Tales of Zestiria |OT| - Sorey, Modders did what Bamcouldn't!
- Thread starter Cornbread78
- Start date
Actually, no.
As I briefly went into previously in the thread, the context was:
- Finishing off Xillia 2 platinum, on NG+, with the usual Grade Shop suspects already enabled
- Realizing I'm going to be about 4-5 hours short in finishing this off before crunch time for work came (I freelance audio, huge soundtrack work was lined up then which would take me out of commission for 3-5 weeks as far as gaming goes)
- Had $15 lying around on PSN since 2012 (I can't even remember what I bought prior, was remainder off a $50 PSN card)
- Bought +30 levels (level +10, level +10, level +5, level +5) which added up to a dollar under my wallet funds to just speed up the lv200 achievement by a few hours on top of the Grade Shop NG+ run
- Got platinum
- Started work, RIP Falk's gaming for a month.
The more contextual discussion here is, why even do that? Are platinum trophies really that important? Why not just hack trophies if they mean so much to you?
Xillia 2 is hardly the only Tales plat I have. Heck, Tales games are hardly the only plats I have. It's all about the journey, not the destination and funny as it sounds, I legit get nostalgic going through some of them sometimes (not just limited to PSN) sort of the way photo albums invoke nostalgia. As to hacking saves vs $ DLC, I guess it's a combination of "well the $15 is lying around not being used anyway" and a developer-sanctioned method* as opposed to a hack. Not that it really matters in actual practice but there you have it.
*And again, I think Bamco's DLC practices are terrible, it was pretty much an impulse-buy, and I wouldn't do it again given the choice, since I've finished plats for a shit ton more games since that crunch last year.
I'm well aware every time I bring it up it derails threads, but I thought it would have been funny one last time in the context of previous page. I'm all for self-deprecating humor if someone gets a kick out of it. That's all there is to it. ;p
edit: you can quote that other guy and stare at him though!
I'm agreeing 100% with Durante in this case. For me, the dubs take Neptunia from an amusing, stylistic romp through Japanese gaming and pop culture (in Japanese) to straight-up cringeworthy (in English). A lot of the humor and the moe factor just... I dunno, doesn't localize well, I feel. You're welcome to disagree.
edit2: Although a completely different culture, Bollywood falls into this categorization. It's far easier to appreciate Bollywood movies for what they are when left in their original language, whether Tamil, Hindi or whatever. Subs are fine. Dubbing... really turns them from something amusing and cultural into downright hilarious.

NA, PS4
Check PSN? Should be free for a period of time.
I'd say contact Bandai Namco first. Amazon will just tell you to return it probably.

Is the Classic Costume DLC up on PSN? I redeemed my code for it and it showed a picture of the costumes, but I can't see where to download them.
Alright. Left them a message on the number that's on this support page: https://support.bandainamcoent.com/index.php?/Core/Default/Index
This is the first time I've *ever* had an item missing from a CE/special editions and I buy a shitload of them. This is my 4th Tales CE at that.

Good call, I thought a code was the only way to get it. Downloading now.
It's called preorder costumes, or something, in your download list. It was like 14 mb.
It's a really bizarre setup (along with the release dates but I digress)
NA PS3/PS4 -> PSN
EU/etc PS3/PS4, AND Steam worldwide -> some VIP signup on Bandai Namco EU website, resulting in code arriving via email.

This?
If you're on PC (I think you're on PC?) then you can use GeDoSaTo to toggle the hud. I haven't pushed the config file to git yet, but I did post it somewhere in this or the steam thread (not on the right system to repost it right now).
I'm curious about this as well. I went to PSN but didn't see it along with the other DLC. I downloaded the two free ones for skits and some items but don't see the Alisha one yet.

I have "Pre-Order Bonus: Mystic Artes" and
"Retail Pre-Order Items (Voucher)".
Is it the 2nd one?

I had to search "Tales of Zestiria" in the store and look through all the DLC before I found it. It is there though so keep looking.

Man, tomorrow can't get here fast enough! Waited so long to play another Tales game.
This should help the wait for Xenoblade X.

Mine still hasn't shipped. :'(
Yes I did that but it's not there. Only seven add ons are listed:three seaside resort packs, free starter, free skits, adventurers pack, and speed run pack.
The Alisha one isn't there.
I suppose I should mention this is on PS4.

There's the PS4 Alisha chapter. It's not under the game's addons. I found it under the New This Week tab though.

So, how does local co-op work on PC? How do I activate it?
I've already set player 1 on gamepad and player 2 on keyboard/mouse but player can't still control another character on battles. I'm still on prologue though.

It might not have been up at the time. I didn't see it when I was downloading my DLC goodies, but it popped up after the PS Store updated.
This game has systems layered on systems, I might start on Normal until you get a handle on just what is going on in the combat.
Go to artes, set other character to anything but "auto" (auto = AI)
Other player can now play.
tip: if the camera gives you issues, make sure you both target the same enemy (and stay close together). MP camera focuses on the enemy while SP camera focuses on the player.
I'm not at my PC right now, but in the olden times in Tales you had to move characters from automatic to semi-auto or manual in the tactics menu.
Hah! Still the same.
The game finally finished downloading when I came back today and...no Japanese opening in the files. So I guess my game already patched? :/
I really wanted it.

Alrighty, thanks!
This gonna be my first local co-op Tales experience. I hope it's good.

Did they completely disable screenshots? Every time I get a trophy, I also get a pop-up saying it was unable to take a screenshot.

You can change difficulty at any time so its not much of an issue, but I've been playing on hard and I've not found it difficult, enemies just have a lot more health. The default difficulty is really easy though, I'd at least bump it up once.
Game is running smooth on my computer. I'm not asking much of it, 1080p with all settings maxed. Can't speak for the KBM controls since I'm playing on the TV with a 360 controller.
I did have one sound problem: the characters voices weren't working. Turns out you can't select surround or that happens, so I restarted and left it in stereo.

Sure, it's just the opening section. Either play the opening section (up til the Op maybe?) and then watch the OVA or vice versa. Just shows you what it's like animated lol.
Okay!!! Thanks!!

Okay so what is all this stuff about selling knives and pipes? What should I be doing/not doing in order to not miss out on stuff?
Yes. It takes place after the story ends so it spoils some important events. There are also moments in the DLC that don't really have much impact without having played through the main story.

Just started playing Zestiria about an hour ago, and this may be a dumb question but how do you switch your targets in a battle? I get that if you hold LT you can run freely, but i cant seem to switch targets?

I think it's R1 and pressing one of the analog sticks left or right.

35 level ups among all the double exp and gald upgrades ..
Although the game still has a grade shop, why would anyone want to buy that, play the game normally first time and if you want to fuck around the second time, you've got the grade shop ..
