Nah it's just once you get past the pretty coat of paint you realize it's just a plain old tales game aka shoulda waited until it was $20. :russ:

Besides Deathloop is a much better experience.
its clear that most reviewers never got past the 4th lord or played on anything above normal

:dwillhuh: You can save from anywhere in the menu though.

He mentioned camps, so I'm sure he's speaking about replenishing CP, rather than having to utilize items.

So now you saying you don't like the game, lol?

I'm approaching 4th lord soon on hard. Let's see if I share the sentiment as I proceed further.

And @Dallas' 4 Eva Deathloop a whole different genre. Don't really see the point of comparison. Ironically, I'll be waiting for that to hit 20 bucks since I don't play FPSes like that.

Not me comparing, just me saying which game is superior bruh. :yeshrug:

Once I got deeper into this I realized it's just a regular old Tales game. Nothing wrong with that, just wish I woulda waited until it was $20-30. Besides the pretty new coat of paint this game doesn't do anything new aka I coulda waited.

bruh you gotta chill with the criticism = don't like the game stuff :dead:

its straight. but some of this stuff is straight up not entertaining and detracting.

but mainly - if you're ever preparing for specific mechanics instead of the overall gameplay experience, there's a problem worth mentioning as it actively takes away from the positives.

now that i know that dungeons are gonna be endurance treks, i gotta deliberately manage resources. now that i know bosses are just gonna get hyper armor and spam ults when they're under a certain threshold, i won't even bother with some of the combos that i actually enjoy using. that's what you have to do :manny: i probably ain't gonna be threatened again til new game+ either way but this game takes the wind out of its own sails like crazy.

Just finished the prologue/first lord. Haven’t played one of these since Xilia 2 but it’s pulled me right back in.

I can tell it’s gonna be challenging, but I doubt anything can frustrate me more than Victor or Raven/Schwann from Vesperia

I'm gonna try to finish this before Sunday. Probably gonna start a new playthrough of Berseria right after for better comparison. That and Deathloop will get juggled.

You play and do enough in a game, the game will reward you for it.:manny:
The reason I never heard it is because it happens when you finish a battle with a Rinwell X Law finisher. I mostly did combo attacks with Alphen and another party member. I didn't really even realize until later in the game the direction you push for the finisher determines one of the 2 characters in it.
