After a little encouragement from the guy across the hall (and a few grindin' levels)

I rocked him with some Overlimit and Destruction Field

now at Heliord on the way to wherever

I played Settlers of Catan for like two or three hours today with friends. Good time.

After seeing all 7 Mystic Arts, I gotta say that in terms of how awesome the attack animation looks, they go like so:
Raven > Repede > Rita > Yuri > Judith > Estelle > Karol.

Also, I'd just like to say:
I hate Karol so fucking much and wish he would just die already.

Just beat ToV.

[Spoiler for Dunno, possible spoiler for end game, click to show]I feel kinda ripped off, but kinda not.
The ending felt incomplete. >_>
Could've been so much more, but it wasn't. Oh well. The entire game made up for the crappy ending.

[Spoiler for ToV, click to show]I'm not sure what more you wanted from the ending, except maybe a boss battle with the Adephagos itself. Though I guess it depends on what you consider the ending.

Are you gonna do a New Game+? <_<

Of course. >_>
Currently Grade farming so I can buy the Grade Shop goodies. Only have 4.4k grade so far. Got a 2,000 hit combo in the process of grade farming XD

The grade item I want the most is the All Skits option >_>
I love those so fucking much and want to see them ALL. I missed out on A LOT of them.

Roughly half way through the game, I ditched using Yuri for Rita. Because the AI sucks so much ass using Mages >_>

Also. "BLAHBLAHBLAH! TIDAL WAVE!!!". >_> <_<
XD

[Spoiler for ToV Ending, click to show]Yeah, that might've been better, actually fighting the Adephagos or something. But. I was thinking more a long the lines of closure. What did each character do afterwards? Etc.

Rita definitely sucks unless you either 1) play as her yourself or 2) turn off all but one spell. For my first game (Normal difficulty), I used only Fireball. At 3000 uses, she was firing 10 Fireballs with each cast and dealing way more damage than any other spell. And it became really difficult to dodge. And a couple skills I gave her made each hit possibly a critical, and possibly a stun. For Unknown difficulty I started using Tidal Wave only, because it's way more important to keep enemies locked for a few seconds than do extra damage.

In either case, if you just let Rita cast whatever she wants, she'll suck. <_<


[Spoiler for ToV, click to show]Yeah, that might've been better, actually fighting the Adephagos or something. But. I was thinking more a long the lines of closure. What did each character do afterwards? Etc.

Well, you can pick up on some of that from the credits sequence. But yes, it would have been nice to have something definitive.

The problem with her AI is that, no matter what settings she's on, she'll run up to fucking MELEE enemies A LOT of the time.

Other then Fireball (For single targets), I've ONLY used Tidal Wave and Meteor Swarm. Meteor Swarm is fucking RAPE if you spam it and use Tidal Wave lock.
I used that tactic against the final boss. I got 200k damage chain at only 50 hits >_>
Meteor, Meteor, Tidal Wave. Rinse, repeat, rape.

These are the reasons why I switched to using her. She's waaaaaay more fun to play as anyway.
Plus. The AI can use Yuri better then I can. >_>
Sad isn't it?

[Spoiler for ToV ending, click to show]Wait, what? Those were the continuing? Lame. I didn't pay attention to those. I thought they were concept art >_>

Unlike Estelle, she only does that for me if her TP gets really low. And when she was on Fireballs only, her TP never dropped below, like, 90%.

Although, I also gave her a skill called... Liner Shot or something like that. It converts her basic melee attack into a ranged attack. So that helped a bit too.


[Spoiler for ToV, click to show]Wait, what? Those were the continuing? Lame. I didn't pay attention to those. I thought they were concept art >_>

No, they were all stuff that happened afterwards. Like one of them showed Yuri in the Lower Quarter, pumping water to the fountain without using a blastia. <_< However, don't expect any conclusive answers for any of the big questions.

She did that all the time for me >_>
Setting was on full TP usage, yet with max TP she'd love to run up and smack the crap out of the enemy, only for it to turn around an OHKO her most cases.

[Spoiler for ToV ending, click to show]I just ignored them because I thought they were concept art. I did look at a few though, and it seemed to confirm that they were concept art.

If you look through them, one of them has Repede, with his left eye perfectly fine and without the pipe >_>
</spoiler>


[Spoiler for Possible Repede spoilers, click to show]One of the things that greatly annoyed me, was how little Repede got in terms of backstory. Yeah, I got the scene in Aurnion between Repede and Flynn, but. It'd be nice if there was more.

Yeah, he got the short end of the stick there. Though he IS a dog. <_<

Did you get the Repede related sub-events at the traveling inn?

I DID miss A LOT of side quests though. >_>

Here's a question. Does Repede get any costume titles? O_o
Somehow I doubt it, what with being a dog. >_>

Yeah, most people do.

For your next playthrough, I'd recommend following this guide:

I haven't completed my new game+ file yet (stupid final dungeon) but so far that guide has worked perfectly. <_<

Sadly, he does not.

Holy SHIT. I just beat the third form. DUDE THAT IS RAPE.

I did it on easy and he RAPED me. Fucker chose to use his Mystic Arte while all my characters were in close proximity... And then followed up with an ability which raped them all ._.
He did that TWICE :(

After managing to beat him the third time (Treat and Specific = GOD ITEMS) and unlocking the Fel Arms, jesus christ.
The Fel Arms are raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaape.

Yuri's boosts his patk to 2.6k o_o
Rita's boosts her matk to 2k >_>;

Whoo.

[Spoiler for Ex Dungeon, click to show]It took over a combined total of about 6 hours to get the Fake Gald needed to fight the final boss. -_-
I set it on Hard and beat him easily :/
Level 90 Rita + over powered Fel Arm + Over limit + Meteor Storm = HAXD.

Then I went on to do the 200 man melee challenge, on Normal difficulty and beat it. That was sooooooo fucking fun!
This time I used Tidal Wave spam >_>

Nice to see that they threw in some old characters from past tales games. I don't know what game the Queen of Sorrow, or the Killer Of Heroes are from, but the Time Traveler was SO obviously Dhaos from Phantasia >_>

Now that I've completed significantly more of ToV, I went back and looked at some of Kenri's posts

god damn it sounds like he sucked at the game

Seriously, you go into Overlimit with Yuri and then use Azure Edge? Come on, it's all about the Shining Fang/Dragon Swarm

also lol at some of his troubles with Giganto bosses. They were pretty easy <_<

[Spoiler for shut up MS, click to show]Hey, don't knock it, it worked. ...Usually. Plus Azure Edge in Overlimit does stupidly huge amounts of damage. If Shining Dragon Swarm had been anywhere near comparable in sheer damage, I'd have used that instead.

But yeah, some of those Giganto bosses were just stupid. <_<

...Anyway, I destroyed Alexei without even slight effort, and he's supposed to be a moderately hard boss, so I'm at least mediocre at the game. >_>

did you get the Secret Mission for [that boss] though

[That boss] wasn't really hard, the only thing that was kind of difficult was getting him to use his Mystic Arte enough so that he would stagger long enough for me to hit him

And who gives a shit about damage, it's all about the combos. Hell, I usually take off skills that increase damage if I can get some sweet Combo Plus and Super Chain skills going. Also Light Magic for Rita <_<

hey, how about that spoilers without warning. sure do wish spoiler tags could be edited into posts!

Anyway, I agree that he's not hard, but the ToV board on GameFAQs does not. So yeah.

Also combos don't matter at all. <_< They're for bragging rights and GRADE farming, and for keeping Unknown difficulty enemies from kicking your ass. On Normal difficulty I'll take damage over combos ever single time.

Destruction Field + OVer-limit beats most things. Not as uber as Overlimit + Tidal Wave, but still.

More like combos are for the Tension skills which mean Burst Artes and Mystic Artes which means more damage

besides, I'm pretty sure everyone who is going to play the game on this board has played it already

and Normal mode is fucking easy anyway, I'll have to play Hard mode next time just to give normal enemies some challenge and some more HP so they don't die in a few hits

Plus, it's all about the Grade. Doesn't matter if you're farming or not, I want more Grade.
