The Official TALES Thread (Sword Rain Alpha) - Tales of Berseria Coming!

[MrQuotes]

graces is lookin good

hopefully at least that will get a release.

now time to find a friend that owns a Wii.

[specs]

I should know better. I mean, I REEEEEEEEEALLY should know better…

But Tales of Graces looks pretty good.

Still won’t buy it if it forces me to get a Wii-mote + Nunchuk for every player.

Dr. B wouldn’t force no Nunchuk on me, even though he has the power to. No homo.

[System_1]

Apparently it has Classic Control support.

Apparently it has Classic Control support.

… Interesting. Not as interesting as if it had GC controller support, but interesting nonetheless.

Dr. B interests me in homosexual ways. No homo.

Bwahahaha INDIGNATION! Oh, and Repede gets costumes and you can actually use him as an avatar on the world map now. I’m jealous.

[Celcius]

Just beat the japanese ps3 version of vesperia despite knowing zero japanese (I had already beaten the x360 version twice). I highly recommend it for those of you debating whether or not to import it.

Is looking nice so far, it shows they are actually trying with this one, a rarity among Wii games.

Full screen version: [media=youtube]Hxqal8ze6ls[/media]

Looks like quite a bit of drama.

Whoever’s playing in that gameplay vid… needs to use normal attacks into techs.

[King9999]

im still hesitant on spending like 90 some odd dollars on a game in a language i barely comprehend.

im still holdin out for some hope, but if nothing is announced in a few months, ill most likely import it as well

Keep the faith. If SO4 can come to PS3, then so can ToV.

Tales of Graces looks pretty damn nice. I like how they designed the world map.

[Geohound]

Graces is looking good, I wonder if the dual fighting styles of Asbel transfer over to everyone else.

And wow, this read truly revived, looks like we’ve done a fine job :smokin:

[System_1]

Yeap, everyone in Graces has dual fighting styles. Also Classic Controller support for Graces is confirmed, so no need to worry about waggling. Also BTW Graces HAS no normal attack button. It’s all artes, for the guy above who was wondering why no normal attacks got used. One of the aims of Graces’s arte system is to blur the lines between artes and normal attacks iirc. The CC system means that TP isn’t an issue. In fact, have this wall of text explaining how the artes system works:

Looks like the Artes for the A button are a graduated or tiered system of Artes that can be strung together to access more or different Artes.

Let’s go ahead and take an example using English named Artes.

So on Neutral A we’ll have: Demon Fang -> Azure Edge -> Azure Storm -> Dragon Swarm.

So we press A once and we get Demon Fang. We press A again and we’ll now get Azure Edge. Press A a third time and we link to Azure Storm and on the fourth press of A we get Dragon Swarm.

So our combo will start with Demon Fang then Azure Edge then Azure Storm and finish off with Dragon Swarm. Make sense?

So let’s say we start off with Demon Fang, but don’t want to combo to Azure Edge, we can then press Up A and link to Sonic Thrust, then press Neutral A and get Azure Storm and press Neutral A once more and get Dragon Swarm.

So our new combo looks like Demon Fang -> Sonic Thrust -> Azure Storm -> Dragon Swarm.

For each Arte we link, we increase the CC cost by 1. So the first combo is 1+2+3+4 = 10 CC. The second combo also equals 10 CC.

So what if we want to link 2 Artes from the same tier? That’s a little trickier, but it looks like by the time you get to the third tier you can swing back and forth between tier 2 (CC 2) and tier 3 (CC 3) Artes just by using any of the directional Artes except neutral.

In otherwords, Tier 3 Up A, Left A, Down A, Right A will send you back to Tier 2. Tier 2 Neutral A, Up A, Left A, Down A, Right A will send you back to Tier 3. You can do this infinite number of times with two stipulations:

1. You don’t run out of CC.
2. You don’t combo to Tier 3 Neutral A.

thanks dude from official tales boards. for the curious here’s asbel’s artes in the TGS demo, from the same guy:

Asbel
???CC1?? ??CC2??? ? ?CC3?? ?CC4
N?Shunka? Setsuga ? Soushou ?Souha
?? ??? ? Senshinkyaku? Retsushinkohou ?
? ??? ? Houyokushou ? Senrouga ?
? ??? ? Suieijin ? Saijinreiga ?

[specs]

^ Oh wow.

I’m suddenly looking forward to trying this out!

Is there a jump button? I notice combat in the video was behind the back. Here’s hoping they finally removed the “2D fighting in 3D” nonsense.

Dr. B can combine Demon Fang and Mad Sexy into Mad Sexy Demon.

[System_1]

I don’t think there’s a jump button, There sure isn’t room for one with the default controls. Since the camera is behind the back you move with Up and Down, with Left and Right controlling sidesteps. No Free Running this time, just sidesteps. Holding the Guard button and moving triggers either an Around Step, an Aiming Step or a Back Step depending on the direction pressed. The D-Pad is used to instantly switch between characters on the field. Also, the B button acts as a traditional Artes button. The closest thing to a normal attack is the attacks performed when switching between styles. edit: here’s a simpler explaination of how artes work in ToG:

By pressing A you’ll use Shunka. Then, if you press A after Shunka you’ll use Setsuga; if you press down/up with A after Shunka, you’ll use Senshinkyaku;if you press left with A after Shunka, you’ll use Houyokushou; if you press right with A after Shunka, you’ll use Suieijin.

If you press A after using either Setsuga, Senshinkyaku, Houyokushou or Suieijin, you’ll use Soushou; If you press up/down with A after using either Setsuga, Senshinkyaku, Houyokushou or Suieijin, you’ll use Retsushinkohou(The Beast look-alike); If you press left with A after using either Setsuga, Senshinkyaku, Houyokushou or Suieijin, you’ll use Senrouga; If you press right with A after using either Setsuga, Senshinkyaku, Houyokushou or Suieijin, you’ll use Saijinreiga.

If you press A after using either Soushou, Retsushinkohou, Senrouga or Saijinreiga, you’ll use Souha; If you press up/down with A after using either Soushou, Retsushinkohou, Senrouga or Saijinreiga, you’ll use Senshinkyaku; If you press left with A after using either Soushou, Retsushinkohou, Senrouga or Saijinreiga, you’ll use Houyokushou; If you press A after using either Soushou, Retsushinkohou, Senrouga or Saijinreiga, you’ll use Suieijin.

If you press A after using Souha you’ll use Shunka and restart the tier.

Pressing B while attacking with A will make the character use it’s Style Shift attack and then let you combo it with the attack you want. Pressing A while attacking with B will make the Character use it’s Style Shift attack and then start the combo from the start of the tier.(Example: [press ??B] > Majinken [press B] > Meizanpuu [press A] > Style Shift [press A] > Shunka [press ??A] > Senshinkyaku [press B] > Style Shift [press ??B] > Majinken) Of course you shouldn’t be able to do such a big combo unless you are in Arles Rise, so…

[Divinus]

Just to revive the thread: Idolmaster and Miku Hatsune in ToG. It’s probably DLC though. (Does Wii even have DLC? I already forgot)

And I’m not surprised with the Miku costume. I always thought Sophie looked like her. :lol:

[AlphaDragoon]

No Free Run = WHAT THE FUCK.

It’s more “2D” than the last 3 games now.

[HARD_BREAD]

There is free run, it just consumes a shit load of CC…Kouli from the tales forum is streaming

he plans to finish the game today.

[Dios_X]

Tales of Vesperia is never coming to PS3 in america huh? Fucking sucks.

[AlphaDragoon]

Tales of Vesperia is never coming to PS3 in america huh? Fucking sucks.

I completely agree.

[angelpalm]

Anyone know if there will be more DLC for the xbox version of ToV?

Cool info.

A question: is there multiplayer? Can there even be multiplayer considering the combat view?

Dr. B is “multiplayer” in the sense that he’s many kinds of “player.”
