I just took note of where those types of enemies were and then ran through about a dozen of them in a row when I was at a much higher level. Aside from regular bosses, those Boss Hellions are the ones that will drop Anomalous Orbs, which are the items that actually raise your Max HP. So you very much want to get to those at some point.

I only ran into like, two mimics the entire game. But what did it mean by attempt exceeded?

Holy crap..water arms..it kinda of sucks..but then again im no good with long range
No idea? Maybe a time limit. I also couldn't didn't catch the command writing very well so it may have said something else too.

Don't worry about it too much. Use what works for you. Mikleo was by far my least-used Armatization in the game. Though there are certain times where it's the most effective for certain bosses.

That doesn't work out too well in boss fights. Mostly because any incapacitated party members do not receive EXP. So if a Seraph is KO'd I have to intentionally stall the fight and wait for them to revive if they got swapped out, which can lead to other allies getting KO'd because of dumb AI.
For Seraphs it's better to just use a Life Bottle instead of risking more losses by waiting.
Naturally this isn't an issue for people who don't care too much about EXP. I don't think it makes a grand difference in the end.

If it's the quest I'm thinking of, try Plitzerback Wetland.
I'm actually here now. Speaking of, every enemy in this place is extremely annoying, except the plant. Mainly cuz they're all spell casters.

Was that the point in the game where attacking them mid-cast started to only speed up their casting time instead of interrupting?
So I'm sure those of you that have explored Zaphgott Moor, you've seen that particular castle gate right? Does it really not do anything? If so, was Bamco really that lazy to not just add mountain textures to hide it or something?
Also, this game sure has a lot of

Yeah, all the trial music is so good. But nothing can make up for that level design.
And it's totally stuck in my head now, too. Which is actually somewhat infuriating.
Yeah, like, I just don't know what they were thinking.
Teleport us to the beginning of the room, not the beginning of the dungeon.
But, really, the main issue is that nowhere else in the game do you have to be careful as you navigate like that. And the water power is a dumb stealth thing that doesn't last long enough.
I think the main impetus was to just have a dungeon focused on the water power to make it feel useful, even though it's not worth caring about 99% of the time.

Huge Endgame spoilers:
So they pulled another Tales of the Abyss?!!!! Why?!!! At least change it up by making it clear it's another Shepherd with the hand or Sorey is gone forever. Also doing a basic mouth movement of Sorey saying something inaudible as he pushed Rose away and lowered himself into the pit with Heldaf is maddening, would have liked to know what he said, probably just "thank you."

I'm pretty sure that was Sorey at the end, considering how happy Mikleo was to see him. I kind of doubt he would look the same way if it was another Shepherd. Remember that Sorey was supposed to go into hibernation after becoming a vessel for Maotelus. I think that's why they also showed a grave for Rose and the two twins were really old. To show that Sorey has been sleeping for a long time and the Mikleo scene shows that he's woken up.

Abyss spoilers too
Well Abyss had a smile but there was some bullshit to make it vague (Jade, Natalia) that wasn't here besides the silhouette. I think you're right but it's not 100 percent.
Is the gravestone's name Rose's Japanese romanization? Dang that's sad, now that makes me feel better about the ending. Show her on the hill, then show everyone at her grave. :'( She can't wait for the shepherd like the seraphim can. Damn...
Okay, I think you've got it. I was dumb and thought the grave was Sorey's name as if he had actually sacrificed himself. Now I understand why he didn't really say goodbye.
Thank you for helping me get it. I dunno why I figured Sorey had sacrificed himself despite that last talk with the few hundred years, etc.
Rose or Alisha would have loved to have had Sorey as a love interest/potential spouse I feel but that couldn't happen.
But at the end of the day he got to hang around ruins with his old pal again, centuries after all of the human friends and possibly Lailah have passed away.
9.5/10 ending the feels. The feels.

I think the fact that it plays pretty much everything completely straight is what brings it down a bit. Thinking back, there wasn't anything in this story that I'd even consider a plot twist aside from
Dezel's
I'll need to give this one another run through but I'd probably say out of all the Tales from this gen it would probably rank near the bottom story wise, probably only above Hearts R. I liked the characters and gameplay quite a bit though.
Doesn't that happen only if you start the interruption with a hidden arte instead of a martial arte?
That can be the biggest downside of staying armatized in certain fights too, because you only have hidden and seraphic artes during armatization.

So I've been using the same piece of equipment i got near the beginning of the game for quite a while and I don't feel the need to change them for newer ones since it'll remove my E and G unions. Almost all my equipment have skills from normins I've been finding and despite almost of the equipment I've been finding having much higher stats, it'll just ruin the skill sheet i have currently. So am I suppose to just use my early game equipment to the end?

Probably a real noon question, but when fusing equipment, what are the skills that appear in blue and the equipment name itself?

Can someone help me out i feel like i have waaaay less artes than usual in early tales games. I only have sonic thrust, shatteringfang and the first one u get. Im on my way to the plague town with Alisha

That means they are locked until you level up the weapon proficiency.

Artes unlock slowly in this game compared to the other Tales.

Ah ok good thought i was under levelled or something. So far its been pretty god. Mikleo is thr coolest character in the party so far he maked the otherwise boring sorey alil better. Alisha is uh...yea idk why there was outrage, she's nothing special.
I was wondering, can you do a lot of title switching to unlock artes faster? Also everyone has learned all their artes for me around level 50 except Lailah is 61 now and still doesn't have Lightning Blast RIP
I've been trying to play as other characters for the trophy, but idk how much you gotta play as everyone. I feel like I should be good on Rose and the wind seraph, maybe Lailah, but Mikleo I've barely touched.
Yeah like halfway through tons of artes unlock so no worries.
Probably could but I didn't bother because every single title learned the same arte from the start, so I just maxed out the beginning title at first. I don't find titles as fun in this game as the other games.
Well. The Earth challenge sure was lackluster.
Something tells me maybe that shouldn't have happened.
I walked to the minotaur(or whatever they're calling him), stealthed with the water thing, attacked and killed it straight away. Making the rest of the dungeon rather empty and pointless, lol.
no thats supposed to happen, you use your skill for each temple to get through it. It's all straight forward.

I really did myself in. I bought Zestiria, Disgaea 5 (both of which I'm 20-30hs into), then Divinity Original Sin, ND collection and have Fallout 4 in mere days..... The thing is, I really like what I've played of Zestiria (so far like it more then Xillia and I platinumed that) but my backlog is so out of hand I can't concentrate on it. Thankfully had a couple of days off work to get Dragon Quest Heros out of the way (great game). Anyone else feel like this? Dam holidays....

I got disgaea 5, and assassin's creed syndicate as well as jus bought this yesterday and battlefront next week..my life is over
Nah, I actually read up on it,
and it(the minotaur) runs away if you don't do enough damage to it. So I actually assume you aren't meant to beat it straight away and its meant to run away a few times before you actually do.

Are skits only shown over save points now? Geez tales of zestria is taking alot of what i loved and changing it alot

Yeah, I'm just trying to get Alisha's Story finished this weekend, then I'll have that out of the way. Still need to finish Talos Principle, and I haven't even played Dragon Quest Heroes yet despite buying it at launch. But that's going to have to wait until after Fallout 4.
Save points, story points, sleeping at the inn, discovery points, and collecting certain story items. Don't worry, there's plenty of skits.

This started in Graces and continued into Zestiria.
This game feels more like a sequel to Graces than Xillia in general. The full body skits, save point and discovery skits only, discoveries in general, the battle system, etc.

Aaah phew thx for that. I love skits, always brings a good time.
Yeah sleeping at inns trigger them the most, so do that a lot.

So i just found Heldalf randomly in some random area afected by malevolence,
Decided to load the game and now i'm in a totally diferent area from where i last saved.
decided to fight him , beat him after a lot of cheesing. so the fights ends and then some random clip pop ups ( i think it is the bad ending) and then i get a message saying " The End"
So basically unless u want to get that don't fight him

The Alisha's Story DLC is pretty good, glad it was free. Game in general has a pretty touching ending but this is good gravy.
Edit: Wait, I'm getting a consistent crash at
in the DLC on PS4,
. Anyone else?
Edit 2: I re-downloaded/installed the DLC and nothing else and it worked now. Well alrighty! Something weird must be going on with the DLC on my system that it even allows that.
Yeah, that's the game's
Pretty weird, didn't get it myself.
Edit: Wait, I'm getting a consistent crash at
just past Galviend Basin by the Rolance Outpost
once the hellion attacks you

"bad ending" and the only alternate ending.
