I play tales but nothing after Graces. The series really lost its way. It has a tried and trusted formula they need to stop deviating by chasing trends like roll slop

The Twin Brave demo is fully translated here's the link they shared to patch the game https://www.lifebottle.org/projects/tbinnordemo/patcher/

You only need the Japanese Twin Brave game to patch. There's about 20 minutes of gameplay in the demo.

>>4008371
Life Bottle would've been done with D2 by now on top of all the other projects they've got going. I bet we'll get an official remaster of Destiny DC and Destiny 2 before we ever get the fan translation.

>>4008887
Hope so, Lumina deserves the misery

I get why it happened, but I hate how from Graces onwards the series just became a series of hallways and true map exploration was dead. It makes the world feel smaller in the same way FFX did.

>>4007298
You'd probably like Xillia then because the biggest criticism of the game at the time in japan was that it was this big anniversary game and all they did to celebrate that was a by-the-numbers Tales Of game no different from how the series had been for 20 years that experimented nothing and tried nothing new. Xillia 2 if nothing else, tried something different in terms of story.

>>4010097
Xillia has little content and recycled corridor maps over and over, so that's already different from most games before.

>>4010094
I like how Graces did it because like FF it also had secret areas to click/find on the map (Oswell's Vault, the Resort, Turtlez village, Lambda's robot body, etc). Xillia~Zestiria were awful. Berseria was ugly although there were some extra places too.

>>4010094
Yeah the games lost alot of charm and identity that way. Abyss and versperia had a cool overworld you could stumble upon neat shit

>No overworld, instead we get corridors and harbors everywhere
>Multiplayer gimped with the link system.
>High level spells are such a clusterfuck that visual clarity suffers which makes multiplayer even worse
>Bosses can suddenly decide to get out of combos by having an ! above their had, which becomes hard to see because of the point above
>Can't have multiple strategy presets for different situations like virtually every other Tales game, even fucking Phantasia
The Xillia games are a mess and clearly showed how much of a hack Baba is. Mostly by being the start of the downfall of co-op and not being able to produce a decent amount of environments.

Japs really love their yearly Tales festival huh

Started playing cross because people were saying that was the best version of phantasia. Loving it so far and mint is very cute. I used to rag on this series for being slop after briefly playing a bit of xillia 2 and graces f on ps3 but i kinda see why people like it now

>>4012369
>Bosses can suddenly decide to get out of combos by having an ! above their head
Enemies abusing tech outs is nothing new in the series by that point. Kurt and the Boar in Graces were notorious for that.

>>4013387
It being in one other game too doesn't make it any better or worse. Tbf, it makes it so you can't just endlessly combo bossses. The main problem imo is it being present in the visual clusterfuck that is Xillia.

>>4013671
>one other game
try several other games and the same goes for the visual clutter when too many high end spells go off at the same time too.

>>4013671
So it's not a problem only in Xillia. It's hardly a problem anyway, besides Skill issue.

>>4008327
>Phantasia Full Voice Edition patch with all the QoL from Cross backported.
I mean, I guess that's cool, but was there a point in playing the FVE over X besides the lack of Rondoline (a character some might understandably not like)?

>>4014590
If they want to experience the closest thing to the PS1 version with voicedls. I ended up loving the battle system of PS1 Phantasia, so I kinda prefer it over X.

Is it just me or do a lot of Cless's artes feel iffy in Phantasia X?

Alright I'm now 7 hours in and this is the biggest pile of shit I have ever played. I'm actually stunned at how bad it is. How did we fall from the mighty heights of Eternia, Symphonia, Abyss, and Vesperia to this?

>>4016072
what part are you at?

>>4016072
Vesperia is a meme, it has the worst story in the series besides Tempest, Dawn of the New World, Zestiria and Arise.

>>4016072
Team Destiny and Team Symphonia merged together and the cconsequences of that can be seen on the last 3 games

>>4016084
We just watched Artorious give his speech and be called "Shephered" and Velvet have a melty and start screaming and climbing up a tower in the middle of the city with her giant demon hand which no one saw somehow.

>>4016156

Yeah but so was Rena.

>>4017216
Rena is built up as your oppressor (which carries an implication of superiority) from the first second of the game. It's not supposed to be a dead world, it's revealed to be one in a twist. Neither Fodra nor Quartia are treated like this, their existence is revealed simultaneously with the fact that they're dead worlds. There's no time for you to expect a thriving civilization when you reach them.
There's also the much bigger issue in that Rena brings with it a shift in pacing and presentation, drowning you in expository text.

>>4017305
Still a dead world and only the last dungeon.

Happy Deathniversary Crestoria !

>>4018855
I spent a ton of money to have an entire team of velvet

Why is Velvet like some kind of reddit californian?
Shouldn't she be a hick with a massive country accent? She literally grew up in the woods and likes to hunt. She probably listens to country music and shoots guns. Way down yonder on da chatahoochie
Imagine how much better the game would've been had they properly casted Velvet to have a country accent so thick it was incomprehensible to 90% of people. All of her dialogue would have instantly been improved 10x.

Is Berseria the first JRPG in history specifically meant for foids?

>>4023297
>Women were just schizos the entire time

>>4023298
I'm meaning it literally, the entire game is very feminist coded. I do what I want, our feelings are all that matter, a literal devouring mother archetype smothering the brother-son in the void for all eternity, killing the patriarch with his own sword of reason. It clearly has women in mind as its primary audience. I'm asking seriously because I can't think of any other JRPG that was specifically written for a female audience.

>>4023300
>It's feminist because it mocks reddit scientoids

hell even Velvet's character design itself is very feminist, combining the empowered slut-walk outfit with the giant ugly demon-hand body insecurity/dysmorphia. I think the ironic thing here is gamergate chuds were celebrating the outfit when it first released because they thought it was anti-woke and then the entire game is this ceaseless unfolding of feminist tropes lol

>>4044150
You basically just send people through Advance/Wisdom/Guardian to unlock Innocent. After getting Mystic Artes unlocked, you mostly just camp in Advance/Guardian or Wisdom/Guardian depending on your role, and dip into Innocent whenever you want to grind up skills.
For example, Advance takes 250 uses to max out Demon Fang but Innocent only needs 125. Similarly, Wisdom needs ~84 uses for First Aid while Innocent needs 42. Very useful since Luca has some hefty requirements for his moveset.

You get as much out of it as you put in
You can easily get through the games by mashing repetitive braindead combos but there's advanced tech you can play with to spice things up. Bosses are almost never interesting though, all the depth is on the player's end.

>>4058392
You can't say "Tales combat" because there's like 25 different tales combats out there, and they're all pretty different from each other
I know you're just making a bait post, but it's not a very good one

>>4059103
>25 different tales combats out there
There is pre grace and post grace. That's it. Or if you want 2d vs 3d.

>>4058642
That's the point. The effort is basically not worth.
I am doing a boss and say "ok i am gonna match all his weakness" my combo is ultra slow and he easily interrupts it every time, no cc grow, perma staggered, frustrating as fuck.
Second time i say "fuck it i'll just smash it" win without damage.
I mean... no? No fucking game in the world works like that? I am not playing a sandbox and "making my own fun" there should be a reason why i put effort.

Random encounters are practice, bosses are execution. Spend more time paying attention to what's going on in the game and react accordingly.
Furthermore, in games like Graces and Xillia 2, while weaknesses are useful and they do encourage you to apply them, ypu should still prioritize combos that you're good at and can safely execute while incorporating that weakness. There's no point in trying to fit in all 5 weaknesses for example if you just can't blend them in yourself. Let the other party members chip in or something.

If its Graces, put in an effort to raise all of your stats, not just Attack. They're all important, especially Acc/Eva.

>>4058642
>Bosses are almost never interesting though, all the depth is on the player's end.
That's nonsense. The randoms are generally the boring ones since most of them dont live long enough for you to do anything or its a game with a poorly scaled hard mode where randoms are worse than bosses because you empty your entire TP pool in like two fights.

>>4059213
>Random encounters are practice
No, because they can be won using any combo or strategy and they usually go for 3 seconds so no, you can't do anything during a random that you would do on a boss.
>ypu should still prioritize combos that you're good at and can safely execute while incorporating that weakness.
It's not a "choice" you have 1 or 2 attacks that have that specific weakness, i do that or i don't use the mechanic.
>There's no point in trying to fit in all 5 weaknesses for example if you just can't blend them in yourself
Usually it's impossible i think by design boss often have shit you don't have. In any case, i have no control over what the others in group do and no, if i try to off all the non weakness attacks the IA breaks and they become useless. That happened to me to litterally every tales post graces (graces included).
>If its Graces, put in an effort to raise all of your stats, not just Attack
Unless you are talking about leaves, i have no control over it the titles unlock so slowly that basically i can lvl5 them easily one after another.

>>4059215
Anon, there are four characters in the party. The likelihood of no one being able to hit any weaknesses on a particular boss is very small. Don't forget that red charge (the color auras that come up while guarding) can be used to help your artes connect.
Also, are you using the equipment upgrade systems baked in the game? Dualizing can be used to increase accuracy or add extra elements to your attacks for example. Randoms are also generally seen as practice since you use them to get used to your new artes or see if your team compostion/strategy is working before the game puts you through the wringer with the bosses.

It’s a pretty old poll from back when Vesperia was the new hot stuff. I can only imagine how much more popular Abyss will get once a modern version comes out.

>>4060445
I imagine it'll kinda pass people by like all the other recent rereleases have - I wouldn't expect much impact at all, just like how Graces was pretty much ignored by the larger rpg community (let alone Berseria's completely unnecessary remaster)
Frankly the series is dead unless they make an actual new game. They need to stop doing these useless things already.

Modern audiences are also kinda pusies too. I can see the more abrasive cast in Abyss rubbing of the wrong way with a lot of them - even moreso than they already do with people who've played in already.

>>4054682
T/S > C.Cores/Chambers for a blind player
Both are bad, but Capacity Cores doesn't limit you in the long term, especially in consecutive playthroughs. Ex Skills are miserable forever. Cope.

>I can see the more abrasive cast in Abyss rubbing of the wrong way with a lot of them - even moreso than they already do with people who've played in already.
Is it as bad as Persona 3? Because that's about as much interpersonal conflict I can handle in an RPG party without ragequitting.

>>4060711
in Abyss people outright hide information from each other until its too late.

Not to mention Luke gets tricked into blowing up a town and the party blames him like he was a willing participant.

>>4060718
He was. Don't be a whiny little bitch and do things by yourself if you don't know what the consequences will be.

I love how all cheria's ribbons have veiled insults to asbel in their description.

>>4060711

This guy's >>4060718 a schizo unfortunately, don't read his posts. It's hard to have a real conversation involving abyss without him inserting himself awkwardly into it here, and he's here all the fucking time, so I'd honestly suggest looking elsewhere for information about the game if you're curious.

Is lineages and legacies worth? I am kinda of burnout from this game i would engage it only if it's really short and really value.

It's like 10 hours long. It introduces a new battle mechanic and lets Richard into the party. It's pretty generally agreed to be the peak of the game.

Does the lineages stuff add to ng+ grade when i clear it?

How did Sakuraba manage to get a 30 year gig making music for Tales despite having never produced a single memorable track? Is he the son of the Namco president or something?

>>4064576
They were already in the Wii version.

>>4064720
Yeah. You can't 100% the game without it (same goes with Zhonecage) and there are many quests + some new artes exclusively acquired from L&L.

Game goes for Main game > L&L > Main game postgame (Zhonecage). Yeah, it's weird since Zhonecage was in the Wii version, so L&L was basically slapped in between them and you lose Richard in the postgame because he's back to being "evil" since the "postgame" Zhonecage was just there as after-credits bonus dungeon content.

>>4064720
>>4064749
Funnily enough, you can start L&L again at any point during the Zhonecage postgame. And it restarts L&L entirely, so all skits, quests, treasure chests, etc are also reset and available as well. Effectively, you can replay L&L infinitely.

Doesn't really sound good in this era and in this industry.

>>4065004
but the berseria and xilia remaster didn't had any problem

>>4065005
Dunno about that, did somebody do a 1:1 comparison? I didn't care about neither games but i know they censored shit on xillia. Where there is smoke usually there is fire.

>>4065007
what did they censor in xillia?

>>4065016
The comic prop moustache+pipe. Because muh smoking i guess. But, again, as i said, if they did it for one thing they could have done it for more. I don't think teepo is tolerable in today's years, also i want to see how they are gonna wrangle muzet in 2, eventually.

CERO is far more obnoxious in 2025 compared to 2013ish. Sakurai was complaining about them turning all of the female models upside down for panty shots. You can see similar stuff in the anime industry when they had to go out of their way to hide Jotaro's smoking.
This is also likely why just the one scene in Berseria got touched.

>>4065054
which scene?

>>4065056

You don't need to grind monsters for them for their compendium entries since all of them can be found in chests.

Unless you mean the Zhonecage dualizing mats, then those are gotten from those "blue gauge tubes" by rolling RNG spawns for the chest rewards where you can blitz through each floor and avoid battles at max difficulty, then set the difficulty to the easiest right before taking on the boss of the floor.

>>4065433
>Zhonecage dualizing mats
Yeah those i meant.

>>4065437
They're easy enough to grab, maybe doing a few repeat trips per corresponding floor..
They're a bigger pain if you're trying to make them in NG+ via slotting them in the dualizing pot thing. Horrendously low RNG even with the tomes and recipes boosting item creation rates.

Not a dissing but is there a non-mmo jrpg that goes autistically as tales with equip optimization? Between the crystals of graces, the equip galore of berseria and zestiria and other horrors. I am really curious i played a lot of jrpg but i can't think of something more autistic.
