I just came to this game now, a couple years later, when the DLC on sale caught my eye and drew me to the title. Somehow I missed this when it came out. Having an absolute blast with it, but the combat is very tricky. This video was immensely helpful in increasing my enjoyment of the excellent story by making combat so much less obscure. It looks like an action game, but it plays more like a strategy action game.

As a newcomer, I HIGHLY recommend Shionne over Rinwell for beginner at-range character. Rinwell's magic layering system is actually pretty complex and locks you into animations much longer than Shionne's arts. Also Shionne is the second character you get. Loved this video and this game! I usually only play shorter games, but I'm 70 hours into this one and keep going I'm enjoying it so much, on top of the amazing story.

It's not about just watching the gameplay, but also hearing some of the context! Naturally, you'll need to be familiar with some of the terms from the game since it does do a good job of teaching people how to play the game. This just adds a little bit more to give people the confidence to really experiment with the various systems in the game!

One additional piece of advice for people struggling with CP; disable resurection arts. These things are extremely costly and life bottles are a lot cheaper than cp recovery items and if you often craft you'll be needing for gald pretty often as the biggest source is the few sidequests and chests that contain gald (fights don't really give much even at higher difficulty)

Really well done video, my man! I'm a Tales veteran and have reached a point in the game where I'm struggling to beat some of the more powerful stuff in mid to late game when some general turn-based strategy with a small amount of button mashing is no longer effective enough! I had forgotten the ability to switch characters in and out from previous Tales games and had basically not even tried Mystic Artes much after previous Tales games made it so hard. Now that I know different ones have different recovery times, I can decide when to safely build up to a nuke or just use a quicker/safer option rather than ignore them entirely...

As someone who played a lot of DMC/Dark souls etc and just a little bit of tales this is so usefull. Great video. Never rly could get into tales somehow. And i have rly tried... Think this game will be different. So far, 10 hours in, the combat and exploration feels so much better then past tales games too me. This may turn out to be one of my favourite rpg's of all time!

General tips for those new to the series: as tempting as it can be, do not charge head on to the enemy. Roll your way to their rear and smack the normal attack until enemy in break status then spam those artes! Rinse and repeat. If things gets too spicy for you, know that theres a craftable accessory substat that makes enemy target you less often. Imo, the enemy NEVER target you at all with that . Idk its just me or i just like to smack them from the rear lmao. Im playing in hard mode and doing good at it. Normal mode should be a breeze for newcomers as long as you follow the tips given above.

I think it's partly because they didn't talk about a lot of the stuff I went over! You can pretty much take a lot of what I said in this video and apply it to the demo and a lot of it will work!

Dodging counts as an action for the purpose of maintaining your attack string, while allowing you to recharge your AG. This is most apparent with casters using the skill that reduces casting time based on combo length, as long as your constantly dodge when your not casting, you’ll retain your short cast times. The big casts that take 2 seconds or so can be dropped back to back with .5 second cast times, and because of this rinwell becomes one of the most powerful characters

Somethings not mentioned fully 1. You need to break an enemies guard to launch them into the air. They recover guard the second the word break disappears 2. The combo counter is based on the enemy not the player. Meaning the combo counter goes up as long as someone is hitting that enemy. This lets you hit 100+ combo easily 3. Combo damage decreases if you repeat the combo. So use a different Art each time when you string combos

Hoi are ons of the very few that thinks that is the case. Almost all find it the logical step in the tales series as fas as combat is concerned.

I though you would've explained the nuance of each character special feature (Scorching attack for alphen, grenade ammunition for shionne, artes stacking for rinwell, awakening for law, guarding with kisara and rod extension for dohalim). It is essential to learn to use these feature when playing each character to maximise their potential and it's also very fun to vary gameplay.

Thanks! Great Stuff

Glad you liked it!

2:38 Not being able to not cancel artes has always frustrated me. I played both Tales of Arise plus Berseria and it had these problems where i would try to combo the opponent, but then my unfortunate timing happens where the enemy does a super armor attack that i cannot dodge due to no animation cancel which causes me to then take damage or even getting KO'ed.. Still, i do appreciate a well made guide on the game though. Nice job!~ 😇

Thank you very much! 😊

One minor thing to point out as a Manual player. while the game auto targets and shifts the camera for you, that does not mean moving forward will stay on target. In Manual control, holding forward while attacking means you might push past your target. To remedy this, don't input a direction when you commit to a combo. Your character will automatically attack in the target's direction if none is inputted. All around good tips, though I might need to watch it twice to digest some of the more technical points.

This helps IMMENSELY, especially with Law and his incredibly tiny range (and how easy it is for him to miss attacks).

@@RicochetForce I'll bet, but as you likely know, getting combos is very easy with Law when you can consistently land hits. glad it helped.

Good video.
