>>4005324post loli games
>>4005491sick 3rd world fuck. get cancer.
>>4005495Go back to twitter
>>4005324I 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
4K Res of TalesFES2026. Its JPG though
LBP did it again. Phantasia Full Voice Edition patch with all the QoL from Cross backported.https://www.lifebottle.org/projects/topfve/patcher/
>>4008327And Lumina still not done with D2 as Life Bottle keep pumping out projects.
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.
>>4008371Life 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.
>>4008887Hope 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.
>>4007298You'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.
>>4010097Xillia has little content and recycled corridor maps over and over, so that's already different from most games before.
>>4010094I 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.
>>4010094Yeah the games lost alot of charm and identity that way. Abyss and versperia had a cool overworld you could stumble upon neat shit
>>4007327Wet Laphi in shorts mmmmrrghhh.
Theres nothing announced at TalesFES. Dont hold your breath
>>4005324In another universe Tales series is massively successful series that every fanbase (degenerate or casuals) like
Sex with Elize.And Sophie.And Patty.
Expedition 33's director.
>>4011762He also really likes KH2
https://asobistage.asobistore.jp/event/to_tof_2026/deliveryI was wondering if you can download high quality PNGs if you pay 200 yen to character you like. I want Velvet so bad.
>>4010097>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 PhantasiaThe 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 headEnemies abusing tech outs is nothing new in the series by that point. Kurt and the Boar in Graces were notorious for that.
>>4013387It 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 gametry several other games and the same goes for the visual clutter when too many high end spells go off at the same time too.
>>4013671So 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)?
>>4014590If 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?

>>4015576Persona is way more alive than Tales.
>>4011619calm down velvet
>>4015848Impossbiile. I think that game made me a shotacon.I now wish to be a girl just to have laphi impregnate me and fuck me senseless.
>>4015850if I had an image of Velvet dressed as a doctor i'd have uploaded it
>>4015857Man laphi porn is so few there are just 4 etero, 3 yaoi, 2 images set. I need more laphi.
>>4015862Oh and one ai slop that is incredibly sexy.
>>4015865I forgot AI existed
I just started Berseria played for an hour and was kind of shocked at how bad the story is. I know Tales has that reputation and I was prepared for slop but it's even worse than I expected. Hopefully it gets better.
>>4015911>an hour in>dislike storyIt literally just started
>>4015915Yea the thing about Tales is they usually have a strong opening and then get more and more shitty as the game goes on. So I'm thinking if we're already at full cringe in the first hour then I'm really worried
>>4015916Just keep playing the game anon
>>4015916>average Final Fantasy fango back, tourist
>>4015919I finished Tales of Symphonia before you were even born
>>4015908Yeah but i don't like it.
>>4015920Cope
>>4015920Tales of Symphonia wasn't available released in 1990, tourist.
>>4012369Here's an actual complaint, the AI is completely and utterly broken when linked which is a serious problem for casters.
llyod irving, come forth
>>4015908>>4015926AI won
>>4015945What do you use for animation?
>>4015911It gets worse as you get further and further into the game
I don't know how Phantasia X managed to do it, but they turned the flying Ishrantu fight from piss easy to rng cancer depending on how much he decides to spam that fireball with the lingering hotbox.
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?
>>4016072what part are you at?
>>4016072Vesperia is a meme, it has the worst story in the series besides Tempest, Dawn of the New World, Zestiria and Arise.
>>4016072Team Destiny and Team Symphonia merged together and the cconsequences of that can be seen on the last 3 games
>>4016084We 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.
>>4016299they're all watching the speech
>>4016156Sadly how we got the worst of two worlds instead of the best. I miss Team Symphonia content and Team Destiny battle systems.
>get to tethealla>get boredLol 2nd time this happened. I guess Arise and possible future games is all I like about Tales
>>4016736I wish the second world in Arise didn't suck so much. Same for Graces, Hearts and the Xillias.Eternia and Symphonia are the only games that nailed it.
>>4016811Graces and Hearts don't bother me because they're supposed to be dead worlds.
Garbage sidequest. Its just 5 copies of the same shitty enemy and the last one can easily no diff Suzu's weak ass.
>>4016813Yeah but so was Rena.
>>4017216Rena 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.
>>4017305Still a dead world and only the last dungeon.
Happy Deathniversary Crestoria !
>>4018855I spent a ton of money to have an entire team of velvet
>>4017545Yeah exactly, instead of a second half of the game, you get the worst dungeon in the game. It's a huge letdown.
>SAO echoes of eligtards censoredNew Tales gonna be shit.....
AR.....TOOOOOR....IOUUUSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
>>4011743after me
>>4019825I didn't realise how stupid her hat looks from this angle
Will we ever get a Tales game with a party that isn't just redditors?It feels like the plot of every Tales game is just Reddit vs 4chan and you're forced to play as the redditors every time
>>4020058Velvet is a 4chan schizo censored by age rating but magilou is 300% reddit
>>4020058cool it with the anti-japanese remarks
Any news about that 60 FPS Mod that LBP were supposedly going to make for the PC port of Tales of Symphonia?
>>4020058Jade is peak /sci/
>>4020058what game has the most 4chan cast? rebirth?
why is hearts so unpopular? i never see anything from it rank high in polls (other than creed in the villains poll from rays funnily enough)
>>4020112too white to be on /sci/
>>4021536Handhelds in general just aren't as popular as console games.
>>4021536I'm autistic so I wanna play the original Hearts before the Vita remake, and Hearts DS is *still* not fucking translated so...
>>4021535
I've been playing ToA and I feel like whatever is going on between Jade and Peony is horrifically inappropriate
>>4022112Peony is a gyaruo that didn't want to rule and was forced to due to the war and the Score. He misses his childhood in Keterburg and the boys, and is probably still in love with Jade's sister. He masks it all with his devil-may-care attitude.
>>4021708Makes sense that Reddit and Era dislike this game
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 chatahoochieImagine 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.
>>4022453Meds
Is tear really this big?from @wak_achihttps://x.com/wak_achi/status/2079499120881045655
>>4022692No she's not.
>>4022716this she's even bigger

>>4020079>Any news about that 60 FPS Mod that LBP were supposedly going to make for the PC port of Tales of Symphonia?I guess that's a no.I found out there was some sort of private beta testing though, so I assume it's still being developed.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfBLrIqvpBk
>>4007327It took me a while to realize that's Keele between Farah and Caius.
Is Berseria the first JRPG in history specifically meant for foids?
>>4023297>Women were just schizos the entire time
>>4023298I'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
>>4023297It's a shotacon power fantasy.What do you think?
>>4023297>>4023298>>4023300>>4023313>>4023470Perfectly explains why Berseria is a dogshit game for retards
I miss the posters counter
>>4023972Did they ever give an official reason for its removal? I mean we all know the real reason why but did they even try coming up with a decent excuse?
>>4024014>needing to ask
>>4022692
>>4024217It's not off-model, the character designer and artist are the ones who went off-model
Somebody made an AI patch for Destiny 2https://retrogametalk.com/threads/tales-of-destiny-2-ps2-ai-translation.26456/
>>4025741OH NO NO NO NO LUMINA BROS WE'RE TOO LATE
>>4025741kek
Somebody posted the patch on the Tales subreddit and the lumina tales member that's a mod decided to delete it. Can't make that shit up.
is wanting to tongue every inch of yuri lowell's armpits a good reason to play tales of vespiria
>>4025741>>4025843>>4026282>>4026391>So I created this frankenpatch of Translation using the unfinished Lifebottle project and Cless's project, and a local AI model running on my PC, so quality is probably bad.>As I'm not a translator, programmer, or game hacker, I cannot guarantee this works 100% or if complete playthrough using this patch is possible. I tested it quickly in PCSX2 2.6.3 on PC but didn't dive too deep, so there might be surprises; users beware!!
>>4026492I started berseria because i felt in love with laphi and i wanted to do with him all kind of stuff so... follow your dick (and at least you will not be disappointed as me with berseria).
>>4026492Men are objectively better in Tales than w*men so yes
TAAAAALES
>>4027032No one knows anything about the new game, they haven't said anything at all except that they're working on it.The only thing we can say is that several job recruitment ads for Tales were posted shortly after Arise, and one of them was for a battle designer. I don't remember what the other ones were.
This might be the worst tales thread we've had in years. I was gone for a full month and there hasn't been a single good post
>>4027811Be grateful theres a tales thread. This series is legitfully dead
/v is that way you can both fuck off and don't let the door hit your bum.
>>4027811There's only so many times I can find new stuff out about Abyss and post about it like >>3777350 or >>3968767 or >>3976140
>>4027811It’s a mix of A - nothing happening and the series being deadB - the result of A being that only the schizos stat around consistently, which drives away othersAnd C - 99% of conversations being repeats at this point, because of A and B
>>4027816At least we're finally getting the Eternia remaster and fan translations are going well. Bamco might not deliver, but there's still something.
>>4022453Based and alan jackson pilled
>>4027811Lol you're not kidding . People glazing the absolute shittiest entries in the series. I miss when Symphonia was babies first tales and not fucking berseria and arise
>>4026518lol nice. Good on him for making it.The best way to get someone to come along and do a better job is to do a shitty job.
For me, it's Magilou.
said literally noone ever
Well Innocence R was alright could be better.Is the encounter rate high? Because I think I got into too many battles without even trying to grind and holy bottles felt like they did nothing.
Bazongas
W I F E
>>4029958I don't know about r but in the original innocence way too enemies had over inflated health or defense and battles took forever
>>4033039>enemies had over inflated health or defense and battles took foreverHuhwell whenever I get to that hard difficulty is gonna be something
why are tales steam achievements specifically designed to torture youdo they hate their own players?
>>4034241No just you
>>4034242Do you want to have gay sex now? It would be sub-ver-sive-ly DELISH
>>4034298You had your chance 2 hours agoit's too lateI've moved on
>>4033039>>4033628Innocence DS heavily encourages you to pay attention to styles for arte growth and tech stuff. It was also the era where the difference between Easy/Normal/Hard were huge too, so you had to pay attention to whatever meme mechanics they had.
hate this little nigga like you wouldn't believe
>>4034410He gets better after the prologue, but also more annoying in other ways.
>>4034410its honestly funny that asbel is stuck in A/B artes and everyone else is just do whatever
Lame-ina Tales RELEASE THE DESTINY 2 TRANSLATION ALREADY AAAAAAAAAHHHHGGHHH
>>4034241Fuck you wear the bunny suit for 5 hoursWhore
>>4035064Vesperia?
>>4025741Cool. Better than nothing at all/radio silence for several years.>>4026391>Somebody posted the patch on the Tales subreddit and the lumina tales member that's a mod decided to delete it. Can't make that shit up.Yikes.
>>4005324>Play TalesNo.
>>4036756See >>4026518
Edna is a chainsmoker
>>4029958Both R games have a problem of encounter rates being way too high
Abyss bros we can't stop winning (except when it comes to a fucking HD remaster).
>>4033039>>4034380Don't try to do physical attacks with the Technical or Wisdom Style. They cuts down your attack stat by like half but since the enemy defense stat causes additive damage reduction afterwards in practice you can't damage shit with them.
>>4044089Do you expect news about a remaster?How silly! Here is the tv show nobody asked for.Jesus it's another pikmin 4.
>>4008327I'll stick with the PS1 version.
>>4044154Why would you expect news about a video game remaster from a US anime publisher?
>>4044274In general, not from that specific publisher. The home base decide.
>>4044150You 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.
News of eternia remaster?
