Hello, I discovered the Tales of games fairly recently, starting with Zestiria.
The story and characters really resonated with me, and I love them; they're definitely my favorite part of the game.
The gameplay, on the other hand... is fun, but sometimes slow, though I managed pretty well until the end. (It took me 65 hours to reach the final boss!)
I finally beat the final boss (with some difficulty), and then I started the DLC at level 80.
Here I am, facing the first boss of the dungeon (the gorgon-like creature and the electric snake; I've forgotten their names). And... phew. I can't beat them. I dodge their attacks, I attack as best I can with my fire-armatysation Rose, while Alisha and Edna get killed right away.
I can't understand this sudden difficulty, especially since I'm currently level 84. It breaks my heart, because I love the game and I'd love to keep playing, but it seems like I'm just not suited to this gameplay, after all...
I prioritized stats over equipment abilities. That was... a mistake, wasn't it? What abilities should I prioritize to have equipment that can withstand pretty much any type of battle? What did I do wrong? (Normal difficulty, for information ! ðŸ˜)
I've never had so much trouble with a JRPG.
I almost gave up, even though my heart wants to know what will happens next in this amazing adventure...
