>1451493>chloe, colette, millaskip>sgs for marta, rinwell, mithosskip because grinding for at least 1 sg during the event is possible>xmas for nono3/asteria girl, dio/melmeh>xma for kanata/misellafuck i wanted to save>ema again for Ix with impending eos dread........
It's going to be really funny if Rays does get EoS'd and we still don't have Orwin like it's already bad enough he's literally non existent
>>1451804They're really self aware of it because Yuna came in as a standalone event rather than going by pairs like with the other Crestoria events
>>1451804>>1451806The funniest thing is that they will never acknowledge Luminaria
Never change Raysbros.
>>1451493So they took this Orie/Kannono out of the other xMA banner cause Orie was in the next Elle event.
>>1451923Would make sense since Cheria/Sophie obviously didn't match the pink haired portable/mobile characters theme they had going for that one.
Bro the dev letter, where is it?
>>1451859>Released both April and May PV together It's over for sure this time
We should've gotten Mimi for the bread event, no? It feels weird to just have three charactersunless it's gojover
>>1452036>It feels weird to just have three charactersIt's been like this for half a year already. Events only have 3 new MAs nowadays. The only exception is the Xenosaga collab which you can argue got special treatment because it was a collab. Other than that, the last event with 4 MAs was the group b origins all the way back in october. You may have been tricked by most events having an xMA to fill up character numbers.
>>1452036>>1452118I think we might've gotten Mimi but was axed at the last minute. Chloe is one of the sMAs after all so there might've been last minute changes
>>1451859I'm that second post. I still do believe Rays will last until there's a replacement, though it might not necessarily be a mobage. The next console game would probably be enough to take pressure off from eos news. I predict Rays will keep going at least into next year and end in late 2025.I'd be glad to be wrong and it kept going though.
https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1780883972978851873
>>1452276>30th tales anniversary next year>bamco hasn't registered a new tales name>total radio silence about the new console gamewe will see about that
>>1452291>4 BraidsUgly
>>1451967We got one a few days ago, we are not getting another one until May.
>>1452607It wasn't a complete dev letter, they labeled it as "80.99", and that was 10 days ago.That dev letter even states that it will be updated once the next PV releases (this one).
Thanks to those oMA tickets, i landed on the megaphone girl and notVelvet, the only 2 i didn't have. I have everyone except the new girl, neat!

>>1453052>Chloe's MA had nothing to do with bread...????
>>1453059The animation changes if you equip the bread weapon. As to why they didn't post that version on youtube instead is beyond me, but its in the 5* preview on twitter.
>>1452803Congrats. Those tickets gave me a dupe of the MC and two new ones, but I don't mind since I got the MC's oMA for the first time from the event tickets. Those 200 diamonds (and more) are a really nice buffer for our stashes.
Is it true Ix and Milenna are more like siblings than a couple as of now?
>>1453457Mileena loves Ix, but Ix friendzoned her saying he does likes her but not in the same way she likes him.Fujos will probably tell you it was pandering them, but I'm pretty sure the point of that was to emphasize that 3rd Ix is different from 1st Ix as that scene was shortly after finding out 1st Ix and Mileena(Gefion) were married.
>>1453482"shortly after" is wrong, and "married" is wrong too (the original Ix died something like the day before his wedding lmao) but he does start to think about it shortly after that, when he speaks to first Ix in the anima crucible, and gets told he doesn't need to make the same choices or have the same feelings as him. But the rejection scene happens in an entirely different arc, roughly 11 chapters later. He was really thinking hard about it for a very long time, lol.
>>1453390It is, my stash needs it after Elle. Im going all in on Ix eMA2 with what little i have. What ever happens down the line, I'll go down dying as the Ixfag that doesnt actually like Ix all that much.
>>1453482>>1453523Uh.... there's alot of things I don't understand then. So they're not together in the main timeline then? Okay
>>1454224Or any timeline. They're clones, not alternate timeline versions. The third Ix and the second Mileena have been our Ix and Mileena from the start until now and until forever. The people they're clones of were engaged, but ours aren't and almost certainly will not be.But Ix did sort of retract to something less committal at the end of Arc 4. But I doubt they'll get together in official materials; the point of the ending was to be vague so they're not just doing the same thing as the original Ix and Mileena or actively avoiding what the originals did. They're doing what they want.The original Mileena is the cloaked woman you see around in arc 1, Gefion. The original Ix is her dead fiance, and the original Phil is the Phil who's playable. Ix has two clones (one dead, telling you third Ix has always been our Ix is technically a lie but close enough because the other Ix clone had maybe 10 minutes of screentime at the very start), Gefion has one (just our Mileena), and Phil has two (Phantom and Junior). They're not replicas, so they have memories from the people they're clones of, but to some extent those memories are altered or incomplete (due to being cloned off an earlier time period, for example)
>>1452324expect an oav or anime series based on Arise with some remasters or ports in between
>>1454258nta but what was up with the 2nd Marcus? When i first saw Marc with a new haircut, i just thought it was a redesign for the new arc at the time.
>>1454499That's just Junior's Mark. They probably redesigned him so you can differentiate the two or maybe it was to suggest Junior has different fashion sense than Phil.
>>1454499>>1454669both probably, because his outfit has some bifrost inspiration to it. (and while he has memories of phil's childhood, everything hes done himself has been either sticking by mercuria's side or working with bifrost once theyre their own faction..)makes you wonder how close our karia might be to nevan if she got bigger.
>Felt no regrets rolling everything in this gachaWhat a weird feelingMaybe I did have a feeling that the end is near and it's not like any of my favorites will be getting new stuff since they're all decked out
https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1784145462502547645
>>1459355Are the wings different too? I don't remember them being this pixelated before
>>1459436Probably just looks that way when they make it a transparent background for these teasers. In-game, they would have just edited the current wings model.
>>1459587the wing model is two giant polygons with textures stretched onto them

>>1461019It's not supposed to be Aska? Then what spirit?
>>1461045Spirit gear doesn't have to match the logical element for a character.They've also bullshitted things to be spirits outside of the default before.But since her MA has birds, most likely the person who fucked up wasn't the social media guy.

tell me why we couldn't have Rays whereas the others failed or ended?
>>1461019Looks like they didn't forget. They reference that scene in the event and blame it on Denebrae.
you think there'll be a remaster for DotNW before its 30th anniversary?
>>1461153Look at the state of Symphonia and remember it's one out of two remasters in five years.

>>1446304Wow.

>>1461049>>1461045>>1461019It's not that. In the story, Marta wanted to check if she has resonance with Aska but didn't work so people thought her spirit gear would be someone elseWell, they forgot about that and made it Aska anyway
>>1462499But they didnt tho >>1461152
>>1462499>It's not that.Why did you quote the first and last reply there, exactly. The first is just explaining that she didn't have to have a light sgma, and even so it wouldn't have needed to be aska. The last is just saying that there was a fuckup and she shouldn't be aska.
>>1462518that doesn't mean they didn't forget, that means the writers didn't forget and cleaned up after the dev team lmao
>>1462499>>1462529Just because she said it didn't work before, doesnt mean it was never going to happen if she tries again years later. There was nothing conclusive about it. Stop being a retard, or keep going, doesnt really make much of a difference.
>>1462542is it even years later? it's a video game, it's not like real world time mattersit wasnt conclusive, but the explanation given in the story is kind of stupid. i dont know why youre getting mad on behalf of the devs
>>1462827"Tenebrae's element is dark and that was affecting Marta" sounds like something they just came up with. He's still accompanying them too. Ratatosk is actually a spirit, and the third arc seemed to be hinting at Marta getting a Spirit Gear with him as the medium, much like Luke got Lorelei. They just didn't follow through with it for whatever reason, so they came up with some random excuse.Being uninterested in Arise I don't know if I'm missing something with Rinwell's, but we are given no reason as to why Mithos got Shadow either. Feels like Rays was just phoning in for this event.
Basado.Thanks anon for clarifying that tickets can actually get the banner MAs of all things otherwise I'd be confused. It unlocked T3 of the SG and added 200 more of those pink mirror things to my stockpile of the character.It just had to be the racist from not-Tales though luckily I was grinding for Mithos so whatever.
>>1463144>Being uninterested in Arise I don't know if I'm missing something with Rinwell'sRinwell is more of a light element since only Dahnans can use light artes but since she's from Cyslodia which is the resident Ice town. She got Celsius instead
Well it was already quiet, and Golden Week only made it worse.
>>1465619sign of eos
>got Mithos SG from ticketsWelp at least the game threw me a bone
>>1465619Tfw I forgot about the selectors expiration date
https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1788131732534824961
>>1466659Damn, fucking RIP.
>>1465619There's usually a campaign for Golden Week. Damn, I really don't like the signs piling up
>>1467226Yeah its starting to get to me too. Man, i know it was a long run, but i really do like this game after all these years, even if its just tuning in to empty my stamina bar twice a day or play the tower two/three times a month and actually playing with different units.It'd be a complete tragedy if they don't leave some offline version up, the amount of assets, especially for characters that made their first 3D appearance ever.
>>1467226>>1467254The data mines aren't helping either. No new mirrors mined
https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1788494119050113369https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1788494366656344489https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1788494618411352379
Well I hope they have a replacement on hand, this is the only active media for Tales of. Then again, it's Bamco...
>>1467483I'd rather they take the old Tales staff that's working on Rays and put them to work on porting/remastering the old games before they retire.
>>1467483This’ll be it for me in terms of Tales. Arise was “good”, but it was a one and done for me, didn’t bother replaying or going for the DLC. Knowing Bamco, they’ll release some shitty turn based jpeg collector gacha and that’ll be a hard pass. They should just sell a big Radiant Mythology game with everyone and wrap it up. Just feels sad.
>>1467558>Knowing Bamco, they’ll release some shitty turn based jpeg collector gachaYeah. It's called Union Arena. Arise is the only tales game there alongside big name shounen like One Piece, JJK, and MHA
>>1467969Lets be fair here, anime TCGs never work out for the long run, and they’re just riding off the coattails of the One Piece TCG blowing up before it fizzles out.

>>1468060Damn they really shoved Ix's eMA 2 in the Fes banner.
I don't want to say this butThis is the last event before they announced "it"?, isn't it?
>>1468092This event lasts until the end of MaySuffice to say. It's indeed ending
>>1468126It's just the gacha banner that's to the end of May, which by itself isn't unusual.But free pulls on the new banner that has no old MAs and the eMA doesn't have a lowered rate? Now that's a huge tell.
EOSOS
With 10 multis, I managed to pull every single thing and even dupes of the xMAs.This is very bitter sweet.
>people really clinging on to the hope that this is all obviously setting up a collabThey have literally never acted this way about a collab. They have no reason too, they always have fun with it and tease it to people with no issue. This radio silence, no updated letter when they stated it would be, and this event makes it painfully obvious
>>1468429I wonder if they decided to end service because revenue was so low last month, or if it was arranged in advance because Recollection was coming to an end anyway
What game(s) are you going to play after EoS?
>>1468547I've gone through 2 EoSs already (Dragalia Lost and World Flipper)... and grubble (seasonal player) looks like a corpse being dragged across the road at this point.I'll probably just stop altogether and slowly replay old console games.
>>1468558>grubble (seasonal player) looks like a corpse being dragged across the road at this point.I wish, last GW hat the highest cutoffs yet.We still get the monthly events, are finishing up M3 next month and started the new farmable RotB girls.
>>1468547This is the last mobile game I was playing that hasn't closed down including non-Bamco IPs, so just nothing. I will get into emulation or something.
>>1468092The event story does feel like it's the last one going by the ending.
>>1468547Tales of Slime Rimuru
>>1468547Nothing. I still have FEH on my phone for when I'm really bored, but that game is as stale as plain bread with zero change up except weapon descriptions getting longer. Then I have Pokemon Masters for casual 10 minutes of play. Gonna miss Rays for sure, played since the very beginning. I just pray they announce something offline, hopefully Capcom selling MegaMan X dive as an offline game made companies realize they can profit off of offline gachas.
>>1468429>>1468458They completely ignored Golden Week outside of labeling the coop season as GW. Thats basically the giant nail in the coffin. I will say, very surprised how long the game lasted with how very little they put things on sale. Mirrogems only have a sale during Anniversary and that's it. Pretty sure that wouldve kept profits going for another year-ish. Still saddening to see and expect it.
>>1468547Playing FFXIV new expansion in 1 and a half months from now for the time being
>>1468458Events take at least 4 months to set up, so if this Ix eMA was meant to be the final MA, they had to have decided on it at least by february. Though really, the signs they were planning on ending were already setting in back in october when they started reducing content.
Post your favorite illustrations that this game has blessed us with
>>1468864
>>1468881Thats a good one for me too. Bridal Mary and Summer Judith were my top arts along with it. Judith's new bikini wasn't as skimpy as her Vepseria one, but it was nice to see a new design for her.Everything about the Keroro collab was on-point too, definitely my favorite collab we got. Though i would have really liked a busty character cosplay as Aki but its whatever
While we're on these topics, whats something you personally wanted to see? In terms of an event or someone getting a specific MAI wanted to see an event that added Nan, gave Karol an oMA based on him getting over the Don's death, and Judith with an oMA based on her protecting Baul from the Hunting Blades.
>>1468902I'm surprised Milhaust from Rebirth never made an appearance
>>1468902Final boss from Radiant Mythology 1 and 2. Kinda weird only final boss from 3 is added. Also, Reve Unitia OCs
>>1468908He did appear, he just wasn't playable. He was one of the living doll lords they freed at the end of Last Cradle and he was with the Rebirth party during Agarte's event.>>1468920Lazaris is more popular than the other 2, probably thanks to Asteria and also being a girl. Her being playable also let's us make a full party of Kanonnos.
>>1468864Gotta say, the Ray artists and animators really did good jobs at recreating scenes from animated openings or cutscenes from the source.
>chester, a character that has been around since the first year, has only one extra costume by the end of the gameabsolutely grim, wonder if he would've gotten anything last year if people didn't complain
Chill, this data push fucked with several characters. EoS is probably soon, the game is 7.5 years old, but we have at least another month. Rays may be on borrowed time, but we won't know just how time they borrowed until it drops dead.The event also left plot hooks open, though it didn't set up anything specific.
>>1469101>left plot hooks openI wouldn't be surprised if they're saving those for a new gacha to "reset" all the rolls with a new story since there's not much incentive for players to roll at this point thanks to their units being practically maxed out..
>>1469101Rays console title please
>>1469101They could put out the message now or in 2 months it just depends on how much money they want to try and drain out of desperate people beforehand. They know it's set to end which is why they're reallocating assets to irrelevant places.
>>1468697>eMA animation has all MCs voiceIt's over
I just want one final gacha that has all the MAs. It would suck if this Festival xMA gacha is all we got
>>1469160I would be because that never works. It's also possible they're not doing anything with those plot hooks, but the ending of the event does not feel like an ending for Rays as a whole.>>1469190>reallocating assets to irrelevant placesIf they're still adding things to the files they're not doing that, no. They're definitely aware profits are down, but they don't seem to be visibly reacting to it other than cutting costs somewhat.>>1469216We have at leaast 2 more normal gacha bannersI do wonder if they're just trying to avoid yet another EoS being implicitly announced at Talesfes by making sure they have a PV for it though lmfao.
>Few months until Tales of Festival>Rays EoS'edLol
>>1469216It wont be. Thats not how games do EoS, the game wont just turn off at the end of the month. We would get an official statement on it, and get told the game goes off in 2 months-ish, with the final months having an event that extends into however much time is left.
>>1468902i wanted the xMAs to be a bit more creativethey peaked with philia/estelle, alisha/leia and loni/malik and then they mostly churned out xMAs with duos from the same game, which is extremely boring in a big crossover game like rays
>>1469300Yeah i agree with this. The anniversary villain ones were all pretty good. I would've liked to see Flynn/Guy, or Raven/Zaveid. I also would have liked to see stuff that referenced the Tales of Homeroom or the Rays chibi shorts, i know co-op emotes reference it, but an actual event with seasonals would have been great.
>>1469243It's in a week and a half. Rays only has to limp one more month if they want to have something to show at Talesfes for it.
>>1469350Talesfes isn't much of a place for announcements, whether it be Rays or Tales games in general. Ix and Mileena VA's will get invited and they'll just have their usual fun of doing skits and cracking jokes.
>>1469362>Ix and Mileena VA's will get invitedThey aren't.>Talesfes isn't much of a place for announcements, whether it be RaysThe only thing that ever gets announced at Talesfes is mobile game events. The final nail in the coffin for Crestoria was that Rays and Asteria had a news corner about their upcoming events, while Crestoria just had a short advertisement about things already implemented in the game.
>>1469300Harold/Pascal was refreshing to see. As well as Chaltier/Atwight using an MA from Destiny DC.Grassvalley/Orie also a recent one.
I give them credit for making the challenges not having the fucking bullshit time limit
maybe bandai should stop making gacha and make an actual decent Tales game for once
>>1471254That goes for most companies. Tell that to Capcom while your at it, they never learn.
>>1471254Radiant Mythology 4 WHen ??
>>1471315God I hope someday.
>>1471254Luminaria should have been a console game desu. At least Crestoria still has the manga.
>>1471652It's still funny all the time and effort they put into Luminaria's openings/endings and anime going to waste just cause they rebranded whatever it was going to be as a tales title. Same with the start of Crestoria's downfall being shit customer service.
>>1471254>DecentWe'll never get that under Tomizawa
Tfw I only got Kanata/Misella xMA from the free rolls so far.
>only current event gacha left >no new monthly 10% gacha>no new producer letter Ded
>>1472925>no new monthly 10% gachaall-out tower ended like 2 days ago anon...
>>1472359Meanwhile i just maxed out their xMA with all the free multis, and have gotten zero Ix eMA.
My track record so far>3/4 MLB Kanata and Misella xMA>1/4 MLB Dio and Mel xMA>0/4 MLB Ix eMA 2.0No Orie and Grassvalley
>>1473733I only got 1 Kanata/Misella xMA. Everything else are just dupe 3/4/5*
Their silence is deafening......
>>1474342Its depressing. They really should just get on with it and say it. I hate when devs decide to do this instead of just be honest, just to squeeze afew extra pennies from clueless folks.
Inomata death really killed Tales
>>1474342>>1474424Same thing happened with Crestoria.
>>1474424The longer they wait the harder it is for people to refund their anniversary purchase. Scummy to the core.
>>1474512Same thing happened with every mobage that died.
>>1474527*most(Very) Few of them were straight to the point after they showed some major warning signs like never ever characters being pullable and the subplots written to be ending. Dragalia for example.
>>1474533>Dragalia admits it months in advance>but leaves it’s in app purchases turned on almost for the entire duration of EoSNah, they’re advanced scummy for that one.
I wish Rays get a Megaman Dive Offline treatment, but this is bamco were talking about
>>1474611I still thought it was fair since they did actually announce it. It's on the players' fault for spending after that.
>>1474533>showed some major warning signs>written to be endingI didn't play Dragalia, but that's pretty much what Rays is doing, isn't it?>2nd eMA for the MC>main story and the after story finished
>>1474533dragalia rushed and there were plotpoints skipped, especially for characters that were shown in some cutscenes that never got a chance to be in the story.
symphonia is on sale for 20 dollars.
>>1474805Dragalia still had several loose threads to the story and some incomplete event stories, they just rushed a conclusion together to the bigger threat, on top of just "restarting" the universe as the happy ending because the villain fucked up the world super hard.
I lost count how many times i jerk off to Edna
>>1474986>>1474927>the new robots arc was never finished>tsukuyomi and zodiac clan leaders were rushed>aldred's henshin form and the syndicate still unsolved>northern country's war was completed in Valyx's CHARACTER STORY of all things>the Lovecraftian group, especially Heinwald's origins>some character backstories like one guy looking for the ice kingdom etcAt least the main story ended.
This is the last day, isn't it? I feel like it's about time they go out and say it already
If they're truly ending the service they'll not announce it before the Tales of Festival ends. That's terrible PR.
>>1475530I haven't logged in since the first day of the event.
>>1475530>>1475594>last day of event>no new event announcement or teasermight as well dead
>>1475530Last day for challenge quests, there's still another half day for the grinding quest, so they'll probably announce it tomorrow after that ends.

Anyone got the model rip of all Rays characters and weapons ?? Im 99% sure they will announce EOS this week
>>1475744Zestiria killed it, Arise just did nothing to save it.Modern long dev cycles is also a huge factor in the series dropping off. Tales always had mid games but it made up for that by rapid firing games yearly and they can't do that anymore.

>>1475795Dohalim's association with Kisara and being canonically woman-attracted doesn't do him any favor's with Mikleo/Leon fans.
Alright after all these years, i should probably ask this now, how the hell does Shizel's normal attack work? She just holds her hand out and freezes there. I'v seen her shoot a ball of energy like once every blue moon but have no clue what that was about.
>>1475829Its a counter.
>>1475891That’s… terrible for a mage’s basic attack. I would’ve labeled her as a terrible option for manual play if I didn’t pull her collab 5*
>>1475939The ball of energy is her second string of basic attack, which happens way after her first counter.yami no zankyo and yami no kigen works too, without the Zato arte.
>>1475939Rays has loads of design decisions that make no sense.90% of the "counter" artes, even ones that pass through, have no iron stance or I-frames (regular artes that pass through do) so if an enemies attack does more than 1 hit, which most do, you get hit out of it.

>>1476111Anon you don’t have to make up stuff, things are already as bleak as they come.
Crestoria has this kind of Maintenance before EoS
>>1475807Yeah. People tend to forget Talesfes polls are fujo dominated so a super heterosexual game like Arise wouldn't do any favors with the Mikleo obsessed crowd
>>1476204>Mikleo obsessed crowdYou mean the "fans" who only read the doujins and never played his game or watched his anime?
>>1476170Announcing EoS 2 months after Anni is scummy desu
>>1476234Worst part is that would have been decided months beforehand.
>>1476234You have no clue the amount of games that do this, its purposely done as a last ditch attempt at making some money before shutting down in-app purchases.
>free multi today as wellHuh, sounds like the free multis on this banner might continue until the last day of the banner, on the 29th. I was expecting them to stop free multis on the last day of the event, especially since we already got 500 grade points from it.
>>1476234A few hours until it's over
Welp, literally RIP. In-app purchases were removed on the android store. Its been fun, and sad.
>>1476650And on iOS
Tales Fest is gonna be real depressing if theres no real new game announcement.
>>1476660>Implying there will be any Tales FesAt this rate i wouldnt be surprised if they cancelled it.
>>1476650Tales is now literally dead
>>1476686Since they put Tales gameplay on that Slime Isekai game, yeah. Tales is 100% dead now
>>1476686Tales never even got the Persona 5 collab curse, how’d they manage that
>>1476660Would be really insulting to hold it without announcements this time

https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1792782755346141422offline version planned
>>1476714>In this offline version, each player's play status, including the characters they have joined and the equipment they have acquired, will remain.>Some functions, such as battles, scenario logs, and encyclopedia functions, will continue to be available (including collaborations).
>>1476714>>1476715Holy shit they actually did it. That’s great
>>1476714Holy based
>>1476714Does this mean eventually someone could release an apk with all characters unlocked? and I guess it would be possible to patch in a translation?
Fuck Scamco
>>1476722I mean if someone cares enough, yeah. No real connection to any servers so modders can have their way with it if there’s interest.
>>1476714>Aifred eventThey didn’t forget about it at least…
Apparently you won’t be able to upgrade your characters once offline transition happens. As weird as that sounds, start power leveling your favorites now, there is a unit enhancing campaign as part of the send off.
>>1476714They were given a choice of giving a Graces character a dMA/oMA/eMA besides Asbel or EoS and chose the later out of spite.
>Links, Cresty, and Asteria can all live on in Rays Offline>Fuck LuminariaDamn, the literal bastard child of this IP.
>>1476714Now THIS IS BASED
>>1476737Sophie could have saved Rays..
Wait so its FREE offline version ?
>>1476748Yes, it’s the same app updated to be offline, not a standalone separate app. Details are scarce.
About battles, looks like the offline version will just be the tower and Cless dojo, but the dojo will be updated to let you have a full party, put up to 6 enemies, and have regular and recollection modes.
>>1476754Story and Recollect are also accessible in the image that shows the home menu, so those have to have all their fights too.
>last rays thread before the eos announcement>has a picture of the last good tales game in the oppottery
free offline version?by scamco?what the fuck
>>1476757Yeah even I think they’re retarded for not charging people.
>>1476757theres probably gunna be broken shit that they're not willing to fix to sell it as a product
surprised they never did a tekken collab, asuka is literally in narikiri dungeon x
>>1476758>>1476757Really doubt it will be free.Probably they sell it on 30 dollars on steam. Similar to that Gacha Megaman game
>>1476763we'll seefrom just google translate this seems like a life support mechanism for existing players
>>1476755Those won't have any quests, it says you can only access the story parts and you need to unlock them while the game is still online.
>>1476763They're not going to put any effort into porting it, or make it actually function as a cohesive game. This isn't like Reve Unitia, this is for people who are already playing Rays.
>>1476760wasn't idolmaster have the most amount of Collab with tales of even with arise
>>1476714 Can someone translate the roadmap ?
Video games is truly dead.There are no space for AA development anymoreFuck Genshin impact
>>1476774Throw this through google translate:https://blog.tales-ch.jp/?p=1098
>EoS announcement weeks before Tales of FestivalWhat the fuck were they thinking ??? Not even Offline version will be enough, they better announce Radiant Mythology 4 or blood will be spilled at the Festval
>>1476785I would love to be able to make my own character again and make him different classes again
>>1476772yes, there are idolmaster costumes in most of the 3d games and some of its characters appear in hearts ds and ndxand that's not even going into the gacha stuff
>>1476785Honestly, I doubt there's much overlap between Rays players and Fes goers. Most Fes goers don't even play the console games, even less would touch the mobage especially Rays which is more gameplay focused.
Edna whoring out for more Tales appearances!
This will be the last Tales of Festival. They not gonna make anything Tales, accourding to the rays eos announcement, they will shut down most of their social medias. This is finally it. Its over
>>1476785The only logical reason for them to pull this is because they have something new to announce. Expecting logic from Bamco isn't always smart though.
>>1476795They better be announce 2 Tales games. one is mothership title for casualsone is Radiant Mythology / Rays like title for hardcore fans
>>1476793>accourding to the rays eos announcement, they will shut down most of their social mediasJust the Rays related ones. It makes sense to close those with Rays itself gone.
destiny remake or port to pc
>>1476740Orwin unfortunately didn't make it into either...
>>1476740Luminaria literally just another trash gacha game with Tales name slapped in it. It doesnt even play or look like tales
>>1476790>Most Fes goers don't even play the console gamesAny evidence to back this up? I see people mention this a lot.
>>1476806Some attendees are just fans of the participating seiyuu, especially those that rarely make public appearances
>>1476806Dohalim/Gaius on the loser bracket, despite Dohalim winning a previous Tales Fes voting poll. is one I can think of.
>>1476823That one still feels strange to me since Leon and Yuri have dominated every part of Tales and beyond, it was never a fujo thing like whatever is going on with Dohalim’s popularity.
Now it's time they make RM4.
RIP I never got to use my diamond hoard.
>>1476861Should have wasted them on the spirits.
Flynn never get another MA and Orwin never ever>>1476861They are going to do gacha which includes all stuff which were released + Asteria stuff but excluding other collabs
>>1476795MOBA and PVE game using Tales of Arise's engine.
>>1476791>Rose's face
>>1476802At this point, Orwain is non canon. Did he even show up in the manga? A remember a scene where Kanata was in jail, and Orwain and Raven with also in the same jail.
>>1476729Yeah but>no new MAs or character from this eventWe were fucking ROBBED
So basically about the offline version, its "you're going to have to unlock and do everything while its online because you wont be able to do jack shit after it goes offline." Weird way of going about it, whatever.
>>1476928He is already in the manga and has been for a while, but his character is also somewhat changed, like the rest of the cast.
>>1476902>nyaa mouth = rose face ???
>>1476806I thought it was pretty obviousSorey and Mikleo's seiyuus are always the koebuta bait and they just happen to be the most loyal of the Talesfes participants outside of Yuri, Luke, and Zelos. Hell, they were reports of Mamoru Miyano landwhales nabbing talesfes tickets just to see said seiyuu (they don't care about the franchise)
>>1476823>>1476806The Tales anniversary poll mysteriously did not have Mikleo in the top 30 despite being the breadwinner of Talesfes so that's another thing about his so called "dedicated fans"
Why did they even create this character?
>>1476969I don't know why either. He might as well be an NPC and it wouldn't change
>>1476969Honestly he’s one of the if not the hottest older guy characters, I feel like he could have taken off if someone actually cared to treat him properly. In my books he looks so much better than Raven and X2 Alvin for example, Orwin carries off facial hair.
>>1476969>'we'll figure it out after our initial roadmap'
>>1476969>Make a cool and hot fistfighting ojisan>Literally does nothing. Literally forgotten What was even the point of creating Orwin?
The mobile characters outside of their own game (except orwin and luminaria lol) always had it rough. I'm just glad Zephyr (Link) got a second MA and a bunch of 5*s. I really like his design
>>1477026Misella 100% deserved better
>>1477026I always hoped he’ll get a Fairy Tail crossover MA, now that dream is a never ever sadly. Accompanied by Shing as Natsu.
>>1476740I believe in one of the Tales streams, the VAs actually got booed at for even represting Luminaria. That's how bad it has gotten to the point of Luminaria becoming the taboo blacklisted child of the Franchise
>>1477046>>1477026JJK would've been perfect. Zephyr as Gojo and with Kana as Nobara
>>1476795i mean the recent Financial Statements from bamco does tease thishttps://www.bandainamco.co.jp/files/ir/financialstatements/pdf/en_20240214_Presentation1.pdf
>>1477047Damn, that's actually very hard and painful to read and imagine. I thought the game sucked ass and had nothing to do with Tales, but I wouldn't take that out on the VAs, they didn't make the game or do anything except read a script into a microphone.
>>1477047wow, that's harsh
>>1477047what even was luminaria about
>>1476714maybe we could get an english release?
Surely they wouldn't just leave Tales with no active medium or content right? Haha...
>>1477315Why would they dump MORE resources into something that they're abandoning?
>>1477315Nope, just hope that modders have enough interest to slap a google translator into the game.
>>1477312Tales meets Fire Emblem Three Houses because "everyone loves Three Houses so we need to mooch off it to make that money, nothing can possibly go wrong". Story involved groups of students from 3 different schools, going around doing junk (i think one of them were looking for a possible traitor/insider). The story barely got a fighting chance to take off so thats all it really managed to do.
>>1477341>3 different schoolsOne group is from a school on a kingdom in which the queen presumably actually one of the villain.The 2nd group is military staff from an empire.The 3rd group is just adventurers from different backgrounds. One member is actually a prince from a kingdom which was destroyed by the empire.
>>1477315you are mad man who want a repeat of opening a English server and closing it happens againpeople don't want a repeat of Love Live SIF2 agian
Its overGuess this will be the last thread huh
>these huge bonuses for all characters How the fuck is Kyle my highest bonus character and not Ix?
>>1477679It's based on theseThe maxed MA of the two main slots adds 140%The 5s maxed In all four slots would add 80Form change and sg
>>1477679My highest is also not Ix but rather Shing and Yuri
>>1477675that hilda is extremely cute
>>1477675>Guess this will be the last thread huhI hadn't thought about it. No more Tales threads... depressing.
>Asteria banner looking super good right nowI’m gonna get Yuris FC even if it kills me. Is the discount multi refreshed daily or just one time?
>>1477788Maybe just wait it out until reset.
>>1477788It seems to be refreshed daily and shares Grade points with the all the other gacha except the one from last event.
A few of the Life bottle productions people on the rays datamine discord server showed last month that they found a huge chunk of the game text files in the game. They're waiting on the offline version before trying anything.
>maxed Dio Mel xMA>maxed Kanata and Mis xMA>1 dupe away from Orie and Nono>not a single Ix eMA dupeThis is how it all ends huh
Dunno if anyones noticed, but you can buy anyones gMA and first 5* from the Turtlez Shop dupe currency trade in. This includes normal FC MA units like Raven and Gaius. You can buy the Recollect casts' 5*.
>>1478202I still haven't get Orie/Nono even once.>>1478232>can't do this for FC Mithos, Ludger, and Asteria ones which I don't haveGuess I still need to get their MA somehow from gacha
>>1478236>can't do this for FC Mithos, Ludger, and Asteria ones which I don't haveAt least the Asteria and Xillia 2 banners have small pools. I think they're supposed to give us an eMA ticket since eMAs were the winners in the Rayfest, maybe its a selector, but dont quote me on that.
>>1478236Also the raid pull tickets have been incredibly generous to me (got Ruca eMA and some origins), so hopefully you have some luck too.
>we never got maskless Alphenhow'd the fuck they get away with that
>>1478249I think they would have done that if they survived up to Arise's 3rd anni. The last Arise event ended with Alphen promising to cure Shionne's thorns in this world after finding out they did it back in theirs. Going through the Rena plot would have made sense to end off Arise.
>>1478249 They never made Schwartz playable despite being an enemy only character for five years
>>1478249We never got an option to have maskless Sync as playable costume
>>1478328Even with him being usable for a time before they put the mask on him this is ridiculous.
what characters got JUSTed the most in terms of content?and what characters had obvious favoritism? besides colette
>>1478405Colette had stuff but it was all garbage. Outside of SAO. Asbel was the favourite. Huberts arte got nerfed when Asbel's Burial Blade, a faster + stronger version of basically the same thing was untouched. He got every type of Mirror quickly and outclasses every other character by a mile with his starting kit. Even without Burial Blade he'd still be better than everybody
>>1478405https://wikiwiki.jp/torays/-s/050d16f5Those at the bottom vs those at the top.
>>1478040lol nothing anyone from life bottle has said about rays has shown any real knowledge. i'm sure if they actually try they could figure out what theyre doing, but theyre just done stupid surface level shit.the scripts are trivial to access
>>1478405Is it cheating to say Orwin. There was no way we got duo Crestoria events then proceeded to just go with Yuna with two other dudes
>>1478405Yuri got the most, but Alphen getting pushed super hard was either favoritism or just Namco ordering them to shill as fast as possible.
>>1478405Rip Johnny.>>1478432The bulk of the matter isn't happening in the Life Bottle Discord server, it's on a different one that was linked somewhere where there are actual programmers working on Rays.I do wish all of Tales didn't feel like it was relegated to nothing but Discord servers nowadays. Feels very fragile, but I also fucking hate Discord so what do I know.
>>1478472Alphen was only missing a collab but he basically got everything done to catch up with the other MCs
Tales needs remakes with new current game engines, not shitty ports if they don't want to release new game yet.
>>1478575I think it is not the good time to do that right now, I wanted another Tales of game in the same style as rays but for consoles with live service bullshit.
>>1478575The best one for that would have been symphonia but they've absolutely blown it.I think an Abyss remake could do pretty well but from what I recall abyss ps2 didn't sell too well in the first place and got its lunch stolen by persona and FF
>>1478483unless we're thinking about different servers, no one doing anything useful is from life bottle, and all the shit life bottle members brought up in there was either worthless or already known
>>1476734Does that mean we can't switch artes and MA loadouts once it hits offline??
>>1478701You'll still have access to the party menu, just not the strengthening menu.
>>1478713Oh. Well, I guess that's okay.All these new MAs I'm getting are really putting a drain on my rainbow orb things.
>>1478405Most favored villain is definitely Mithos and it's not even close
>>1478581Tales needs one Gacha to keep the fanbase alive. As for now Tales remains dead
God im gambling with so many banners that its not even funny. Why couldnt they give us 200 dia a day instead>Vespy guys banner for Yuri's zero arte>Vespy girls for Ristelle xMA that avoided me like the plague in its debut>Recollect gang to get blonde final boss girl>Asteria to get Yuri FC and the others>my impossible goal is to try and completely max out Ix before shut downSend help and diamonds
>>1478726Mithos is so ugly looking and sounding. Why do they keep shilling him
>>1478801To be fair, Dhaos almost has the same as him, just that he never got an xMA. Which is dumb, because a cool theme they had going with "hero x villain" xMAs but they just only delivered on it at random times. Maybe those crazy asians just love blonde evil guys.
Never picked up Rays, but once the game become offline mode only, You cant get new character and weapons anymore ??
>>1478822Nope. No more gacha, Turtlez shop is closed, and no more being able to enhance weapons or level up characters. Any cutscene content that you didnt finish will not be accessible, so even the story, events and Recollect gallery have to be fully done before EoS.So if you want to have a mostly complete Tales battle sim on your device, now is the time to start unlocking and completing everything.
>>1478826.......Whats the fucking point ??Is the gacha still there or can i pull character i want without the gacha now ?
>>1478827Nope, nothing, no gacha, no unlocks. Thats why the next 2 months is dedicated to letting players exchange and pull for everything while also giving out resources to upgrade. Basically a save file for long-time players to still be able to use and play around with their stuff after 7 years.Is it better than just letting all these assets disappear into the nether like every other gacha? YeahIs it better to just making a game out of it and selling it for 40 bucks? Hell no. But you win some, you lose some.
>>1478829>Is it better to just making a game out of it and selling it for 40 bucks?I rather want this. Whale will buy it anyway. Again, bamco is retarded with this
>>1478833Oh sorry, i meant to say that it would've been better to sell a game off these assets than this weird offline version.
>>1478835>offline versionIf its the former its not a true offline version in the end. Im betting you need some kind of login to access your content
Offline version is a lie.The game will be semi EOS in July, and will be fully EOS in October. They not gonna convert this game to offline mode. Fuck Bamco
>>1478833It's probably too much work for them to make a console version. They'd have to completely redo how you progress through the game and change the UI to work with a controller instead of touchscreen.
>>1478839Its pretty simple, its just Bamco too fucking lazy to do it. If Capcom can do with with Megaman, they should be able to do so.
>>1478837It's not a lie, it's people who can't read going full retard and just assuming how shit works just because it says "offline version."
>>1478843It doesnt matter, the game will be 100% dead in october and there are no other way to preserve the game because bamco is too fucking lazy to convert the game into proper offline version
>>1478837>can't use offline version anymore once my phone dead in the futureScamco
>>1478837Aren't most offline mobage like this? Not X Dive, that's an exception, but most mobage that leave an offline version are usually just archives.
>>1478866Yes. There is precedent with Bamco making Reve Unitia out of Tactics Union, but that was back when Tales was very actively developed on all fronts.
>>1478837They didn't lie, technically. It is offline. Just not like how most would assume it be. I don't like it either but that's most offline versions of gacha are like. Best you can hope is some giga autists make an private server version like what happened with Dragalia lost
How do you unlock Mieu and Bienfu as lobby NPCs? Is it even possible to get those vouchers anymore?
>>1478405Despite my boy Kyle is always on the unpopular side of the MCs, the game really gave really him powerful artes and MAs than what Stahn got
>>1478908I’m said shirtless Kyle never ever in this game, same with Luca too. Feels imcomplete that Jude, Shing and Caius got those alts but not them too.
>>1478908Kyle is really busted in Rays. I'd argue he's one of the strongest characters in the game.
Heres a neat trick in case you werent around for the original run of the Shizel fight event.You do need Reid with his dMA equipped to do it. You'll let the boss Shizel use her MA while Reid has enough meter, and you'll see that Reid's MA turns into the green support MA signal, using it in the middle of her animation causes a special counter MA animation to play.
>>1478892Old paid banner. Not possible anymore.
>>1478611Could be. LB made that one channel for Rays in one of their servers, but nothing is happening on it. Everyone who can get things done moved to the other new Rays server.>>1478870We are in luck because it looks like there are already such autists.
>>1479093You're definitely talking about the private server server aren't you. Yeah no no one who actually knows how Unity or Android games work is associated with Life Bottle.
>carnival time supposed to help with getting characters done>multi clear is not allowed>just multiplying trust to be 200 every spin, which would take 100 clears just to get from level 7 to 8 trust with any character>theres a mediocre chance at getting basic low tier presents from enemy dropsThey really fucked my shit up with this. At least make red presents drop, ATLEAST
>>1478726This
Mithos is okay but I really hate his voice. Even JP Alice sounds more acceptable
>>1479755In JP, his calm voice is fine. It's when he starts screaming that it hurts my ears.Dub Mithos was fine for me no matter what though.
>>1479464The should have removed the cap off of the daily enhance fight, same for the SG shards quests. They boosted the drops but you're still stuck on the dumb limited plays.They also made refilling your Recollection stamina free, but not regular AP, very dumb.
>>1478405>No content since debut>On the Vesperia summer event last year but no summer costume showing her beautiful droites>No b5 dump like other characters were getting in the same year>No fucking xma with GaucheI shouldn't expect the world for villains getting content but it still hurt. Villain xma banners were kino i thought it'd be a shoe in for them to get it
>>1480500If anything they shouldv debuted with an xMA right away. I know Vesp got enough content, but i would've liked them to do some more (the Hunting Blade sadly never got a chance), and the Aifred event got screwed over.
>>1479464The carnival ticket exchange has been updated to include 40x small gift, 40 medium exp ores, and 4.5 million gald. Spamming the 10 AP stage is best for carnival exchange.
>>1480566Oh shit, thanks anon.
Damn i would've killed for a One Piece collab. Dist as Franky alone would have saved this game because i would have singlehandedly funded the game.
>>1478405>Nobody said MikleoCome on, that ain't the content for someone who's been the number one most popular Tales character for years. Even Lailah got more stuff than him
>>1479244They already have a fuckton of projects, pretty sure they prefer other people take the lead. Sometime peoppe forget LB is open source and not a fixed entity.
>>1481242yeah but there's no reason to say "life bottle" is doing it. their association with the projects under them is already loose, but this is looser than average
https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1795349362656333971
>>1478405MuzetFor the only mage character in X2. She is severely very bad. Mel was salvaged by her r5. Muzet has no good artes
Is Alphen's eMA the only full field one among the eMAs?
>>1481660I mean Ix eMA 2 is not-Blue Earth and hits everything. I'd also put Reid there since im always using it. Some of them look like they have wide enough hit boxes, like Dhaos, Asbel, Caius, Mileena and Cress. But its sorta hard to tell which ones are completely full screen without testing it yourself.
They revealed the art for the Tales Fest this year. Hopefully good news....?
>>1481789can't tell whether that's supposed to be leon or rutee talking with ludger
>>1481903I thought it's a new Tales character. It's clear who it's from the earring
>>1481903Ufotable's Rutee oddly looks more masculine than Leon in the same style.
>>1481903Its Leon, to no ones surprise
Speaking about the koebuta bait, I don't think Luke's VA fits that description. His VA barely gets work anymore so it's most likely just because he has nothing else to do
>>1482079I can't remember any anime that has his VA either. Meanwhile, the other mainstay Tales VAs still have ongoing work for voice acting.
>>1481789Tales fest is just a seiyuu event.You wont get any news in here. Also this is the last Tales fest ever
>>1482094Arise was announced at ToFes, sort of. It wasn't named at the time, just as a generic mainline series title.
>>1481789People say Arise gets removed out quickly but the Berseria cast has been cucked for more than 5yrs despite being the overall better title than Zestiria
>>1482106No, Arise was announced on E3 (the last ever E3)
>>1482108Arise was named at E3 2019. It was announced at ToFes 2018 (again, without its name, just a generic mainline title)
>>1482107Berseria still getting shafted for Zestiria will never not make me mad. If Velvet was a dude, she would've been way more popular than Mikleo
>>1482107?? Velvet and Eizen is always on Tales Fes
I've been watching a certain cooking anime and since the anime designs were by TOSH. I checked his twitter if he even acknowledged Luminaria since he designed them. (He did not).
>>1482121>Luminaria was such a flop it got stalin'd out of existence
>>1482121Now that I think about it. The Luminaria girls don't even have porn
>>1482121If Luminaria had someone like Souma, I would've played it.
>>1482171If Luminaria actually played like a Tales game, I would’ve played it.
>>1482121There were a lot of Shokugeki clones in Luminaria. Although in that sense, Tosh didn't even try either.
>>1478236>last day of xMA free roll>still no Orie/Nono one
>>1482582>got it from Asteria banner since I'm still trying to get Lloyd FCRigged.
>>1482582>never got a single Ix dupe>maxed out everyone elseBro i just wanted one fucking dupe at least, no way the rates were split equally...
Anyone here that keeps up with the story or translates stuff, what was the deal with most of the villain characters that were copied over to the Rays world?Going thru skill quests today, and i saw Alexei was just chatting it up with Raven like normal. I know that Shizel turned back into Meredy's mother, and ones like Mithos, Barb, etc had joined in with the Philip/Marcus side of the story. So i was curious to see which villains "mellowed" out compared to the ones that still stuck with their evil obsession.
>doing the spirit shard quest now that they're boosted>focusing on Asbel>get 22 shards for Richard>2 for Asbel>twoSounds right.
How to link my rays account ? i try this game and i got my favorite character but i didnt link my game yet

So, what now ? Is there a new thread or this is it ?
>>1483254Just one more thread and we're done.
>>1483256Good. Finally I can be free
>>1482796>tfw I maxed out the eMA with only free rolls
The monthly tower exchange has an eMA and xMA ticket, as well as 50 pull tickets in the last tab.
Anyone wants to post their Raysfes ticket hauls?I got sMA: Orchestra TilkiseMA: KyleoMA: ZelosxMA: Double MilladMA: LukesgMA: Marta
>>1483839All I remember were eMA Reid and oMA Anise. Rest were probably dupes that I already forgot.
>>1483839I had gotten so many tickets from everything else before using the,, so i dont remember what the Rayfest gave me specifically.I landed on Alphens eMA which was great, but the other ema tix were dupesxMA wise, i got Tytree and Mao, and a dupe of Artorius and whatever the huge guys name is.sgMA was CaiussMA got me Christmas ZavidDont remember the other tickets, it was the middle of the night.
>>1483839eMA: Kyle dupe (why couldn't they give a selector instead)dMA: MithosxMA: KongwaiEverything else are forgettable dupes.
No news from Talesfes yet?
>>14846821st day is complete with no news. Apparently Tomizawa will appear tomorrow, so we might get a useless statement that they're working hard on the next Tales then.
>>1478405RichardYou know I'm right
>>1484709Dozega when ??
>>1484716The producers had a grudge against poor old Dick for trying to steal Asbel away from them.
