I at least have a baseline of what I want to write, so there's that.

 

[skLaFarebear]

With the way they're stylized I don't really think Vesperia looks considerably better. And I prefer the combat, dungeon and puzzle design in Symphonia way more.

Granted I don't think either game has ground breaking combat, with both being complete garbage compared to Graces F. But I'll disagree that anything about Symphonia except for maybe its story being better than anything about Vesperia.

God, Graces F, why is everything about you but your combat so unlikable?

And I disagree heartily, but I am fully willing to admit that my personal experience with Symphonia is what makes me remember it so fondly. Although, the soundtrack is way better and no nostalgia is influencing that.

I once had to write a short story for my english class. Long story short I attached an apology letter to it when I handed it in.

Well at least we're past that now.

Do you write everything even if it's kinda messy then change it later? Or do you change it as you go and only write through once?

I write a rough outline, then just write through it, making up the details as I go and not worrying about grammar and shit, making notes about story or character detail changes as I go to go back and edit later, then once it's all written, I edit it, then will usually either rewrite the whole thing and edit again or just rewrite certain parts all together.

Not a big fan of the OST in any Tales games, except for the one standout one that each Tales game usually has. Like Vesperia's Fury Sparks, Abyss's Meaning of Birth, etc.

My favorite is Abyss, but I'm also willing to admit a lot of that is nostalgia and other Tales games in general have done things far better than Abyss, but it's still my first.

Sometimes I just write it, even if it's a bit messy and change it later. If I try to make it perfect my first time though, nothing I write would probably see the light of day.

I change things post completion. The first draft is just that, the first draft.

Tales of the Abyss Cast ruined it for me, maybe the other Tales of Cast could be a little stock. But Abyss cast is flat out unlikable most of the time. Not just Luke, but almost everyone.

I know that, still doesn't hurt the nostalgia of it though. Guy is a total bro though.

Guy and Natalia are actually the two characters I like. Let that be a note, the spoiled princess character is actually likeable compared to the rest of the cast. I'm not sure if that a good thing for her or a bad thing for the rest of them.

Yeah see that's the right way to do it, and because it's so much work I used to always do the once through thing instead. That was frustrating and not pretty at all. Maybe I should post some stuff I did years ago up later and we can all laugh at past me.

I can't decide between Symphonia or Vesperia

Vesperia hands down.

Guy is JYB so he's automatically likable. He can voice a complete piece of shit (and he did!) and he'd still make that character likable.

I don't know why I like JYB so much, but I do. Unabashedly.

I like every role he has done.

Jade tends to be people's favorite character, but honestly I can't stand him. He is the jackass character done completely wrong. It's only so much sarcasm can do for you.

Jade felt to me like my voice. I was so sick of everyone's shit and he was the only one pointing out how shitty everyone was and he was doing it with style and a smile.

Thanks. Much appreciated.

The problem with that is that he doesn't realize how shit he can be. Considering a lot of events could have been avoided if he just spoke up sooner, especially one particular event that he was to blame for just as much as Luke for. But he instead acts like a 13 year old girl trying to give him the silent treatment.

Obama was offended by the gall the Polish prime minister had to give him the Collector's Edition of The Witcher 2, and so, Obama said any CE from Europe shall never make its way over to the United States again.
