you are obviously not going to get a lot of hits doing ground combos, otherwise you would be invincible. I haven't experimented that much, but Touma's Seamless Fury skill is GREAT to rack up a bunch of hits in a short time. you just need to time it correctly since enemies get up rather quickly.
Leveling up the Writing IC skill is such a pain in the ass.
the others level up REALLY quick.

This is fucking garbage right now. Here is a list of things stupid about this current segment
This is bullshit. And fuck that stupid asshole Eugine seeing 3 teammates dead while he sits there wanking off or some shit with 20 revive potions, 2 revive magic spells, AND HIS CHOICE IS TO DO NOTHING!!
Ridiculous.
where I need to stop the enemies from the tower:
1) THERE IS A TIME LIMIT! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU TRI-ACE?!
2) ENEMIES YOU CAN'T KILL, BUT YOUR TEAMMATES CAN...BUT THEY DON'T
3) WHY DON'T YOU PUT A FUCKING SAVE POINT INFRONT OF THIS SEGMENT AND NOT BACK AT THE LAST TOWN SO I NEED TO WALK ALL THE WAY THERE?1 AHUUUH1H1
4) WHY IS THERE IS A TIME LIMIT! HOW IS THIS A GOOD IDEA!

I know others were stuck there as well..but since you made it a point to say that the "games lack of direction/explantation" I need to pick on you a little about this. I for one enjoy games where you have to think a little...and the game does not hold your hand. The game does "IN FACT" give you a hint and a pretty obvious one at that on this part.
As you first approach the door it has a cinematic and that is where it tells you the two things it requires, as the cinematic comes to end you see the camera pan to where Capell is looking at one of the twin and the one twin looks up at capell and smiles. Right then I knew that something was tied to the one twin and the puzzle. Without giving it away, I will leave it at that since you obviously passed this section.
I just find it funny that you think that there was no direction/explanation when if fact they did give you direction and a hint on what to do. You just have to pay a little attention...did you not think "Why is capell looking at the twin and why is the twin smiling at capell in front of a puzzle door?"???
Anyways, this game has alot of stuff like that, you just need to pay attention, there are some reallly subtle things in this game that can be missed...that one section though was pretty obvious though.
Tower of Vesplume is fucking amazing, but I missed an orb fragment so now I have to backtrack to god knows where to find it. I was pretty sure I hadn't missed any of them until Aya demanded it and she's like, YOU'RE MISSING ONE!
Fucking shit, I backtracked twice and all I had to do was craft this piece of shit(I thought you needed 4 orbs)? God damn.

No I agree with you...I think I might have accidentally skipped the cutscene or didn't pay enough attention
I was more dissapointed in myself for not paying enough attention and having to look it up on Gamefaqs

Is there any place that has uploaded a picture of the entire overworld map?
Like is it long linear stretches like in FFXII or is like big non-linear like Oblivion?

See, this is the kind of bullshit that happens when they only let you ever control one character.
Okay, I returned this frustratingly disappointing game today, wasnt my cup of tea. Lack of save points was the last straw for me, in addition to the "what the hell?" puzzles and awful camera and menu system. Tales here I come, just dont disappoint me, you know what i expect from you.....
Has anybody been getting a lot of DREs on this game? I'm on my second copy of the game and it keeps crapping out when I start going down the path to Feyal in the desert; the first copy crapped out whenever I entered a town. If it matters, both came from Best Buy, which has the metallic cover.
Yeah that place could be annoying, I just did my own map. And got out fairly quickly.FtsH said:
... Press Y?
do you people know that you can turn off spells? so like... with Eugene, turn off all 'offensive' spells and just leave the healing spells on. he'll concentrate on healing. Pressing Y whenever there's a dead party member also helps.

Pressing Y when dead doesn't seem to do anything. Normally I mash that during combat.
And yes, you can either have on or off for spells, no levels or deeper AI settings or anything like that. I mean, I usually keep everyone on Save MP until I get to a hard enemy, but it would have been nice if there was a way I could designate one guy to just healing everyone instead of going stupid on us.
At least I have the perfect party now. Me, Edward, Eugene (that fucker), and
that Samurai Aristo.

Just finished today.
I want play again from the beginning tomorrow. New game+, bonus dungeon, blah blah, that'll have to wait. IU is my favorite game on 360.I'm glad Motoi Sakauraba took a full orchestral approach again. He's my favorite game composer when he's focused on piano and orchestral arrangements. This game was a nice test to put him in Koji Kondo's coat with dynamic music of sorts. Good stuff.
Capell and Aya are awesome. The story was nice and the conclusion was warm. Alright, I just came on here hoping people thought this game was great like I do.
Reviews, well I don't know. They just have no sway on me. Very few enjoy games I like these days.

Haha, I just finished seeing that right now. The entire sequence was hilarious. Capell be big pimpin. :lolGyoru said:

I'm really impressed with Gotanda's work on this game's engine, which will also be SO4's engine.
There's barely any loadtimes. Dungeons aren't divided in 'areas' once you get into a dungeon there's no loading until you get out. So the screen doesn't go black until a) you leave the area/dungeon whatever b) you get into a cutscene c) you get killed. Pretty impressive to me. Even if the game looks subpar sometimes, I can totally forgive it because of what I just mentioned.
I'm on my way to the last place now, but I'm going to make some preparations beforehand.
I think I can give a solid tri-Ace ranking now that I've played the majority of this...

IU could go up or down, depends on the post game stuff + hard mode.
I never had any problems with the menu mainly because I never try to access it during battles. I just don't rely on the menu and let my battle preparations + teammates do the work.
One legitimate complaint is the lack of save points. like they don't put a save point RIGHT before a boss, so you won't even know you are approaching a boss fight. It doesn't annoy me that much, I can see it really pissing off other people.

Oradain Mountains are awesome, beautiful graphics and the fights with two groups are crazy.
The beginning is meh but after one hour and a half, the game clicked with me and right now I love it. The story is simple but interesting and Aya is lovely

Are you unable to target the ogre in the beginning, or is the option not yet available or something? I only played for about an hour yesterday, but I spent about 15 minutes in the damn woods trying to figure out how to target the ogre and wondering why Aya was being completely useless during the fight.
HooDoo said:
And to get Rico with you,since the party automatically disbands,well don't tag along on screen with you as soon as you enter the village,you have to go in their House and press RB near Rico to have him tag along again.
Also you can change locked targets by pressing LB.

Well most of the time I found myself simply running away from boss attacks. Although I did manage to parry a couple of
The Dreadknight's
I didn't find the framerate to be a serious issue. It also helps to keep tabs on the top of the screen to see what attack a major enemy is going to do next(course this can be tricky if everyone is doing specials/spells at once).
Beat the game btw, really enjoyed it.
Although the last boss gave me a serious Gill vibe. I think it's his voice.
The Kraken fight was really disappointing. I just kept running behind him and mashed out some specials
I should also point out that I'm really impressed how much of an impact pre-battle planning can make. For the
dragon
Guess I'll take a break for a couple days and then check out the extra content.
****WARNING(spoilers)****
Anyone who is playing this game on easy stop right now and start over on normal.
Beating the game on normal unlocks
hard mode and the bonus dungeon.
