I figured he was working for the Empire, but didn't think he was Schwann. It wasn't as big a deal as it should have been, since we knew jack all about Schwann to begin with.
Alright, 2/3 point reached. Awesome.
And WOW at Secret Mission 17, how the hell is that possible...

first off, a guard break is a split second. On top of that, it's hard to even notice. What the hell. Seriously. I even set it on easy to try and see how sitting back waiting to strike went, along with setting the AI on full attack to hopefully guard break him, but it's too fucking hard to time. It's almost complete luck to fire just before it gets broken.

I looked up the achievement for that, realized I already was in battle with the wrong characters, shrugged, and just beat him.Id. said:

The best missions are the ones that have an appreciable effect on your battle.LiquidMetal14 said:

seriously... i didnt expect him to be schwann... the plot twist of him working for the empire only "half" threw me off... him being schwann threw me the fuck off... but him being a walking corpse i kind of expected it... especially with his knowledge of everything, knowing duke and that comment he made about "pride and blah blah blah means nothing to a dead man"... it just cemented it all... he reminded me of auron from ffx... in fact throught the entire time he was just a goofy version of him IMO... dah well im in halure now after passing through the ice... i wonder if im near the end of the game.

God I can't take the game serious whenever it starts playing that circus music...
Yuri is such a fucking badass :lol
He just seems to be the complete opposite of most jrpg lead characters, and that's probably why I'm liking this game so much.
Also,
I've only played about 20+hours now, but it's already becoming one of my fav jrpg's.
I was like woah, when he up and killed the guy(forget his name) on the bridge in Dahngrest(sp?).
Also,
the seduction part in Helliord was some funny shit. Especially Judith's costume

At least with Fatal Strikes and stuff it's a lot easier to get grade in this game. I'm hardly ever negative in grade and each boss fight usually gives me more than 20. In the old games I was negative half the time =PSpruchy said:
Onto Fatal Strikes again, if I press the LB button as Yuri Rita is doing Spread to get a fatal strike glyph, will she do the fatal strike? Also, how come I see a flash so often but can't do a fatal strike?

according to my friend he just saw a Vesperia commercial.
huh.
huh.
Ok, I ended up getting this game along with my 60GB Xbox 360 today. First impression of the game is that the gameplay is very clean and the graphics are quite nice. It just feels very solid, almost great at times. Still not a huge fan of the super deformed characters, I much prefer the animated cutscenes' artstyle, but I can overlook that.
I'm still wondering if I made the right decision between this and IU though.

Got a couple hours in so far but I was wondering around what level or hours you have to clock in to start getting the skills needed to do some linkable artes into overlimits?Also are there any moments where the AI members are completely unresponsive and idiotic or is it relatively good for most of the game?

So I just beat the game two nights ago. I guess I was overpowered because the last boss was a push over. So I had some plot questions if anyone could answer:
Seriously, did nobody know that Sodia stabbed Yuri? The dialogue in the game gets awkward often and I have a hard time knowing what the crap they're even talking about. But this really confused me. Everyone is watching Yuri at the top and then Sodia either has to run past them into their view to stab him. Not only that, the fool flies off the top and into the water and NOBODY manages to see Sodia at the top there with the bloody dagger on the ground? This doesn't piss me off or anything, I'm just curious.
My second question would be what happens to Yeager's two little girls? It's probably a side quest I didn't do. But the last time I saw them was when I killed Yeager. Then they just ran off.

So where the hell is the manor of the wicked? Seriously, the game says "Go east of dahngrest", but I can find nothing outside of a pile of stones in a meadow.
Nevermind, I found it. It's to the f*cking west, not the east (despite the fact that the log CLEARLY states EAST). I recall Raven mentioning West, I suppose, but I don't see why they would note the wrong direction. That's kind of annoying...

This is slightly OT but I figure most of the Tales fans in here would be interested: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=10149

Maybe if you go far enough EAST you will get a sort of dummy achievement :O. That is messed up that they would word that wrong though.dark10x said:So where the hell is the manor of the wicked?

The top of Ehmead Hill was absolutely gorgeous. The game has a weird look at times-- like the textures are very plain or blurry and have that gourad shading look at times-- but man, when the screen is bursting with color and effects, the art style just matches what they're doing visually so well and it's GORGEOUS.
They textures are designed to look like a painted backdrop and I think it succeeds very nicely. They only go for sharp patterns when it is fitting, but in general, they try to avoid any hard edges. The same technique was used with Symphonia on Gamecube (though not to the same level of quality, of course).Y2Kev said:

It's annoying, you have to leave the town from the east, but then you basically go west the whole time.:lol

Have shortcuts for the Etelles healing spells. And keep and eye on your meter to use the bigger moves as much as you can. I have Estelle heal almost the entire match, keep an eye on here TP. And a few levels might not hurt.2DMention said:
So what was that weapon you were after in the last dungeon, My Arms? I think the Japanese name was Fuurinkazan (Warrior's pride or something?). I found it. If you go up the middle section from the start, then back outside of the tower, you go up, up, up, quite some way. Then there are some steps going back down again, to the left, with one of the grasshopper enemies. It's in a chest there. I think it's easy to miss the fact that there are steps going down there.
Hold off on all Grade Farming until Rita gets Tidal Wave. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7Kkaa1RdVwSpruchy said:
So I guess I'm behind most of you guys in this thread. I played 6 hours yesterday and I am really enjoying this one. It's just so charming.
The combat has been so addictive. It's one of the first RPGs where I go around looking for fights every couple steps cuz they're always so much fun. mixing up the combos and the artes is great. And the post battle quips are also great. my favorite is between Estelle and Rita:
E: Put your hand up
R: Like.. this?
E *jumps up and slaps hand* yay!
R: wha... what was that?
very cute. I like how it refers back to an earlier cutscene between her and Yuri.
I'm switching back and forth between this one and Infinite Undiscovery. the difference in style is pretty jarring. I may have to put IU down for a couple days and focus only Vesperia. I'm enjoying IU but I'm more vested in Vesperia's story and combat right now.
It also doesn't help that Vesperia uses A as power attack and b as quick attack, whereas IU uses A as quick attack and B as power attack.

Can someone teach a half-retarded gamer how to pull off Fatal Strikes? I just got the tutorial, but in the dozens of battles after, I can't seem to pull off a single colored-glyph thingie on an enemy to use one. I try regular attacks, and damn near every Arte Yuri has and nothing.
