Raven is my kind of guy. I love the spa antics later in the game.

Quote
Now 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.

Yeah, that's what put Repede over Karol for me. This really is one of the very few RPGs I have ever played where I actually want to play as all the characters in order to hear the banter. In most jrpgs, I just find the obvious best party and stick with that as long as the game lets me.

At first I was kinda bummed, but now I find it kinda neat that this is basically a prettied up Abyss with better characters. It really goes to show you the difference between a good and a great RPG. The mechanics in both games are rather similar, but all aspects of presentation in Vesperia smoke Abyss completely.

Okay, I was wrong about Rita. I kept losing boss fights with her because she had that distinguished mentally-challenged ass skill on that makes you only inflict 1 damage. I didn't realize this until last night because I've been ignoring those. $:-\$

Btw, there are too many fucking weapons in this game!

i'm early in the game, just did the tree/panacea bottle quest but so far, the game is not doing anything new, just little tweaks here and there like weapon skills.

it's basically a tales game in hd, granted i like it but i hope things get better soon.

I blame estelle, I specifically told her to use that angel healing skill but she revived rita with a life potion instead then got killed so we got owned

Please tell me that Vesperia doesn't have long boring cut scenes with slow dialogue. After IU, I don't know if I could take another game with it, especially one that is apparently three times the length.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #141 on:** September 04, 2008, 01:10:42 AM »

Vesperia is perfect awesome, buy it

Rita is ultimate powar

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #142 on:** September 04, 2008, 01:23:06 AM »

vesperia's cutscenes are snappy, well-paced, and feature great VA work -- probably the best i've heard in a localization yet

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #143 on:** September 04, 2008, 01:32:13 AM »

I just use rita for boss fights whenever possible, then just spam fireball or darkness explosion. Outside of overdrive I spam tractor beam ----> darkness explosion. Worse case I just spam her low strike to knock people down over and over and create openings for everyone.

Unless im forced to use Yuri, this has made boss fights fun and ez. I need to gather synth items for the item that lets you switch characters in battle.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #145 on:** September 04, 2008, 01:35:30 AM »

Shes ultimate wizard lesbian power. The AI has no clue how to totally abuse her spell roster haha. I love tractor beam + that darkness explosion spell cause right after they fall back to earth lol AoE explosion knocks em down again.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #146 on:** September 04, 2008, 01:37:40 AM »

you'll get a better spell inna bit -- spiral flame -- that you can spam against tractor'd folks for MEGA damage. plus you'll groove on her dragon slave styled posing when she uses 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

seriously? it was the hardest for me. Tison would come in and fuck own my guys with one combo and shit.

How do you effectively use Rita?

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #153 on:** September 04, 2008, 02:37:54 AM »

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.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #154 on:** September 04, 2008, 02:41:53 AM »

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.

use yuri first and rawdog nan until she drops -- she has like half the hp tison does. make sure ai rita is focusing on him so you can chain final strikes (rita's spells almost always net a fs symbol), and she falls quick. switch to control rita when she falls and start tractoring.

Himu · « **Reply #155 on:** September 04, 2008, 02:42:37 AM »

Oh. So you MAIN Rita? You don't let the AI handle it or use her spells as shortcuts eh?

I forget what tractor beam does?

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #156 on:** September 04, 2008, 02:44:57 AM »

lifts enemies up (where they can get hit by aerials, especially judy's) and then slams to the ground for moderate damage plus they are prone and can take the big otg hits from karol/repede/yuri plus subsequent ground spells.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #157 on:** September 04, 2008, 02:46:50 AM »

I totally Main Rita. I actually get annoyed when I have to use Yuri cause he's just not as awesome.

Himu · « **Reply #158 on:** September 04, 2008, 03:01:21 AM »

So what you guys do is use tractor beam and in mid animation use another spell to blizown the enemy

omg

You just hold down X during the arcane arte to do burst artes. You don't have to wait until the very end.

yes. Mass Effect is good but it is flawed up the ass. The only good sections of Mass effect are the story planets and you can beat those in 15 hours.

Oblivion...Bethesda has never made a good game.

Vesperia is great because it continously brings something new to the table, gameplay and story wise even 50 hours in. The game knows when to switch it up, and the pacing and general polish kicks all next gen rpgs (western or eastern) asses. On top of this, no other next gen rpg currently out has as much depth gameplay wise as Vesperia; sidequest, battle, customization, or skill wise. Furthermore, the game has some of the best art direction this gen period. Some places I just sit there and stare at the visuals. I don't think I've been so impressed with a jrpg's art direction since FFX came out in 2001. The story and characters, while not really being anything particularly new, gravitate towards interesting archetypes, even the characters you'd think would be annoying aren't. Also, Yuri is the best lead in an rpg in a long ass time.

There's lots to like about Vesperia. Most of my complaints are nitpicks if anything else.
