Are there still eleventy billion save points anywhere despite QS? That was amazingly dumb in the Xs.
Can't warp to a quick save.
If you're where I think you are, you don't have to win that fight to continue.
Mmmm... so in the end it seems they did pull a
? How was the story overall? Bad, decent, good? Is the game long? Has plenty of side contents?
And finally,do you feel the game is complete? And are you expecting a PS4 version in a few months?
It seems the major complains I've found here is that the openworld-like design gets old quick, the camera problems and the equipment system leaves a bit to be desired.
But I liked Jude. He had some not-so-good moments
, but in general I liked the character and how he was an insecure teenager trying to find his way.
I mean, sure, he isn't probably the most charismatic main character ever, but it achieve what the devs were trying to do imo.
Edit: I left a sentence incomplete lol xD

If I remember right, you are very close.
I lost. It gave me game over. T_T
I guess I was thinking about something else.
It's a weird game, with fights that you don't have to win, as well as fights where your party actually tells you to run away.
The only stuff that has a disadvantage from what I can think of off the top of my head is the battle actions that start with "A," which all give you some sort of limitation, usually half grade.
I think I stumbled upon a video of that one while looking for the Go Shiina track rips. Might be worth a look.
Am I the only who still hasn't got the game? I'm not sure it'll be out for delivery tomorrow either... oh, well.

My copy still hasn't left Japan yet. That's what I get for saving on shipping by combining it with other stuff. ~_~
I'm still waiting. Tracking packages from USPS (at least from Japan) kinda sucks, no idea where my package is or when I'll get it lol. Hopefully tomorrow...

Nope, mine is in transit to Amazon, who will then ship it to me...so if it goes like it did several times late last year I should get the game not this coming week, but the week after.
I hope you didn't turn on the support abilities that halve your exp or something.

Same thing happened to me. Combine weapons a bunch of times and you'll start doing tons more damage.
EDIT: there is ability called Half&Half that halves your damage. Check that you don't have it turned on. I think it's a battle arte.
Are there support abilities that halve exp? I didn't see anything of the sort....
Nah, I was thinking of the grade halving abilities, sorry. Those allow you to do auto sidestep and stuff for noobs.
Maybe it's your equipment?

Care to explain how the "Grade Shop" works this time around? I planned on farming Grade like crazy at the end of the first playthrough like in Vesperia when I saw Grade gains returned at the end of battles,
but it seems it doesn't even use the "Grade" per se, but rather 引継ぎポイント?
Can I farm those easily, are they farmable at all or have a hard cap? How do you earn them?

That's the only thing I want spoiled for me before I get the game, just so I can plan how I'll tackle the game.

You're not alone ... i'm still waiting for my copy .. 36 hours left to go....
I'm not counting the minutes i swear !!

I'm putting this all in spoilers to be safe:
Grade Points are ONLY used to raise 主の加護　level. I'm not sure what the math is, but the 引継ぎポイント is base on that level (or maybe just the total amount?) So, technically you can farm grade points exactly the same as in Vesperia and it more or less has the same result, just not as direct. Basically, make sure you have awakened/released the 主　everywhere before you farm.

Thanks for the clarification
Here's an example of how it looks when you have your 加護 level at 1 ~ 3 for all

My partnwrs is fusing all the time and the only setting I've changed was the healing one.
Who's your human partner?
Weird. Mine seems to prefer using mystic artes over fusion, and it's driving me crazy.
Because it's a video game.
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.
Our local Tales group is panicking over the Amazon 140+ 1-star score, saying it's the next FFXIII or something. I keep telling them Amazon JP is really unreliable when it comes to those (see DQIX for instance). God they won't listen to me when I said "Amazon JP is a poor indicator scores". ._.

It seems like a lot of games have low ratings on Amazon Japan. Monster Hunter 4G has 2 stars on there, just to give one example.

The AI in this game is really weird.

That's really odd. My other two party members have been fusing nonstop and only occasionally fighting on their own.
I know for sure I haven't tweaked their AI in anyway after my party filled up...
Also Amazon reviews mean close to nothing, especially for big releases in popular franchises.
Really weird. Are you sure you didn't tinker with the strategies too much?
I was actually surprised how good

I have to say, the skill system, if you can call it that, in this game is absolute garbage. No sense of progression or permanence.
I played a bit on the "Second" difficulty for a passive skill and the decription said that you get higher rarity items.
keisuke999

You need to play on hard to get items that have the "double skill" skill. This is required for a trophy, but if you aren't into that then there is no real reason to change the difficulty.
Hard gives you less EXP but more Gald, because in this game leveling doesn't mean shit. TO get stronger you have to combine weapons.
That's not entirely true. Your titles only gain experience when your character level increases.

This is true. Titles, once leveled up, actually do make a big difference.
I'm sticking with the default ones, they seem to be by far the best. Symbols beside them are gold, so I'm guessing they're at max rank.
If you're not playing on hard, changing the heal/defense setting to "when over 75%" is enough for 95% of the fights (so far for me) and in the other 5% you'll just have to manually use Life Bottles lots of them.I am convinced that the AI settings all do different things than they say.
