Getting all the titles is just so bullshit, it's really not worth it at all.
Haha I remember your Vesperia exploits, you got all 1000 gamerscore right? Great commitment! I got that 700, looked at the rest and washed my hands of it!
And I refuse to believe that anyone got Judith's ultimate weapon without looking at a guide. Stupid scripted events. -

As for trophies this seems to ve the easiest trophy game yet out of the ones I have put time into on PS systems. Often it is hours hefore you gwt 1 trophy and you spend 60hrs+ to end up with about 40% trophies... -

Registered 15 years agoI'm kind of feeling that for all of the depth of the skill and battle system, it's a bit wasted by how fucking easy this game is so far. 12 hours and presumably a full party now and haven't even used an item yet... -

The funny thing is that it's technically not difficult at all, it just has a mechanic where if you make a mistake, you get teleported back to the start of the dungeon.
So you make your way back and of course in your annoyance you fuck up elsewhere OVER AND OVER until you have to take a 10 minute break to calm down. -

Registered 12 years ago@Duffking It's main-story (underneath Pendrago Sanctuary) It's not so bad really, just a bit bland in design. I've just grabbed all four elemental tablets, so I'll put it aside for now while PSX is on. -

Registered 12 years agoI'm doing it as my second trial, as I just happened upon it while exploring. I'm thinking I won't be able to beat the boss at my current level, but I may as well do the dungeon itself while I'm here, and then I can always come back if I can't handle the boss (apparently it's Lv42, and I just hit 33).
More generally, I do like that you have the field abilities. Sure, there's nothing majorly puzzly (at least so far), but it breaks up the usual jRPG progression of 'walk through area doing nothing but fighting, fight boss, cutscene, rest at inn, repeat' a little bit.
EDIT Looks like I did the boss anyway. I've felt like I'm a good 6-8 levels behind the curve for a good while now, but the game is easy enough so far that it doesn't seem to matter.

Registered 15 years agoI had just finished the temples when Xenoblade X arrived. Not had any real challenge so far (on normal) but enjoying it so far. Now it is a battle between this and XBX for my limited TV time (and Persona 2 Innocent Sin is my current almost completed handheld game) -

Registered 15 years agoYep. Was annoying. Doable but you had to be vigilant. Still ruing my weakness. This was supposed to be finished by now ready for XBCX Probably not the most appropriate remote play game either with lots of R2 and timing... -

Registered 12 years agoI was playing over remote play and during that boss I managed to pull off my first ever remote play mystic art - I've found them absolutely impossible up 'til now. I'm definitely going to have to buy that L2/R2 grip thing soon.
And would you believe my copy of Xenoblade still hasn't arrived -

Registered 12 years agoIt's weird, it feels like a massive game, yet I've 'only' got 55 hours on the clock (and you can probably take five or so off where I've just left it idle here and there).
There's quite a lot of side stuff to do as well. I've done the vast majority that I've come across, but I'm sure I've probably missed some too. -

Registered 19 years agoYou've still got a few hours to go, at least in the main game. The bonus episode (Alisha's Story) is pretty much mandantory to make sense of the ending though, and unfortunately it's an uninspired dungeon crawler for most of its duration. Also, I believe they wanted to charge for it after a while so I hope you've already downloaded it.
Zestiria was a bit of a letdown to be honest. -

Registered 12 years agoAh ok, cheers. I won't be finishing it today then!
Yeah, I grabbed the Alisha DLC on day one. When I get to that I'll probably just slap it on easy and burn through it. -
I am on the same point as Ror. My incompletable uncompleted sidequests disappeared and save point travel has gone. Assumedly I am on foot for a while and have to chance upon the 2 sidequests I know of that were unfinished.
I have enjoyed the game so far although it has been a bit easy on 'normal' but that is par for the course with Tales games. If I get TV access I should hopefully finish it (and DLC) this year (and possibly polish off the last dungeon of Tales of Graces f future arc giving me 4 Tales games polished off this year (even if 90% of Graces was done last year) then decide which one of the massive Tales backlog to do next (possibly Innocence as I played a fair bit of that or one of the Xillias, although I do have pretty much every game in either Japanese or English and only finished Abyss (and 99% of Symphonia on GC before being defeated by the 'finish the story or try and do all of the sidequests'conundrum and ending up doing neither))))
And then there all my SMT games... Etc... Sigh.
