When you drop it and play Xenoblade.
Isaac Bennett
>Xenoblade
Maybe if you're talking about 1 or X.
Colton Murphy
>have to play the game next to a guide or else you can miss up to 80% of the game
I'm on part 2 and I'm burned out because everything is time-sensitive and missable. Why can't bandai-namco design games well?

>it's another "Yea Forums TOLD ME THIS WAS THE BEST GAME EVER AND IT'S NOT THE BEST GAME EVER SO IT'S SHIT" episode
What's sad is this is probably the only way to get a Tales thread to bump limit now
Landon Morales
Played Xenoblade 2 and it's worse than this. That games was genuinely bad, this is just dull.
Christian Gonzalez
Yuri Lowell is the only reason to play this game. He ties with Kanji Tatsumi as Troy Baker's best performance.
Charles Campbell
I was referring to 1, and X.
Dominic Mitchell
>>it's another "Yea Forums TOLD ME THIS WAS THE BEST GAME EVER AND IT'S NOT THE BEST GAME EVER SO IT'S SHIT" episode
When did I ever state or imply this? I've heard good things about this game outside of Yea Forums as well and I would've probably picked it up without Yea Forums
Daniel Bennett
Don't even pretend those games aren't an absolute slog. Xenoblade 2 takes at least 20 hours to get good.
Hard to say. I got bored and dropped it after the second Zagi fight
Parker Campbell
>When does it get good?
user, I...
Logan Taylor
Played X and dropped it when I found out you have to run around the city and find your party members every time you want to switch them around. Wasn't nearly as bad as 2 but it feels like Monolith can't make a game that doesn't involve some way to waste people's time.
James Brown
When you toss it aside, and play either Dark Souls, or Devil May Cry.
Asher Turner
never, you were meme'd
should have gotten legendia
Robert Rodriguez
just another 30 hours to go before you might get some skills to make the combat not shit hang in there btw check out these combo vids
Lucas Hill
I've played both
I think I'm done with the Tales series after this
I've started to realise that JRPG's with action battle systems often aren't very good...
Ayden Walker
I play jrpgs for the campy stories and sometimes decent soundtracks
people acting like vesperia is a fighting game are a bunch of fags
Joshua Thomas
when you realize patty is a nopan
Jeremiah Richardson
It's a Tales game, so never.
Jacob Gray
This. Playing Vesperia right now, halfway through it, but I just can't go back to Tales. I used to enjoy them, but XC games spoiled me. Tales is always the same on rails shit, the same zero exploration, the same overdone bland environments, the same subpar music, the same everything. The characters bant is always enjoyable though, I'll give it that.
Nolan Gomez
>I've started to realise that JRPG's with action battle systems often aren't very good...
Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 are the only ones I can think of.
Liam Ross
Kek, no.
Colton Perry
Kingdom Hearts is as much a jrpg as Metal Gear Rising. It's an action game, that's it.
Sebastian Perry
Too bad Xenoblade goes to shit halfway through.
Hudson Harris
When you met Rita the rest is awesome.

Carter Allen
It doesnt, at least not if you're hoping for a decent story
Chase Phillips
Yeah, I guess you'd be right there. That being said I only played the first KH, but I found it entertaining enough to stick with
Christopher Jenkins
You either play it cos you're hot for Yuri or you're gonna have a bad time.
Owen Gutierrez
It's definitely the best one in the series. Chain of Memories and 2 are still good, but the rest are crap, so you probably just got the best experience.
Connor Bell
Yeah, I hear that question and I'm think "Kingdom Hearts II... maybe the Kingdom Hearts if you're generous?" Good action combat is generally more finesse than the sub-genre seems to get time and talent for. Tales combat is fun at it's best, but like everything else in the series it is brought down by being stretched out over a game that 40+ hours for no reason.
Gavin Russell
When you unlock Judith, Raven and Flynn.
Which is when 75% of the game is over.
Logan Harris
Damn. I'm gonna come back to it in a couple of weeks and see if it can win me over after a bit more time but if not I'll drop it.
Isaac Gutierrez
I finished the game recently. It really doesn't improve much, if at all.
Cameron Sullivan
most people agree that it gets real good at the heracles
Jack Davis
I was able to enjoy it and get deep into it when I was couch co-oping with my pals. I can only hope you'll find some reason to keep pushing on.
Carson Long
Coop is pretty much mandatory to enjoy the game before it gets good after 50 hours.
God the AI is terrible
Jeremiah Cox
Is Raven actually considered good in combat?
He seems fairly ineffectual. Currently only at the part right before Don's death, though.
inb4 he gets better another 30 hours in.
Cooper Clark
>tfw no online co-op
>tfw no Yea Forums tales threads where anons can join in on other's journeys and shit up each other's battles
A man can dream, right?
A man can dream...
Unfortunately, the meme is accurate here.
Raven unlocks Time Stop and has lots of late-game abilities that really make his playstyle fun, which is why I said when the game's about 75% over.
Jason Jackson
It never gets good. Hell I'd argue it gets worse, the story jumps off a fucking cliff in the 3rd act.
Noah Gonzalez
Honestly by the first time you get combo plus that combat is much better.
The story is good enough, the combat is great and the skills and spells you learn are interesting.
I really don't understand how people get bored with a game so quickly.
Ian Foster
I'm surprised no one tried to mod the Tales of games to add local coop like Super Mario 64
Caleb Carter
With strong internet you can use parsec to play online coop
Benjamin Lopez
>which is why I said when the game's about 75% over
Aye. Thought that was mostly in reference to Flynn, but oh well. Guess I'll keep him around anyway since I completely neglected him on my first playthrough (even got the "oh boy, I wish I could participate in combat more" skit).
Christopher Mitchell
>so quickly
Eight hours isn't a brief dip into a game user
Joseph Davis
Yea but I meant like 200 players running on the map everywhere and you can join in their battles by walking on them
Adrian Smith
Keep to him and soon you'll be weaving in and out of bow and knife combos like nothing. His traps are really good combo extenders and starters if you can space yourself right.
Chase Reed
Play an actually good game like Dragon Quest 11
Jacob Morris
By 8 hours you'd be around the desert area, right? The worldbuilding during that part is great and Rita would be getting into her second tier of magic.
Unless you somehow ended up going way slower than that, new skills and a shit ton of fun character interaction would be around then.
I really can't see how you would get bored unless you only play Yuri and dislike him.
Gavin Hughes
I'm at the point where you're escorting Estelle back to the capital
Aaron Young
>play zestiria, berseria and vesperia
>all the same shit
is there a good tales of? I mean, surely there was at least ONE good game decades ago to make the company shit out 100 sequels.
Juan Bailey
>play zestiria, berseria and vesperia
wew
Symphonia's my favorite. Of course you'll have people talking about Abyss, Vesperia and Graces F.
Graces F has the best combat system, though.
Joseph Hall
>Yuri giving Phaeroh shit for taking matters into his own hands
Jeremiah Jackson
Second playthrough or when you get glory on yuri.
Jeremiah Hughes
>glory
Doesn't that make everything a massive faceroll?
Andrew Phillips
Symphonia is apparently the least bad of the lot. I always thought it was mediocre and derivative at best, but I was able to appreciate it slightly more after playing the complete abomination that was Tales of the Abyss
Aaron Garcia
It makes the game fun. You don't need it if you play on normal or easy though.
Adrian Thomas
Found some people hosting PC New Game+ saves and how to install them, so I will try them whenever I give Vesperia a go.

>get told Symphonia has a memorable story
>It's filled to the brim with generic cliches
Is Symphonia one of those "games I've played in my childhood and I though it was good" games?
Grayson Morgan
when you able to link Arcane and Altered arts together so, around 40-50 hours into the game.
Cooper Clark
yes.
Ian Young
Hoo yeah. Not devoid of fun but certainly a "if we're super long and TALK about a lot of things we must have something to SAY about a lot of things!"
Ethan Miller
OP if you want a JRPG with good action combat, you should try the Ys series. For me personally, I find the Tales of combat really restrictive since there's no proper dodge/evasion abilities or even a jump function. It seems to just be able stringing Art combos which I find repetitive and boring.
Logan Jenkins
You made me realize anew that the newest Tales game don't have a jump, because most of them do and it's often useful.
Nathaniel Nguyen
I got to the part where they head to the desert and lost my save. Wasn’t good enough to make me want to play up to that point again.
Zachary Hughes
That's not a fair comparison. Ys have almost 0 RPG elements so the gameplay can be very challenging. Meanwhile in Tales of you can just drop the controller since your party members will kill everything and heal you.
Benjamin Phillips
Later when you get more gameplay tools. It’s the best Tales in terms of combat but you have to put up with the awful story.
Jaxon Reyes
>Meanwhile in Tales of you can just drop the controller since your party members will kill everything and heal you.
I'd like you to show me a video of you doing exactly that against Gattuso
Cooper Taylor
Tales better get their shit together and drop their old ass shitty engine and make something great for the next game or i am dropping their shit faster than FFXV.
Grayson Kelly
>comics about Lloyd telling later tales protagonists how to be heros
pls more
Sebastian Cook
How is that in any way a good thing. If that's the case, I'd rather play a turn based RPG.
Adam Rodriguez
I don't recall the artist doing any more, but I would have to remember who they are.
Matthew Johnson
Tales of Arise just got leaked.

Thomas Russell
>Story
Starts bad, becomes decent around 25 hours in, jumps off a cliff into retardation around 50 hours in
>Gameplay
Starts inexcusably terrible, improves to tolerable after 30 hours, improves again to acceptable after 70 hours
If you don't REALLY REALLY like the characters and the party banter scenes then there's really not much of a reason to play this game at all. At its best, it's still only okay, and you will have to slog through dozens of hours of complete dreck just to get there.
Oliver Carter
Wonder how it will look in action. To E3.
Kayden Bennett
Phantasia, Destiny, Eternia. They're all at least 20 years old though
