So how exactly does leveling titles work?

Loving the game so far. The cast is fantastic. They're all very likeable, Sorey is a great protagonist.
Music is amazing too. I originally thought the Go Shiina tracks were the only ones that were going to stand out, but I'm glad I was wrong. Sakuraba did great in this soundtrack, loving the field themes a lot.
Really solid port too. Managed to backup the jpn intro as well. Had tearing issues with Vsync on but they went away after restarting the game.

On PC, I hear a lot of popping and crackling in the audio. I thought my headphones got messed up while playing. I fired up Spotify and everything sounds normal.
Does anyone else have this problem?

From what I remember, you gain exp for titles by actual level ups and cooking? Someone else can help clarify though.
Control Panel -> Sound
Find your device, right click -> Properties -> Advanced
Make sure your device is set to 48k for shared mode.
Depending on your device's driver, you may also need to go to "supported formats" and uncheck everything but 48k to force your device to only use 48k for the time being.
(This should be simple enough to patch, so here's hoping it's done in good time)

It's kind of a garbo system anyway, lol.
If I recall, the skill system works by equipping pieces with various skills and then either matching them up by putting them in rows or columns or by equipping multiple versions of one skill. If you manage to match these up, you'll gain various bonus effects in addition to the effect of the skill on your armor. For example, I believe if you fill equip all of the tier 1 abilities (the left column) you gain a minor bonus to all stats.
Its actually pretty simple if I'm understanding it right. You have skills on equipment, skills fill in their corresponding spot on the skill tree. If you make a line going up, or to the side, (I dunno about diagonals yet) you'll get a unique unison bonus which I believe will change depending on how long the line is (maybe just its effectiveness). If you have multiple of the same skill on your equipment, you're creating a stack of them which will increase the effectiveness of the skill.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Yeah but that means you'll be avoiding upgrading to 'better' equipment for fear of losing the small buffs ..

When is a good time to start the Alisha DLC, storywise? Just started and wondering whether to just save it till after the main game, or sometime in the middle?
Shouta

Yeah, that's a concern. Eventually, some of the abilities are better than some of the smaller buffs but it was a headache early on. It's a really bad system within a real mechanic to let you customize gear in a simple manner.
After the main game.

I understand the licensing issue, but it's really stupid that you can't take screenshots on this game on PS4.
I'm still leaning towards buying this game though.

It's post-game story.
Just started it and played it all night. I'm surprised to say the least. The story, characters, cutscene direction/animation, and music are way better than I expected, and I'm enjoying the more simple adventure-y tone after a couple games with a lot of drama, but I'm not really feeling the battles due to 30fps, lackluster effects/sounds, and a few design decisions. The camera also hasn't proven to be a real problem for me yet. There were a handful of battles where I had to move to get the camera zoomed back out but it was a matter of sidestepping once or twice. Only once did I feel like it impacted my ability to fight beyond that.
This is crazy. With a "naive, sheltered protagonist" and "Tales of Graces-inspired combat" I was not expecting to end up playing this game more interested in the story and characters than the gameplay. That's not how this series is supposed to work. lol

This fixed it. Thanks for the help.
The game is alright now, even though I thoroughly hate the camera so far. It's way too close. The combat reminds me of Graces, but somehow more sloppy due to the camera feeling that it needs to bee all up in your face due to no real battle arenas. I rather have battle arenas honestly, though I appreciate them trying new things.
Still liking the game, can't wait to get home and play more.

I just got my physical PS4 copy and I'm not noticing a mandatory install? The game just started up after installing the update. The game might be installing in the background, but I'm not finding any notifications about it.
I don't have too many PS4 games at the moment but so far all of them required at least a partial installation before I could start playing.

All PS4 games install completely onto the hard drive. It's likely that between the time you inserted the disc and started playing, it installed enough to start the game.

Seriously though, I'd recommend against it. It's a key-item used to open up some doors, and there's an extra cutscene involving it. Though I don't know what exactly changes in the event you sell it, because I decided to reload after selling it since I sensed it was a Wrong choice.
Wait, SERIOUSLY?

Yeah, its not even 12GB, that probably installs very fast. Even 40gig games don't take that long to install. Its under 20 seconds.
2 hours in, just got the brand new shiny robe thing. Loved it. Loved the characters and glad to see that Mikleo isn't as annoying as I thought he would be.
Battle system is still growing on me....not much battles in the first two hours anyway. They throw a whole lot of systems in the first tutorial with not much chance to experiment each one.
The field music is so grand that I'm humming it already. The English voice is nice, I'll try JP voice tomorrow.
Overall, glad I bought this on launch day.

Has anyone gotten this to work with NVIDIA Shield or Moonlight streaming for Android yet? The game detects the controller, the D-Pad and analog sticks work, but none of the buttons do.

For some reason I thought it would take a lot longer. I remember GTAV taking a while to install.

Well most of it is just obvious stuff you can figure out in a minute, and you can read the tutorials later from the library if you feel the need to.
Frame rate is indeed locked to 30 on the PC. Aside from some Vsync oddities, it runs really well, no slowdowns or hitches.
You get it back.

Yeah it takes more "points" as the title levels.
I think the way it works with artes is titles can potentially offer different artes, but you learn the arte through normal level gains. So you pick the title based on what you're trying to learn when you level up.
What happened? I ordered the exact same thing from Amazon and got release day shipping.
Thought they fixed this for PS4.... damn...

I can name the number of times the camera has fucked up on one hand and give back change. In like 8 hours of play. It's not that bad.
And if you're playing in MP, it's a challenge pretty much throughout the game. (since the camera focuses on the enemy rather than the player in MP mode)
Fix what? It's not a bug
Played around with it for about one hour on PC. I liked what I played in spite of the 30fps cap. Running 4K native and my Titan X doesn't even come out of "power saving mode." Now, I don't know if I'll ever get to actually play it, but I'm happy with my purchase anyway. It's always a pleasure to show support for the (PC) platform.

For all you know geometry between you and characters/enemies was supposed to turn transparent, but didn't due to a bug.
A bug that might not have been fixed for PS4

of course, i'm at 1920x1080 in the game, i tried with and without DSR, and i don't see any difference
Pretty sure that's not the case. Think Baba-san even did an interview a while back about the camera and said how it was hard to handle but they did their best or something like that.
If they had considered it a bug after all the complaints, they would have had it fixed. Obviously not the case
It's a feature!
They should have added a minimum distance to the camera's target. Or let it move through objects and turn them transparent. Or both.
Having my whole screen filled with centipede butt does not help me in any way.
If I was playing on a lower difficulty it wouldn't be too much of a problem, but when I die in a couple of hits it does annoy me.

If you're trying to downsample from 4k, you need to actually select 3840x2160 in-game.
I must be getting Punk'd. Got a notification of attempted delivery even though I was sitting on the couch 5 feet away from the door. I had the TV on but no way was it loud enough to obscure a hard knock on the door. No notice left either so they're gonna try tomorrow when I'm gone from morning to afternoon.
