My reactions to the trailer:

1) I'm going to miss you, Free-Run....made gang-raping enemies so much fun and avoiding those Negative Gates and Ground Dashers so much easier. Well they have to make it seem fresh because it's already getting enough "It's the same so it sucks".

1.5) Although I can see why they removed the Free-run attacks. Some were actually kinda cheap.

2) Whaddya bet the girl with purple hair is the female and she's the primary healer? Or at least the Farah Oersted/Regal Bryant style healer? I think they should have the healbot be the male this time. :P

3) Uh oh...medieval fantasy...I hope they pull it off in a way that doesn't make it seem like a D&D Ye Olde British Isles type place that bores me to tears and makes me feel like I saw it before. (Yes even you, Morrowind...you just look like Ye Olde British Isles if everything was rainy like the characters had numerous pairs of sunglasses fused to their eyes.)

4) So if the "A" and "B" buttons are going to use the styles, then what would the control be like?

1. I didn't really see anything that looked like solid prood Free Run was gone.

2. She looked more like a Senel type'd fighter character to me...

3. I saw tanks in an earlier trailer so it looks like it'll be set in a similer world to Abyss or Vesperia.

4. Wii-mote swinging?

Sim Kid · 07-10-2009, 05:31 PM

WiiMote swinging? I thought that would be using some techniques similar to binding artes to the right-analog stick.

chibimod3 · 07-10-2009, 11:39 PM

I about had a fangasm when I saw this video the first time. This wasn't it but I'm pretty sure someone also posted in the Nintendo Forums.

I think that free run will be there but the combat is more react to that before. I mean there has to be some mobility cause i hate getting screwed between 2 monsters on mania.

I can't wait I wonder if any of the pc's will have the gun weapon. Or will it be like tos where only a few people in the party use actual weapons as everyone else.

I'm also more interested to see some new types of artes. I liked in tos 2 that with the cores your moves changed a bit. Cool enough though I saw one of my favorite artes beast. Useful as anything else.

CuccoLady · 07-11-2009, 02:59 AM

I'll just play it when it comes out and decide then. :{D

chibimod3 · 07-11-2009, 11:42 AM

Guess that's the best way to go. Also they're rushing to get this out if it was only 30% in April. I'm hoping so at least.

1-up Salesman · 07-19-2009, 04:36 PM

Help, please! So, I got ToS, and have enjoyed it. Except one problem. My sister and I were going to do Co-Op, but for some reason, even though her controller is plugged in the P2 slot, it just won't work. It works fine for me, P1, but not for her. She can't even choose who she wants to control, even though it won't let her control anyone anyway.

P1 needs to set the character P2 wants to use to the second battle slot and then change the control type to manual or semi-auto. That should fix the problem, assuming I'm remembering it correctly.

1-up Salesman · 07-19-2009, 04:56 PM

^ The character P2 wants to use was set there.

**Loot** · 07-19-2009, 05:25 PM

BOTH need to be set to Manual/Semi-Auto.

chibimod3 · 07-20-2009, 07:10 PM

Sometimes during a play through with my friend it would do this so you need to set it during battle and it'll reset every time the battle is over. The same is if you want to switch character in battle and I think that was with tos so I hope it helps.

They actually had two characters in Tales of Innocence who had guns, a rifle and a dual-pistol wielder. Apparently the pistol-girl was actually pretty overpowered, and in Radiant Mythology 2 she outclasses pretty much everyone.

But man imagine how powerful a gun-wielder would be in games like Tales of Symphonia where you have practically no way to avoid. >.< god Legretta or even Yeager would ahve been the most annoying boss if they were in games like Tales of Symphonia or Legendia.

And the actual weapons...some in Symphonia weren't THAT impractical. Regal basically uses martial arts and those greaves can hurt. Just imagine how much he'll be able to hurt you if he didn't have the weight of metal greaves on his legs...ugh.

But stuff like the Kendama or Sheena's cards...yeah those probably wouldn't hurt. I thought Sheena used daggers.

CuccoLady · 07-21-2009, 01:50 AM

The thing with Sheena's cards is that they're all infused with powers and she uses spell thingies fused in them to fight. She's not hitting them with paper, she's using the spells engraved in the cards to attack. It's like a MAGICAL papercut.

**X-3** · 07-21-2009, 02:48 AM

BOTTA DIED TO A MAGICAL PAPERCUT
LUIN WAS ACTUALLY DESTROYED BY A MAGICAL PAPERCUT
A MAGICAL PAPERCUT KILLED MARTEL
ONLY THE MAGICAL PAPERCUT COULD STOP THE RAMPAGING TREE
YGGDRASSIL KILLED PROYNMA WITH A MAGICAL PAPERCUT
LLOYD BLED BECAUSE OF A MAGICAL PAPERCUT
ZELOS BETRAYED EVERYONE TO JOIN THE SIDE WITH THE MAGICAL PAPERCUT
THE MAGICAL PAPERCUT SPLIT THE TWO WORLDS
PRESEA DOES NOT AGE BECAUSE OF A MAGICAL PAPERCUT
ABYSSION SEEKS THE POWER OF THE MAGICAL PAPERCUT
MASTER VAN SAID THAT MAGICAL PAPERCUTS ARE DEADLY

Also, finished my file with a Sheena ending, somehow. Not sure if I want to farm GRADE for ultimate power.

Sim Kid · 07-21-2009, 03:13 AM

It'd be extra funny if they caused poison.

**Loot** · 07-21-2009, 07:58 AM

The kendamas are common instruments in that world. They're used to draw the spell caster's concentration on their spell while channeling mana. Pretty similar to hand signs of ninjas or sword dances.

Using them as melee weapons, however, makes no sense. Srsly.

chibimod3 · 07-21-2009, 10:57 AM

Um... most spell casters that you see and fight have staffs.

Well I understand that I just meant that why would noone you get use a crossbow or some other normal mass produced weapon. I mean Lloyd was self trained regal can only kick so i see his. Raine does use a staff so she's cleared. Sheena has her magical talismans. Presea uses an axe? I mean I guess she's ok with that because the Martel Knights use pole axes but still. I guess it's for wood chopping. Kratos and Zelos are the only characters in the world to use a shield. The bosses don't even use shields. And Genis' kendama makes practically no sense at all. I know you have mad kendama skills Genis but that is not going to impress the ladies.

**X-3** · 07-21-2009, 03:12 PM

The only person that will impress is Mithos, and he's only going to be impressed due to Genis' race. Also, he likes his sister. Also also, he's more likely to be the man in the relationship.

And on Mania with no exp buff Genis and Raine die loads as well. Till they hit like level 10 or 15 then they stop dying because Genis has the MP. And Raine actually attacks to gain MP back.
