Where does the combat fall in the Tales spectrum? I was looking at picking up a Tales to play. Graces is my favorite game in the series because of the combat alone, and a friend picked this up but said they weren't liking the combat at all. I was also tempted to get Berseria on sale but tried the demo, weird combat and overall super budget feel were putting me off.
It's the deepest and most complex of the Team Symphonia games, but not as deep or combo heavy as Graces. They play real different, but Vesperia is my favourite Tales combat system since I prefer the simpler and more raw gameplay of past titles over the more combo heavy games.
I accidentally entered the Zagi fight at level 5 with only half of my HP and TP going into the fight, but I somehow managed to not die.
Looks like it crashes during this moment:

Gah, I forgot how tough the first few real boss fights can be.
Finally beat giant wolf dude after 5 or 6 tries and am so glad I didn't start on hard difficulty.

For anyone curious that wants portability and disappointed at the (from what I hear) bad Switch performance. This games runs great on the GPD Win 2. getting 40-55 FPS and I haven't tried to optimize anything yet. No vaseline filter included. =)
That boss fight is absurdly difficult made worse that the skills at that time still blow and there's no good way to grind. Plus the 'mystery challenge' adds just another layer of pain.
Seriously, no other boss gave me more hell (even the secret ones). xD
Is it really that bed or some tech-geek hyperbole?
If you really enjoyed Graces, this is gonna feel like a pretty hefty step back.
Some characters (Hi, Judith) actually end up with some really fun and deep combat, but everything is dependent on skills, some of which you will not unlock for a very long time.
It's been a long time since I played Abyss, but I can't remember if the same thing happened in that game or not.
Sometimes in one-on-one fights it feels like Yuri has been right next to an opponent and whiffed an attack because Yuri was facing the opponent at a slight angle instead of head-on? Was this also a thing in Abyss?

Most complaints about Switch performance seem to be aimed at Docked mode; Handheld has performed smoothly for me so far.
So I was downloading the game and it nearly finished (or actually finished? Not sure, I was playing another game), then my entire Switch crashed and had to be reset. Did this happen to anyone else? I heard other reports of the game crashing, but not this specific circumstance.
Played 4 and a half hours in 1 sitting which is a lot for me with my busy life, loving it just as much as back in the day. Ps4 version is beautiful, the sound seems really unbalanced and off though =\
The guy doing the new Yuri lines isn't terrible. By his own merit, even, I'd say he does a good job. It's just that filling Troy Baker's shoes is a BIG task.
Yeah, I noticed that too. I had to tinker the sound settings to make things a bit better.
What settings did you go with?
I lowered the sound effects because I feel like the voice sounds are too low.
It's not press, but tilt left stick + Square, not O. So if you set sandwich on up, you should tilt up + Square.
Lol mine is doing it also and I thought it was super weird. It's bright as fuck in the dark.
The issues is the Switch version runs at an unlocked frame rate outside of combat. So when wandering around in towns or the world map because the uncapped framerate experiences judder.
Both the original 360 and PS3 releases were 60FPS inside battles and 30 FPS outside of battles. The Switch is at a higher resolution than both of those and also has the same 60 FPS inside combat, it's just doesn't have a locked framerate outside which is where the majority of the complaints stem from. A locked 30 outside of combat would have been better rather than the uncapped frames being all over the place.
This is what's showing on my screen. Both the skip and cook buttons are assigned to B somehow. (On PC/Steam.)
[Q
Wish they had something as simple as a saturation bump.on the switch lol.
The game looks so much better with Reshade. Using both Curves and Clarity and all that fog is gone.

Huh, that's weird. I'm on PC too but I use DS4, and cook is assigned to Square. Maybe check your button settings?

fwiw that wolf boss is a ridiculous difficulty spike that isn't repeated in the rest of the game. I still remember that one from when I played the 360 version 10 years ago.
Picked this up on Switch, and I'm absolutely loving it so far.
The combat, the characters, the art style, the music, the story...it's hitting all the right notes for me. The characters and visuals in particular are fantastic. It's really hard to believe this is a 10 year old game. Played about 4 hours so far and I can't wait to play more tomorrow. I can see this being one of my favorite RPGs when all is said and done.

Played for an hour before going to bed.
I had forgotten how charming the game's opening is.
Also I don't remember Zagi being as aggressive in the 360 version.

Are you saying that there is a way to get PS button prompts?
Yes. The game supports DS4 controller natively, so it'll show PS buttons.
In controller settings in big picture mode, turn off the Playstation configuration support. If it's turned on, Steam will emulate XBox controller for your DS4.
I'm only at Deidon Hold but I'm already remembering why I fell in love with Yuri and Estelle. Best protags.
Getting near the area where Gattuso is. Dunno if it's just because I'm coming off here pretty hot from DQ11, but the soundtrack has been a lot better than I remember. The VA switches don't seem to stand out as much as more party members join as well, the first ~hour leaves a rough impression but I'm pretty happy with his overall all things considered.
is their any advantage or point to playing in manual mode? i keep trying it, and i'm accidentally jumping a lot due to the camera angles.
You get more grade per fight on it, it's personally how I've always played the games but YMMV if it makes it feel too clunky or not. I use free run a lot to avoid jumping.
Yes it was great hearing that dialogue again as I was going through the first dungeon. Such a blast from the past playing this.
I'm seeing all these people say it runs great in handheld mode, but I'm playing it exclusively like that it and for me it runs pretty bad when walking around the world map o.O
Am I just more sensitive to framedrops? It's so distracting that I'm honestly considering trading it in to GameStop and picking up the XB1 version to play on my X.

The only framerate analysis currently out shows that it runs worse in handheld mode. Including drops during battle.
Dumb question for anyone playing with Japanese audio and English subs - I've just started the game and I'm playing with English audio, but I'm not a fan of Troy as Yuri (sorry...). I'm worried about missing dialogue during fast-paced scenes if I change languages. I'm used to watching subbed anime, but has anyone had trouble keeping up with the in-game subs? Really tempted to switch.
