The battle system is okay, but most times I just found myself using that fusion ability where you and another teammate join as one (and become more than a little OP). Sucks that you don't get to select a large number of attacks when you go into battle (you get like 4 slots, like the old Tales of games, plus some extras for other teammates + fusion modes, I think). It's a far cry from Xillia, which finally let you go crazy with 16 mappable moves, or even Vesperia and Abyss with 8.Ooh then as someone who's basically going from Symphonia -> Abyss -> Zestiria, it should be pretty amazing actually.

Quote:Don't get too attached to some characters in your party. Some of them (not going to spoil it for you) are literally not important to the story after a certain part (because they're not with your party, like ever again...) Some of the personalities fall flat. Zaveid and Rose are cool, Liliah's alright, everyone else is I don't care. When you play it, you'll see what I'm talking about when I say Rose should have been the main character. She totally has more going for her than Sorey.Heh, I'll come back to this one. It'd be nice to compare my experience to yours.
Quote:Final complaint, there are a crap-ton of options. From upgrading weapons, to skills, to adding bonuses in battle, to pulling off "Secret artes" and comboing arts... It's actually pretty overwhelming. The game only spares a few fleeting moments of "on-screen" dialog boxes that tries to explain a lot without really being helpful. I know the whole trend these days is to not provide printed manuals, but really, for all the genres out there, RPGs are probably the one type of game that require manuals of some sort. At least give me a downloadable PDF. That doesn't use any paper, and I can look at it on my phone...That actually sounds pretty nice. I mean they actually spent some time in increasing the (re)playability in some way.
But I rarely ever make use of these kinda content, even if I try to (like the gem crafting in Xenoblade). But if it's implemented nicely then who knows.
What system did you play this on btw?

The one that's also on Steam? Oh I see it's a Koei developed game, so it's probably a hack-n-slash title. No wonder it's still €50.
