Giving it another try.
I remember playing it back when I first came out for 360 and absolutely hated it. But I also can’t exactly remember why I hated it. I bought it with the idea of giving it a second chance someday. Well today is that day!
Pewpew swords
The only Tales i never finished was Zesteria.
It was because the character that i liked the most was taken from your party early on and never came back.
That shit dissapointed me so much that i couldnt finish it, lol.
So i watched the anime instead, where they not only made her one of the main chars, but also gave her the same powers as the protagonist from the game.
I’ve only played a small handful of them. Abyss , vesperia And one other I can’t remember
The Definitive edition of vesperia (what I’m playing) has a bunch of free DLC. Some of which auto levels you’re characters. There’s enough of them to level to 90 right out of the gate.
I remember in the 360 version you could buy XP mods I think or X00, X000, XX000 xp from the market place
Zesteria is probably the worst Tales game I ever played. The only thing I like about it is how, after playing Beseria, I have a better appreciation of the lore. The truth of events always gets skewed over time after finishing Beseria, Zesteria shows that.
Side Note: A lot people felt the way you did. I wasn’t happy with her not coming back either. They had a DLC that centered on her and I just the got the feeling it was more a “Oh Shit We Fucked Up” addition.
Edit: Worst MAINLINE Tales game. 
glares hatefully at Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New Word
Just remembered why I hate Vesperia. I don’t like how combo and set up heavy it’s battle system is.
Only battle system I really didn’t care for was Zesteria. As much as I hate Tales of Symphonia: DotNW, the battle system was actually pretty good. Unfortunately it was in a shit game starring Emil Castagnier. I’m bad with names and didn’t Google that. I’m pretty sure his name is correct. That’s how much I hate that character.
Tales of Graces is the goat cause Hubert.
Hey! I loved Dawn of the New World. Emil and Marta still have the best relationship in video games.
Losing Alisha pissed me off so much. She had all the making of an interesting and likable heroine. She had more going for her than the bitch who replaced her.
Wtf is up with Tales of Arise? Haven’t heard anything on that in a sec, was looking forward to it
Who was it that wanted the next gen Switch to be 1440p at 144hz ?
Yeah, not happening.
Facts.
COVID-19, it got delayed.
Not sure what’s your point here
Yeah despite the graphics the Mana series gets bitter to depressing on the regular.
Welp…looks like that Direct rumor was a bust…unless Ninty told the people the wrong date to try to find the leaker and that partner showcase was the direct that was supposed to happen this week. Wouldn’t put it past em. Whoever it is better watch themselves.

Got a feeling that 60fps will be tied to turning off Ray Tracing. If that’s the case, I won’t be seeing any Ray Tracing on PS5.
VGM Friday contribution
Well that is an interesting development with 60fps mode on R&C.
As a developer it seems like that would be a lot of effort to have a performance mode vs. graphics mode. I wonder if Sony made the PS5 have that kind of stuff be “free” in some sense or another or made it in a way that it doesn’t require too much effort, since it sounds like multiple games are doing that.
