I think Berseria has probably the best combat system this year, so it's got that going for it.
I was considering getting snake pass for this reason, if it happens to be on sale by the time I'm through with P5 I may pick it up.

Is it?
It feels like mashing, the game so far.
And I feel the way about its combat animations the same way jeff feels about souls weapon priority. Just doesn't feel good.

It's got to have something good in it; the tales motto
It takes a bit, early on you don't have enough Artes and you're not playing with a full party. All the great mechanics are locked away until a bit further in the story, and ad-hoc party member switching means you can chain together attacks from your entire party.
Trust me, I've put 120 hours into that game. But the combat doesn't shine until you set the difficulty to Intense or higher.

What's your defense for Tales of the Abyss?

I can't deal with the character design in Beseria.
Like what the fuck is going on here.

That's actually tame by tales of standards.
Alright, I probably won't stick with it for now, but I'll revisit in the latter downtimes. Though I'm not really into JRPG combat for the challenge anymore, though I know tales of is its own weird JRPG action style.
Also in the beginning of the village I swore to god velvet was having long conversations with someone who shared the exact same voice actress.

when you need belts to hold up your other belts around one leg
anyway if someone wants to GM a dungeon world game let me know
Reminds me...I always thought it was weird that Jeff was so vehemently opposed to Monster Hunter and Souls style style animation lock/weapon movesets because he likes fighting games. Learning your weapon moveset in MH/Souls is the same as learning your normals in SF.
Dan (in regards to yakuza for example) I may not agree with, but I understand where he is coming from perfectly. He just wants to hit buttons and have an exact, instant correlation between his actions and what is happening on the screen. On that subject I think it's kinda awesome how Bayonetta 2 can be just as fun for a player like that and for someone who wants to do exacting combos, dodge offsets etc.

Say what you want about Nier or Persona but Tales will ALWAYS be the flag-bearer for anime games.

Anime, but mostly real poor character design.
The cabaret club was not nearly as creepy as I expected and actually turned out to be a perfect mixture of game mechanics that I love. It has management, dress up, social sim elements, fighting, and a decent story. All it needs is player character customization and more dialogue and decoration options to be my dream game.
Her outfit so bad. The female designs in previous Tales games were usually pretty good despite the typical anime overdesign. What happened?

Like is it? I can't actually tell what kind of anime Tales of games are supposed to be. Maybe those weird 90s fantasy adventure stuff like slayers but not really? Tales of is like its own kind of psychedelic fantasy nightmare.
I can at least point to anime and manga that shares similar styles and themes with Nier:A and Persona.

Somebody get her a jacket that poor girl is going to freeze to death.

More characters should have capes or cloaks. Heck, give me a character with both, I'm sure it can work.
Capes are cool.

To be fair at least Dan had the excuse of being sick on flu and wrestling.
I'd settle for an actual shirt at the very least. Not exactly sure what that oddly shaped piece of cloth is supposed to do outside of making 90's pre-teens horny.
Fun fact, her swimsuit costume covers up more skin than her default outfit.

Word, easily my fav OST by a long, long way. First time I've ever physically bought a game soundtrack.

Even though I'm already done with Yakuza 0, I had to pop it in again and replay the Cabaret stuff as soon as this episode finished. Man, when they went through the minigame for the second time and they started to get it coupled with that amazing soundtrack....it was fucking hype.
All hail Riddick Yuki.

I love Nier:A and I'm holding out on "not liking anime" like when Dan R refused to believe MGS was full of anime on the bombcast that time.

Well if not anime how about manga?
It actually reminds me a lot like a much sadder and harsher version of yokohama kaidashi kikou, which is basically about humanity's final days as we head towards a gentle extinction while some ridiculously human androids discover humanity's legacy by exploring its decaying remnants.

It's acid wash leather armor. It's all the rage with today's teenage heroines.I can't deal with the character design in Beseria.

So the whole torn to shreds leggings thing. How the fuck do you put that on? If you're not extremely careful you'll just rip the leggings in half putting your foot through the wrong hole.
Putting all of this weird armor shit throughout a lot of Japanese games is obviously crazy anyway, but the torn leggings thing is just baffling

I like dull fantasy not dull military shooters thank you very much.

if you think that is unique, i take it you play like zero jrpgs and have never seen anime
First rule of crazy JRPG character design: Characters in games never have to change their wardrobe ever, so feel free to make the most insane and difficult to dress in/wear outfits imaginable.
I dunno why, but your avy and that comment made me chuckle.

I actually literally can't think of a design that is similar to her's.
I'm not saying it's good, I'm saying I really am blanking on it.

You'll be ashamed of your words and deeds for forgetting this Metal Gear Solid character.
(cue Jeopardy music)
You'll understand her outfit once you learn about her background. ~_~
Yeah but look at this flyguy from Tales of Xillia 2.
The reason why the later Tales games character designs are so wishy washy is that they're using 3 (THREE!) character designers and spreading their designs amongst the party members. Makes them look discordant. Fujishima, Inomata and Okumura I think their names are. Might even be a fourth background character designer. He's the designer of the guy above.
