DragonFlames Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Meanwhile, I made some progress in Dragon Star Varnir. Even on Hard, I'm curbstomping most everything that the game throws at me (thank you, New Game Plus!), but there are a surprising (and alarming) amount of enemies that survive a hit (currently at the start of Chapter 4). In any case, I'm trying to use this playthrough not only to get more character endings (aiming for Minessa's or Laponette's next), but also to get the Dragon Cores I missed on my first run.

But other than that, I think she's a sweet character. ...Are...you okay DragonFlames? Any problems you...you want to talk about buddy? Any good cults you...joined lately?

Armagon Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Mid-game thoughts on Tales of Berseria (for reference, i've just entered Palamedes). The whole party is good. I can't say yet where i would rank them relative to other games i've played but the cast is the definitive strong point of this game. Not Bienfu though. If i had to rank the characters themselves so far: Eizen Velvet Rokurou Eleanor Magilou Laphicet On the other side though, the villains are actually.........very weak so far. Even Artorius, a.k.a, evil Dunban, isn't really that compelling yet. I don't know if any of this will change later but yeah, i don't really care for the villains. Music's still unmemorable. Doesn't help that some area themes are just straight-up reused. Combat is still good though i will say it does fall a bit short compared to other ARPGs/Action games i've played in some areas. I completed one boss battle with three out of four party members dead (not counting the ones in sub) and the only ones that got EXP was the last one standing and the two party members in sub. It's one of those games, huh. Speaking of boss battles, the game really likes to surprise you with them. There's a few times where there's zero indication that there will be a boss but then a boss just shows up. Wish it'd stop that. I don't get why warp points exist in dungeons only sometimes. 5 hours ago, DragonFlames said: Ah, I see! I remember running into that battle for the first time... hoo boy, that was rough. Mostly because it took me completely by surprise. I was level 90-something, I think? Definitely below 100, but not by much. It was a while ago, so I can't remember what party I used. I still haven't beaten that fight. 2 hours ago, Falcom Knight said: Where's Monono? It's the only quest Noppon I'm missing. Pretty sure Monono is the last one you get. He can be found in Gran Dell but you can't really do his quest until you recruit all of the other Ponspecters.

DragonFlames Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I wonder when I'll get to write a bad end... You guys cheated death twice now... --- I have this strange urge to listen to this theme a lot recently. I dunno why. It just keeps coming back to me.

Shrimpica Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Ya know, i wish more games do split MC/Party/lead thing. Like Radiant Dawn, Megadimension, etc. I always end loving those games, mainly due to prespective change, gameplay change and getting to know characters better.

It's one of the things I liked about that game, actually. But other than those three, I can't think of many games that have done this.
