Could someone who's playing the Japanese version upload the Elle's snow song skit in Japanese? I'm wondering how bad it was originally.

Millia's, Alvin's, Rowen's and Elize's are basically wide range mystic artes.
They just don't show more than one enemy during the arte itself but it does damage others.
Late to this but in abyss if you where fast enough you could run out of the damage zone of MA's that covered a certain radius (ex .akashic torment . imperial slaughter)
badness personified. =D

Tipo's voice.
Never mind the fact that it's no longer endearing and the lyrics are changed. Y'all were right about that voice.
Teepo is really hit or miss in the dub. :/ I think the Elize song is the worst display for him.

That's really a shame. He's my second-favourite Tales mascot, and I will admit that part of what made his character was the flavour/tone colour of his Japanese voice, and other factors like his sarcasm and a contrast to the personality that Elise puts forth that don't seem to be apparent in the dub now that I'm watching more videos of the English version.
so has anyone figured out yet what
is saying in his MA ?
To me it sounded something like this (taken from a youtube comment ) :
Soon dimentia,
DIDORIDJIRDISTINMUWANTINGWANGA LIGHTNING NOVA
Wingul's

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gOHHw7dT_0 Lots of English Teepo and Elize in here.
2:28 for the "OH NO~~~" skit in English.
I also find it a problem that (major plot spoilers):
Teepo have some weird written lines where you can't easily see "I (Elize) am thinking this!" and it's more of "Elize is thinking that!". A bit of editing could have cleaned that up.

It's Long Dao.
Maybe I'm bias since I played the English version, but the Japanese VAs just don't do it for me.
I don't like either so... lol. Hilarious. I may be the outlier. The delivery of some of the lines in English are pretty good. Some...
Maybe I need more exposure to the JP lines but I quite enjoy Teepo here. Comes across rather silly and snide at times. Outside of a few instances (Snow song), I've actually not hated listening to Teepo. Hell, some of the best lines have probably been Teepo's honestly.
At the end of the day, it's better than Mieu.

Yeah, but Mieu's voice was spot on for the English release though. It just happens to be that he's annoying as hell, haha.
FIIIREEEEEEE~
Teepo I actually don't mind in the English release at all, but they definitely missed some part about his character dealing with spoiler reasons. A part of that is language barrier.
Like it's common for a little girl to refer to themselves with their name in Japan, not so much here. So there was like a double meaning with everything Teepo said in Japanese.
I also think it sounded a bit too human, should have gone for more of an Elmo-like voice for Teepo.

An easy way to cheese out of this is to go to the
forest where you first recruit Elize
Don't know the map's name but the forest one has the huge tree in the middle of it.
Basically, since you are switching between areas, you'll always respawn the monsters in the forest. And you can find the spinny plate monsters which count as rare monsters along with the regular rare monsters that show up.
Still slow but better than randomly going through the maps.

In Japanese, iirc, Wingul said "Are you ready? Feel the tempest! Lightning Nova!" I like how the English version handles that more.
Aha, and there's always going to be one Miyuki Sawashiro, I guess.
Tipo: Haruna Ikezawa
Elise: Yuki Horinaka
Milla: Miyuki Sawashiro
Jude: Tsubasa Yonaga
Aw, they changed it to an "Aaaaah!" instead. Booooooooooo. And yes (major plot spoilers)
that's too bad they didn't do that and enforce what Tipo truly is relative to Elise. Towards the end, you should probably say how they ended up handling Tipo as a character because I always felt that out of all of the characters to be localized, he'd be the most sensitive one in terms of either getting it right or getting it wrong.

Actually, Souichirou Hoshi voiced Cline in Tales of Xillia.
Tipo: Haruna Ikezawa
Elise: Yuki Horinaka
Milla: Miyuki Sawashiro
Jude: Tsubasa Yonaga
Oh you know that's not a high bar. :V
I remember a loooong time ago us saying that they really should've just plain went straight for Elmo for Tipo's voice since it'd be the most suitable type.I also think it sounded a bit too human, should have gone for more of an Elmo-like voice for Teepo.
Well, as far as that is concerned:
Once you find out that he's just a reflection of her thoughts, it's up to you to read them as how she truly feels but just voiced bluntly as Teepo. Maybe there's another aspect to it with the original dialogue but I don't think it's really lost here, per se, just not something told through language alone
Hey, just because the bar is sitting below the ground doesn't mean there's no bar!
I'd ... pay to hear that, I think? I don't actually know how I feel about this.
Edit: Not sure how I missed this but:
I too quite enjoy soon dementia, DIDORIDJIRDISTINMUWANTINGWANGA LIGHTNING NOVA.
Why would you do that?

Right now, I am in Ch.2 and have six characters in my party for the first time. Just now, I discovered something fun...
Ever since getting my first encounter link, I've been trying to avoid it from happening again. But looking at the food items just now (which I barely touched since playing the game), I decided to try to maximize my EXP and Gald earnings in only three battles (because the cheap food only lasts three battles). To do that, I decided to re-enable Encounter Link.
I linked three monsters at once a few times, followed by four. It was actually really fun and made my EXP rise a lot. When having the 60% EXP food bonus and battling four monsters linked at once, it's almost like getting EXP from a boss every time.
When doing encounter linking, only five monsters are on the battlefield at once, and defeating one will make another one jump out. Unfortunately, the bonus you get for a surprise attack applies only to the first five monsters, but it was no problem. I had three healers out and I stayed linked to the 6th character (who steals items when linked), and grinding and item farming became a lot more fun, faster, and cheaper.
Actually, Teepo annoys me more than Mieu because Teepo is always talking about friendship, pals, and stuff like that. Mieu didn't. Then again, I am not too far into the game, so that may change.
I might be the only one who didn't find Mieu that bad. lol

I don't know. For me, the moment the
Teepo reveal happened, it was hard for me to see him as an own character. I think the message came across fine.

Couple quick questions:
1. Is there any reason to run around talking to people in towns aside from green ! sidequest people? Because I really hate wasting time with townpeople talk
2. Any reason to use Semi-Auto over Manual?

Semi Auto causes you too...
A) Whenever you input an attack, your character will automatically run up to the enemy for you and attempt it. You never have to worry about which direction you're facing when you perform an attack out of free run.
B) Rather than tapping up to jump, you must hold guard while tapping up. You never have to worry about accidentally jumping when you're coming out of free run.

How does encounter link work? I always thought its just when you engage 2 guys that are close to each other.

You can link 2-3 battles if you can draw enough foes together in a field. Not sure if you can do more

Why would you do that?

Does it really have to be at least three? I seem to recall doing it with two, when I did it the very first time.
But yes, just touch an enemy when other enemies are nearby, and you will fight all of the enemies in one battle. You gain all of their gald and experience.

Yeah auto correct -.- was meant to say at most which somehow changed to at least *sigh*
Even then it's not very clear, might as well blow up the whole thing and try again lol
Oh dear god, why would anyone prefer the Japanese VO Teepo? That was terrible.
I swear 8-4 put that there as a tribute to Jeff Cannata from Weekend Confirmed lol
EDIT: Different scene. Whoops.

My boyfriend is playing this game wrong. Playing on Easy mode. Not levelling the shop system. Not comboing. Free Running like a madman from what he's telling me.
I generally dislike playing Tales games with him since we usually disagree on everything, so we stopped doing it a long time ago since it was a source of irritation.

Because -- gasp! -- people have different preferences, and some people might enjoy the flavour that one voice has over the other!
That's not even the worst.

Do you have items in your inventory for it (ie: did you tell them to use when it gets to 0 and replenish your stock at an item shop), and did you set the items in your tactical menu for it?
Outside of that, they should be using the items when the requirements in the tactics settings are met.
Japanese one's so much better. I liked Elise's Japanese voice. Although I dunno if she still does VAing for new roles.
Stopped reading at playing on Easy. Well jk I read it all. But playing Tales games on Easy... I just can't imagine. They just wouldn't be fun. They would be mindless button mashers. You'd get nothing from the combat.
Oh, and I beat the final boss. Epic IMO. Will write a big post on everything (hopefully) that nobody will read
Needless to say I loved it. Definitely a top tier Tales for me.
Jude/Milla/Elize/Leia for life. Sorry Alvin and Rowen
I had this issue and it turned out when I brought up the battle menu I had to hit square to enable auto items. Try checking that.

Yeah, this is probably the most likely way why your AI characters aren't tossing items at each other.
Especially since it's pretty unnoticeable.

For the final bossI was about to finish off the boss with Final Fury but instead got that. It was awesomedo Jude and Milla automatically use Tiger Blade Sigma
Did you already unlock the move first though or the arcane arte to go into it?
I haven't heard of any instances of this happening though like how in Graces, your characters say something special when they kill the final boss with a Level 3 BC.
