I love all the perfect dodge voice lines but Alphens does give me the most issues I do still love it though My favorites Dohalim: "Now it's my turn" Law: "Too slow"(even better when followed up with his "You're wide open" counter line) Compared to these two Alphen might as well be saying Git gud as his Try Harder has about the same energy
The casting animation and environment seemed familiar but I never paid heed to it since the ground has Dark Astral Energy. But when he finished casting and he said "Divine Lightning". I said to myself, Wait what? Like HOLY LIGHTNING?? INDIGNATION? Ahh shii.. here we go again. Needless to say, My party got wiped.
Just started playing after I bought it a year ago 💀. Honestly I didn’t even know what the English sounded like cause I only play games in Japanese. Even as an American I gotta say the English language sounds corny as hell

*Ganabelt start chanting* ah cool cool magic Mystic Arte, let's see what you got Ganabelt: I, who stands bathed in heavenly light Me: Ah guess I'm gonna die
What an awesome game, the villains could’ve done with more development but I loved the majority of the characters and no one in the party ever really annoyed me. Maybe I’m just a sucker for jrpgs but for me this is a 9/10 experience
Its a bit of a shame because i think they could have boosted the villain's sorely needed screentime by cutting like 15% of all main group talking scenes (skits included) without hurting the story and relationships, since a lot of it is just repating the same thing over and over or giving you 13 yo philosophy.
@@popkhorne5372 I agree, the character dynamics between the main cast got a little repetitive near the end, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to move away from them for a little and delve into Vholrans backstory, or give the Helganquil some actual personality instead of making them all drones, I was really disappointed when the Rena reveal happened, I expected a whole planet
The mage character was useful and not annoying, and the edgelord protagonist turned out to be a giant armor-clad teddy bear. I actually LIKED all the characters this time around. Had to pick a party based on gameplay rather than who I personally hated least.
@@mxp4se They made all the mystic artes pretty easy to pull off in this iteration. Rinwell doesn't even really need "artes", she's got air abilities with 0 cast time. At least it's not like Berseria where the activation would've been "After casting 3 combination spells"
For me, the only character i had that would regularly go into over limit and use his myatic art was Law. None of the others would do it on their own except occasionally Kisara. Even Alphen who i mainly used rarely went into OL, so its nice to see these here
I know what you mean, I've made the same experience, Law went in almost every fight into over limit (it looks like they get into overlimit due to how much damage they took idk...🙃) i didn't even knew how to unlock the other mystic artes (beside Alphen) until i have maxed out the friendship with Shionne... which was nearly at the end of the Game😆😐, never used Campfire so much
@@Fiore-san yeah OL builds up a couple different ways, one is dodging i think. But yes Law went into OL almoat every fight for me. The seconds mystic art, for me, is hard to trigger
That's because Law has 6 skill tree perks that give him easier over limit. 3 normal ones and 3 in awakening. And because OVL is tied to damage taken and dodging that makes Law, Kisara, and Alphen (maybe Dohalim too if he isn't being a spell caster) the most likely to get into OVL. And also you probably won’t notice Shionne, Rinwell, and maybe Dohalim in OVL, because spellcasting into a mystic arte can be quite difficult if they don't get their spells in on time.
@@Unovah yes, im aware of how it works, sadly the though even with kisara i think i maybe saw her go into OL once or twice. Even playing as alphen and dodging fairly regularly i didnt go into OL super often. But either way, Law is a staple in my party
@𝐗 𝐗 𝐕 𝐈 𝐈 100% agree, his over limit spam and damage boosts are why i main him but its still really satisfying to pull off the MA lvl 2 with any character especially with characters that struggle to do so but yeah landing Law's MA lvl 2 became a walk in the park after I figured out a perfect formula that works 90% of the time, rarely ever drops idk why it does sometimes but I like all the characters MA's
Somehow (while I'm playing) I feel like all the VAs had fun performing the Mystic, Astral and regular artes. Even some of the in game convos in and out of battle. It just sounds like everyone enjoyed doing them.
Honestly I'm glad she doesn't. Her being more "self-taught" and coming up with her own Mystic Artes plays better into her character, and keeping her feeling more "elemental" sets her more apart from Laphi.
Honestly it would’ve been perfect as her second Mystic Arte. She is the only one that can use lightning magic, outside of Renans with the Light Mastercore, as the last Dahnan mage. I’m still glad both of her Mystic Artes use lightning, but I was hoping for the ultimate expression of Dahnan magics.

@@jinshim2536 That move gave me ptsd, Especially when my dumbass refused to acknlowedge that alexendrite (-50% Light damage reduction) existed in my reserve equipment
Seeing how they did mystic artes here, I honestly like how they handled them. They look to be implemented well with the new system and having them be in real time to test your skills with perfect dodging is good for risking to increase your overlimit gauge. And now it makes you wonder how would cameo battles go against other characters. Say like when Guy (Tales of the Abyss) would use Brilliant Overlord and such. But I'm REALLY LIKING WHAT I'M SEEING!
Eh I kind of disagree. I played the game pretty much purely as Shionne and the chances at perfect dodging happen a lot less frequently because I’m ranged. This system heavily favors melee. All my melee teammates got over limit constantly almost 2-3 times every encounter and like 5+ on bosses while Rinwell and I barely got it.
My favorite thing was in I believe the second Vohlron fight when he drops the giant blade of ice on you I just perfect dodged it did the counter edge and then dodged outwards triggered another perfect dodge and just looped that like six times in a row and it was so sick
I hope there is dual mystic artes, at least 3, because it would be weird that a game who turn around the new boost strike system didn’t have them but they look great
@@khara8561 yeah but that’s a paid dlc and tbh having a MA with three peoples with 2 from another franchise BEFORE people in the game is kinda weird, at least give us a alphen shionne MA
Just finished the game, i loved it ! MAs are pretty good and i love how they implemented them in the battle system for enemies, gotta get those sweet sweet dodges for overlimit ! By the way i think you forgot the Great Spirit's MA, Black Hole ;)
With Chronos and the Earth siblings serving as cameos it opened my eyes as to how similar Alphin is with Ludger, Sorey and even Velvet. The chromatus, the armatus, and the Theron claw, their just the flame core sword. A power with various risks using repeatly.
Just a general tip for anyone. Using the flaming sword counts an arte also. So if u can end the combo with the flaming sword and trigger the 2nd mytic arte. 2 reason this good. 1. You can actually use a flaming sword arte at the end of the overlimit and eventhough the overlimit status ends, you can still activate the overlimit. 2. U can release the charge flaming sword arte and get your Hp as low as possible. This is good bcoz since alphen has nodes that increase attack at near death. Your mystic arte will do more damage at the end of the combo. Since Alphens 2nd mystic arte have a decent combo to it. Every hit will 3 times more than damage, or more even.
There’s a new animation out now from the SAO collaboration. You can get it from the training grounds quest by two characters that stand out, mostly a guy in a black coat if you know what I mean.
Though I gotta say I hope they add more cameos with updates or even DLC because those are always the best fights in recent Tales of games that I don't mind paying a few extra dollars for a kick-ass fight.
It actually kills the challenge. Old Tales games have bosses where you get screwed over the moment a boss MA Cut-in 2D picture pops up. I find the lack of blocking too disturbing, this isn't the Tales way. MCs gotta stand there and take it like a MAN.
@@ShimanoGoro1 You have nothing to avoid, if you prevent them from activating it. It's better to feel that challenging pressure when ethe enemy is at half health or in Overdrive state rather than dodgable ongoing attack. It feels like easy mode and it takes away that cinematic feel for the villain having his time retaliating from the damage you made.
@@zarthosbtw Not All enemy MA one shots, they leave you at 1 HP. That moment is where you brain makes a decision weather to continue backstepping or pull out the item menu. This game gives you IV frames cuz your healing has it's point count, it's rather annoying especially if your party member auto heals you even if have an regen ability that doesn't use Cure points.
platinumed the game but other than alphen and shionne... kisara, dohalim, and rinwell never pulled off their second mystic Arte lol. (I mained Law, so I saw crimson skies many many times) love them!
I mained Alphen. Besides him (since I'm in control), I've only seen Law's second Mystic Arte. The other AI wouldn't do them. I've only seen Dohalim's first MA (party member) *once.*
Tales of Arise lore: “Only Renans can use astral artes.” Also Tales of Arise: “Let’s have Kisara’s best attack shoot a laser beam out of her shield.” Bruh
It's Tales series staple. Your characters' attacks may be incredibly flashy, but they're not magic, unless stated otherwise. Just in case, in Tales of Phantasia your objective for middle part of the game is to find magic users who alone can oppose Dhaos. Meanwhile, Cless, the protagonist, can literally, physically turn into phoenix through the power of swordsmanship. Yet it doesn't count as magic. Remakes toned down on it, but he still can conjure a flaming bird with his Rising Phoenix arte.
@@xellis8434 yeah i guess. The only tales of i think that made it logical is tales if symphonia when you equip lloyd an elemental stone and it chamges his rising falcon to rising phoenix when it's a garnet or lightning thrust if he has a sardonix equipped. For presea , i alwaus figured she was just so strong that the earth we see her doing is just her doing splash damage when she smashes the ground. Regal, though, might still be a mystery with his "healer" spell. Although it might just be ki related, not magic
@@ZelosSama yes, it's logical, but there's still this pesky inexplicable Demon Fang and its derivatives. No strength will allow you to shoot waves of energy out of your sword. Speaking of strength, Symphonia anime has a scene where Lloyd and co defeat seal guardian without their exspheres. That's definitely non-realistic feat. As of Regal, AFAIK it's not directly stated that he uses ki, but strongly implied so. His healing artes were borrowed from Farah from Tales of Eternia, and she DOES explicitly uses ki to do it. I personally prefer to think that every non-magical arte uses ki in some form.
@@xellis8434 yeah for the ki , i came up with the same conclusion. i would wager lloyd uses ki for his demon fang as well. as for the seal guardian, well , i dont take the anime as cannon anyway. it diverged a lot from the game . and i also don't remember the seal guardian part, been too long lol
They turned Rock Mountain into a mystic arte?! Now i kinda want to see Genis is a battle system like this, except ALL of his high tier spells are these Mystic Arte level cinematic masterpieces.
The one thing I don´t like is that MAs are tied to OL. As a mechanic I really don´t like OL and I was really happy when MAs were something you could just do without needing some semi random thing to happen to that character in Berseria. On the other hand we did get Boost Strikes and some of them like Flashing Fang, Burning Strike, Radiant Genesis and Extend Gate are even cooler than most MAs.
I think we can all agree we've seen plenty of Law's mystic going off! I've lost count of how many times that fuccboi goes over limit after only taking two steps in a battle. Not even exaggerating lmao
@@xenoviaarchus6068 Assuming you really are capable of doing a lv1 naked run of any souls game then any of the tales games would be a cakewalk anyways. As for the other 90% of gamers that can't finish Bloodborne blindfolded I'm pretty sure the endgame bosses will prove challenging enough.

@@VentusFury It's the cross shaped weapon that looks like that old ball in the cup toy from '80s-'90s. I misspelled it, it's Kendama, not Kodama (those are those irritating green spirit guys from Nioh). Anyway the one that teaches Genis Final Prayer you get from the Meltokio Coliseum's Advanced Class.
I see what they were trying to do with dodging the mystic Artes in real time but I also like the old style Mystic Artes way better. Miss that 2D cut in
I'm glad this video exists, because I haven't been able to pull off a single 2nd tier Mystic Arte in all my hours with the game. Seriously, random Overdrive and having to pull off 5 different rates in a single combo is asinine. Every enemy I try it against avoids it because there's so little stagger in the game.
I noticed Indignation, but I thought it was awesome to see these two: 1.Law's second hi ougi is Tytree's Guren Tenshou from Tales of Rebirth 2.The woman with the mace and shield's second hi ougi is Loni Dunamis' version of Final Prayer from Tales of Destiny 2. Both of these are OG hi ougis, with the characters and games stated being the original character and game in which their appearance was made. Indignation is an OG hi ougi, but the original version would be Rebirth Crusader by Philia from Tales of Destiny. Now, the hi ougi I am surprised is it not in this game is Satsugeki Bukoken, which some of you may know as Final Fury. It is like Dragon Slash from the Grandia series in the fact that it has been in many games, but originated from Stahn Aileron from Tales of Destiny. Satsugeki Bukoken is like the bread and butter hi ougi of the series. I would have LOVED to see Zanku Tenshouken in this game. A hi ougi that also originated from Stahn Aileron in Tales of Destiny, but later used by Kyle Dunamis in Tales of Destiny 2. Now, if they managed to put in Shouou Zetsurenshou in this game, I would have done backflips.
so i figured out how to use Alfen's 2nd mystic arte, it doesn't really explain it very well but... so in order to activate it, you have to hit atleast 5 hits with your blazing sword artes, while holding the artes buttons down. for example: i use sword rain alpha - rending flash, dragon swarm - explosive ring, and hold the artes buttons down. if you do it correctly, then alphen will use blazing pillar instead of scarlet outburts. my understanding is it's meant too be two seperate FIRE SWORD artes, so as long as you're using two different ones it's fine, i just find that setting up rending flash into dragon swarm - explosive ring is one of the easiest ways to do it.
@@CGInferno No prob lol. I beat him super fast too so all I saw was the MA go off while I pounded him into dust lol. It must've been a charge type MA like Ganabelts Indignation.
How do I achieve Rinwell's 2nd mystic arte? It's impossible to chain 5 magic to achieve the 5-combos condition for me. Her casting took too long for her OL duration.
I don't like that everything happens so quickly. Comparing them with those of Vesperia, for example, the truth is that I enjoyed more slower and longer mystic arts
Doing Kisara's Second Mystic Arte is so hard sometimes. I be doing the combos and everything and it just doesn't work. But when I connect like 12+ hits then it decides to work.
Indignation in other Tales, one person is enough to cast the powerful spell at high speed. Indignation in Arise, need 4 persons and a very long time to cast. Sorry pals, Rita and Jade won. But your spell still looks cool.😎
Technically Rita and Jade's Indignation need the other party members there for protection while casting just like this guy does with his clones, it's not like it's instant for them either.
How did you get Shionne's Explosive Charge, Rinwell's Aquarius Damnation, Dohalim's Epochal Severance, Law's Crimson Skies (or Heavenly Crimson Blossom), and Kisara's Final Prayer?
@@montelhelem8707 speaking of mitranslations one of Rinwell's Artes is labeled as a Mystic Arte when it's a normal Arte and when I first got Alphens second MA it called it a Master Arte. There's a lot of typos and mistranslations in this game

It's ok, Indignation peaked when Jade casts it :3
She got a watery version of it lol
Setting up a barrier to protect you while casting, and clones as bait and to charge your MA.
That's how you cast Indignation.
Yo what! We got Eizen and Edna back? Let's go!!! My two favorite characters from the last two Tales games.
Though I gotta say I hope they add more cameos with updates or even DLC because those are always the best fights in recent Tales of games that I don't mind paying a few extra dollars for a kick-ass fight.
@@georgethomas4567 Well....we are getting a dlc collab. But with Kirito and Asuna from SAO
We're back to the faster MAs and the enemy's MAs are actual dodgable attacks.
Finally.
It actually kills the challenge. Old Tales games have bosses where you get screwed over the moment a boss MA Cut-in 2D picture pops up. I find the lack of blocking too disturbing, this isn't the Tales way. MCs gotta stand there and take it like a MAN.
@@silkwind7618 you perfer having no way of avoiding a move and possibly getting one shot right there?
@@ShimanoGoro1 seems like it :shrug:
@@ShimanoGoro1 You have nothing to avoid, if you prevent them from activating it. It's better to feel that challenging pressure when ethe enemy is at half health or in Overdrive state rather than dodgable ongoing attack. It feels like easy mode and it takes away that cinematic feel for the villain having his time retaliating from the damage you made.
@@zarthosbtw Not All enemy MA one shots, they leave you at 1 HP. That moment is where you brain makes a decision weather to continue backstepping or pull out the item menu. This game gives you IV frames cuz your healing has it's point count, it's rather annoying especially if your party member auto heals you even if have an regen ability that doesn't use Cure points.
Alphen: * does ballerina move * tRy HaRdEr.
Edna mystic arte is terrifying the first time you see it then you releize how easy it is to dodge
Vholran's mystic artes are so badass
It's taken from tales of eternia, you might need to look for it
Also cool one
Kisara is such a sexy badass
“I’ll take you all on”
When first heard that I lost my mind 🤘🏼🤩
platinumed the game but other than alphen and shionne... kisara, dohalim, and rinwell never pulled off their second mystic Arte lol. (I mained Law, so I saw crimson skies many many times) love them!
Law goes into overlimit so much. I found myself using Tenebrous like 5 times a battle
I mained Alphen. Besides him (since I'm in control), I've only seen Law's second Mystic Arte. The other AI wouldn't do them. I've only seen Dohalim's first MA (party member) *once.*
@@Jimmeeehhh ok, that's super sad about dohalim but almost believable if I think about it
Eizen and Edna. Now Thats a Cameo Battle😁🔥🔥.
Yeah that's awesome, but damn they brought Chronos back!
@@deathbykonami5487 they should put ludger as well if they put chronos in game
i'm sure at 0:54 cginferno not intended to show enemy MA but showing his skill at dodging
Not gonna lie but alpens fighting style is very baddass with his swordplay and movement looking 👌
Tales of Arise lore: “Only Renans can use astral artes.”
Also Tales of Arise: “Let’s have Kisara’s best attack shoot a laser beam out of her shield.”
Bruh
and law's dlc arte use lightning lol
It's Tales series staple. Your characters' attacks may be incredibly flashy, but they're not magic, unless stated otherwise. Just in case, in Tales of Phantasia your objective for middle part of the game is to find magic users who alone can oppose Dhaos. Meanwhile, Cless, the protagonist, can literally, physically turn into phoenix through the power of swordsmanship. Yet it doesn't count as magic. Remakes toned down on it, but he still can conjure a flaming bird with his Rising Phoenix arte.
@@xellis8434 yeah i guess. The only tales of i think that made it logical is tales if symphonia when you equip lloyd an elemental stone and it chamges his rising falcon to rising phoenix when it's a garnet or lightning thrust if he has a sardonix equipped.
For presea , i alwaus figured she was just so strong that the earth we see her doing is just her doing splash damage when she smashes the ground.
Regal, though, might still be a mystery with his "healer" spell. Although it might just be ki related, not magic
@@ZelosSama yes, it's logical, but there's still this pesky inexplicable Demon Fang and its derivatives. No strength will allow you to shoot waves of energy out of your sword.
Speaking of strength, Symphonia anime has a scene where Lloyd and co defeat seal guardian without their exspheres. That's definitely non-realistic feat.
As of Regal, AFAIK it's not directly stated that he uses ki, but strongly implied so. His healing artes were borrowed from Farah from Tales of Eternia, and she DOES explicitly uses ki to do it. I personally prefer to think that every non-magical arte uses ki in some form.
@@xellis8434 yeah for the ki , i came up with the same conclusion. i would wager lloyd uses ki for his demon fang as well. as for the seal guardian, well , i dont take the anime as cannon anyway. it diverged a lot from the game . and i also don't remember the seal guardian part, been too long lol
Igniseri, Nereid is calling they wanted their Eternal Finality returned.
I like that it’s called Finis Aeternum…which is just Latin for Eternal Final(ity)
They turned Rock Mountain into a mystic arte?!
Now i kinda want to see Genis is a battle system like this, except ALL of his high tier spells are these Mystic Arte level cinematic masterpieces.
The one thing I don´t like is that MAs are tied to OL. As a mechanic I really don´t like OL and I was really happy when MAs were something you could just do without needing some semi random thing to happen to that character in Berseria. On the other hand we did get Boost Strikes and some of them like Flashing Fang, Burning Strike, Radiant Genesis and Extend Gate are even cooler than most MAs.
tectonic fusion just hits differently for me.
what about you guys?
I think we can all agree we've seen plenty of Law's mystic going off! I've lost count of how many times that fuccboi goes over limit after only taking two steps in a battle. Not even exaggerating lmao
Same.
Being able to dodge enemy MAs turns them into chumps.
If being able to dodge attacks from bosses turned them into chumps then the Dark Souls games would all be a breeze to complete.
@@mappybc6097 They are. That's why level 1 naked runs exist
@@xenoviaarchus6068 Assuming you really are capable of doing a lv1 naked run of any souls game then any of the tales games would be a cakewalk anyways.
As for the other 90% of gamers that can't finish Bloodborne blindfolded I'm pretty sure the endgame bosses will prove challenging enough.
@@xenoviaarchus6068 thats because there are exceptional players who could do that, 99.99% sure cant do that.
Takes me back to symphonia and abyss where you can dodge them by jumping in the former’s case or running in the latter.
WAIT Shionne's second Mystic Arte is so tight!
I 100%d the game and never even saw it LOL!
Same. 😭
Darn no combo/dual mystic artes with your teammates? i remember loving those in xilla 1/2, and berseria.
Ah Law, activated OL almost every 2 seconds in a fight. I love him
Ganabelt: I who commands the Astral plane, whilst thou are cursed to expire into nothing...
Me: Clichéd stuck-up boss banter. Like I haven't heard that before.
Ganabelt: I, who stand bathed in heavenly light...
Me: Wait, I think I have heard this before.
Ganabelt:Whilst thou cower before the gates of hell...
Me: Ohshit.exe
OMG! They gave Kisara Final Prayer/Player!!
Loni Dunamis, Genis Sage, and Mikleo approve of this!
Genis had it? Was it on the Tech side of artes? I usually went S side with him for Indignation
@@VentusFury On the wiki, it said he used it when equipped with a kodama.
@@deathbykonami5487 hm... I dont remember where to get that weapon, thanks for my next research
@@VentusFury It's the cross shaped weapon that looks like that old ball in the cup toy from '80s-'90s. I misspelled it, it's Kendama, not Kodama (those are those irritating green spirit guys from Nioh). Anyway the one that teaches Genis Final Prayer you get from the Meltokio Coliseum's Advanced Class.
@@deathbykonami5487 I'm seriously look right now and cant find anything 😭 I wanna see it
I think you’re missing Subsumer’s Mystic Artes Black Hole, and the regular version of Finis Aeternam.
Indignation : Ah shit here we go again.
Feels weird how there are two different Shooting Star spells.
Kinda hope any coliseum battle vs cameo. Like in tales of abyss. It was crazy battle ngl
That battle was amazing lol.
Law mains, boy goes OL every 5 minutes. Thundery Tenebrous Claw is your life now... (Or Heavenly Crimson Blossom)
Not that I don't like the new mystic artes but I prefer the "old type" of mystic artes with the anime art of the character.
Same here, it feels like something is missing even though this new MAs are good
I see what they were trying to do with dodging the mystic Artes in real time but I also like the old style Mystic Artes way better. Miss that 2D cut in
Vergil : Slay all
Alphen : BURN ALL
Ganabelt casting Indignation made me understand what Dhaos feels
I'm glad this video exists, because I haven't been able to pull off a single 2nd tier Mystic Arte in all my hours with the game.
Seriously, random Overdrive and having to pull off 5 different rates in a single combo is asinine. Every enemy I try it against avoids it because there's so little stagger in the game.
1:34 Very curious how many people got wiped out in their first attempt. =D
God, that Finis Aeternam took me back.
Yep Tales of Eternia
@@c01onel You read my mind.
Even the name is the same, just latin. Eternia keeps getting the best nods game after game
I noticed Indignation, but I thought it was awesome to see these two:
1.Law's second hi ougi is Tytree's Guren Tenshou from Tales of Rebirth
2.The woman with the mace and shield's second hi ougi is Loni Dunamis' version of Final Prayer from Tales of Destiny 2.
Both of these are OG hi ougis, with the characters and games stated being the original character and game in which their appearance was made. Indignation is an OG hi ougi, but the original version would be Rebirth Crusader by Philia from Tales of Destiny. Now, the hi ougi I am surprised is it not in this game is Satsugeki Bukoken, which some of you may know as Final Fury. It is like Dragon Slash from the Grandia series in the fact that it has been in many games, but originated from Stahn Aileron from Tales of Destiny. Satsugeki Bukoken is like the bread and butter hi ougi of the series. I would have LOVED to see Zanku Tenshouken in this game. A hi ougi that also originated from Stahn Aileron in Tales of Destiny, but later used by Kyle Dunamis in Tales of Destiny 2. Now, if they managed to put in Shouou Zetsurenshou in this game, I would have done backflips.
They shoulda made Tytree and Loni the cameo battle!!!!! Two of my favorite characters of all time
@@ShofuthaBeatdown That would have been great! They need older cameos.
I miss those anime cut ins of mystic artes
Senkou Bappa! Tataki nomesu, mada nomesu, sarani nomesu, sorega… Final Player!!
so i figured out how to use Alfen's 2nd mystic arte, it doesn't really explain it very well but... so in order to activate it, you have to hit atleast 5 hits with your blazing sword artes, while holding the artes buttons down. for example: i use sword rain alpha - rending flash, dragon swarm - explosive ring, and hold the artes buttons down. if you do it correctly, then alphen will use blazing pillar instead of scarlet outburts.
my understanding is it's meant too be two seperate FIRE SWORD artes, so as long as you're using two different ones it's fine, i just find that setting up rending flash into dragon swarm - explosive ring is one of the easiest ways to do it.
This is wrong, it has to be 5 different artes, you don't have to use the Blazing Sword at all, just chain 5 different artes together.
Subsumer also has a Mystic Arte: Black Hole. Never really saw what it did tho.
Of course that boss would have one. Didn't even know cause I beat it so quick lmao. Thanks for letting me know
@@CGInferno No prob lol. I beat him super fast too so all I saw was the MA go off while I pounded him into dust lol. It must've been a charge type MA like Ganabelts Indignation.
How do I achieve Rinwell's 2nd mystic arte? It's impossible to chain 5 magic to achieve the 5-combos condition for me. Her casting took too long for her OL duration.
Use her attack artes instead of magic ones
Do one magic cast then do aerial combos
See I remember someone confirming the duel cameo fight was a different pair, not complaining tho I rather it be those two from berseria
well technically edna is in berseria but only as an illusion made by melchior since she was originally from zestiria
I love this game!
5:09 Eizen sounds like he’s said his line so much, he’s bored with it. 5:17
0:12 Excuse me, but why did you use the gun that covers her eyes? That's my favourite part about this Mystic Arte!
Didn’t even know everyone had a second mystic arte
I don't like that everything happens so quickly. Comparing them with those of Vesperia, for example, the truth is that I enjoyed more slower and longer mystic arts
Was kind of hoping that we would have kept Dohalim's Mystic from his fight it was cool and I feel like it would have been better than tectonic fission
Doing Kisara's Second Mystic Arte is so hard sometimes. I be doing the combos and everything and it just doesn't work. But when I connect like 12+ hits then it decides to work.
It’s not hit count; the second MAs require you to do a combo with 5+ artes in it, regardless of number of hits.
@@TheSpamus yeah I actually found that out a while ago. The wording was just kinda confusing me.
@@TheSpamus Thanks for this. If only I found this out before I platinumed the damn game. The description in game is confusing AF!
never mind you seem to have done it already
FINAL PRAAYAAAAAAA!
3:49 Is it named differently in Japanese or did the localization team decide that "Infernal Suffering" didn't work with Dohalim?
I guess
XD
Alphen reminds me of Roy from Fire Emblem with the Blazing Sword.
Anyone else looking for this cause they've only ever seen Law's?
"The Earth's pulse" but their planets are Dahna and Rena.
Which company developed this game? Bandai Namco is only the publisher
I forgot
I only managed to do the second mystic art of Alphen and Law 😅
Indignation in other Tales, one person is enough to cast the powerful spell at high speed.
Indignation in Arise, need 4 persons and a very long time to cast.
Sorry pals, Rita and Jade won. But your spell still looks cool.😎
Don’t forget Genis from Symphonia. He has it as a normal arte and not a mystic arte😎
@@elizabethmora6363 yeah, Cheria and Phillia, too.
@@khoaha6095 true! I forgot about them
Technically Rita and Jade's Indignation need the other party members there for protection while casting just like this guy does with his clones, it's not like it's instant for them either.
@@AsbelLhant100 While in Overlimit, they instantly cast them. In exchange, their Indignation is smaller AOE but still strong.
4:09 I've never been so jealous of a monster before now
Holz..Sh... kiasaras 2nd arte is so much like mikleos from Tales of zestiria. I love it.
Its one of my favorite games for Sure
Kisara*
Once when I saw the phrase
I thy stand in heavens light
Me: oh its indignation
How did you get Shionne's Explosive Charge, Rinwell's Aquarius Damnation, Dohalim's Epochal Severance, Law's Crimson Skies (or Heavenly Crimson Blossom), and Kisara's Final Prayer?
It's Final Player. And yeah, that really dropped my jaw.
max out their bonds
@@jackripple5179 Nah its Final Prayer. They fucked up the translation on that mystic arte name.
@@montelhelem8707 speaking of mitranslations one of Rinwell's Artes is labeled as a Mystic Arte when it's a normal Arte and when I first got Alphens second MA it called it a Master Arte. There's a lot of typos and mistranslations in this game
@@IosLocarth Don't worry buddy I've seen so many in the game so far it makes my stomach turn, the fucking localization team has been slacking off BIG time, either them or the translation team
I'm still waiting for steam deals to buy it 👀
No indignation for rinwell ? Sad
How many boost strikes are there? Like do you unlock more or how’s that work
Pretty sure it's just the one per pair
@@AsbelLhant100 good enough, everyone has one with everyone
Is it just me or does Rinwell hardly ever go into overdrive? Even when shes does the AI doesn't seem to want to use mystic arte
Or the odd time it actually does go into OL the AI uses Deus Roar
