most of the Tales community : Rita is best mage cause of combos and and she has Indignation as Mystic Arte!" me an intellectual : "Philia has that, able to chain cast Indignations AND Big Bang without over limit, owns a Talking sword, make her own chemical bombs, more than 2 Mystic artes and broke the stereotype for RPG Priestesses being healers only"
Congrats man! This no doubt is one of the most annoying fights in the game. I have absolutely no idea who thought sleep inducing multidirectional lasers + unstaggerable boss was good game design. Seems same person forgot to program the AI properly, luckily! This is the second no damage I seen from this boss fight with Philia, but you're the first to not abuse the infinite cast glitch I seen. Again, congrats! Unless memory fails me you've pretty much got done with the worst already.
You forgot the "All elements resistance" + "Final wave of doom to be sure you can't win the fight" +... well, too many things to complain about... I love how the Oberon Corp forces you to change the way you fight but THIS battle is just stupid. Thanks for your support :) there is actually one last terrible fight to deal with (Rembrandt)
***** You know I love Team Inomata/Destiny, but I think that at times they decide to be too ambitious with their own good for some bosses. You know, when they try to twist the limits of the LMBS and force the player to play completely differently (Solomos comes to mind, specifically. Ughh). There are puzzle bosses (like Rem in Eternia) and then there's just bullshit (powered up Swordian Team in Chaos). Though there are plenty of original ideas for bosses that work, so I can't complain too much hahaha!
Kevassa02 I understand what you mean, sometimes it also feels like they are trying to add as many stuff as possible to make a boss more difficult (Miktran Excessive is a good example). I loved bosses in Eternia because of their originality (but Rem’s light ball was a real pain). Uggh, I forgot about the powered up Swordian team, I really don’t feel like redoing that game just for one fight >< The worst thing they ever made is easily that terrible Arena Rank 6… seriously we are human players! But I still have deep respect for Team Destiny for taking quite a big risk in implementing the CC system and getting rid of TP (and it turned out very well!)
***** Rank 6 arena can go screw itself. I'm still planning to try to finish it with everyone but dear god why why WOULD YOU DO THAT, TEAM DESTINY? This reminds me I should get back to recording derpderpderp
Kevassa02 Sometimes I wonder it they even tested it (without Demon Lance Zero). At least the reward is great but still... Maybe you should try Chelsea as she can stay in the air quite easily (and with a Chaser material or real lion you will get a lot of CC at each critical)
Yeah! I am so pumped now, I feel like I can finish that run! Lol I call that the Lion Syndrome because in one of my previous video, I showed Lion's terrible AI (the poor guy was jumping everywhere without even hitting me)
I'm amazed that the nearby computer's hard drive didn't format from all of the electrical surges. :| Definitely a difficult fight considering Philia's movement speed and limited defenses against endless waves of enemies. Thank god for Irene's Lion Syndrome.
I agree on that one. She is pretty powerless once surrounded because all her attacks are quite slow to execute and that's even worse with flying enemies. However, she has the huge advantage to be able to destroy the fidelits very fast and Indignation is still the best way to damage Ilene (it's even more powerful than Rebirth Crusader).
Nope it doesn't heal anyone. I think it was only added in Vesperia. Fun fact, in RM3 Philia keeps the non-healing version of Sacred Blame as her MA but Estelle's actually heals in the very same game!
Her normal boosts casting light magic (or a low level spell) + if you cast repeated spells in the same element (Lightning -> Ray -> ThunderBlade -> Indignation) its like a single combo and cast speed increases. Basically, once wound up, Indignation comes out extremely fast.

I 100% agree with you ^^ Those are among all the reasons I love Philia and why she is one of my favourite character in the series
"and broke the stereotype for RPG Priestesses being healers only"
:)
I can just see the PS2 overheating from all of those spell effects.
Great job with the battle!
I think my eyes are still blinded by the GODLIKE momentum from this video. I am just shocked in awe because i know she is a very hard boss to battle.
Haha thanks ;)
In my opinion that was the hardest boss so far but doable with a character as broken as Philia !
Yeah I still can't see after watching that. It was awesome

Indignation should be required for any kind of Philia related awesomeness =w=
the long awaited battle is finally here. good job for the battle and the new Lion Syndrome lol (never heard of that, so I'm certain it's new)

Good job ! impressive video and battle :D ( without Demon Lance Zero lol )
In this game, does Sacred Blame heal you or was that added into LATER generations???
Nope it doesn't heal anyone. I think it was only added in Vesperia. Fun fact, in RM3 Philia keeps the non-healing version of Sacred Blame as her MA but Estelle's actually heals in the very same game!
I'm starting to think Philia is overpowered ...
how are you casting that fast?
Her normal boosts casting light magic (or a low level spell) + if you cast repeated spells in the same element (Lightning -> Ray -> ThunderBlade -> Indignation) its like a single combo and cast speed increases. Basically, once wound up, Indignation comes out extremely fast.
