Either I'm missing something, or this final boss is some grade A bullshit. Non-stop attacks that can't be broken through, seriously this is insufferable at the moment. >>;

Lol, she has skills that make her gain more EXP for healing party members. My Elize is overpowered too.

I've just finished that, probably about 15 minutes in front of you. Out of curiosity, what level is your party at?

Best in-game alternate costume.
I think you can carry over those weapons already unlocked in the NG+?
anyway the you have to beat the EX dungeon boss 3 times, and the fell arms get unlocked after you beat him the first time so you can still use them (and you have to) in order to finish the EX dungeon completely.
There is more than one in-game alt costume? I mean, besides the free DLC one. If yes, how do you unlock it? I remember there were some in Graces f too (unlocked with that damn card game.)
No spoilers please, if possible.
Final dungeon and you're done
I have to say, it gives me some Esper vibes. Just all green and white instead of Terra's pink.
Beat Jude's story to get Jude's, beat Milla's story for hers. I think I remember people saying there were two more costumes that you could get with the black feathers.

Isn't he playing a character?

He's been playing it since release day on stream.
Yeah. I came very close to just closing the tab after his reaction to first seeing Milla ("ooh! Nice blonde chick with big titties, look at that! Nice titties. Ooh, nice naval."), but I decided to skip ahead to the tutorials to see if he skips or skims them. The guy is so unlikeable.
If he I can't imagine anyone being entertained by an annoying gimmick persona for entire 20-60 hour long let's plays. Let alone when they're uploaded at a rate of 15 videos per day.
Nice, thanks. And how many feathers do you need?
:lol I already watched some parts. He says he is a fan of the series but thinks Artes and Skills are the same thing. From what I've watched he still didnt notice the difference.

Well, finally beat it. Was about level 70 and it still took me everything I had, and on Normal difficulty at that. >>;
I'll probably start a New Game + with Jude next time. Gotta see the missing scenes from his side of the story.

Sheeesh, I'm gonna have troubles at 60s on Moderate.

Admittedly I'm not the best of players. More skilled people should be able to handle him around 60-65 I'd imagine.
You should be primed at lvl 60 on Moderate.
Yes there are, and they are a bitch if you play on Semi-Auto like I do. Accidentally input one more attack than you need to and you go flying off the stage. What is this, Soul Calibur 2?
Also it's amazing how many avatar quote opportunities you lent us in this thread.
And yet nobody took them.
Actually I don't know if avatar quoting is even a thing anymore, really.

Hah, I was the same way.
I wanted to get myself into a better position so I backed up a bit... too much and fell off 3 seconds in.

Okay, some more thoughts, now that I've let it all sink it. I'll start with my cons before moving on to my pros.
Cons (x1):
1) Like any other Tales game, the story goes on for much longer and more roundabout than it needs to.
2) Like any other Tales game, there are some bosses that, once you get them down to 20% or less of their HP, go into fucking Berserker Rage Mode and make me want to crush the controller.
3) The Inomata designed females have ridiculous waists. Seriously eat something girls, you're twigs!
4) Tales of Art Asset Re-Usia, am I right? Also as I've mentioned somewhere in this thread (at least I'm pretty sure I did), I have a sneaky suspicion that this game began life as a Wii title, and was moved to the PS3 after the Graces f port outsold the original Wii game. Many of the games background textures do not look like they were made with an HD system in mind.
5) By the end of the game the only way to make good dough is side-quests, and I've never liked how side-quests are done in Tales games because they're often WAY out of your way. So yeah, I cracked and got the money DLC. Bite me.
6) Titles seem completely useless outside of Grade Points? Or maybe I'm just a dumbass and never figured that out. Similarly I never figured out how to pull off the characters Mystic Arts, but again I'm willing to chalk that up to my dumbassery.
7)
Seriously Tales, this is a rode you've trodden down well more than enough. It's almost as predictable as an evil Empire in a Final Fantasy game.
Pros (x2): (I consider each of these pros to be worth 2 points to the cons 1, if that makes any sense... XD
1) Like any other Tales game, I love the first 3/4 of the story.
2) Like any other Tales game, I have a love/hate relationship with the battle system. I like it more than Vesperia, but Graces f had a better battle system IMO.
3) Like any other Tales game, I generally really like the main cast. Jude began the game as the helpless pacifist, and did largely stay that way, but he was at least smart, determined, and matured a lot in the game and I liked that. Then again I played Milla's route so maybe he's more of a pansy on his own route, I wouldn't know yet. Milla's lack of knowledge about human culture outside of books is nicely balanced by her incredible adaptability. And Elize is adorable.
4) THANK YGGDRASIL for the Fast Travel System.
5) Dual protagonists actually makes me want to replay the game, at least at some point anyway.
6) ufotable made some very very nice anime cinematics. LEAGUES above Graces f.
7) More varied soundtrack which was a nice plus for me. Though I do question the music style chosen for the
Seemed odd, but whatever.
8) Many of the skits were hilarious. Even my sister laughed at the
skit. The expressions were very nice.
9) The artistic director did a very good job of making the Fujishima and Inomata characters mesh well together. I never felt anything jarring between the character sets (outside of the girl's waist lines).
So yeah, 18 Pros points (9 x 2) to 7 con points (7 x 1). Definitely a winner for me. ^_^

I must admit, these types of skits will never grow old to me.

Just beat the game on Moderate Judes route. Didn't die once.
...
So yeah, I this was the easiest tales of game I've played. I probably should have done Hard. However, I in spite of that I really enjoyed the game. It's lacking some depth, but it is a really solid entry.

Oh hey, starting a new game changed the opening cinematic a bit (It focused on Milla my first time because her route, Now that I booted up Jude's side, the focus is on him).
Super neat. :3
Super neat. :3
I was curious to see how he was doing at the end of act 2 where I was last night and he basally powerleveled and grinding the shit out of the game and has everyone at 6K HP(3 times more than me on moderate at the same spot, lol) so he killed the boss in a few seconds. Though he doesn't seem to check most skits and rarely knows where to go.
But yeah, I don't know why someone would watch him play an RPG of all things.
Uh, well press triangle to open the menu and see what level your characters are at. And a new chapter begins whenever you get a silver trophy for no reason other than watching a cutscene.
Just barely beat it. Actually treated this like an old fashioned RPG and changed my accessory and skills.
Equipping Amulet and having Impregnable Guard was a life saver lol. Same goes with
having the Four.
well I always go into the main menu, I just never glance at it, that's all. Any time I go into the main menu it's to level up the orbs and I just never look at my level, lol.
