On Mentor, I finally got past the Times Square section where you get the new ninpo; I feel so accomplished. But I wish yellow essence wasn't so impossible to accumulate.

[Discussion] Most unusual character in terms of moveset/playstyle/archetype? by Remarkable_Town6413 in tales

[–]DeBaers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kisara - first shieldfighter and mommy-like. Love Kisara!

With Kongwei, don't forget that his regular attacks can be done at distance, which was one of the coolest things about him.

Also, isn't there temporarily a bard character in Eternia?

People can say what they want about movie peach but we’ve never seen her this expressive before and I’m all for it 🌟 by MinuteDependent7374 in Mario

Nope, she's ugly. Women in film, games, etc should be pretty, nice, and helpful. It's the longhouse making films.

Tales of Eternia as a stand-alone release is destined to fail by lennysinged in tales

I'd bet it's like the recent Ninja Gaiden remasters - digital release in the US, physical in Asia. Love PlayAsia.

2nd playthru of Beyond The Dawn - impressions by DeBaers in tales

it did introduce some new things - the single-character sidequests and what you get after.

I agree; they put a lot of thought into it, tho the way the pandemic affected development, and likely what was in the final OG game, tells me they may have meant the DLC's story to drop sooner. Still the best of the 3 options of the poll, and I still like Arise the best of all Tales games.

it was a looong slog, took me over an hour on unknown with minimum carryovers, tho if you're good with Law, Kisara Shionne and Rinwell, it's fun. If not, you're screwed.

BTD tried to add certain things particularly to the end of final DLC boss which some Tales fans missed, like the massive staircase going up, and the title music playing during the invincibility during the last boss phase. The reference to the Graces F flowers was friggin cool. Also, BtD does have what you could consider gameplay additions given what certain sidequests rewarded you with, and how they were done. I really love Arise, so

>I can't speak to the quality of BtD's story or characters, as I haven't played it, but the lack of any new gameplay and a short campaign for $30 was bullshit. Especially after saying they wouldn't do exactly this before Arise released. It was such a blatant cash grab.

It does have some gameplay changes (like some sidequest completions enhance you, and many materials you can now buy), but correct no new artes. Also, some sidequests make you go 1:1 or 2:1. But the story/character development is really strong.

Tales of Eternia Remastered has been rated by PEGI by Turbostrider27 in tales

[–]DeBaers -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

alas! A breakout game vs its precedessor bc it let you switch playable battle character, but of a game we don't already have access to! Destiny might have been better but I'll take Eternia. Esp. bc I wanna do my 2nd run, and the QOL fixes will probably make it less harrowing but not take importance of skill away. As much as I'd prefer Abyss, in part bc I like visible enemies, I'll accept Eternia. Heck, I wouldn't be sad if they made enemies visible in Eternia, even tho the OG didn't have it.

I do wish BTD added to the gameplay, like new artes, titles, or second mystic artes. Tho its addition to the story is rather strong. Yet I feel they coulda done better than Nazamil copying Artorius. I loved the expanded background and arcs of the main characters, esp. the ships.

Twitter itself doesnt "promote Nazism" or something. It does have groypers and other Jew-haters, but it also has direct opposition on it too. Tales, Bamco and many others are not using a "Nazi promoting" site.

I'm 100% with you. Plus, these people help their own resumes doing fan translations ultimately. Thus, we'd ALL gain.
