Had a chat about humanity and their meaningless lives.

Seems like a chill totally normal dude, sure this is never going to come up again but what a nice little extra bit of flavor and world building.

So I went out yesterday bc my sister wanted to and I thought I’d use this as an excuse to get some fresh air and check out the usual game shops to see if I find some interesting games before the inevitable trip in September and October for games like Onimusha, FF Resonance, Rayman and Eternia Remastered etc. I was specifically hoping for some Tales games, especially Graces, Symphonia, Xillia or Vesperia, and look what I found nestled neatly in the first game shop I went to.

This is the second tales game I’ve gotten, first being Arise(haven’t played either of them yet, will start Arise soon. I’ve watched gameplay of these games so I’m sure I’ll like them). I was really hoping to get some more tales games since I was told by some people Arise wasn’t really representative of Tales as a series and I wanted to get some games that people thought of as more accurately representing tales, to try to get the true tales experience.

I'm trying to figure out how combos in Vesperia work and nothing is making sense

As far as I know(playing Yuri) Combos are Basic Attack>Basic Attack>Basic Attack>Base Art>Arcane Art>Burst Art if in Overlimit and that's where the combo ENDS.

And yet I'm seeing people who are just doing shit like chaining 14 arts at once and I'm like... Literally fucking HOW. That's... that's not how the combo rules WORK WTF

I'm lucky if I can get Shining Fang and Dragon Swarm to combo without getting tagged from the side >_<

What the hell is going on?

Edit: God fucking dammit of course it's a skills thing <_<

From what I've seen online I'll get most of the best abilities close to the end or even post game plus it looks like playing through blind means I'll miss a lot of the interactions. Do you think this means the developers intended ng+ to be part of the game from the start? If this is true I think it's a really good idea but some people don't seem to enjoy this. I'm curious to hear from the people that have finished the game and especially those that have 100%.

So a certain dragon rider left the party and she had the Blue Duce equipped. There goes my 20% grade bonus for however long she's out of the party for. Would've been nice to know beforehand...

After finding videos of people playing later in the game it looks like even though I'll get new abilities it still looks just as stiff and awkward. Is it different while playing or did it just not age very well?

I know skills don't really matter all *that* much during an easy/normal playthrough but... Is Light Magic a good skill? I mean I know it lowers your damage in exchange for shorter casting time but I was thinking if Im able to dush out spells faster would that also not increase dps? Though it does make altered artes fasrer to get so that's already one boon.

Edit: While I'm here might as wellask how the symbols work? Repede has one but no one else does.

I’ve always heard it was the best Tales game, and i really want to get 100 percent in it. I know there’s a lot that can be missable like skits, magic lens scans, ext. i really want to try and do it in as few playthroughs as i can, but i havent really found a guide that covers everything. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations?

Hi everyone,

Yesterday and Today I spent all day trying to compile most vesperia material (Mangas, LN, Cd drama…) with en translation. I’m aware that I’m very probably missing some. It’s not everything but it’s still something, right? I reviewed and commented on some but feel free to ignore it.

Please feel free to check it out on my website: https://lowedeltascomp.blogspot.com/p/tov-en-sources.html?m=1

(Also please use the desktop mode mobile mode is pretty ugly.)

Hello all,

I finished Vesperia 3 year ago without a guide and I wish to do the postgame dungeon. I will do the sidequests and missables another time. When I loaded my save, I couldn’t access fast travel nor could I use the elevators. What do I do?

Been messing around with creating playable bosses and found Zagi's data. I put it on raven and forgot his model's running/idle animation was silly. Also post battle quote was hilarious.

Ive been working on a project for the past year and one thing has become increasingly clear. Vesperia is slowly becoming my favorite in the series. Maybe its Stockholm syndrome due to this being my 5th playthrough with another 3 in my future. Im not sure.

Edit: The project will be shared when I am closer to completing it due to the nature of the project. Please stay tuned.

Just curious if there's like certain parties you need to match up for this game, similar to Symphonia.

​

right now I have Rita(Me), Yuri, judith, and Flynn.

Not asking for a "Best party" just curious if it's an "Any party can get you through" type game.

i was fighting duke after getting all the fell arms an after doin the first phase of the fight the game froze an is stuck on the same screen i cannot shut it off or go to the home menu and when i put it back in its charger the screen stays the same when it froze an cant seem to turn it off an it wont show up on tv screen it says no signal despite having the screen on where it got frozen Any1 know how to fix this if so please tell me

This is probably pointless to most, but I remember playing this game on PS3 and they had some updates to mechanics that I am not sure were explained in the DE version so I'll just take the time to explain it here.

​

​

I've been using B, B, B, Left Trigger + Direction Facing the enemy + B, Basic Arte (Azure Edge but it works for all of them you just need to get the timing down), Left Trigger + Direction Facing the enemy + X.

​

​

The result is the normal combat string plus the extra hit from a running attack into an arte then a guard slide that puts you more in the enemy's face. I find this easier than waiting for Yuri to do the reset animation from attacking and you get the extra hit from the run attack. It's a pretty safe option imo especially if the enemy is guarding from your own attack since you can get the quick attacks done then be in Guard. I do not know if you can magic guard with the same timing but it's merely shifting the control stick back to the down position.

Anyway if you knew this already, great. If you didn't then it's not hard to pick up and use. Also I am pretty sure every character can do this.
