Oh, I didn't ask what I wanted in the spoiler part, heh. I wrote out something else and didn't remove the spoiler tags.
It's just the sheer amount of HP damage being done even when blocking. However, I am Grade Grinding on my first file to carry over all my shit, which has all abilities like recover immediately after an attack, faster dodge+parry, no knock backs, etc so that I can be faster in evading and dealing damage so as to not give the enemies a chance to counter if I do my attacks right. So yeah basically if I didn't use the Overlimit+Burst+Myst, I would do a standard combo, and during the recover period I would get whammied and have to retreat for a second.
Well actually, it was more when there was a mob of 4 or more enemies and I was just getting ganged up on. Those battles were the real issue, and I'd have to rely on magic casters more for initial waves, and protect them when mobs got too close. But again, once I carry over my stuff from my Normal playthrough, Hard should be pretty standard.
New Overlimit stuff - you mean the duo system? Or that there's 4 levels of OL? Either way, the Mystic arte stuff really owns.

There's the thing, you only want to block so much, at some point you want to back step or freerun to look for an opportunity. You gotta fight a little more strategic with hit and runs. Meanwhile, huge encounter links - Bad. They're pretty damn smart on hard, especially human enemies. They'll intentionally team up on you or some other character.
On the OL side of things, I mean that the ability to do skills/magic with zero delay via OL is what makes things extremely cheesy. Not to mention, if you deal enough damage, you can retrigger OL midcombo. There's videos out there of Rita just spamming Tidal Wave over and over.

Well about blocking, sometimes I do the hit+run, but there is a delay after the combo where I need to recover for a second and the enemy attacks before I can get away. I guess I could do small combos with no recovery and run after that. However, there are some enemies where you can't outrun them (even with Yuri/Repede) and they have long ass range. For bosses I would run around around them in a "pinwheel" style to get them to "attack" and miss, and then attack when they were exposed, and then bail. This works on earlier bosses, and enemies, but it doesn't work later on.
Oh yeah, being able to spam in OL is great, and if you have the skill equipped, you regain OL - that's what I was doing on bosses.

What I'm saying is if they're saying your particular order is sent to the warehouse you can be fairly certain it's shipping.
It would read backorder if they didn't have a copy.
Not that's a different story. You could be fucked there. Who knows. I'd call.

Ah, you can call to be certain. If Buy has it in their warehouse, they'll be able to tell right away. If it's another vendor who actually stocks the item, then that might be a pain to track down to get an answer right away.
TSA said:
On the bosses, that's mainly the key. IE
in an unknown video against Estelle. Where BTW she deals insane damage. Guy literally just waited for her to whiff even before using an item or attacking.
Here's a nice unknown video to watch for some ideas.

Sounds a lot like ToA. The problem with melee in ToA is that the AI was terrible. How is it in ToV?
Also, in ToA you had a CLEARLY superior melee character (Guy) that made the other one totally useless.
Right, just sticking out my head here .... so if megaflamathon erupts that'll be the last time i add rumors to GAF period ...
Had a Square meeting today, Infinite Undiscovery, units and so on. Right after vthe official talks were over i pitched a repress of FFVII, FFVIII, and FFIX. The company i work with had arranged for represses of those titles in the past and i was certain the units i would need would please Sqaue in doing such a re-run.
Long story short, they declined in doing a re-run. Price was not an option, they were not interested. In short, all three titles were in a locked deal as a downloadable [shock horror]. Here comes the juicy part, supposedly not just for PSN.

One thing though. If you didn't like Tales Of The Abyss/Symphonia stay far, far away from this game.
I personally loved both and Vesperia is looking to be even better already. But it's mostly the same thing in HD. Talking to Himuro mostly. Do not play this game. You will hate it.
Just reached the second city after getting Karol. The game is just awesome. And lol
I get surprised each game.

WONDER CHEF!!!!
Interesting FF news but ya, wrong thread. Anyway, back on topic!
Game is beautiful! Picked it up this afternoon from my local Gamestop after being on the fence about it for awhile before release and after playing it for abit I am solidly hooked. Yet another one of those games where the demo just did not do the game justice. The starting city and characters are just gorgeous and it's clear the Tales team took the extra horsepower of the 360 to really bring their art and design to the next level. It really does feel like a "next gen" tales of Symphonia, which pleases me mightily. I am going to have alot of fun with this one.

Just sticking my head in to make sure of something real quick before heading back to Vesperia.
Are there any "big" things you can miss in Vesperia? Collector's Book, etc.

Not only does Phantasia sucks, but it sucks even harder on GBA.2DMention said:

Phantasia is an absolutely wonderful game, but it has aged quite a bit. I'd recommend starting with Eternia perhaps, and then moving onto Symphonia and Abyss, then perhaps backtracking to Phantasia before enjoying Vesperia.
Of course that's an awful lot of Tales to be going through, but I think it's more difficult to enjoy the previous Tales games without some respect for the series to begin with. Playing Eternia (2D) and perhaps Abyss (3D Free-Run) would give you a good deal of experience with how the series has evolved.
