Karol controls horribly. Jesus christ. I had to set the difficulty to Easy during the Ghost Ship so the monsters wouldn't beat my ass.

I already feel the combat has been opening up. The only thing I wish was that more elaborate combat wasn't based on using MP (or whatever they call it). At least you are constantly getting it back by hitting enemies and all that.

ha, I just realized that the last RPG I liked this much came out this same time last year (Persona 3).

August for JRPGs

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.

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.
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 know, I said between battles. I rarely switch characters in battle even with the option. Rita > *

Is that special item the flag with an S on it? is it worth going back to those ruins to geti t?

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #244 on:** September 08, 2008, 01:35:35 AM »

I never use it, and ive had no problem with any battles. Im not sure i've game overed yet, maybe early game I did...oh yeah once on 'the wolf fight' (you'll know it when you get to it), not since.

Good. I wasn't going to go back anyway.

And I did come close to dying in the initial battles when it was just Yuri. I rely on a healer to get me through these situations so I can focus on fighting.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #247 on:** September 08, 2008, 01:53:05 AM »

Reviews lie about how this game is a masher 'like the other tales games'. You cant even mash in the first Yuri fight, and timing burst artes and finishing strikes isnt mashing either. ARGH REVIEWERS! NOT PLAYING GAMES AGAIN!

Where is that from?

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #253 on:** September 08, 2008, 11:59:09 AM »

Well in fights if your people wanna use items a little thing will pop up near their menu with them asking to use an item. This is essentially where the player can cancel their use of the item. Thats pretty much what the comic is about. The absurdity of the idea of them asking in battle if they can use a life bottle.

Beezy · « **Reply #254 on:** September 08, 2008, 12:17:06 PM »

Yeah I know, but I meant where did you find that? 4chan?

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #255 on:** September 08, 2008, 12:18:50 PM »

Yeah, their videogames forum is pretty funny.

Beezy · « **Reply #256 on:** September 08, 2008, 12:25:40 PM »

Oh ok. I like that feature though. Sometimes a character on my team tries to use a life bottle when Estelle could just resurrect me with her magic so I tell them not to use it. I try to save them for when Estelle dies and I have no other way to revive anyone.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #257 on:** September 08, 2008, 12:39:52 PM »

No its a good feature. Its just absurd in concept.

cool breeze · « **Reply #258 on:** September 08, 2008, 12:47:04 PM »

It is a great feature. It is yet another thing IU should have had so those greedy assholes didn't waste my potions while that piece of shit Eugene had spells.

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.

cool breeze · « **Reply #263 on:** September 08, 2008, 01:13:02 PM »

Damn, so this game could actually be 60+ hours then? 10 times more enjoyment for me then. Only worry is that all these jrpg are going to destroy my 360. It doesn't help that leaving my 360 all day makes my room really hot.

I actually dig the intro song. Better than the shitty super pop of other j-rpg.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #264 on:** September 08, 2008, 01:14:31 PM »

Vesp is my favorite X360 RPG so far. I found blue dragon kinda dull and LO was ok but Vesperia is just wooo

cool breeze · « **Reply #265 on:** September 08, 2008, 01:16:18 PM »

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.

This fucking fox boss in the forest...fuck him.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #268 on:** September 08, 2008, 01:49:22 PM »

Haha, I think most people die to him once.

cool breeze · « **Reply #269 on:** September 08, 2008, 02:43:34 PM »

I died twice, then I stopped being stubborn and grinded a bit. Third time I messed him up with only using two life potions (only because I kept getting infected with poison and Estelle wouldn't do recover like I told her to).

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #270 on:** September 08, 2008, 02:45:34 PM »

Yeah you have to do a lot of taunting with yuri's projectile-like arte attack and keep him away from her. Its a tricky fucking fight. Thats the last 'hard' fight for some hours. When you fight bosses keep an eye open for objects within the combat area you can target, there's two big boss fights that center around this.

cool breeze · « **Reply #271 on:** September 08, 2008, 02:46:43 PM »

Was I supposed to do something with the plants? I kept wondering why those were around.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #272 on:** September 08, 2008, 02:48:06 PM »

If you lure the wolf to the plants he gets stunned, which leaves him open. Its pretty tricky since you can get stunned too. It does make the fight easier tho.

cool breeze · « **Reply #273 on:** September 08, 2008, 02:50:44 PM »

Well, whatever. I just got Estelle to make my physical attacks stronger, then overlimit, and I just went crazy on him from behind while Karol was bait. Rita supported big time.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #274 on:** September 08, 2008, 02:53:34 PM »

The plant thing isnt crucial, personally I think its the worst boss fight mechanic in the game just because there's no way to know how close you can get, and how cose he needs to get.

GilloD · « **Reply #275 on:** September 08, 2008, 03:01:25 PM »

I don't not want to, it's just 'spensive. Especially with RB2 and Fallout 3 coming out. I buy maybe one game every 3 or 4 months and rent everything else.

You should really buy it if you are a fan of the jrpg genre. Best one so far on the 360 or PS3.

I just traded in GTA4 so I could pick up VP2. Other than that, I have Rock band and VP1 sitting around. I never keep tings after I'm done with them.

Spend $5 and export your Rock Band tracks for Rock Band 2 and trade the game in or something (i think that works, right?).

Rita is seriously the best character. She has a dildo (or strap on) in her room, makes Estelle a lesbo, uses bondage chains and whips as weapons, and she is only 15. More characters like this in other games are needed.

Beezy · « **Reply #288 on:** September 08, 2008, 09:16:01 PM »

Where can you check their ages? I only know that Yuri is 21 and Estelle is 18. I don't know anyone else's age.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #289 on:** September 08, 2008, 09:33:03 PM »

Doesnt it say in the bio somewhere? or instruction book? I forgot where I heard Rita was 15, Estelle said she was 18, I think Yuri said he was 21 i think it was part of the story or something.

This game is going to take me forever to beat, it knows exactly how to get at my ocd. I am almost broke for buying weaker weapons that I'm going to grind with so I can get those weapon skills. I just got to the Guild city and I honestly spent like 10 minutes planning on which order I will use these weapons and managing my money and skills. Luckily there are some swords that both Yuri and Estelle can both use. This game is so awesome.

And I probably will start watching One Piece after playing this if they are apparently similar.

How old is Flynn? He seems like he would be older than Yuri.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #296 on:** September 08, 2008, 10:27:49 PM »

Vesperia rox hardcore. You dont HAVE to mess with skill allocation cause the game does a decent job, but you can, and the result is doing better in the arena, getting better combos going, *and probably some achievements tied to that as well* so really the game is as deep as you want it to be.
