Tales Of

>Lloyd was the last bad Tales protagonist before they started getting decent.

>In his own game everyone else in the series besides the half-elf mages were more interesting representatives of the series.

Be honest. Does anyone really care about Lloyd that much other than muh Gamecube?

gonna be honest, I started on Tales of Symphonia and found Luke to be a better character than Lloyd.

The problem with Lloyd is that he doesn't really change. He never liked the idea of a chosen one solving his problems and when he finds out it was a bunk system he spends the rest of the game philosophically cutting corners into the round hole for his square peg. The most he changes is just going "oh, guess my way isn't going to be easy" and that's about it.

While Luke goes from dickish, but ultimately naive pampered prince to a genuine person.

Is Xilliabro as based as he looks?

Tales of Syphonia is a story with an ensemble cast, with a plot that focuses on Colette's Journey and it's intersections with Mithos' and Kratos' and Journeys.

It isn't about Lloyd. He's not meant to change through the story, or grow - he's a stand in for the player, basically just a narrative device.

The reason so many people like him (or know him, rather) is that he's the one fixture through the game, so he's basically synonymous with it. But he wasn't the focus of the game or it's plot, like most other Tale's games have done with their protagonists.

Jude is okay I guess. His whole thing is that he really really wants to fuck Milla. His actual personality is the typical nice kind sort. He does do some cool things though, like literally punching his world's God in the face

People who like Luke over Lloyd aren't humans also kill yourselves cunts

Compelling debate you got going there.

he's robin
also his outfit is cool so he wins

Isn't it interesting how the people who hate Luke the most are also the ones who act the most like him?

Lloyd is a bro. I've liked him far more than every other Tales protag, like Luke or Yuri.

Luke brings out the worst in all of us.

Jude is a pathetic beta male toadie.

In game play though he's a god tier Monk character. His movement and combos endgame are absolutely fantastic and he becomes the most fun character in the game to play as.

Emil is a much better character that Lloyd. He actually has, you know, character development instead of just parroting the same lines over and over again, unchanged despite the events and people that sound him.
Emil was a properly executed character, even if you found him annoying.

Lloyd has shit character development and is a 7/10 protagonist.

Luke is fine and actually grows in the story as a character, he is simply far superior in comparison as an actual protagonist and far more woven into the plot of the story.

Lloyd is literally just some beta male kid Kratos had some time hovering around Colette and her story.

Attached: oh no oh god no.jpg (250x261, 14K)

He is pretty okay as a character, not too bad yet not too good, his side is better than Milla's and it's one of my favorites Tales characters gameplay wise

Lloyd was just an avatar for the player. Most other protagonists, even Emil, are better characters, since they're actual characters.

I thought he was cool in Radiant Mythology.

He's a manwhore.
He direct tether with anyone just because he can.

I bet Emil actually knows how to make sandwiches too unlike some people.

As a character, no, he's a pussywhipped annoying faggot, though Millia's pussy game is pretty strong so you don't blame him too much for that by the end of the game, he's still a dumbass though.
As a playable character though, he's incredibly based, up there with Stahn, Asbel, Shing and Ludger as most fun MC to play as.

Lloyd can fuck multiple girls, he is fucking based

Nice try.

Not every confession has to be explicit dumbass

Well that explains why you're here.

Lloyd will always be my favorite because he was just a hard working guy that wanted to make a difference in the world. He admits his weaknesses and knows when to take a supportive stance to other characters when something is better suited to them or they're in some form of crisis. He was a protagonist where it made sense for all of the party members to want to follow him for once while still believing in their cause. It's also one of the few games where a protagonist can end up with any of the girls and there's plausible reason for each of them. Even though he doesn't develop much, Lloyd at least had steady motivations throughout the game. People praise Yuri like the second coming when he undergoes no development and has barely any set goals besides "what does Estelle want to do". Still, I would say Graces/Symphonia 2 marked the downfall of the series in almost every category, especially in terms of protagonists. Since then, Ludger stands out but that's mainly due to the circumstances around him, his design, and his gameplay.

Phantasia has the best story, setting, and characters, but the worst gameplay (even on the psx remake)

Lloyd's alpha aura intimidates them. They wouldn't be able to handle a rejection.

Going off the dialogue Lloyd has with Emil when you choose a character, they clearly do by the time the sequel takes place.

I enjoy Phantasia a lot but it somewhat hard to get into nowadays

Tales of Symphonia is literally the only good Tales game. Hideo Baba ran this franchise into the dirt. Even they were aware how popular it was when they tried to cash in on a direct sequel, but unfortunately it was fucking retarded cause it was a hideo baba game.

the combat in every tales game after symphonia seems like such an undeveloped unsatisfying frustrating afterthought that the games shouldn't have even been shipped. i remember playing some psp tales game and thinking "wow this is fucking garbage" and dropped it almost immediately, chocking it up to thinking that 90% of psp games were fucking garbage. but no, that shit carried on regardless of how powerful the platform they were developing for. enemies falling out of combos, enemies not taking hitstun or reacting to attacks, absolutely shit combat mechanics, questionable storytelling decisions, like damn everything went to the garbage dump after symphonia. the only saving grace of Tales of Abyss was Guy, and playing as Guy rather than luke even though luke was the mc, cause Guy actually had Tales MC moves and combo mechanics. Like something got fucked up there definitely.

its posts like this that make me think tales of games are profound in a way other games aren't
who the fuck could ever like Emil or Asbel even a little bit?

Lloyd is alpha as fuck

luke is a retarded zelos in every imaginable way.

Yggdrasil was right. Not everyone has a super powered stone granting them the power to fight back against oppressors. The half elves were unjustly discriminated against for their mere existence. Hell Lloyd saying that they could go anywhere they wanted is proof enough of his ignorance of their powerlessness st their situation.

>character development

stock shit tier development is far far worse than a character that has most of his values figures out by the beginning

What's the best way to play Phantasia?

PSX
play the Phantasian Productions fan translation
If you know moonrunes you can play X on PSP

Been playing through a bunch of the Tales of games and most of them are pretty bad to be honest. I unironically enjoyed Zestiria the most out of what I've played. I'm still going through Berseria so I don't have an opinion but seriously fuck Vesperia. Vesperia is a game about nothing that goes on for 50 hours. Yuri was interesting but it doesn't help that the rest of the game was a boring slog to get through.

Tales of arise is gonna suck, isn't it.

The PS1 version is overall the best. You know japanese you can also play the PSP version instead. The PS1 version has a more fleshed out battle system and some of things you come to expect from Tales. Like skits.

SNES version isn't bad mind you. Just different.

You fags have deceived me for the last time

Am I the only person who played as Presea during multiplayer?

It's pretty obvious Presea respects him and feels like he's all she's got if you pursue her. It also confirms they hooked up in the sequel.
The only matchup Lloyd doesn't really work with is Raine.

Is this what Colette would look like if she became a hooker?

Presea is unironically the best choice. The dialogue they have together is great. Lloyd works with just about everyone, but Presea only works with Lloyd and he realizes that.

She's fun to play as, hits like a truck, and does the second highest amount of damage after Lloyd, so no.

I still need to finish his game but he's one of my fav protags in the series along with a high fav in general. I'm glad that out of all the protags he was the one to get canonically married.

I like Lloyd. His character development just happens to be testing and confirming his beliefs rather than changing them.

>Lloyd: We should strive to save everyone! No one should be sacrificed!
>Everyone else: That's dumb and naive, Lloyd. You can't save everyone. In going against society and trying to save those people you're going to rock the boat and cause even more casualties. You're being a child.
>Lloyd: Maybe you guys are right, a lot of people are getting killed when I try to change things.
>Lloyd:Wait a minute, no, fuck you guys. I'm being a child because I want a world where we don't have human sacrifice, human slaughterhouses, slavery, race wars, and artificial scarcity? Being an adult is just "keep your head down and hope you're not the one who gets fucked over"? No, this is all super worth it.

It's pretty much "guy gets booed for saying the truth, keeps saying it until everyone agrees with him."

Why do Tales games still change names of characters and items and even skills in localizations still. They aren't gels but why the hell do they keep it?

>rip favs
I meant *top favs, feel free to shame my phoneposting.

I've always hated Lloyd, but then I've never cared much for any of symphonia's characters or the game in general.
Everyone spooged their pants over the 3d battle system, but as someone that played phantasia, destiny and eternia before it came out, compared to eternia symphonia felt fucking slow and clunky.
And don't even get me started on summons aka that thing sheena only did once in my entire playthrough.

Symphonia hasn't aged well at all and its mostly nostalgia on why people like the game. Old tales games are super stiff and uncomfortable to play.

>Everyone spooged their pants over the 3d battle system
Are you sure you're talking about Symphonia? Combat is probably one of the things people don't really praise it for. It was serviceable then, and has definitely shown its age now.

Worst character in Symphonia. I hate the airheaded goody-goody archetype.

But is the coffee hot or cold...?

We'll never know because she spilled it! She spilled Lloyd's delicious coffee! All his hard work all over the ground! Then she had the AUDACITY to start whining about not being able to taste or feel! Like, who cares?! I would be groveling at Lloyd's feet lapping that coffee up out of the DIRT!

According to the producer they specifically wanted him to suffer to have the player invest in his character's arc.

For a lot of people, it actually worked well because nobody else is more sympathetic in that game, not even the original cast of Xillia.

Of the girls the only one that doesnt really work is raine, those convos just feel forced compared to the rest

I think X2 did the combos with weaknesses better. I mean there are even combo videos for X2 so that has to say something about the combo system.

Who the fuck is that. Muh

Graces was the reason I started trying out non protagonist characters in Tales games. Pascal and Hubert were the sickest characters in Tales history. Laphicet from Tales of Beseria had some really cool stuff too, I used him for almost the entire game.

X2's combat wasnt bad though i always felt stuck with ludger due to how much the game pushes him on you and how broken he is compard to the rest of the cast. Graces just seemed to nail that 2d/3d mix and the dodge system was great and promoted doing something other than combo hell due to limited points

yeah think every char in graces felt pretty good to play actually liked using cheria though hubert was my go to aswell, wasnt very fond of the mage guy thoguh

Abyss has the best opening in the series.

Flynn admits multiple times that at least half of his accomplishments are secretly Yuri's, and asks him to take credit for them. Yuri refusing to do so is the ultimate chad move

>worst gameplay
Well...it is the first game.

This user speaks the truth, there's a reason why Karma has over 33 million views on YT

Everyone always says that Vesperia is the best Tales game, but honestly I was kind of underwhelmed. The characters were really great, but the overall story was pretty mediocre, and the game can be a slog at times. Is it really the best, or have I been memed?

OG innocence said hi.

Abyss is a very high second though

she's used as a plot device so hard she doesn't have much outside of it

people will usually shill symphonia/abyss/vesperia over any other tales, vesperia got a 2nd high since the re-release came out. All 3 are pretty strong games though symphonias likely aged the worst in its mechanics. Far as story goes, thats vesperias low point since not really much happens, granted tales plots are pretty middle tier at best

Vesperia's story is okayish, but it goes full retard on the last act

He's only slightly less emasculated and annoying than Emil at the outset. There's really nothing remarkable about his character--he's just an unnaturally nice guy with a thick coating of that stupid fucking oblivious harem master trope Nips love.
He's better in the second game, I think, because for whatever reason the entire returning cast turned into a pack of sociopaths.

Holy milkers

Follow the Nightingale is also incredibly underrated, the shot of Spada's swords clashing always makes my peepee hard

I hated her when I was younger, but now she's my #2 after Raine.
Also, I wish they kept her gloved design in the game for more than a single cutscene. Gloves are cute.

Its drawn by NDC who does mostly hyper thicc milf types. You can find a bunch of his stuff on the “Venus body type” thread on /d/

Kind of a surprise he drew Tear randomly out of the blue. I hope he draws her again but lewd like his main art.

But really. It doesn't exist. That's because the PC is based off the PS3 version which is also based off the PS2 port. Which was 30fps. The whole thing is fucked.

bought Vesperia and played it up to where you meet Flynn and then stopped because Shadowbringers.
I'm liking it but it feels like there's no techs to string together at the moment, and I've read that it's kinda linear and doesn't have all that much happening in it. Is there a specific point in which i should get to before passing some judgment on it?

Luke would've been fine if he wasn't a 100% faggot and then 0% faggot immediately after he cut his hair. There was 0 growth he literally changed into a different character after he got "no u'd"

Lloyd is one-dimensional but at least he stayed true to his character.

Then they dropped his remake.

He also doubted himself more than once on his journey. The OVA has a lot of great character moments.

That's because Vesperia takes its sweet ass time when it comes to giving you combat options. You can make things better by learning how to manual cancel, which gives you some decent combo options almost from the get go at least.

REEE Fine I'll learn it.

Awful, but thats ToS2 in general

Annoying girl in a crummy escort title.

Really? ToS2 has problems but I don't count her as one of them. She doesn't feel like she belongs in Symphonia though.. but that's mostly the weird contrast of ToS2's modern anime style and characters colliding with ToS1's 90's style anime style and characters.

DESU I wish they would have just made ToS2 it's own game instead of piggybacking off the original. The Pokemon mechanic was fun but any time ToS1 stuff is involved it typically makes it worse.

Why is she on her knees?

It's not even an exploit, it just pops up on the battle book at some point in the game when it should've been there from the start.

His snarky, kinda dickish friend's friend, to be precise.
Losing Mithos is acceptable and boy did he get a fate better than he deserved for instigating and supporting 4000 years of fucking BULLSHITTERY, slavery and racism he himself suffered under. Fffffuck Mithos.

I'm playing Vesperia finally after not having an xbox to play it for years. Only thing is I am a bit disappointed in the towns. I mean they are pretty but I expected them to be closer to Abyss and Symphonia where there were more places to enter. I mean it's expected cause it's a newer gen. I'll have to get further to see how much I like it. My favorite tales game is Abyss.

he was also like "i did nothing wrong i regret nothing" until the very end.
It was just sad that lloyd decided he was the only friend he had to sacrifice in order for peace to occur
he also kills Mithos himself

Which character from Vesperia / Berseria Edna is closest to in terms of personality?
I picked up Zestiria because I like her design and I don't really care about the rest of the characters just by looking at their design and I need to know how badly I fucked up since everyone keeps saying how the game is bad etc.

What's the point of comparing her to any other character? She's her own character. She's a sort of moody, snarky girl. She likes to tease and argue with Mikleo. She loves and misses her brother, although she's somewhat tsun about it, iirc.
Zestiria is just mediocre as far as Tales go. If you like the series in general, you can probably finish Zestiria without trouble.

You do all her skits and choose the right things to say. If there's every a dialog situation where it allows you to choose someone to do something then you always pick Presea.

Presea is the hardest because she doesn't gain affection from any cooking, so it's really just a matter of dumping on everyone else. Be sure to talk to Janet and Horace in Meltokio and Sybak in that sidequest and comfort her

worst tales game

Go back to the room where she punched Yuri after you beat the game and the new postgame dungeon super boss for the hidden sex scene.

I very distinctly remember getting to Mizhuho the first time I played Symphonia 10-some years ago, hearing Lloyd and Tiga's exchange and thinking "Lloyd, you're a dump sweet mountain boy who was rightfully mad his friends lives suck; when did you become this grand altruist?" And then suddenly he is the moral truth north for every subsequent conflict in the game (as befitting of a silly game for kids/teens, admittedly). Aside from Dorr's rebuke and Regal's outright saying "So we're killing people WE don't like, then?", Alice in Dawn of the New World was a greater challenge to him than anything in the original game. He's a good boy, the story just kind of bent to him, literally in how he moves Kratos and Zelos to his optimism.

>A game about nothing that somehow goes on for 50 hours.

That is probably the Tales series foundational faux-paw, yes. At least for a number of games.

I still haven't played more than hour of it :/ Still have 3 of them in the backlog.

You say that, but in Triet, the lady tells me that Raine is my soulmate. All I did was pick the lines that made Lloyd not be a total idiot and always have her in my party as a dedicated healer.

> Im more upset that i got baited hard with the Duke banner and then they announce Summer having bikini Judith
I thought it was obvious that Vesperia would be part of this years summer event. Then again, I try to analyze and predict who's coming up, maybe it's not obvious to someone that doesn't think about it.
I mean, Symphonia, Abyss, Zestiria, Legendia, and Xillia 1&2 were the previous summer events so I doubt they'd redo those. Graces has seasonals for all its characters, so they're not getting anything until Malik comes (which will likely within the next 2 months). Rebirth just had an event last month and Destiny 2 has had content for the past 3 months. Berseria only has Phi and Rokurou without seasonals and I doubt they'd do a summer banner without girls.
So by process of elimination that leaves Phantasia, Eternia, Destiny, the DS trio, and Vesperia for summer. Vesperia being the most popular among those makes it an obvious decision to include it.
Most of all, adding the pirates in summer and giving Judith a swimsuit seemed the natural thing to do.
What disappointed me is that Eternia is part of the event, but they didn't give Celsius a swimsuit.
Also, I'm betting summer part 2 will either be Destiny and/or Innocence. Personally, I'd really like Ange added in. They could make it a holy woman event if they added her with Philia.

People dont even know what they're talking about when they say this. The same people who say Lloyd has no character development are the same people who think Goku has no character in Dragon Ball and Z. AKA brainlets. Being a good character doesnt have to mean "durr he an asshole who become a nice guy XD". There are subtle ways of developing characters too, and there are great protagonists who dont actually develop much themselves but instead are the catalyst by which others and the world around them develop.

Why do so many people hate on Emil? All I hear is because he was "whiny" but I don't think anyone who thinks that actually payed any attention. The vast majority of his complaining is often played off as a gag and is generally more grumbling than outright whining. Hell, he's played by Johnny Young Bosche of all people who is known for roles like that. You're meant to laugh at his bitching, not take it seriously. That's why the game throws so many shit situations at him in the first place. It's meant to be humorous. Maybe it's different in the original Japanese but if that's the case, then the localization actually changed him for the better and JYB put a pretty good spin on his character with his acting.

Thanks. Adding that one to the collection, although I'm not sure why the artist chose to make Hubert cosplay as a Canadian.

If anything, that seems more likely that he's genuinely whiny in the original since Japan fucking LOVES shitty little bitch protagonists.

That’s because his true love is Zelos.

Read the last Producer Letter, they said they reduced the amount needed for each updrade, and there will be a daily mission with limited tries that will give you spirit shards for characters that have a spirit gear. Im not sure if the latter will be implented after tonights update. They've also made it abit easier for the meter to fill up.

Emil's not nearly as whiny in japanese. JYB did such a good job at being a whiny bitch in the dub it's just fucking unbearable.

The Duke raid event just ends tonight, but the banner stays up for the rest of the month.
Bikini Judith (and Flynn) and the Patty/Chat Summer event wont go live until the end of the month. We're getting Stahn/Leon/Veigues event to get their Spirit Gear after tonights update.

You would be surprised, Lloyd.

"God, how do you people have any fun? Where are the casinos, the parties, the showgirls?"

"I mean, I grew up without any of that my life and look how I turned out."

"You hick, you know can't enjoy wholesome stuff like that."

Zelos just desperately needed someone to be real with him and Lloyd was the right kinds of real.

There is an air of "Why does this shit always happen to me?" humor. Even got to make the "I would question this, but it's Colette, my argument is invalid" joke. His story was more about self-affirming than a huge upward swing, and that he started from a very low place and had Ratatosk do all his fighting until the very end of the game makes that a hard sell.

The letter says you can do the quests after the event so it sounds like it'll be implemented when the event ends.

I think that the real problem came from Lloyd being basically a self insert so naturally western hated Emil for not kissing Lloyd's ass.

Nips don't don't self insert as Lloyd and didn't self insert so they didn't mind Emil.

To the Rays players, how many points did you end with in the Duke raid?

In all honesty the solution that Yuri's group found in Vesperia fucked over the world.

I got to 1.4 mil. Got to 1.25 with natural ap and used a few refills at the end cuz I wanted those extra tickets.

Because Duke's solution was so much better right?

Not really because now they can harness then power of the spirits and use that, Rita even got scientists to start research on using spirit energy around the end of the game, and they were already fast enough to make a small fireworks spell with it.

When its a raid, its always against an actual villain from the games, or a collab, and its just point collecting. The other event is just currency collecting and trading in for things. Theres a youtube channel dedicated to translating cutscenes if you want to follow story

But then how long would it take to harness that power when they lost even the protections that the towns used to have against monsters.

The Seventh Fonon.

They still had soldiers and mercenaries, the whole point of having both the Guild Union and the Empire come together at the end of the game was to make sure they understand that they need their manpower to come together to protect and set up walls. Soldiers were still trained for combat, hell, most of them never had blastia to begin with since they were only given out to certain ranks.

Patty needs a shitload of skill grinding to be useful, and Raven needs to use Time Stop literally hundreds of times before you can even have a chance of abusing it

Also Critical Moment is fucking obnoxious even if you have Safe Bet on(were you having fun? too bad, pow hammers)

Estelle and Flynn are the most scrub-friendly characters, and if someone is asking what the best party comp is, they probably don't have much experience, and it's an extremely reliable party comp

You definitely need Rita's Meteor spam for the labyrinths super boss. I needed Patty to keep spamming Critical Moment to constantly heal and give Overlimit.

does the item pack have titles too? I only installed the costumes one.

Moon lets you switch the character you're controlling mid-battle with the start button. Boots let you walk faster in the overworld. You can synth these after you've synthesized enough stuff, they'll show up and tell you what you need.

168b looks like the SAO bitch but I know she's from Symphonia 2.

so I just pirated Tales of Vesperia on switch and begun playing it, I just reached the town with the big tree
does the combat get any better? this is my first tales game and the combat is kind of underwhelming, I'm used to stuff like Devil May Cry, Bayonetta and the likes, or fallout new vegas and BOTW if you're talk RPGs, but the combat so far has been really repetitive and has a really weird difficulty where sometimes it feels stupidely easy and sometimes I get out of random battles with really low HP
also the dog is really cool

Lloyd was the best. He went againts the grain. Collete knew she was a sacrificial lamb for a cycle that would only repeat. He questioned what it was for, and even if it started out of navietty, he eventually grew to find out the truth about the real world and how all of this is caused by a demigod's obsession with his dead sister.

look at all the sacrifices here, when they enter the Tower of Salvation for the first time to see all of the failed attempts at actually restoring the world's mana shortage.
Sheena and Raine found a way to solve the problem of the mana shortage by uniting the worlds.

Don't feel bad. That boss fucks up a lot of new players

Delicious thought. I only wonder which swordsmen you'd chose.

Mithos said as he was dying, if he were given a second chance at everything, he would do it all again.
Zero regrets, I liked Mithos as an antagonist, he had to be stoped

To this day, I believe Lloyd has the strongest intuition of all Tales protagonists. He's dumb as hell, but his ability to connect the dots is second to none.

Every other survivor of the original war has inherent longetivity and access to extreme skill and powerful magic as a racial trait, as well as bonuses like being able to bargain to spirits. Kratos was a completely regular human who taught himself magic that not even the average elf mage could learn with assistance, and also became strong enough to outlive his natural death. It was only after he naturally outlived the human lifespan while maintaining his current looks that mythos decided to make him an angel.

>what would he have done had Sheena never showed up?

he was an idealist (literally a title he gets in the game) who was in the right party in the right time, in the right world cycle to help figure out a way to restore the world. He was not the sole hero. Sheena played a crucial part to uniting the world's.

If Sheena was not there then there would still need to be a summoner to make a pact with the spirits and Origin in place of her. Lloyd in a hopeless scenario would fight until his last breath which would result in A) Mithos killing him and restoting his sister only to later start another sacrificial cycle OR Lloyd kills Mithos and the worlds eventually dies out due to a mana shortage. (sounds like a Nier ending)

But if the world is in the middle of ending, with no obsticles, I feel as though someone like Raine or Kratos would hypothesize a plan to either salvage what they got or find a summoner to do what Sheena was going to do. But this is just thinking of a best case scenario without Sheena.

The boss was originally balanced for the demo release and they forgot to change the numbers back. Nothing else in the game is that hard except for a few of the 1v1s.

Sheena was more important to the plot than Colette, sadly. Colette's existence drove the plot here and there, but she herself wasn't important. Thankfully, she did grow as a character over time. Sheena's ability served the group multiple times over.

Too bad she'll never be main girl, but at least her huge crush on Lloyd is hella fucking canon.

I dont know if anyone remembers this, but after you beat Vesperia DE and the game asks you to save your clear game data right after the credits, the background is like dark with black silhouettes
