There isn't a Pro patch, but it does run 1080p and 60fps.
Yes
Not very far
You must go to your inventory, DLC tab and active them

I wonder what's wrong with my controller setup.
I changed the menu button for the general/exploration mode to Y from the default start button. However, it also changes the Y button in battles (so it opens up menu instead of doing combo) even though it's not changed in the option. Why is that?
I'm on PC using a wireless X360 controller, btw.

It only has "Adventure Item Pack 1" though. :/ No sign of the rest.
Whoops, you only need to use item dlcs. For buffs, they will be activated automatically when you bought them. You can't turn them off either
OK, cool.
I wanna say one cube is worth 30 SG.
Sounds like a lot, but then again, I guess I do manage to string a bunch of combos before I have to wait for my SG to refill.
Seems like I got the basic gist of it, anyway. Will probably play on moderate for now and bump it up to hard if things get too easy.

Something is wrong with the DLC. I can buy it, but I get no access to it. The dlc screen just asks me to download the already installed catalog, and the costumes I bought are nowherr to be found. Can't download them either. Anyone else had problems?
Items->last tab on right to claim dlc items. Easy to miss.

Picked up a review copy yesterday, quite excited to try this out. Will be the first time I sit down and play a Tales game, I played a little of Vesperia and Abyss but neither held my attention past the hour mark as I just didn't enjoy the characters and their designs, this looks right up my alley

Just a warning, Berseria has quite a slow start. You might started to get boring in the first hour or so if you couldn't handle it in those games, I think.

Checked that, wasn't there. But I restarted my PS4, and that fixed it. Thanks anyways.
Wow! Thanks for the suggestion, that fixed my problem as well.
You have to restart the console, not the game, and the DLCs will appear in the Add-on tab. Even the non-item ones.
It's faster than Abyss and Vesperia's opening acts at least, and much more interesting story wise IMO.

Man, that went the way I was hoping; getting
in your crew was smart, I really enjoy how this game is shaping up.

Same here, currently saying Arriving 13 Feb - 4 Mar.
Want to play the game so bad so guess I'll just have to pick up a copy in-store...

I noticed on the PS4 version that if you put your PS4 into rest mode that your expeditions keep going and will be finished when you come back to the game without running up the time played timer...very nice.

Tales was never really a "fast start" sort of RPG story-wise....
You can also change the PS4 time and the expeditions are fulfilled instantly.
Yeah, I also changed the Menu from "Start" to "X", and when in battles, it would attack and also open up the menu
. There are categories for the button mappings, which is good, the bad thing is that "Menu" is under General and its not present in the other button mapping categories, it would've been great if they had added it to the battle section as well.You get a lot of them through expeditions. Not sure how many more there are.

I literally just unlocked those. I guess I'll have to invest in it some. Thanks.
Pretty decent
I see most comments in this and the import threads are positive

I really hate Bienfu. Who do they always need to add these shitty, stupid, annoying "maskot" characters?
Getting stuck with 1 SG really sucks. I wish you weren't able to lose them or that they had no impact on your regular combos.
I have no idea why they introduced this mechanic. I had to do a 1 arte combo doing 42 damage (enemy was weak against this element) about 200 times to kill a Dire Foe.

Did you kill it first time you meet it when you have only 2 characters? I was thinking of waiting a bit before I did that, but I'm unsure how long I am supposed to wait.
Yeah. Took a couple of tries and most of my healing items.
e: I guess I already mentioned it took two tries lol.
got a really bizarre issue with this game now for some reason
played for 8 hours or so earlier and it was running perfectly fine the entire time
closed the game for a couple hours to do other things and now for some reason it's randomly running at like 10 FPS
edit: was looking it up and found a bizarre solution that worked for some reason I can't even begin to comprehend(switching steam to offline mode)

Gotta say, I really liked the opening hour or two of this. Like, far more than any Tales game I can recall.
The tone and characters so far is head and shoulders above anything during the last generation, that's for sure.

It does kind of suck, but I mostly ended up feeling it was my own fault for allowing myself to get into that situation.
I actually ended up loving the push/pull, risk/reward element of the way SG was used - though it does take a little getting used to.
Attacks for the enemy's weak point(s) aren't going to always be the most optimal attack if you don't have enough souls to get much out of them. In those cases you'll have to change your approach to regain some momentum.
There's a couple different ways to regain souls:
- Filling the enemy's hidden stun gauge and stunning them (attacks with a Stun factor or Titles that boost the effect will fill it faster)
- Breaking the enemy's guard with the Guard Break boost ability you get later.
- Soul Bottles
- Switching a character in
- Using a Mystic Arte
- Defeat an enemy
- Pick up souls on the field after a successful dodge or if someone dies.
Also, the less souls you have the easier it'll be to stun the enemy (the enemy also has their own pool of souls, so the more they have the easier it is to stun them). So it's useful to have attacks that stun more easily set to use even if they're not actually "good" against the enemy.
Played like 6 hours till now, and really really like it so far. Last Tales game i felt so good about after a few hours was Vesperia. And the story premise of this one is the most interesting one of any Tales game i can remember.
Really like Velvet and the rest of the party.
Also i want that Pirate DLC and the DLCs with the short hairstyles (I'm a sucker for those).
Do we have any idea of the release dates for those? Will they be weekly? It would really suck if they are released sometime after i finish the game.

Unfortunately, none of these were possible. It guarded every single move I tried to stun with. I can't seem to get timed dodging to work either. It's nowhere near as easy as in Graces.
I'm probably just gonna be less frivolous with Break Soul during boss fights.

I'm wondering I've just gotten too old for this series. I think it's the least funny Tales game so far. The last few games werenptetty shit, but at least they made me chuckle here and there. And I find Magilou to just be a tireing character. Maybe I'm just tired of all the meaningless talking. There are so many skits in this game it's driving me nuts. 3-4 in a row is a bit much, yeah?
I think in future games they could improve this by having some skits run as you play. Just add a picture in picture setup or something, so I can still move around the map without getting interrupted every few minutes.
