Picked this up on the eshop since I had just enough balance, and so glad I did.

I can only play it in brief spurts tho, but I just passed chapter 11 and it took me roughly an hour and 30 minutes. The little jokes, the sprite work and animation, the fan service (Some of the stages have had such amazing attention to detail). Good stuff, makes me kinda sad I couldn't swing for the full on LE version.

 

[Neki]

Favourite Y attack right now is Frank West + Hsien-Ko, hilarious but effective.

 

[demidar]

Something I don't get is how the Capcom's side is split up. Why not pair Morrigan/Hsien-ko, Chun-Li/Juri and Dante/Lady?

 

[Dereck]

It is not random if you unlock them at determined levels...

I only unlocked one new attack at the moment. ChunLi and Morrigan's down attack. They are level 11 I think.

I'm really confused, how do I "unlock" the ability to do Multi-Attacks? Every character is level 13 or above, and I'm lost.

You learn them eventually. Each character learns attacks at different levels, as not everyone learns them at the same time. Chris and Jill learn their Multi Attack at an early level - but that's only to demo the Multi Attack. You don't play them for a long time, and by then you most likely have some characters who have learned their Multi Attack.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Hrrrrrrrrrrrrrg, just spent 1 hour and 40 min on Chapter 16 because I thought the chapter would instantly end once I got the key.
I hate how requirements can change on the fly sometimes.

That's nothing 100 should be a normal easy avg. My current record personally is like 132, though nothing that amazing either.

[newsguy]

Despite lots of the fan service being lost on me and not giving a shit about the story, I'm loving this game. I am getting very good with timing attacks to the point where the screen just looks like a mess of explosions.

Thank you

How easy is it to play this game one handed?

no reason

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

And there's another song missing in the localization.

Spoiler

Rocks doesn't play at Stage 27. They use the Endless Frontier Exceed remix for the stage instead.

What else did they remove in the localization?

Well, you'll have trouble performing different attacks

 

[kiryogi]

Practically every single licensed theme song.

For Tales fans, Ring a Bell is gone

Seriously? I didn't know the localization was gimped that badly.

I kind of regret getting the English version but I don't have a JP 3DS so I would be kind of screwed if I didn't.

Oh well.

 

[Kincaido]

Over the clouds is gone too ;_;

WHAT?! FUCK THAT SHIT! DAMN YOU JAM PROJECT!

 

[Zonic]

We need to make a list of all the removed music/changed content. I get Namco had to take some liberties in order to deal with licensing, but it kind of sucks hearing more & more songs being removed.

& got a good laugh when all the Endless Frontier characters finally appeared & the reactions the others had (once again Frank & Vashyron were great).

 

[EsotericManiac]

Got to chapter 10 last night. pretty fun game

 

[chickdigger802]

kinda wish teams have separate xp gauges. Wish I would use the Y moves more, but been mostly just hording xp so I can block moves and only use Y stuff on bosses :/

 

[Mad Bowser]

Thats nothing? Umm okay. Take a pic of when you do your "average" then

 

[Midnight Moon]

All of these changes has me seriously considering buying the Japanese version, but then I wouldn't be able to enjoy the flavor text. I already have a JP 3DS but meh...<_>

STOP CHANGING GAMES DAMMIT

Tales is owned by Namco why would they take out their own song?

They still have to pay royalties to the performers/composers for each game sold, I would think. Perhaps whatever contract they have for certain performances is only legally binding within Japan. Just spitballing.

J-Pop songs are not actually owned by the games or publisher.

Hallelujah my copy finally shipped. See y'all Monday.

Ring a Bell... no...

It would have been better had I not even known it was in the Japanese version.

Nooooooo I love Ring a Bell ;_;

Oh well.

It's missing a few vocal tracks and its "gimped?" The fuck? All things considered its amazing we even got this game at all.

 

[chickdigger802]

So whats in place of licensed music?

Also, whos the artist(s) for the character portraits of this?

[bequietdrive]

Glad its getting such a positive reception on gaf. Only £22 on amazon, may have to bite.

 

[ChrisG683]

Ok I just Youtube'd for the X Zone verion of Ring a Bell... I'm ok with that abomination being removed.

Don't get me wrong, the original is amazing... but that mix made me want to cry.

Makes me feel a little better.

Man, why isn't Judith in this game? Judy needs to be in EVERY game.

Everything sounds like it's from Street Fighter 2! Ring a Bell doesn't really fit though.

 

[XenoRaven]

This game is so fun and I don't know why.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

I just started but roughly how long is this game?

 

[Bururian]

there is something immensely satisfying about seeing moves you recognise from other games on a 2d pixelart scale

It's pretty magical. A child-like glee takes over.

Fixed that for you

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yeah, it's not like the cut songs are actual songs but just synthesized, vocal-less bgm

 

[Gartooth]

Picked up the game yesterday and played it for so many hours it's crazy. Love the fanservice in the game, really makes the experience for me so far. Also, Ring a Bell is gone? Dammit, I'm a big fan of Tales of Vesperia so that really pisses me off,

Spoiler

could we at least have gotten Fury Sparks on the OST that came with the game please?

Does anyone know all the music that was cut from the game? I know the opening theme, Over the Clouds, and Ring a Bell are all gone.

 

[Zonic]

World's Love from Shining Force EXA got removed, from what I've heard, most likely the same reason Ring a Bell was removed (j-pop song they couldn't get the rights to).

 

[EsotericManiac]

absolutely love the counter-> super in this game.

"oh you wanted to attack me, huh? BIG MISTAKE"


SHINNNKOOO KICKOOOO!!

 

[Quixzlizx]

Was Newegg not a participating retailer for the LE? I preordered the game at least a month ago, and when my copy arrived it was just a regular copy.

 

[GeekyDad]

This game is so fun and I don't know why.

Could it be this:

 

[Kincaido]

So, when do you get KOS-MOS? I need dat plot.
