You don't have to restart at all. You can still control Milla even when you're playing Jude's side.
It's the latter.
Also looking through more of the JPN > ENG arte name changes...
Shouha Juumonji > Fatal Crossing
WTF. So it was Cross Thrust in Symphonia, Impact Cross in Vesperia, and now Fatal Crossing? /shakes head
EDIT: Poster at Tales forum might have confused it with another move. Here's hoping, I dislike when they don't keep things consistent, haha.

ex-silya.
Mystic Arte names:
Jude: Satsugeki Bukouken > Final Fury
Milla: Supreme Elements > Elemental Mastery
Alvin: Expendable Pride > Terminus Pride
Leia: Kasshinkon Kagura > Soulstoke Celebration
Elize: Revere Go Round > Scary-Go-Round
Rowen: Grand Finale > Grand Finale
And then Tiger Blade Sigma for Kogahazan Agito.
Also Milla's MA lags. Also noticed when I got the game myself like kayos that the menus do take a little longer to load than the JPN version.

k put in like 2 hours.
I'm done for today. Sleepy as heck but I would have liked to play a bit moar but kinda boring at parts; wtf is with these areas? Enemies take 30 secs to finish ok that's not too bad but the next enemy is like a centimetre away. I'm not too far in though, I'm right before the waterfall area.
Dub is pretty good so far; Alvin curbstomping everbodeh. Theme song sucks horribad. When do I get my waifu Legs and that little summoner chick into my party? I want them badly.

Bah to Alvin's localized mystic arte name. Bah I say.

Hmmm... how is that even possible?
Now I wonder if the framerate will drop even more in the EX dungeon when lots of stuff's going on...
But won't I be missing out on some Milla exclusive events, like it says in the ot?

There is. Beat the first boss in it will net you a trophy. Thankfully.
Like I said, the framerate drops happened when it didn't in JP one and battle menu is slower. I'm not hallucinating!
Only seems to happen when you first open the battle menu, there's a bit of lag before it comes out. After the first time it seems fine...
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
So I guess the trophies here are more flexible and less demanding than Tales of Graces'?
Although the quest trophy seems easy to miss even if it's less demanding (should get 90/102).

Still does it from time to time.

You will, but generally the Milla events tend to spoil some of the intrigue of the plot, imo. It's really better in terms of narrative development to go through Jude's side.
Right. They're boring and grindy in comparison.
Holy moly, he's the voice of Chrom, Walter, AND Kanji in the P4 Anime? Whaaat? *mind blown*
For the quest trophy, should I be good as long as I do a final sweep of all towns before a chapter ends?
I like that a side quest related to Alvin was started by sleeping at an inn. A Tales staple, but at least they actually told you to do it this time!
Anyway, about to call it quits. Finished the third boss and I'm in Sharliton or whatever it's called.
OH and there's definitely lag when I open the battle menu at times. Haven't really payed attention to see if it's because there's a lot going on or if it's just laggy. Really weird if this wasn't in the Japanese version. 2 years to localize and it comes with extra lag lmaooo

Pretty much. Only the sidequest trophy is one that you will probably have to look out got over the course of the two playthroughs you'll have to do anyway.

Yes. I think it should be okay. And keep track of it in the quest log in the menu.

If I'm a Tales vet should I start on moderate or hard? I'm pretty sure you can change it in game easily but I don't want to get brutalized 5 seconds into the game.
This reminds me of Cheria's VA doing her MA or whatever.
Needs more SOUL in it if you know what I mean.
Go hard or go home.
I also really like
Sazanka (Jude) + Sazanka (Leia) = Muzanka > Cereberus Strike (Jude) + Cereberus Strike (Leia) = Scylla Strike
and
Shugo Houtsuijin > Guardian Grove
Do Moderate. With the bosses autobreaking out of combos and doing assholish things like ground pounding to kill off your party, it'd save you some headache, plus there's really no incentive for a harder difficulty outside of more HP.

So are the 102 sidequests for each character (thus making it 204 all in all) or is it split between both characters (aka something like 51 per character)?
I see. Sounds like Milla is designed to be a second playthrough, which is too bad for me since she seems to be the more interesting character.

Teepo doesn't say "Oh Noooooo" in that one skit
Worst localization ever.

There are a total of 102 sidequests. I think you can do most of them expect maybe like 1 or 2 or some few amount that's exclusive to one story.
You can definitely get the trophy on your first playthrough though.
Proper credit for the dub should go to the US producer Ted Tsung (who is awesome and works his ass off for this series). We provided the scripts, but he handled the recording (likewise in TOGf). From what I've seen, people seem to be digging the voices -- can't wait to hear 'em myself!
We love to do voices ourselves when we can, but the opportunity doesn't arise too often because of budgets, the fact that we're over in Tokyo, etc. Last two we did were...I wanna say Nier and Fire Emblem Awakening. If I'm not forgetting anything. (About to do another one soon, so pretty excited about that!)
Anyway, hope you guys are enjoying TOX!

It wouldn't have been the same without the Japanese voice anyway. :[
Tiger Blade Sigma is pretty cool. And I liked Expendable Pride.
The lag is so strange.
Individually I know what expendable and pride means, but together? What is this I don't even. Terminus Pride at least sounds cool.
Also Soulstroke Festival instead of Soulstroke Celebration, yea or nay?

So are you still using Cup of Tea productions for your VO work?
But yeah, I love your guys' work. It would be cool if you got in to what localization work entails, and relate it to what you did for Xillia (or MGR if you want) on your podcast.
Thanks. What kind of convoluted mess? Regardless, I'm liking Milla as a character and I don't see the issue with her VA. But Alvin shits all over everyone else so far.
It's SoulSTOKE btw.
Yeah, I think Festival would have been better.Also took a screenshot of the localized menu. Looks so goooood

Soulstroke is better because it sounds more dirty
God, English Tales of menus are so good because the font isn't just vanilla Arial or whatever that looks totally out of place (looking at you Ys).
Ba'ul plushie > all
