Gameplay:
Titles:
Blast calibers:
well atm is all i can write cuz i gtg, i'll write more things and if u wanna know something just post a reply and i'll try to answer it editing this post, and if u need help in the game cuz u are stuck just drop me a line here or a message and if i know the answer i'll tell u my story proggess: I just finished the ig lizard stomach dungeon on the desert.
Kohaku from ToH confirmed as cameo, u can fight the green cameo guy (sorry don't remember name) after Gilbert joins ur party, the coliseum is on an island, the arles rise number on the bar goes up when u don't use a blast caliber but use artes and hit an enemy with them in Arles Rise mode, up to level 3 atm. Costumes are obtainable from leveling up titles, carta games has other Tales games seiyuu saying the "facts" from the character, sometimes the own character seiyuu talks.
Onyx out~
Gameplay:
it's pretty different from many tales games, at the start, the kids timeline part (about3-4 hours) is kinda easy, u just have to smash A button and ur safe, and when using Sophie using B to use First Aid, that's it, but when the 7 years timeskip happens Asbel becomes a really elaborate charater to use, he has 2 modes of battling, the first one being the one u used on the first part, just smash the A button and change the directon on the control stick to use different techniques, but when u smash B he uses a burst Attack that changes his mode to an "Full Arte" that is when u can use artes that u have set, the other character too have it but the artes are all magic, and with A are they meelee attacks whic differ from character to character
Titles:
U get titles by story scenes or doing certain things in battle etc etc, they are around 50 for each character (yes 50) and they have different effects on the character, when u finish battle u win SP aside from exp, this go directly to the equipped title and make it lvl up, and each title has 5 lvls and with each one a new, arte, Hp, upgrade, and a lot of more things, the stars at the lower part of the characters HP in the battle screen indicated the lvl of the current title
Blast calibers:
apparently each character has 3 Blast calibers, u gain the 1st one for Asbel at some point after Pascal joins ur party, the title starts with something about King :/, Cheria's 1st one comes after she re-joins ur party after Asbel got his Caliber, just equip the title and lv it Up 1 lv, Sophie's one is obtaibned after the battle with Richard in Rant, the title name's is "ano hi no shoujo" (the girl of that day), Marik's one, he comes with the title just as Cheria, just lv it up, nvr got richard, dunno if he rejoins the party in the future, Pascal's 1st one apparently I missed it I got the 2nd one with the Title "Aqua Summoner" it has to be leveled up to lv 3 to obtain it and u need the bar to lv 2, I have bar in lv 1 atm so i can't use it :/, i got it at a cutscen where she kinda summons Undine upon arriving at the 2nd desert town on a Big tower, and finally Gilbert, he hasn't join my party but i got the chance to use him twice in 2 different battles, he has his level 1 caliber in the 2nd battle, i was able to execute it, the Blast caliber is executed when u use an arte and hold B+A, is really tricky the timing with Magic users cuz if u hold b before releasing the magic it is charged so u have to press b+a right after the spell is used and can only be done when the Blu bar at the left of the screen fills up, in this mode u can use artes like crazy and don't get flinched by enemy attacks, currently in level 1, level 2 bar i don't know how to obtain it
well atm is all i can write cuz i gtg, i'll write more things and if u wanna know something just post a reply and i'll try to answer it editing this post, and if u need help in the game cuz u are stuck just drop me a line here or a message and if i know the answer i'll tell u my story proggess: I just finished the ig lizard stomach dungeon on the desert.
