Diligence is it's own reward.
Honestly, Vesperia since it's not tied to another game but it really doesn't matter.

I imagine this was present in the PS3 version, but did anyone else notice they changed the music when
Not a fan: Around the World rendered that moment so heartening, and the ship theme reduces that to "just another scene".
Karol returns after the Don's death?

Around the World is legit great, I feel like I remember hearing it far more in the original version.
The new boss theme when facing the
was great!

Anyone playing this on Xbox One X can tel me if the framerate is 60 fps at all times or only during battles like the deva said.
What is the deal with the difficulty jump here? I'm fighting this wolf boss on normal difficulty at level 15 and I'm getting the shit kicked out of me and I can barely get off 25% of his health. I must be missing a mechanic.
That boss is just well known to be a random difficulty spike for some reason. The rest of the game isn't like that.
Some suggestions:
- Defeat the small wolves first
- Use fire attacks, since they are weak to fire. Set Rita to only use fireball, and as Yuri use destruction field a lot.
- Make liberal use of free run to dodge attacks and get yourself in safe positions, especially when the small wolves are still alive. Don't be TOO cautious though. Sometimes cornering them and pummeling them until they are stunned is the best defense.
- FYI, it's possible to cancel the end lag your attacks with forward free run, from there you can guard or do your free run attack. This allows you to guard more quickly at the end your combos.
If all else fails, just set the difficulty to easy for this one fight.
Thank you for this. I'm able to kill the small wolves pretty quickly. I'll set Rita to only use fireballs, that's a good suggestion. I'd rather not drop the difficulty down but also am enjoying the game. I just grinded two more levels as well so hopefully that'll be enough.
Patty is great. I didn't use her much when I originally played this on X360, so I'm keeping her in the party much more often this time around. She's a very charming character.
Are you absolutely sure about that? Because I'd swear I remember her.
Patty was definitely not in the original version. She made a sort of early cameo in the Capua Torim lighthouse with a hat that had half her name written on it, but that's it.
Freezapls~
They still kept that message in the Definitive Edition.
she's who I'm maining this time.
free run + critical + normal attack is crazy good. technically Advanced also does the same move you just aren't as fast, but you can pretty easily keep two enemies pinned down on the ground in critical mode with that since her dive bomb just slams them to the ground and they take a while to get up lol.
Also a huge fan of variable trigger on brainiac since that will also pin down an enemy and most enemies after 3 hits of it are final strike green broken so you just auto kill them.
PS3 version added patty and flynn as party members
Thats not the same as saying she was in the 360 version

I tried fighting a boss as Flynn, was getting destroyed, fought it as Yuri, destroyed it.
Flynn is a great AI ally though.
She said she received something to reverse her age, but didn't specify what it was.
A little past Mantaic (just finished the Manor) and can I just say
Also I feel like 60% of the dialogue, at least in the first half of the game, has been justifying why different members of the party are sticking around. "Oh, I want to go do this thing on my own... well I guess I'll stay!" "Me too!"
I'm overall really enjoying the game, it's just hard for me to suspend my inner critic with the plot as much as I could with Symphonia as a kid.
Is anyone else pretty grossed out with Yuri's actions? It's weird that all of these polls online are like "Who's the best Tales character??? YURI!!!!" at least from the point in the the story that I'm at.
Like, he killed two people - granted, they were shitty people and the corrupt government probably wouldItn't have fully punished them for their own crimes, but if you think murdering those people is the best solution to that problem I don't really know what to tell you. It's this bizarre tonal shift in a game where so much of it is about this group of happy-go-lucky friends bopping around the countryside. He doesn't even seem to have any remorse! And the game presents it pretty straight, like "Yuri had to make the tough choices but he's right" - it's such 13-year-old logic, lol.
I'd honestly be cool with an ending to the game where Yuri goes to jail for the murders and Estelle is in recovery after being convinced to roam around the world with this charismatic serial killer. Does Yuri have some big redemption arc later on in the story or is this just treated as like "He murdered some people in cold blood but eh, it's fine!"

i got flight and I've been overwhelmed with optional stuff so I moved on to other stuff but it's amazing.
An FS chain is just whenever the FS prompt appear, when it does you do NOT use the Fatal Strike on the enemy.
FS chaining is easier done whenever you'll end up grade farming with Rita.
As mentioned, you want to keep playing. But boiling them down merely as "shitty people" is a bit of an understatement. One of them is literally feeding children to his pet monsters and 100% would have continued to do so. You're probably not going to get the kind of nuance really needed to properly tackle this moral dilemna out of an older Tales game, unfortunately, but it is addressed later on.
Ok I don't get fatal strike. This tutorial and battle book description is fairly vague on how to get the magic circle to appear?
Most arte's in their descriptions will display either a red, green or blue arrow(red are down striking artes, green forward, blue upward) which determines what color magic circle you can get onto the enemy by continually using artes of that color on them. When you target an enemy you can see their bars for each color, it starts full and you want to deplete on color entirely to trigger the magic circle to do the fatal strike, after successfully doing a fatal strike all bars reset to full on the enemy. Certain enemy types are easier to get certain FS's on, for instance beast type monsters are vulnerable to green FS's, aquatic to blue FS's, etc. so use artes with the green arrow on beasts and blue on aquatic. Depending on your goal for the battle this isn't always advisable, as using certain color FS's on different enemy types results in different rewards(more gald/XP/drop rate), you have to check the battle book for details on which FS's trigger which reward for each enemy type.
They all have 2 mystics artes yes. Yuri and Flynn has 3. 2 mystic artes like everyone else and the 3rd one is a dual mystic arte.

Got it. I ended up killing normal dudes too quickly which is why the tutorial was deceptive.
Another way to rack FS chains is to set either Min/Quarter/Half Damage skills so you don't end up killing enemies quickly. Although FS chains is more for grinding Grade points as a connected Fatal Strike will immediately kill the enemy besides bosses.
Grinding for money/XP/drop rate is better off with Patty once you have the appropriate skills.
Where do you get the Sorcerer's Ring Lvl. 4? I have heard you need to it to access the Fell Arms sidequest to get the true final battle but I can't find it yet and I'm about to fight the final boss.
- Go back to Myorzo to see the Elder, he should give you the first Fell Arm called "Abyssion"
- Visit one of those weird rock formations on the overworld, they're Aer Krene. There should be 4 of them, one of them should have Judith's spear called Zurich.
- After getting Zurich, stay in that area and you'll notice you can enter the aer krene, check around until you can get a cutscene where you'll upgrade your sorcerer ring to LV4
- You can now visit any other aer krene and with your newly acquired LV4 ring you can blast away the rubbles blocking the entrances, any of them (beside the one where you got LV4 ring) should upgrade your ring to LV5, the final level.
