    Tales of Arise

    It's one of these big mob thing only that it's not on the map, but always pops when you do that fight, you get a sidequest for it like 5mins later once you get into the city, but he's somewhat high lvl the first time, he fucked me up too but and then you can see in the monster list thing he's...

    Tales of Arise

    Pretty far into the game(I think) myself, like 4 areas done, on the "last" one(although I'm sure there's gonna be another after cause what JRPG doesn't have additional areas once you're "done" with the first objective), few things I'm not a fan so far. First is boss fights and how they just...

    Tales of Arise

    Not sure what difficulty the demo is on, but in the full game the other chars are basically worthless as per usual in Tales, they extend combos, do a bit of damage and handle the heals, but they eat boss attacks constantly and do like the same as your own damage with all of them combined due to...

    They made Advent Children, which was alright.

    Tales of Arise

    What I read and the names do sound like "Something Arte Name" which would just be a copy of "Arte Name" but available much earlier. I haven't really found the Artes yet though so can't compare. These exist in every modern Tales, it's kinda whatever since there's a level cap, you just get there...

    Tales of Arise

    From what I read the DLC artes are just copies of midgame Artes, so not sure it's gonna impact that much, but the passives are definitely an additional advantage over a standard player, unless there's a cap to how much you can stack each stat(since even the normal skill trees have multiple of...

    I don't, I hate fucking cloud save syncing, shit will bug out rarely but when it does it fucks up all your fucking saves cause the cloud didn't sync properly and then overwrite your local saves with older saves for whatever fucking reason. I'm an old fuck, I just run a .bat file that does...

    Tales of Arise

    Might be a weird pad issue but yeah for me on a DS4 the "Start" button which is Options brings up a Return to title menu shit and can exit that way. That said alt F4 would be faster anyway, you load the movie and then have to press a button to get the main menu stuff to show up before you quit...

    Tales of Arise

    Been playing since it launched, beat first boss, so far it's definitely very good, the bump in graphical quality makes the game feel a lot less "cheap", story is alright nothing too big happened so far, difficulty seems proper on Moderate(first boss took a while, drained all CP but still had a...

    I guess looking at Berseria posts, there wasn't much that was actually missable, guess I remember it wrong. Last I played was Vesperia and had a bunch of missable stuff. So wouldn't be too much of a surprise if there's no/few missables in this too. Still probably a good idea to do sidequests...

    Tales of Arise

    Hmm I don't know how true his tip about sidequests and skits is. They might have changed heavily from previous Tales, but generally speaking Tales have a TON of missables, due to time related availability. For example you have to go back to city 2 to talk to some guy to get a quest chain before...

    Yeah PS4 works fine now, need a dongle for bluetooth though can't just work it directly I believe, or obviously can just plug it in. Some indie/older games might not recognize it properly however, but if you launch Steam first, you can use the Steam gamepad support to basically make it work with...

    No game would have "Steam controller" support only, the Steam controller isn't even in production anymore. Plus Steam itself lets you emulate controllers however you want. The store page mentions full controller support, and the link above mentions they even have the proper controller prompts(so...

    Tales of Arise

    Berseria was pretty cool, although the story is very anime, in fact most of them have very anime tropes and stuff. It at least starts a bit different than the usual "a young boy in a random village begins his adventure" kind of trope. The combat is what makes Tales though, and Berseria was great...

    Shards/crystals is the one thing bots are good for, the prices are pretty low so it's worth just buying them, although you have to keep track of the prices a bit and check other servers, since sometimes for whatever reason one type will go up like crazy for a few days. Ymmv depending on how...

    It is somewhat overtuned compared to some other dungeons, but is overall not that hard, it does have weird quirks though, like how the pulls aren't clearly defined with walls. There's walls, but pulling wall to wall is pretty brutal to heal and tank because it has many high damage mobs and the...

    Get MGP FC buff(via FC or via the tickets from the weeklies squadron stuff) and do Fashion Report. It's 60k every week, with just that, and generally takes about 5mins and 2 to 50k gold depending on the items. After that you can either do challenge log with the minigames+GATE stuff(that's like...

    Oh so fucking nothing then, good. Oh well, have plenty of games to play until Endwalker and then should last enough time until Lost Ark with more filler games inbetween.

    To be fair, they don't really "throw their lot" with anything, it's just kinda stupid to release 2 mmos close to each other, even if they weren't ran by the same company. It'll just make more money to delay them, and since they control both release dates, it makes even more sense to do so(and...

    Some of it changes yeah, but it's not adapted further after more events pass, it's like 4.0 events only, so with everything happening after until 4.3 and stuff, it just doesn't make much sense anymore.

    The class quests were originally meant to be something you did at the "correct" level, so they actually lined up nicely enough. I played MNK for SB's launch, and I did the quest in parallel with the MSQ so they weren't out of place, but yeah if you do them separately or after the fact, they...

    This was specifically for new classes which start 10levels lower. There's no new storyline for these until you reach 80. Speeding through that part asap(and especially getting to 71 so you can do Bozja) actually somewhat matters, since you get to the new content faster and can potentially do EX...

    Can't do Trusts at 70 iirc? As I mentionned my plan is to turn in 30 sidequests(I left a lot of them in the 2nd half of Kholusia and Ahm Aereng) and then do one leveling roulette, that's what I did when I played DNC first in ShB, although that's assuming I go with Reaper or Sage, which I'm...

    Yep, although it's generally pretty quick to catch up cause you get armory bonus(the full one, currently it's 50% for these levels but after expansion it's 100% cause it's not the cap anymore)+earring(as long as you preorder which you should anyway since it's an expansion, and you can "preorder"...

    I don't think I saw anyone mention it but they announced next Live Letter will be on September 18th(11AM Japan time). Will have the combat info stuff, like the new skills every classes are getting and likely a demo of the 2 new jobs. Probably some more stuff too, but definitely something to...

    They already trimmed, could trim more but I guess they still wanted a certain experience with it. Hopefully once they start 7.0 they just offer a way to bypass the entire current story arc for new players, with a new summarized start that basically act as a boost. I think 7.0 would be a good...

    There would be a better way(as in higher dmg), and that'd be what you'd end up doing though. And filling just one bar is even more boring, since you're literally just spamming the same 2 buttons as it fills up. The class is boring and I hate it, but it's designed to be simple for people who...

    A lot of the classes are realistically "impossible". Some have 1 to 3 clears, and generally by the same 2-3people worldwide who just spam potd all day like Angelus Demonus. It's pretty easy to check the scoreboards and see the classes are nowhere equal when it comes to potd(it's a bit better for...

    MCH is actually the strongest class in potd currently, although it is somewhat harder to learn than RDM but has many advantages over it. The main issue with MCH is Behemoth, which is noticeably harder than on RDM since you can't heal, but you make up for that by having a much easier time in the...

    Na most dungeons follow the same pattern after HW, basically 2packs > wall/door/bridge/whatever > 2packs > wall > boss, repeat twice. Sometimes it's 3packs, sometimes 1pack, but still the same concept overall and since you pull everything together at the wall, it doesn't really matter. The xp...

    How do you fight the Sunday Scaries?

    I remember the Sunday scaries, when you had a literrature report on Monday but you hadn't even started reading the book yet so you're trying to speed read it but you know there's just enough time and you have no idea what's going on in the story so you just make up some generic shit and hope...

    Iirc AV has level sync to 49, which means item sync to 49 also, which is basically nothing. I remember they changed some shit in AV though so might have changed but otherwise people doing it wouldn't be any better than if you had say AV gear. Then on top of that, people having gear doesn't help...

    Leves are not good for combat no. Neither are FATEs really, although they were buffed so they're not terrible. Could probably do one char on FATEs before it gets too boring. Other than potd, it's just dungeons. Honestly DPS queues aren't that bad. While waiting, you can do beastmen daillies(not...

    While RNG plays a part, it's more knowledge and focus that matter, a lot of the RNG can somewhat be edged out with proper play and decision making but you need to learn a lot of stuff like what type of detection every monster has, what monsters can be killed without poms, which can be killed...

    I'm not sure why one would pick RDM for potd if it's party based anyway, I mean it's not bad but it's not really much better than anything else I think, weird choice but I guess he wanted to level it, or he listened to chat telling him stupid stuff. But yeah in that case it's much much easier...

    A tank should be able to solo mobs even at high floors, although some of them have gimmicks and some will still punch your face in if you don't have Steel on, so guess he took it too carelessly. That said people can rez at least in parties. PotD is deceptively hard once you get to high floors...

    You can just level it by fishing normally. Unlike the other 2 gathering which are slow as fuck, Fishing actually gives pretty good xp, so you can for example go around completing your fishing log while getting xp. Once you reach HW+ you can also fish a few scrip fishes to speed up the process...

    Yeah as mentionned the 2nd step of the aoe combo can be used raw if you need it, it's a standard circle aoe too instead of the weird cone shit, so it's nice enough, although when the situation allows for it overpower is better since it unlocks the combo on mythril tempest. You can also use the...

    The questing gets A BIT better, but it's still questing. The story gets better so it makes the quest less annoying, but ultimately most quests are still "Go talk to that guy, kill a couple of trash mobs, talk to that other dude, eh here's a solo instance where you'll likely fight 3waves of trash...

    Check that the fights actually have files for them. Not everything does, a lot doesn't actually, it's mostly raids and EX trials that do(and normal raids often don't have full support either). There's a debug mode to check things out if you read the readme, like you go fight the dummy in...
