So what am I in for?

One of the best ensemble casts in JRPGs and 95% of the games content being hidden behind obtuse bullshit that is also missable nearly as soon as you gain access to it

don't start the game on hard mode. just fucking don't.

MC dies in the end and fights god.

Decent battle system, one of the last few good Motoi Sakuraba soundtracks, a meandering story salvaged by decent characters, the best graffix a Tales game has ever had.

sounds like an JRPG ever

Looks like The Tales of Vesperja Remaster.

Don't listen to the salty Berseria retards. It's one of the best if not the best game in the series. The story is pretty good with some plot contrivances here and there. The game play is stellar with creative combos slowly becoming the norm as you go on. The beginning may feel a tad sluggish, but the colorful cast really keeps the game alive. So yeah its a great game near masterpiece of it's genre

oh, also all of the villains are shit, except for pic related

Yikes, i get that you missed a lot of the side quests but duke is one of the coolest niggas once you find out He was never honorable it was all a life long plan for change in power

Everyone will show you cool combo videos but what they don't tell you is that 90% of the game will be attack attack attack arte arte because you don't get the tools to let you be awesome until very late game, post game, or new game plus.

Again completely false, by hour 3 you can cancel arcane artes to base artes.

The only ones who didn't get it back then was nintendo.

boredom

Wait, really? I think I even got most of the scenes (like 4/6 or however many there were) with him the first time around without looking them up, but didn't catch that.
Not him, but I never looked into that. How? I know about free-run cancelling but it doesn't seem like it lets you do that?

Yeah that's what I said. 3 attacks 2 artes. I didn't mean 2 base arts because you don't get that until right before you fight Flynn. Which is end game.

Shit i meant Alexie wanted power to change the world. Duke was on my mind because i just saw a cutscene of him. But Duke still is a top tier villain after that, you find out sooner that your goals are one in the same but duke has long lost his trust of humans.
By like the 3rd dungeon you should have Super chain 2 or 3. Which allows you to do a base arte into a altered art.

grinding. lots and lots of grinding. People who reminisce about Tales of Vesperia wouldn't dare start a fresh playthrough.

based

Weebshit

The most based JRPG protag to ever exist

>By like the 3rd dungeon you should have Super chain 2
I think the first thing of that sort you get is Super Chain 4 from the Sinclair Saber. You can shop it in Nordopolica and Dahngrest (but only after you've already been to Nordopolica, I think).
It lets you chain base artes into altered artes (instead of arcane ones) just around the time you get altered artes.

which sidequest? duke's didn't have anything that matches your claim: youtube.com/watch?v=X1vwOtFvua4
And also,
>you humans are the greatest evil, i must destroy you all for the sake of the puppies and the butterflies and the flowers
yeah he's a great villain alright
