Why is there french on the back of my case? Anywho,impressions soonish.
why is it "de" arimasu instead of "ga" arimasu? or did i miss a joke? or am i caring about an unimportant detail?
holy shit synthesis is sooo addicting omfgggg
it's even more addicting because you can learn skills from weapons omfg
It's even more addicting because new synths become available as your synth level increases. OMGotta catch them all.
I just have one thing to say... DO NOT MAKE THE KAROLIAN SWORD FROM YOUR KAROLIAN HAMMER!!! Wait until the Karolian Hammer+1 is available first, then do Karolian Hammer > Karolian Hammer+1 > Karolian Sword > Karolian Sword+1. You only get ONE Karolian Hammer in the game. DO NOT SELL IT.
Im enjoying it a lot. Kinda think some of the reviewers saying the battles are just mashing are missing the point of fights. There's an insane amount of focus on target priority and positioning, not to mention the incredibly crucial and at times, challenging attack/defend/item/move timing. Its not as much of a cinch as they let on.
yup, especially with 16:10 support in the fall update.wait a minute....i could use my pc monitor
i am so dumb...
I have a spare PC monitor, and I'm scared to get rid of it for exactly that reason. It makes a great 360 screen when the TV is "not available".
I love the banter between the main and the girl after battles, I always lol every time
This game is however long you want it to be. You play at your own pace.
Fastest time in the world right now is 7:50. I'm currently at 65 hrs and about 3/4 done. I'm going for the 100hr achievement anyway, and still need to gain another 138 levels for the level 200 achievements (and titles) lulz.
the wolf in ehmead hills just pwned me twice :'(
I'm got my first DRE. :'(
estelle is one annoying bitch. jesus christ when does she stop sucking?She's much better than that annoying broad Collette in Tales of Symphonia.
I'm supposed to be looking for some monster or something to get with this magistrate or whatever. Where am I supposed to find it?Outside the village on the world map. Go to the only forest area that you haven't been to before.
10 hours in at Kiev Moc. Ugh, Karol and Estelle need to GTFO of this game, with Yuri, Raven, and Rita being the only characters.

Fuck you, Karol is the best, you cunt. :heartbeat Karol :heartbeat
I swapped out Rita for Raven, but I'm not sure how much I like him in battle :-/
"that girls blastia crazy!":lol
Raven is my kind of guy. I love the spa antics later in the game.QuoteNow my team is Rita, Estelle, Yuri, and Repede.
That is the exact team I have been using, Repede for stealing, Estelle healing, Rita raping and Yuri just kicking ass.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT PLOT TWIST OH MY GOD
HOLY FUCKING SHIT PLOT TWIST OH MY GOD
What plot twist? What part of the game are you at and how far are you so you don't spoil it for me?
I dont get how people can like Infinite Undiscovery, im back in this thread. The other one is getting weird.If you ever plan on selling it, please let me know before you head back to Gamestop.
I picked this up and probably will get around to playing it after IU. According to the clerk, there was never a limited edition at Gamestop, but I don't think that is true.The LE is only available online at gamestop. That's what I was told.

:lol You'll know it when you see it!
belius: use destruction field to light the candles (and be quick!) when she dupes herself
i think belius is the hardest fight so far
no way, that fight was stupid easy courtesy of rita
you can pull rison out of his dashes with tractor beam, and karol can dish out major otg pain to him with a bunch of his skills while you heap on the spell hurt.
When I'm playing as Yuri, Tractor Beam fucks me off because I can't do shit.

Use the move where he jumps and spins in the air. Works every time.
HOLY SHIT @ THE PLOT TWIST
Rita is the easiest to use. Her sweep melee is stupid effective and her AoE spells are muhahahahha POWAR. If anything id argue its harder to time her burst artes since when spells 'end' is different per spell. I can usually nail her burst with certain spells and not others.You just hold down X during the arcane arte to do burst artes. You don't have to wait until the very end.
So what's the verdict on this game? Worthy of my purchase? I loved Lost Odyssey, will I like this?
Agreed and I loved Lost Odyssey.So what's the verdict on this game? Worthy of my purchase? I loved Lost Odyssey, will I like this?
best next gen rpg thus far.

that dog, that goddamn boss of a dog.
vesperia isn't better then LO.Yes it is. LO was still great though imo.

yes.
i beat him but two of my party members were dead and i don't want that!
oh well, at least i unlocked the secret achievement.
vesperia's cutscenes are snappy, well-paced, and feature great VA work -- probably the best i've heard in a localization yet
umm...did you miss the two naruto games for ps3 and 360? or that dbz fighting game?
hd animu games are beautiful.
What company is this? They own.better localisation than Baten Kaitos: Origins?
Same company :-*
Really? I didn't think they got big jobs. I remember they did Brave Story and he would sort of pimp it out in the thread.
wow, they did. They also did Abyss.
BWAHAHAHHAHAHAspoiler (click to show/hide)Karol in drag
I came[close]
My only complaint is that the text doesn't autoadvance. I like to sit back and watch a cutscene, put the controller down, eat something, etc. And you can't.
That and cutscenes are UNSKIPPABLE.

Also, the story is pretty average and every skit with Estelle/Karol is made out of animu distinguished mentally-challenged (I think I like Lost Odyssey more).
Oh, and every character in this game is annoying except for Judith and Repede.

Yeah, that is a bit annoying. Then again, they are enjoyable to watch so far. With IU I would leave it on and check eb or gaf while that bitch Aya was blabbering on.
btw, can you pause anime cutscenes, or was the intro one the only one and I don't need to worry about it anymore?
And based on the first encounter so far and my past experience with Tales game, I might say the combat in IU is more to my liking, but i'll see how that pans out.
So far I am enjoying it, but it isn't anything special and I don't see what sets it apart from the average Tales game. Characters are good so far, and some of the dialogue is actually pretty funny (like how simple Estelle is), and the story doesn't seem to have a grand goal off the bat. Graphics are decent. Music is pretty bad and made only more noticeable after coming off of IU's amazing music.
Vesperia gets a wolf... IU gets a bear
It is clear who wins
Did Estelle just find a dildo in Rita's drawer?

I have no idea what a burst art is yet. I don't think I ever played a Tales game where a switched the main/starting character up as the person I play as, so I don't think I will start now
I'm just happy that this game levels up those out of your party at the same rate as those in it.
Karol's growth through the game really makes him endearing. He is always the butt of jokes and he's a really funny naive kid. There's some great parts later in the game where Rita beats him up for blurting out stupid shit. I also like how he carries around this massive bag that is about half the size of him. His costume titles are funny as fuck too.
IU combat wasn't only great because it was seamless, but also because I felt it had good flow despite the simple controls. So far Vesperia just feels a bit stiff with the combat and doesn't seem like it lets you be as creative with how you approach a battle. I do really, really appreciate that it lets you go into great detail with how you get your party to act. I haven't found a proper use for it yet, I just know that something like that would have made IU so much better, especially because the assholes in my party kept using my revive items when Edward had revive spells.
And whatever typical style comes from the music in IU is still massive amounts better than music in Vesperia so far. The battle theme is already starting to bother me. Although, I actually did think the intro song was decent enough.Vesperia gets a wolf... IU gets a bear
It is clear who wins
In the battle of cool animals, IU wins hands down.
Vesperia has a pipe smoking ninja dog, which is something that would normally be cool, but in the face of a Norbear? It ain't shit. Norbear is stylin' on Ninja dog.
You can't switch the character that you control in battle early in the game. There's a certain item you have to get/synthesize first.I have no idea what a burst art is yet.

I'm just happy that this game levels up those out of your party at the same rate as those in it.
You can switch characters in the menu between battles by moving the character you want into the first slot. I cant figure out how to effectively use Estelle, but Rita is so OP its helpful to know how to use her.

Is that special item the flag with an S on it? is it worth going back to those ruins to geti t?
I have this in my mailbox. Mmmm. I'm really looking forward to an RPG- How long is it?Long. I've played for 37 hours and according to GAF, I haven't reached the 2/3 mark yet. I think I'm close though.
The pacing is incredible tho, so it never gets boring. I have a lot of trouble putting it down.Same here. More rpgs should be like this.
You should.
no trade ins?
GTA4 blech, good trade in
Spend $5 and export your Rock Band tracks for Rock Band 2 and trade the game in or something (i think that works, right?).
Vesperia would be the best jprg of 2008 if Persona 4 wasn't coming out, but that could suck (doubt it). Right now it is my favorite RPG since Persona 3 and of this gen so far.
it's in the strategy guide
yuri: 21 and 5'11"
repede: 4.5 (31.5 dog years) and 5'6" long
estelle: 18 and 5'5"
karol: 12 and 4'5"
rita: 15 and 4'11"
raven: 35 (:'( how is that old? :'() and 5'11"
judy: 19 and 5'9": 22 and 5'9"spoiler (click to show/hide)let's fuck[close]
THE MOAR U KNOW
yeah later I guess, ive been to where it is but it hasnt opened up for me. Im only 25 hours in thoI thought you were ahead of me? Maybe I got you confused with Drinky.
god, this game is huge. i just got to the blade drifts of zopheir, and i STILL haven't gotten the "end of act 2" achievement. geezus!I thought you were ahead of me too. I guess I played it longer than I realized this past weekend. I'm at the same place after playing for 37 hours. I'm gonna try some of the sidequests later on, so I think I'll finish at 60+ hours.
I GOT NEW 360 CABLES
I just upgraded to s-video!
I just got a Universal S-Video cable from gamestop along with Yakuza 2. It hooks up to ps2, 360, and wii (lol). All I have to say is WOW
WHAT A DIFFERENCE!
They are all in boss fights. Normally, if you do what you're supposed to do, there'll be a quick cutscene mid-fight and it will say "Great!". I think the only fight where this doesn't happen is the first one. Besides that, there are about two or three boss fights that don't have secret missions, but all the other ones do.
Any party tips? I'm using Yuri, Estelle, Repede and Rita. I kinda wanna swap in the Monster Huntin' guy (Karol?) for Repede, but I just like Repede. Thoughts?
Is the AI good about using it?Yep. Sometimes he uses it a bit too much, but it's more helpful than Karol's healing aid smash. And if you keep using it, he'll eventually start shooting 2-3 arrows instead of just 1.
is there any reason why my judy and rita only inflicting 1 hit point damage on the enemies? it's happened right after the Colosseum part or so, now i am in the desert and it's still the same.Yeah, check your skills.
did i equip some sort of curse skill or something?
Now in the desert.yea
Judith. <3 <3 <3 Do you ever get to go to Judith's city?
I just got past mt temza. I am wondering how much longer this game will last. Only one part has been boring and that was the Belius stuff. Other than that it has been amazing.
Just got to Capua Nor. zomg oceans i love oceans in games. So fun, I am in love with this game. Zagi on the boat wasd a cheap-ass boss, he just kept juggling my entire team.
Just started my second playthrough. Going for the 15 hour achievement :hyper

Ehmead Hill and the Zagi boss fights are the hardest ones in the game, so far. Everything else has been somewhat easy.
21 hours in.
Was Ehmead Hill the wolf boss? if so, I died twice on that bastard. Zagi was pretty easy.
There's tons packed away in Vesp. You get as much as you put in.
So how much more of the game do I have left?spoiler (click to show/hide)Just arrived at Zaude[close]
When does the city underwater in the northwest rise up? I wanna access all that crap
I couldnt finish the dog marking quest drove me nuts.How do you do this and what do you get from it? I already met Repede's rival.
Repede has a rival? I haven't used a single tent or anything like that. What am I really missing out on?Go to the docks in one of those Capua towns, don't remember which one.
oh shit, poker, must resist gambling habitsDo not resist! You get an achevement for winning 100,000 in total in poker. Also, you need to win like 600,000 chips if you want all the prizes. When you get the 3 most expensive items, you get a new title and a costume for Judith.
How do I complete the 4th guild quest. I went back to the manor of the wicked but now what? Who is Yu....guild quest?
I need a good healer
Rita's costume reward for getting her degree is uhhhhCombine it with the devil wings and it's perfect. :lol
Woo finally!
Both the last titles became available around the same time - one before Undine, and one right after.
I beat the game last weekend and am not sure what I should be doing at this point if I want to keep playing. I have waaay insufficient GRADE for a kick-ass replay.This is what I plan to do since I beat all the giganto monsters earlier. You can't access the bonus dungeon on your first playthrough.
I think I need to get and unlock the fell weapons, then go grind Grade using Rita for a few hours?
Also, use this time to uncover the whole map for an achievement
The twists wont blow you away that much or make the game suck, if thats what youre worried about.
there are no real twists
are there any good guides for fell weapons and giganto monsters?
haha, you think you get costumes at 600,000, thats cute. Its like you just wandered into a JRPG bonus-quest land for the first time. ITS GONNA GET EXPENSIVE PALWhat do you have to do after you pay the 600,000?
I think it's just pay 300,000 first time, 600,000 second time, and then you get in for free after that. But there is a decent time delay in between the three parts.Oh, that's why I couldn't get in.
I just wanted to get it over with because I couldn't bear the thought of looking at Estelle's stupid fucking face for, like, 20 more hours. So I set the difficulty to easy and powered the fuck through it.
I'd buy another Tales of... game. It's, like, really catchy animu trash, but in videogame form.
@ gilloD - Sunken parking garage is a stupid mini-game town that you can only access after the final dungeon appears.
beat it, last boss so easy.Did you get all the fell arms?
Someone spoil the 3rd act, I didn't bother finishing it. What's the "8"? What's the twist? What's the parking garage? Who's the last boss? Do tell. How's it all end?

Grade farming :'(Yeah, I tried that for while. Then I said fuck it and went and beat the last boss.
Took me 210 game hours... and about a month worth's of playing??? Wait a sec, 210 hours in a month divided by 4 weeks is 52.5 hours per week. :o Jesus dude. Thanks for the links though
It's all I played. I don't really juggle games.

So the PS3 version is getting extra content?Can't read the main text (too small!!!), but it does confirm 1 new character. Hardly exciting, if you ask me. :\
Jansen, is that thespoiler (click to show/hide)shrine where you raise/lower the water levels and then fight Alexei?[close]
If so you have 6-10 hours left depending on the subquests you do.
I like Abyss's cast better for the most part, but :heartbeat Rita :heartbeat
whoops forgot that his blastia was powered by his own lifeforce
what i need to do is some grade farming. luckly i have another save b/f the last boss so i should be able to leave and do some
blah blah blah tidal wave!
