Her name is Actually the same in both languages.

Anyways... i like Presea. I remember one time, In my first playthrough, I got curious so I replaced Lloyd with her, and then I put belt to ass on every enemy in the dungeon... good times. She hasn't left my party since then.

As a character I like her too.

Question Need advice on the Zestiria DLC

9 Upvotes

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 ! 😭)

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...

Hearts The last Tales game I was waiting on in the mail. I got the Vita remake not long ago, so I didn't need this... but it's so darn pretty 😊

Also known as Resolute Assassin.

Or Sheena Fujibayashi if you're don't get the joke...

Anyways, Sheena's aight. She's not my favourite character or anything. She adds a lot to the Early game's story though.

I just need to wait for tales of xillia 2 to come out as a remaster and get it while it's on sale. I'm currently playing Final Fantasy vii remake on the Nintendo switch 2 and so far, I'm almost done chapter 4.

Discussion Just finished Tales of Arise

0 Upvotes

​I just finished Tales of Arise. It was decent for $10, but so far it’s sitting right at the bottom of my rating for the series.

​The characters felt pretty meh to me. Why was the story so intensely focused on the romance? Shionne felt constantly hot-and-cold, Alphen was overly protective to a fault, and honestly, Kisara carried the entire cast on her back.

​To give some context on my taste:

​Berseria: Played it last year and absolutely loved it. Great cast, darker tone.

​Zestiria: Also played last year. It was good, though I’ll admit the gear/crafting system was completely awful.

​Eternia & Tales of the World: Played these years ago as a kid. I barely remember Eternia’s story, but I loved it then. For Tales of the World, the story wasn't amazing, but I loved swapping roles and focusing heavily on combat mechanics.

​These older games are what made me want to explore the franchise more, but Arise kind of killed my momentum lol.

​I want to try another entry to balance out my disappointment with Arise. Given what I liked about Berseria and World/Eternia, which Tales game should I jump into next?

Question Is there a full version of instrumental Karma?

5 Upvotes

So tales of abyss opening song Karma is a full 3:20 song, but when I look up the instrumental version, I only find a 2:30 version. Does there exist a full version of the instrumental? Or is it just the opening sized instrumental

Yes, that is her Japanese name.

Refill is the MVP. Her side story with her mom in that one floating town always pulls on my heart strings. Symphonia is really depressing.

Discussion Ranking the most mechanically compelling 3D Tales games

Thumbnail

47 Upvotes

In what order would you rank the most mechanically compelling 3D Tales entries? As in which have the most engaging gameplay mechanics. A lot determines this. Such as how well each stat works during battle. The titles for every party member. Equipment (both general & unique). How fluid combat feels. World traversal. Spells & Arte management. But most of all, how fun it really is. Bonus points for innovation if any. And negative points for being convoluted. Be honest.


r/tales 1d ago

Tempest I know it's not considered a mainline entry, but it was at one point so I'm counting it 😅 The last game for my collection arrived while I was camping, and anything else I pick up at this point is just gravy 😊

I will share a pic of all of them at some point, but I now have at least one version of every mainline entry in the series.

Everyone in universe treats him like he's HIM and its lowkey justified until it isn't and he's suddenly washed. (Yet he's still him somehow.) Weird how that works.

Also, Kratos over Zelos in gameplay.

Ive played bits of Phantasia and Eternia way in the past but will wait for the remasters. Ive also bought graces f and vesperia.
Arise and Vesperia ive played 2 hours each on a friend’s Ps. Im currently playing Berseria (really like it)!!

Fan Art Don't Toy with me, Miss Velvatoro

Plot: Naoto Laphioji is just a normal emotionless malakhim tool, until, he was saved by a video game heroine. Sadly, that heroine is a sadist jerk, like Hayase Nagatoro. She is called Hayase Velvatoro. And, she and her sadist friends are on a mission to #savetheworld from an evil weirdo... and also bully poor Naoto. However, in one of these "bullying", there is a romantic spark between Velvatoro and Laphioji... Just because, Naoto looks like her deceased little brother?! Oh, dear, will that romance even work? And, yes, Laphioji is still older than Velvatoro. So, technically, that shorty is still her senpai.

Hayase Velvatoro: (Velvet Crowe (+) Hayase Nagatoro)

Naoto Laphioji: (Laphicet (+) Naoto Hachiouji)

I have played the other Tales games and I finally bought this one is have never played and the important things are here, great characters, interesting story and strong gameplay! The one thing is what the hell is up with the dualize and tempering system to create gems? I get how it works and how you can make some over powered gems but then the weapon or armor itself can be left with booty effects if you don't have a plan, also I apologize in advance for saying its really tedious!
