>Dude if you didn't like Abyss combat, try Vesperia, it's much better!Is this some kind of joke? It's literally the same shit, except more slow, and less responsive.Is this specifically a demaster thing, or was it like that in the original too?Whatever the case, it's a clear downgrade.
You are drip fed artes and skills the first 15-20 hours but the combat is fun and this game in particular each party member feels quite unique to control
Vesperia’s combat is complete ass and horribly balanced. The devs were so scared of you actually comboing enemies that they completely butchered the combo system. Most moves take so long to recover that even if you hit an enemy, they can recover quicker than you do and punish you before you recover. Then you figure out about manual cancel and then suddenly the game plays like 10x better, but it’s so clearly unintentional that I don’t know if I can say the game sucks or not. (I think the battle manual in the definitive edition sort of vaguely mentions it in a tucked away spot, but that’s it)
>>4057902I got baited toothey pretend the combat is deep and fun like a character action game but it gets mogged by even senran kagura
>>4057902Tales of has always been a filler jrpg series in the worst kind of way. There's a reason these games were spammed out with yearly releases in the 2000s.
>>4057902Tales combat is one that escalates in its speed and complexity at a fairly slow pace.
>>4057902Yuri's not quite as fun to play as in combat as guy is, but he's still pretty fun. Judith's really fun too but takes more effort.
>>4058042I played vespy with an autobattle only challenge to get around this. It was fun
>>4057902Every game in this series starts with you barely able to combo anything and slow. That's just the nature of the series, even Graces barely gives you any tools at the start.
>>4057902it's substantially faster, more involved, more responsive, more expressive, and less trivial than abyssweak post anon.The only people who I could believe would say what you said right here are those that got filtered by the first Zagi fight (so like.. 30 minutes into the game) and then gave up.
