This game gooding? I watch the walkthrough seems pretty bland hack and slash

The game combat has a lot of layers.
Need chain combo with artes to stagger, then use boost strike to counter certain enemy action, then need spec the chars according to your style.

Not just hack and slash. I played the demo and I was drowning coz they gave us all the layers at once end up I just mash button.
But in the game they gradually add the layer so u understand it. And it’s damn good and fun

I was really enjoying the game but it is disgusting how much Namco Bandai is forcing you to buy the DLC .
Imagine there are ARTES and abilities in the game LOCKED behind the microtransaction paywall  , how greedy can you be Namco Bandai ?
Not to mention the constant notification popping up whenever you are camping , reminding you to buy new DLC .
They have already took one of very few method to recover Health in the game , locked them behind CP which is essentially Mana Points from previous game .

You need CP for all sort of buffing skill , all healing and resurrection skills , field quest , field abilites to unlock doors and chest etc etc .
Clearly CP is extremely precious in the game .
But it cost a whooping 3000 gold in game for an Orange Gel, which was commonly found in past games .
Worst of all , it isn't even available for purchase until later in this game .

Guess what ? You can get permanent Game store discount from buying their Premium dlc package , and 100000g which will probably save you many hours on these fetch and kill side quests .
So much to the point it is actually game breaking , because it has rendered all resurrection and buffing spells worthless since they cost a whooping 50CP to cast , just keep buying life bottles from the merchant instead.
Despicable how they are willing to compromise on the game balance just to promote their DLCs.
Shame on you Namco Bandai . You made a great game but you keep ruining it with your greedy little fingers .
I am not opposed to paying extra for a great game but since you have ruined it all I no longer have the desire to .

While I don’t agree with the move, but it’s still playable and not that big of an effect. I’m playing on normal mode without the dlc except the costume that came with standard edition. Was able to survive and only after third city did I have to grind a map or 2 for about 30 minutes coz I was sick of always lacking gald coz all used up in life bottle and cp gel. Farmed the storming beak with food buff.
Worked great and I didn have to grind anymore after that.

The artes lock behind dlc is a bummer but then again I’m just using 12 out of the many ones haha. And I don’t experiment much. Just found one set that worked for me and just stuck with it

Fairy circle , the most powerful Tales AOE healing is locked behind paywall , an exclusive pay-to-have artes of Dohalim .
It actually gets worse later when your character level up because Consumable item does not scale towards end game .

They only heal for fixed amount of HP instead of a % of your health unlike previous tales .

When you have like 8000 HP and you have only got Apple gels which heals for 400hp ?
I am right in front of the final boss now and found myself quite underleveled despite not ever escaping from combat and I have finished most of the side quests  .

Woah I’m at the final area too but I took a break to finish those monster hunts. What level you need to be to fight the final boss? Can pm me so no spoilers
