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 ..

The grade shop is a bit grindier than usual this time, though I imagine by now there are methods to farm grade faster.

holy shit ...

35 level ups among all the double exp and gald upgrades ..

I bought it. No regrets. I'm just going to use them as the challenges warrant while playing through the game, but I was kind of amazed how many things were included. This seems to be all of the Level-up and HP-up add-ons that they used to sell in smaller packs with previous Tales games, only with a bunch of other stuff tossed in, too. The double-Exp / Gald / Grade / etc. can be enabled or disabled at will, as they're simply additional battle skills added to the menu. Though they all require 0 AP to enable.

So I bought the game on the PSN and the Alisha story DLC is nowhere to be found.

 

[CielTynave]

It's up on the webstore.

Thanks

 

[Justified]

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.

Seem screenshots and broadcast both are disabled

 

[Zafir]

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.

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.

There's an even simpler way to do it. If you press CTRL on the keyboard you can cycle through the three control methods to get to the one you want (ie not auto).

My push to talk is CTRL, so whenever I'm in a call or voice chat, I keep changing the AI to other control methods. x.x

When do you get to a point in the game where you can stream?

 

[Jolkien]

It's so weird leveling up and at a glance it does nothing.

 

[lucablight]

What's the difference in repairing the bridge foundation right away or waiting till night time? Does it have any major effects later on?

 

[Falk]

lol

Hey, falk, don't fuck with me. Am I missing something?

 

[R0ckman]

How do item drops work in this one? The enemy list says "often drops" but I've been farming and nothing, since weapons have more value in this I'm thinking its worth my time to turn on the monster meat grinder.

 

[Jonnax]

Hey, falk, don't fuck with me. Am I missing something?

Yep. The stupidity of whoever decided to block screenshots and video recording.

 

[Gillian Seed]

When do all the costumes come out? I want to get the Evangelion set.

 

[MyNameIsRye]

Sigh. Opened my Chibi figure set to see Sorey came with a head only. Wtf.....

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Yep. The stupidity of whoever decided to block screenshots and video recording.

For the whole game!? My god, wtf!? Uuuuuugh, I don't want to set up my equipmenttttt. Guess I won't be streaming it today.

Is this like the only ps4 game that perma-blocks share features?

 

[nikos]

Here are the first 40 minutes of the game, if anyone is interested:

I liked every Tales game before Xillia except for Legendia (and well, obviously Tempest), but I really didn't like Xillia or Xillia 2. Should I stay away from Zestiria? I very badly want to buy it but the Xillia games are making me so hesitant.

 

[kewlmyc]

I must be stupid. What is "focus"?

 

[squadr0n]

Very early game spoilers question, think I missed something:

Spoiler

Why cant Alisha/(humans?) see Mikleo but can see Sorey?

Couldn't get it to broadcast on Steam earlier. Was going to start the game up again and doublecheck and tell you exactly what happens but it's that time on Tuesdays where Steam's offline for a bit.

I mean though, even then, on PC it should be easy to stream with or without Steam broadcast integration

edit: semi-beaten

Sorey is human but he has a lot of something called Resonance. Human with high resonance can see Seraphim.

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?

Bumping this question

 

[squadr0n]

Thanks! Very happy with the PS4 version so far.

Pretty sure I read dont sell the knife, you need it and the pipe to get a hat?

Yeah (and I think it's select or one of the top buttons on controller) but I usually do it via the artes menu so I can customize artes as needed.

Don't sell valuables, its a trap... Basically.

But I was talking about PS4 streaming.

 

[Fuu]

Status related to the how quickly Spirit Chain (SC) regenerates + probability of landing critical hits.

 

[Falk]

I'm a dumbass and misread your second sentence as "Is it like only PS4 that blocks streaming" and not "Is it like the only PS4 game that blocks streaming"

top derp

 

[kayos90]

You can't stream on PS4? LAME!

No worries.

Still can't believe the lack of streaming features with this game.

 

[sora87]

Lots of PC streams though it seems

 

[The Cool One]

Just got my copy, let's goooooooooo!

 

[Zafir]

Well, Steam broadcasting is being stopped, but I don't really see how they can entirely stop streaming of it on PC.

 

[Fuu]

Thank Gaben they can't block Steam screenshots, can't live without them. With the home button + RT shortcut on Big Picture Mode I do it almost mindlessly.

 

[TheFatMan]

Pretty cool game so far. The bright colors I'm really digging.

Battle system seems very complicated. So many things to keep track of and use. Kind of find it a bit overwhelming at time. Luckily I haven't hit any hard spots on my chosen difficulty yet.

The Seraph characters are so much more fun to play as than the humans right now. Fusing isn't that fun to me. Reminds me of Xillia 2's thing.
How do you get higher artes in this game? Do you just learn them normally or do I have to level up my artes?

Or does the ability Charge Cast give me access (to higher seraph spells) automatically?

You get artes primarily through leveling your titles and some events in the game.

Well you can see the main menu, the problem is when you actually get into the game, it just pushes a broadcasting is disabled screen to steam instead of the game.

 

[Rhapsody]

I mean the artes that involving holding after using an arte to use its leveled up form, unless that includes those too.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

In the first dungeon, the victory music feels so odd.

Did anyone get a shipped notification from amazon for the CE yet?

You get new artes by leveling up titles. They sometimes level up when you level up yourself. Charge Cast doesn't grant access to higher artes.

Mine came in today. Perfect condition and packaging which honestly shocked me.

 

[Falk]

Ah, that explains it. Friend was repeatedly requesting broadcast and I couldn't get it to work. (I'm running around ingame)

 

[Rhapsody]

Ah, guess I'll have to check my artes list to see if I learned any yet (pretty sure I haven't).

 

[Vamphuntr]

They said on the steam forum that broadcasting is disabled because of licensing issue. I guess there is an issue with some songs?
