If you've just completed the Desert then you're a little pass half-way I think... Memory a bit hazy.

[EmagEvil]

My AT?

It's my first play, and i didn't skip any dialogues of the game. So by your answer it seem that i'm still far away? That's a relief! Thanks man!

EDIT : Thanks guys i mean...

[Von Himmel]

I mean where are you right now sorry for that. It should still be pretty long.. not to mention that the dungeons in this game are easy to get lost too sometimes

I see sorry didn't get AT meaning at all... I'm right in the coliseum for the 1st time, just free the hostage...

*1 week later*

... Cleared the big planet arc(forgot the name), back to Euphenia to kick Lambda's butts! But before leaving i noticed some roads with chest inacessive on this world's outside, hope that i can go back for those later...

... BTW a fandom question(maybe?), i saw players motionned the couple Hubert x Pascal, is it really official(i saw some hints until now in the game but no spoilers please)? If so, it's somewhat a little disturbing because of their ages's difference(17 x 22), but without taking account of this detail, they're forming a nice couple!

[frubam]

No it is not "official" by any means, but that is to say or NOT to say that they are/aren't a couple. It has been mentioned only because they have been revealed to be a cameo battle in the up-and-coming Tales of Hearts R for the Vita.

[EmagEvil]

Oh i see, it's only a fandom wish then... Thanks for the explanation man!

And after the battle in the cocoon, it's the Future Arc next? Just curious without spoilers please.

Nope! You've got a leetle more than that left in the main story.

Yeah i saw it after i cleared it yesterday, now 79 hours on the count, lv62 for my crew, and i unlocked the Evil mode, played on it in the underground below the cocoon, i was massacred... I low on the Hard mode, its still too hard... Now i'm on the Moderate and at last i survived...

Going hard/evil on first game is quite a challenge, what's your team?

Huh? There's a lot more than that. The reason why people ship those two together is because of the Future arc ending.

I said it that way so that he would find out himself rather than looking toward waiting for an event =02

[EmagEvil]

Okay, 100 hours of playing, in the Future arc, fought against Little Queens, now on the way to shut down the core... And now i discovered the relation between Hubert X Pascal! LOL at the Aroma scene! Ewww said Marik! No worries guys...

I don't remember well, but it had Asbel, Hubert, Marik and maybe Sophie or Cheria, but the problem is the foe hit Asbel 2 times and he's dead already... Im' using Life Bottles every 10 secondes! That's why i'm playing on Moderate now...

[Von Himmel]

It's what makes tales so fun isn't it?

You should try Cheria sometimes.. she's a pretty good attacker.

I tried, but she didn't hit hard enough... She's more useful to heal the party...

... And i think Marik is more powerful than Pascal, his spells are devastating!

Wut.

Pascal hits like an oncoming train; she just has to be in the enemy's face to hit anyone, which tends to be bad for survival.

And Cheria is awesome at all the things. Don't blaspheme.

There's a couple of her skills that gives good hit, but don't worry about it for now I think playing the way you like for the first time is better to enjoy this game fully. Then after that you can look up some videos about her to see how she works

... And i think Marik is more powerful than Pascal, his spells are devastating

and MANLY.

That's the important part.

Marik too hit like a train, like his spell who compress the foe, and he didn't need to be on the enemy's face... Because when i used Pascal instead of Marik, she run into the foes and be comboted... And i survived on some Hard Mode battles thanks to him, not to her...

And Cheria is awesome at all the things. Don't blaspheme.

If you mean a character in story, she's kinda cute, but like a fighter she can't hit hard, not blaspheme it's true...

EDIT : I see yeah she had some usefull attack spells, thx for the infos Von Himmel!

You're on Semi-Auto! Pascal can only really work her magic on Manual. On Semi-Auto, she'll keep trying to make sure her A-Artes actually hit something, when that's not really what they're for -- particularly the first hit in her combo.

If you're not controlling her... well... the Ally AI isn't really super.

Pascal's spells, IIRC, are stronger stat-wise than Malik's. But this is Tales; it's more about using them properly than straight up power. I found Malik annoying to control directly, and since I like to switch among my party members, that eliminated him in my own party most of the time. Except when I am grinding his titles.

Oh no, no, no. There's a reason that there are tons of videos of Cheria soloing the game on Chaos. Plus, when you're having trouble, she keeps the others running around and doing damage.

However, I agree with Von Himmel in that you should play the game in the way that you have fun; that's the only 'right' way to play after all.

I didn't play the mages yet, they're always controled by AI, that's why i think Marik is more usefull...

Didn't saw any of those videos because they might spoil, but if you say so she might be great, but i'm still too green to play that way...
