![]() The localization mistakes towards the end of the game were a bit weird though.Īnyway I hope they can keep up this writing quality for the next one. Velvet and Magilou's VAs specifically did a great job. ![]() The voice acting, at least for the English dub, was amazing. There were a few solid tracks though, such as the theme of the final dungeon as well as Velvet and Zaveid's theme. I wish we could at least get a little more variety in future games. Also it sucks that SO MANY of the dungeons had the same music. Way too many open green fields, or dark caves. Speaking of dungeons.whew, they really do need to work on this. It was weird getting like 35 Amber Swords through battles though, I never even bought weapons for a lot of the game because I knew that I would just find them among the drops in the next dungeon. The equipment system was okay, better than what I saw in Zestiria anyway. I unfortunately didn't really play around with a lot of the other characters, but I did play some of Eleanor and she was quite fun. I enjoyed battles, but it definitely could get a little button-mashy at times, especially if you play Velvet. ![]() I really did bond with the characters and the ending hit me like a ton of bricks. The skits did well at fleshing out the characters, much better than other Tales games, but I wish they were a bit more spread out I felt after certain story events sometimes they put 2-3 skits in a row and considering how long they are that's a bit overkill. ![]() Eleanor was definitely the last character I warmed up to but I absolutely loved her by the end of the game. This game really hit all the high notes for me, mostly in terms of story and the characters. I got a few hours into Zestiria but never finished it and I never had a 360 to play Vesperia. I've played Symphonia, Legendia, Abyss, Graces, Xillia 1/2 before this. Overall I think this is my favorite Tales game. Ok, phew, got that off of my chest finally and feel better hahaīravo to the developers and I'll know keep a watchful eye on their next effort! It will be a boon right off the bat to not be a cross-gen game.īeat the game yesterday but was too busy to write impressions until tonight. That BIIIIEEEENNN with tears crap non-stop and the other crying virtually every time she was on the scree, sometimes for the most stupid of reasons. Who the hell thought these were good choices for VAs? So so so incredibly jarring to a degree I don't feel one could be hyperbolic when slandering them p I mashed the button quickly to skip past their talking scenes as soon as I finished quickly reading what they said. Oh, my main complaint besides some overly long, plain fields is that Bienfu and the demon girl are up there for the most annoying characters in any game I've played. The final boss battle managed to take out a couple of my guys when mystic arts were semi-spammed and thus I learned the majesty of life bottles ha On a humorous note, I didn't figure out Life Bottles rezzed you until the final boss battle lol I assumed right away that that's what they did but then I read the description and it said something about curing all status ailments so I was like "huh" and as the game was so easy on Normal, I didn't have opportunities where I needed to rez people through out the game to test it. Late in the game I quite bothering in favor of keeping higher stat equipment on. I also liked the FFIX-esque learning system with equipment though I had that same annoyance I have with Materia in FFVII which is that I hate having my stats take a hit to equip something new. All the more so as it feels earned from your time with these characters.Īs I've only played Symphonia and Abyss prior to this, the game play was fun and different from what I'm used to in JRPG fare. While all didn't resonate with me equally, there were some emotionally packed scenes and the one in particular everyone here agrees on is a particularly powerful moment. Story and characters are the two most important qualities for me in RPGs and as I quite enjoyed both, I think I'd go as far as saying I loved this game. The lines where she's injecting warmth into her words were especially enjoyable. Eleanorfinally grew on me, there wasn't a single primary party member I didn't like.
