RIP

Reminder that you're better off just grinding for tickets than wasting 100 dias unless you're really dead set on getting a certain MA for whatever reason

>>1491204
I think the only ones I can think that are obtainable but not in the finale gacha pool are the first idolmaster MAs aka Colette, Alisha, Marta, and Haruka.

>>1491176 (OP)
ToT

>>1491266
:baw: :baw: :baw:

Its owari....

>>1491235
Yeah you would have to use a rerun ticket for it, and also deal with the 200 diamond cost. I had to use one on the Laphi and Eizen debut event because I apparently never unlocked Eizens first skit, and the banner wasn’t discounted.

>>1491176 (OP)
I hope that the next Tales of game is a gacha-based multiplatform genshin clone using the Arise engine with tales of combat, PVP, and returning tales of characters slapped into it.

>Giving Max an alternate color outfit because he had nothing else
Foul. Fucking Ras has two more MAs

So does anyone have a tier list? I want to know who's actually the worst character you can play as considering they all have their gear

https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1801158355148587159

>>1491176 (OP)
>Another Tales gacha dead
This is why I haven't touched any since ToL.

>>1491813
Not just the gacha. The whole series is rumored to be dead now.

>>1491583
>PVP
No

>Colette and Marta in 1st multi

Wouldn't happen without EoS but i'm glad for collection purposes.

>>1491583
They can't top Rays as a gacha game so I hope they're not stupid enough to try with another Luminaria tier game.

>>1491820
So it really was the Idolmaster gacha that you were aiming

>>1491742
I couldn't remember but if you want my biased opinion. The worst team you can make is

Mel
Pasca
Orie
Annie

Aka, the team that will get hit before they even connect one hit

Rewatching the short animated special they did, damn im going to miss this game legitimately. They had fun with it, it was a good run.

>>1491583
>pvp
How to kill your game day zero. That shit didnt even work out for fucking Pokemon.

>>1491204
The only tedious part is going through all the prize box animations and then doing all your summons. At least they upped the cap of how many enhancement/exp stuff you can hold, so your gift box wont get stuffed with even more stuff to manually collect.

I wish the mobile game MCs have their eMAs. There was no reason to shaft Allen and Zephyr for the poor excuse of a heroine costume and Kana

>>1492362
Despite Zephyr's weird treatment. He does have four 5*s

https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1801548757001191785

>>1492362
They clearly had the opportunity with both Allen and Kanata but they didn't.
Zephyr is a weird one because they had lines prepared for his 5*s but not the MAs

>>1493205
It's not particularly weird. In the voice files, they always have placeholder lines for future 5*s but not MA. They have to bring them back for them to record their MA lines and the animation

I'm finally at that point where I seldom see the download bar whenever I do the infinite tickets

and I still haven't gotten my favorite's eMA

>>1493284
Just spark it then.

>>1493297
No......I don't want to do that

>>1493284
I know that fucking feeling, brother

>>1493261
>We never got RICHARRDO BEEEEAM

Robbed

Made a checklist for d/o/e/0MAs while my game is burning through hundreds of tickets on an auto script. Hopefully i didnt leave out anyone, i did purposely leave out the collab exclusives (Sol, SAO duo, Lina). May do one for sMAs.

https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1802597048602276065

>>1493261
Then you have completely irrelevant characters like Leia who have three fucking Collab MAs and an overray.

>>1494573
>Leia
But muh seiyuu

>>1494483
This is making me realize we never got a maskless Sync, despite his g and sMA have him with no mask on. People are suspecting they might give it to us. Hopefully this means Alphen will be able to take his mask off too.

Im about to his the max amount of grade tomorrow, enough to get an eMA, does it go over the max or do i HAVE to use it? I was hoping it would go over so i can keep burning through tickets and select whatever i didnt get.

>>1494573
>>1494885
Muh Hayamin just like how they spam Muh Nana for Colette

>>1495042
It goes past the end of the bar, so you can keep holding it.

>>1494573
How did Leia even have an overray is beyond me. That could've gone to Muzet

https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1802989641534197966

>>1495042
Have seen people at 10k grade.

>>1495223
I wanted Maskless Alphen.

We've already seen his face like two times

>>1495223
>>1495852
It baffles me that a maskless option is somehow a last minute addition when it's likely they have a model ready when they were making them.

>>1496141
It could be that they had it prepped for some future content for Sync, maybe giving him an d/oMA. Alphen is the more inexcusable one because he has every MA in the book, and not giving us maskless Alphen for his ending MA was just retarded. Shionne also didn't get her end game outfit either.

>>1496183
The story was building up to do Arise's endgame. If we reached sept, there probably would have been a 3rd anni event where Alphen gets his memories and Shionne loses her thorns and they get a xMA together. Likely would have gotten those costumes then.

>>1496141
>>1496183
You also remember that Maskless Sync actually existed for years right back in story mode cutscenes. There was literally no excuse to hold it back

You can still get infinite tickets but it's on a raid stage

>Can finally rebattle Nebilim
Fuck yeah
>Magnadeus
Oh screw him. Worst gimmick boss

>>1496725
Magnadeus was really special. The bonus characters chosen for his raid are all fucking awful against him.

>>1496725
>>1496737
They shouldn't have triggered his MAs if a 5* activates because what was even the point of having them in their Arte slots for the bonus?

>>1496683
Yeah I already burned through over 10k tickets with the SG event, I’m burnt out from it

>>1496725
....so how are we supposed to beat this guy now

>>1497014
It's still the same as last time.
But easy way out. Just spam the sgs on him and never go back to his stage. Might take work on the chaos one but I'm pretty sure you have Ix's Blue Earth by now

>>1496141
>>1496286
His eye animations are unfinished. In a lot of contexts he stares off into the middle distance because there's either no animation data or the appropriate texture is just missing.

The model did exist though, the mask is itself an entirely separate mesh.

https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1804001297667891372

>>1497176
I do, but I don't have Ix's sg, but thanks. This setup worked.

>>1497527
>I don't have Ix's sg
Bro how the hell, we just had the event of a life time to do just that?

>>1497527
>No Ix sg
What? Dude. How is that even possible. You had every opportunity to level up Ix sg

>>1497662
>>1497762
Judging by the sheer lack of sg characters. Anon doesn't seem to have any outside Emil.
But like, we had an event that could've easily gone up all the sg characters to level 5 easily

>>1497769
The other thing is that Ix and Mileenas are the only SGs that are the easiest to level up, as they need significantly less shards, and they always put up shards for them in elemental tower shops. Its just crazy to me to hear someone say they dont have it, but props to that guy for beating the fight anyway

dead series

>got the oMA selector tix today
>notice that Alisha’s is missing
>literally the last one I’m missing
Bro what the fuck

>>1497782
they need significantly more actually, but the elemental tower shards were such an easy steady supply compared to building any other character

Out of the Tales mobile games, Link is probably the most guilty in abusing the fuck out of releasing new Yuri/Leon units to the point no other character matters.

>>1498976
Well Link was just flatout jpeg collecting, so its not that hard to dish out constant jpegs for everyones favorite poster child. The Yuri/Flynn duo banner was where i quit, i had saved up for over a year to get them and the game sent me off with a big ol' fuck you.

https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1805503847726727659

>>1498976
>>1499076
I may be in the minority that prefers Flynn. Yuri's conflict in his game bores the fuck out of me because all his opponents are cartoonishly evil

>>1499474
Only now that we finally got Schwartz?

>>1499530
I highly doubt they going to make her a fully playable, probably a costume/voice swap for Grune.

https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1805904335899120021

>Legendia gets the last sMA event and the last playable character
The fuck?

>>1499738
>I highly doubt they going to make her a fully playable, probably a costume/voice swap for Grune.
Heh

>>1500112
>last playable character
Poor Orwin.

>>1500305
>>1500112
Wait, I didn't realize this is their final fuck you to Orwin.

Is his VA not even available? Even the whoest of whos who hasn't gotten a role in years like with Muzet still got to do some voicelines.

Or do they just really hate Orwin?

>>1500311
Could be the latter. Even in Crestoria's own game, Orwin might as well been an afterthought as the party hasn't even met him for most of it's existence.

>>1500311
Hiroki Yasumoto's voice is sex and I'm fucking mad he's been neglected.

Orwin being so non existent is weird since they did pretty well with Raven for pathetic old men.

>>1500112
>Schwartz playable
>Grune form change
>Senel eMA 2?
>Shirley dMA
Would be funny but I'm not hoping for it

>>1500320
The preview implies she's at the beach so imagine how hilarious it would be that they're getting swimsuits still.

>>1500324
Grune gets her bikini from Asteria.

If they're gonna add Senel and Shirleu, no idea.

>>1500328
>Senel
Speedo
>Shirley
String bikini

Still, I'm happy that we're still getting a new character. Even though Schwartz should've been playable a long time ago

>>1500311
His seiyuu tweeted about loving Orwin and implied he was sad he hasn't gotten to voice him since Crestoria ended service, so it's probably not that.

>>1500111
>they fucking did it
>Patty/Chat/Eizen still got completely fucked over for the pirate event
FUCKING
FUCK
AH

>>1500111
What does the message say that was posted in the next image? Putting it into a translator just did not work for me

Hopefully they just decide to give us the other bosses as playable. Nibilim please thank you.

>>1500677
I'll sum up the important parts:
This is the last character that will be made playable.
The reason Schwartz was chosen was because she was the closest character to being done already
Sorry to those waiting for other characters

>>1500744
>The reason Schwartz was chosen was because she was the closest character to being done already
This reasoning is weird when you consider how long Schwartz has been around as an enemy only character.

>>1500838
The exact way they worded it was that she needed the least work to be made playable.

https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1806174462720852317

>>1500838
They didn't plan on making her playable before eos. They say they wanted to surprise us so they only started work on her after eos was decided.

Did they state Schwartz is also a form change for Grune?
I mean

Why they still maintaining this dead game

>>1500882
Because they like it. And now that they don't have to worry about profits, they can do whatever they want with it (time permitting).

>>1500632
If that's the case, why leave him out so blatantly? Crestoria batches were in two and they must've known about EoS was decided when Yuna was released.

>>1500970
>Crestoria batches were in two
That was back when they were doing 4 MAs per event, by the time they brought in Yuna they were doing only 3 MAs and Vicious and Aegis needed their seasonals.

>>1500744
I was hoping that Radiant Mythology 2 final boss instead

Rays devs putting in effort to implement alt colour costumes and even one final playable character before EOS but they won’t take the time to quickly adjust the shading texture on early swimsuit models (e.g Sorey) to look more natural like the layer ones (e.g. Caius)

>>1501291
Sorey but not Lloyd's unnatural gross looking abs?

Looks like fantranslators are picking up some steam again now with the EoS announcement.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pw0dEZRFqKE
Also a timeline of events that took place before the start of the Rays story that was also translated

>>1501480
This one is more complete https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQLQjg5SZ7Dy_g03Bvspgzynx0GsGOr5nn8wsfnpW-qWUscn80MwZQQBWKDQ0aq2_Mqv1kd-xnLZb9a/pubhtml

>>1500980
That's just an excuse they would make because they don't like Orwin.

>>1501537
Easy anon, we get it, they just didnt have any assets made. Dev teams get told about pulling the plug at least a good year in advance from the company. They clearly just didnt have any assets for him made because they didnt plan him any time soon. Whenever they got told is when everything comes to a halt and the budget is cut off, Ellie being the last character that they were probably in the middle of wrapping up, and the RW villain guy being the last piece of art they had done (maybe more if they reveal more stuff on twitter or thru the art book). There would have been more Cresty content in the future, because obviously Yuna would need an sMA, and the obvious K/M/V awakened sin forms would've come at some other point.

It's much easier to say that they don't like Orwin.
In Asteria, there's literally no art of him nor mention of him while the other five have gotten COSTUMED units right out of the bat
In Rays, where even the most obscure character can get it can't even have him

>>1501563
What do they exactly have against him? It's not like his VA did something horrible for his roles to get blacklisted
Unless Crestoria was just supposed to be a 5 man party.

More like what is crestyfags obsession with a guy that was barely introduced and did nothing before their game died?

https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1806562703567446275

I want to hear her yell EKUSUKALIBAA when doing her collab MA.

>>1501664
NTA but I think Orwin might've been better off as a side character than a main cast member if he wasn't gonna do anything.

>>1501738
>if he wasn't gonna do anything.
Or even exist at all

>>1501664
He was not popular at all, I don't get the whining. Honestly he's really a boring version of the Raven/Zelos/Zaveid archetype.

>>1501814
>He was not popular at all, I don't get the whining.
More like they never gave him a chance. He was barely in his own game and for some reason the devs at Asteria and Rays all made sure he never got the chance

>>1501824
Its not their fault the game did poorly, as another anon said, companies tell the team way in advance when they want to shut down a game. Orwin just really did not get a chance for players to know him, and its a very small minority of players that got to care about him, while the dev's themselves just barely got a chance to get him out the door. Sure theres the manga now, but that was way after the game and is also niche.
It just would have made no sense for Asteria to give him anything when players barely know him and he just barely got any development, and they're not going to devote an arc to introduce him and essentially rewrite his plot in a completely different world where the sin stuff doesnt even exist, i.e. who the hells gonna pull for him? Rays would have been the opportunity to maybe give him a decent introduction, but even then it wouldnt have been that deep because event scenes arent that deep or long, and also EoS. At the end of the day, blame Bamco and the gacha obsession.

https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1806885303778468328

>>1501480
a shame there wont be a console version.

>>1501369
Sorey was an example if you read what you’re replying to, Lloyd and Luke are other people who have disgusting textured since they were all released around the same time. Ix himself only looks barely better because his hoodie isn’t exposing that much of his chest.

>>1501548
>at least a year
>Whenever they got told is when everything comes to a halt and the budget is cut off,
I doubt it. A year before the public announcement was when Recollection was just starting. They did only plan for Recollection to last a year, so being told then is plausible, but not having their budget cut then.

>>1502189
I don't think you played Asteria because the mobile characters were all given a filler event since they don't exist in the main story itself

>>1502278
>Swimsuit Grune actually happened
How in the fucking world

Now I wish Speedo Senel was unironically a thing

>>1502567
But he already has a swimsuit.

This is so worth it for the Seiba voice

>>1502569
To be fair there are multiple characters that have more than 1 swimsuit. Although I don’t know about a speedo, only Kyle had ever wore one among the MCs and that was a silly gag art.

I wish the protags who still don’t have a single swimsuit to their name would have gotten one before Rays ended but no luck there.

>>1502569
Didn't stop Shing to get three

>700 dias
Holy shit

speaking of speedos, zelos not getting his is a real crime

>>1502829
He got 2 though like some other characters, both of this were from Hearts R because of their paid cutins experiment.

>>1502901
Zelos got a weird treatment that way, his hot springs MA had him covered up on the actual model too. I used to really hate those years, a guy would be shirtless for whatever reason on the Ma art but the new costume has him fully covered.

Does anyone know what's the fes bonus based on

I mean the solo challenges. Not the farming event

>>1502995
I believe it’s based on how many characters you have unlocked. As soon as I unlocked Schwartz, I got an extra 10 points. My roster is also at 270 characters, and my bonus is 270%

This grind event is the event to buy out the 3rd LB crystal vouchers so you can get units to level 80. The other events weren’t really giving us many of those, and the event shop lets you buy them infinitely.

Take note that once you hit a certain threshold, the event shop will give an error message if you try to exchange anything.

Just wait for the fix

>>1502894
This EoS has been infinitely more giving to players than Link/Crest/Asteria, im glad.

>>1502995

Damn, i hope someone gives us clean scans of the art book when its out, i like this kind of stuff.

>last month
Guys, im feeling fucking sad, its starting to hit me.

Theres a new survey thats about the future of the "Tales of" series in general. If anyone wants to fill it out, its in the box at the corner on the home screen.
Maybe it will give us some decent hope, since this IP honestly needs it after all this.

https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1808799635206721750

Who's the strongest light mage? I need to pass this stupid day with the jacked af ota

>>1508407
Tear
Marta

Doesn't have a spirit gear but Allen is insanely powerful or light nukes

Alternatively, just have Ix as a meatshield with his overray mode on and just slap Tir Na Nog and his sgMA

>>1508407
I used Keele

https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1810256622796894485

>>1508514
Kocis should've gotten those prototype outfit instead of the one he got

>>1508514
>>1508557
This was in Ix's mind when he thinks of "someone cool". It made more sense

Though they did eventually make Kocis look slutty looking with his Arc 3 outfit

>>1508514
4th Kocis looks like they reused it for Law

Sleeveless on one arm and armored on the other

Please give us some xMA selectors. PLEASE

>>1508749
A is Loni
B is Law

https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1810611689135747107

https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1810980371896619051

>>1508621
Somehow that outfit was even more Ix’s tastes and ideas in mind.

Still bizarre to me how those two buttons keeping the shirt on never came off, how Kocis is the only one of the main 4 OCs to not get a swimsuit and he never got a shirtless alt either. (Though to be fair Ix didn’t either despite being the protag)

>>1510980
>main 4 OCs to not get a swimsuit
>4
? who the hell are you counting

>>1511020
She's probably only counting the playable ones: Ix, Mileena, Kocis, and Nevan. Karya should also technically be a main character, but she's more of a mascot.

>>1510557
Im glad they went for the most pure sexo design

>>1511057
>>1511020
I've always counted Ix, Mileena, Kocis, and Karia N as the main four.

Marcus and Phil are the odd ones out.

>>1511020
>>1511057
>>1511206
I’m the one who originally said, I was counting Ix, Mileena, Kocis and Karia N as the main 4. Technically I consider them only the main 3 but Karia is based off the other Karia who’s always around so I included her too.

Everyone else were originally rivals or enemies before becoming playable.

Looks like they're going to be giving us Mieu and Bien through an event, which is nice. Also they mention trading in currency for diamonds, hopefully its infinite, but i doubt it. Games pretty much wrapping up.

>>1511907
>Also they mention trading in currency for diamonds, hopefully its infinite, but i doubt it. Games pretty much wrapping up.
Where did you see that?

>>1511907
Is that Elize or what ?

>>1513424
It was just how the message translated, no diamond in the exchange shop, and it just meant using the ticket for Mieu/Bien on other stuff if you already own them. The event fights gave 25 diamond a piece at least.
>>1511907
Cecily, one of the story OCs. The mystery character was just Sword Dylmos.

>>1511057
>>1511206
>>1511270
karia n is not a main character in the same way as the protagonist, heroine, and temporary protagonist are, no.

>>1511270
>Everyone else were originally rivals or enemies before becoming playable.
by that logic you should include yolanda too.

Really wish we had gotten a drinking night event. Would have been the perfect chance to give all the older guys sMA's in one sweep.

The xMA selection is up until end of Nov last year??? The game is ending service!! Why the FUCK does the select ticket not cover EVERYTHING?!

I forgot, why the twins stuck in their costumes? How do I revert back to their original outfits, in their customization the original outfits options are all locked,

>>1514378
Dio and Mel? They change outfits if you use their MA or land criticals for a short time, and then revert back to their defaults. You cant manually swap them like costume outfits. They dont have customization options to begin with.

>>1514517
Yeah I was just confused since it’s been so long since I last played with them and their original outfits are locked in the options.

>>1514645
Yeah that just means you have it equipped. Unfortunately due to their gimmick, they got completely screwed over in more ways than one. At least they got one of the game's final MAs

Did Nan ever appear in Rays?

>>1515227
Sadly no. I really wanted them to add her and the Don, so that Karol can get some real fucking content.
Also just to make small talk, i always thought Nan was supposed to be a party member. Vespy DE had one empty space when your buying equipment with Flynn in the party, and she was the only character that went through that doubt of "fuck, maybe we shouldnt kill this thing just because it looks like a monster" during the last arc of the game.

Are you guys archiving the files from the game?

which tales of series has the highest player count? i know later remakes and sequels kind of expand the party size.

https://aselia.fandom.com/wiki/Tales_Series/Games

>>1515264
You mean which one had the most party members? X2 if you count FMilla being temporary. If not, than X2 is tied with Vesperia DE, and the real winner is Symphonia 2 with just Emil and Marta + the OG cast, which goes higher if you include being able to catch monsters as party members.
And then theres Luminaria on that list.....

>>1515269
He said "Tales of" series so that game is irrelevant.

https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1813142281660342364

>>1515330
technically it is but game is blacklisted

>>1515264
Tales of Destiny PS2 at 10.

If we count party members you can't toggle to player controlled as well as temporary members, DoTNW wins at 11 non-monsters (emil and marta, 8 returning characters, and richter) as well as being able to cart around 4 monsters.

but since this is vmg, may I offer rays as the answer? it has 17 characters playable that originate in rays, as well at the other 200 playable characters

Why bother showing Orwin?

5 days left

>>1516013
The end really is coming, isn't it.

>>1516016
Makes me sad. Haven’t had time to deal with unlocking all the recollect stuff, just too time consuming. I do basically have every MA except for 3 origins, got enough to pity one at least.

>>1516013
You guys getting all the files from the game?

so nothing after five days? they are just retiring the tales series?

>>1516430
For the meantime, yeah. The series will be dormant until whatever news we can get

Hopefully console this time because them announcing another mobile one is just asking for it

>No gacha / Spinoff to support Legacy characters
>No new game announcement
>Nothing

Dead. Just like God eater series, and any other series that isnt big 3 anime.

So did anyone try to get all eMAs? (Minus Lina for obvious reasons)

>>1516536
I gottem. Had to pity Creeds the other day. That spirit gear event helped out a lot with tickets, probably went through almost 20k tickets.

>>1516430
All they’ve really said is “we have news for next years Tales Fest, so just wait”. They’d be really stupid if they expect people to wait that long and don’t just make some announcement during some convention beforehand.

>>1516536
I got all the mirrages in the game that are available (so no collabs; I do have Lina because I pulled it on her event though) thanks to the Spirit Gear Event. Macros go brrrr.

>>1516316

Unlike crestoria, the models were too low poly for porn so whats the point ?

>>1516749
theres more in life than porn anon...

Gonna miss rays man.
If only they made a proper offline version instead of the half assed version we got....

>>1516795
I really wanted its sequel to really be like this: >>1491583

>>1516749
Has anybody even got the Crestoria models?

>>1516749
>the models were too low poly for porn
not with that attitude
any naked bodies would need to be custom made to fit the art style though, so the barrier to entry is high enough that you may as well make a custom model

4 days left

>2703 diamonds in the mail
Alrighty then

>>1516888
I got them all.

2703 dias and I decided to use all of them because it's only a few days left

>>1517052
I'd ask if you were willing to share a few but I can't offer anything in return.

>>1517281
I’m just going to use them on discount pulls daily, so that I fill up the pity meter better. Missing 4 MAs and hoping for the best.

What do I do with the polywiggle coins that the carnival stages drop? I looked around the shop tab and didn’t see anything for it.

>>1517318
NTA but isn't there a dump of Crestoria in the Internet Archive? Or am I mistaking it for another Tales game? You can then use the datamine guide and extract everything you want, not just the models of the OCs.

>>1491583
I guess they could roll with what was Arise's original vision of seamless combat. Allstars-like could up remake potential too. A gacha game with a budget is as good as any spin-off title. But this is Bamco we're dealing with here.

>>1517645
I found 1 upload but it was deleted on whatever hosting site it was on. I thought you had to have the game running on emulator to access the files since they don't download otherwise.

>>1517599
The carnival shop was updated.

3 Days left.

Guess im gonna spend it all on favorites

why is lifebottle admin so desperate to get his groups name attached to the p*****e server despite 0 contribution

>>1518004
I cant even join the regular Rays server, invite just doesnt work.

>>1517847
Ah thanks. Nothing i even need at this point. Really wish they had added some pull tickets to it, oh well, guess this is really it.

Since Offline version was planned, Is it possible for someone to make this game playable for everyone will all the characters and skills (including collabs) included ?

>>1518165
Its not a true standalone offline, im not sure if that makes a difference for hackers. I mean alot of things could be possible, there just has to be interest for it between people that actually know how to do it, rather than just randos online

I played this during EoS
This is the REAL Tales game.
Bamco is fucking retard to EoS this

>>1518195
The only complaint this game ever really got was the lack of shortcuts, not being able to equip more than 4 artes. Other than that, it makes a legitimate and solid Radiant Mythology sequel.

>>1518196
Besides your characters usability being dictated by how good the devs want them to be. Hubert got done dirty being the only character to get nerfed in 7 years.

So we cant get any collab characters / costume anymore right ?

>>1518317
Nope, only the first Idolmaster event in the rerun menu, the Leila event.

>More select tickets
Well thank you

I literally spent all day to fully maximize my favorite character lol

Tales Of Hebephillia

>>1518004
Him acting as if he were an admin there just a few days before the game dies is so cringe tbqh

>>1518446
>Alisha's oMA not on the list
>no Origin selector
FUCK

>>1518744
Spark it.

>>1518778
I'm trying to get them all, because I'm missing Alisha's oMA, and Annie/Shionne/Richards origin. Iv been pulling daily but at most I'll have enough to spark 2 origins.

Less than 40 hours left

>>1519302
>dragalia dead
>rays upcoming death
>octopath (global) getting eos signs since the last roadmap
Is this a sign telling me to stop trying out gachas

>>1519334
All gachas die sooner or later, thats just the system for it. Even ones for big animes like DB or OP will die off eventually or purposely get replaced with a newer game. JP versions of games usually last longer, like in Rays case. At the end of the day, like any game, they are just time wasters, and you shouldn't invest much into them except for when your sitting around bored.

>>1519492
At least make it fully offline like that Megaman gacha did. This game is 7 years old unlike other gacha out there who died in less than a year

>>1519501
I find it funny that people use Megaman Dive Offline as the comparison when Tales itself has a much older example of the same exact thing in Reve Unitia

>>1519501
They should have made a real offline version. I mean theres still a possibility they can announce something down the line. To be fair companies okaying an offline version of a gacha is super rare, and only recently did it pick up some steam (Megaman, Metal Slug, Square doing afew random ones like Little Noah and that one game in the last Nintendo Direct)

>>1519562
Because most people won't and don't play these sorts of games after they stop getting updates. There's only a small handful of people that will actually play something Rays in their spare time just to play it.

>>1519501
>>1519562
I'm still convinced that if they made a console version they'd have to completely remake the progression system. I have not played any of the games you guys listed, but I doubt they are 1-to-1 exactly the same as their mobage counterparts.
The live service system does not work offline. You can't have 100+ tabs of events, each with their individual shops and currencies that the game expects you to repeatedly grind. The biggest offender would be raids being impossible to do by yourself.
How would the gacha even work if they left it in? Would you have a banner for each event? You'd have like 100+ more tabs to scroll through. Put everything in one banner? There's 250+ characters each with 10-30 items, it'd be impossible to get a specific arte you want.
They could possibly get rid of the gacha and let you unlock artes through levels or something which would require a entirely new system.
They'd also need to change the UI to work with controllers, though that's a smaller hurdle compared to the above.
That kind of work would take at least a year or 2 to do and they wouldn't announce it until it's near finished.
Also I remember in the first year they wanted to let you fly around in the ship, but they got rid of it because it was too heavy for phones. They'll probably want to put that back in.

I think there is a possibility they might do this. The latest survey does ask if we'd like to see a sequel. If they do make a sequel, they'd need to make this game available so people that didn't play can catch up.

How many hours left ?

https://x.com/Wario64/status/1814874890433863946

It's not gojover for Tales yet

>>1519795
>Just X1
Don't know how to feel about this.
X2 is the way better game

>>1519799
Wait 3 more years

>>1519771
Like 25-26. Last day pretty much. Time to play clean up and spend all your stuff before you can’t anymore. View any I viewed skits and cutscenes.

>>1519907
Unwatched* skits and cutscenes.

>>1519795
I really hope this isn’t all. No way they’re that retarded to port a single game, on top of it being a rushed and unfinished game that needs its sequel.

>>1519907
>skits and cutscenes
Only play
at EoS here
How to see skits ?

>>1519922
Far right button on the home screen, then it should be first button in the second row. Each character has a skit for when you properly unlock them (via story or event), a skit for when you get them to level 10 trust and then doing their Skill Quest that unlocks after (giving them presents in the lobby, and then skill quests is one of the tabs when your selecting story modes to play), and then additional skits if that character has an xMA and you've acquired it.

>>1519926
Thanks

23 Hours, boys.

>>1519795
I want official English release of Destiny DC or actual Destiny 2

Just as a reminder, for anyone who recently joined or whatever. You will not be able to do any of the following after EoS:
-Enhance or level up anyone or any weapon/MA in any way. Arte enhancements, unlocking SG or Burst on an MA, powering up existing SGs, awakening or uncaping a unit. You'll still be able to swap equips and outfits.
-No more Tower skills. You wont be earning Tower skills with the offline Tower.
-Exchanging anything at all. All exchange shops will be closed off, including the Turtlez shop for buying gear or costumes. Got any currency, use it now.
-Unlocking cutscenes of any sort, including Recollection scenes. You cant unlock skits either, the Lobby will still be open to customize but you cant give presents to anyone, and Skill Quests will also be closed down.
-No gacha. This includes the friend point pull. You will not be able to use any tickets or selectors either.
-No coop. You can view your badge collection, thats about it.
Thats all i can think off, anything else important, just post it.

I think im done maxing all the characters i care about.
Its over. Bye. See you on the next Tales Gacha.

That's some massive shit taste you got there, pedo

>>1520074
It's not even accurate either. Arietta and Tear are the same age

>>1520025
>want to exchange BGM
>can't do it directly from the BGM list and has to search specific characters in Turtlez shop
Shit game to the end desu

>>1520025
whats the fucking point then, just delete the whole fucking game already

>>1520132
I had to go through all 200+ characters to buy any left over stuff and their BGM. I wont even go into the 20k tickets worth of unskippable summon animations....

>>1520133
Don't forget they will remove the offline version from App Store at a later date so players can't redownload it if their current device is dead.

>>1520132
I wish they at least list the characters name which have the BGMs.

>>1520164
>Don't forget they will remove the offline version from App Store at a later date so players can't redownload it if their current device is dead.
Thats the case for any gacha that lets you keep a glossary of scenes and jpegs you've collected after EoS. Hell, some of them dont even give you a grace period and immediately cut it off after the EoS day, so you cant even download it or sync your account.

How to backup all Rays gamefiles on Bluestacks ?

The game is lagging like shit because of everyone's last minute EOS rush.

What a thing to get off the last pull ever.

Less than two hours left for the gacha, a bit more for eos

30 minutes left

Barely managed to go through the turtle shop and buy all the costumes I was missing. Took way too long.

I'm a fool for leaving things up to the last minute again at EOS. That's all the collab MAs powered up though.

Banners are all gone now.

I refuse to leave my room!

Managed to do one final unison attack.

>>1520737
You can still do other stuff like skill quests or watching skits until the actual EoS maintenance

Seven hours left for EoS.

>>1521172
Less than 2 hours. 10 pm EST

>>1521178
You can easily proc it since he activates it when you do yours. It's everything else in his kit that's a problem since it's RNG by that point.

>>1521178
You have to use your Mystic first, he counters with it.

Room - Room Settings - Customize button under your character.

>>1521458
Tower 51+ is 4 enemies with 800k+ HP each. Last Floor is all 4 main story part bosses with no weakness. Mithos as usual still destroys everything.

>>1521919
Oh, cool. Thanks.

Okay, so the Recollection story isn't counted as part of the main story after all. Great. Fantastic. I'll have to turn to youtube for that then since unlocking everything by EOS was too much of a pain.

>>1521946
You didnt unlock and finish the main Recollect story? Pretty sure that was fairly simple and was also promoted during the Kodama ending event for more rewards.

Anyone got a summary of what happens in the new final story? Is everyone just living life like normal or is everyone getting sent back to their original worlds/selves?

Someone uploaded the game files, its up on the games subreddit and uploaded to google drive. For anyone that wants the files.

>>1521946
Isnt recollection based on rejected Tales gacha ?

>>1522141
Everyone is having their moments hanging out/reflecting on growth. All the Mirrist come together for a meeting to do something, and Ix does that thing again where he goes into the void, and the Wiseman (guy that usually shows up for collab events) shows up to tell Ix that theres a 99.9999% chance a threat is on its way to kill/delete all the people that got exoflected. Basically the walls of reality are crumbling because Dana's presence is getting weak. The threat can not only destroy Tir Na Nag, but also the worlds of the other tales characters. (You) the player come into play as the Observer, and you have been keeping the world alive this whole time, but with side effects that also cause the threat to grow. The possible solution is for you to stop observing, which will let the world maintain itself but close itself off, with the problem being is that every clone living can have their existence get unstable because they live off of being observed. The other option being is to just send everyone back home, but of course they will die in whatever story related thing from their world or potentially cause an contradiction where they get deleted anyway. Basically every plan can mean death for everyone.
Everyone groups up with the respective characters from their titles to maul over it, (Chester cant decide going back because Ami is alive with him in this world, Mithos just wants Martel and Yuan to stay and be happy, Cresty gang obviously on the fence about going back to their world)
The game now gives you the power to send who you want back to their world or stay in this world to try and stabilize things, basically like a hail mary and see you on the other side. Its supposed to be symbolic

>>1522181
Once you make your selection. The Recollect gang show up for like 2 seconds. Ix and the other OCs all get together to perform the ritual, and they also thank you for being with them observing their lives so far. Credit roll.

Post stats

>>1522184
So it’s basically a sad ending then? Sounds like all the plans will end in death.

>>1522181
This might be coping, but I think this is their way to keep it open for a sequel. If they make a new game, they can say the observer is back so we can summon them again and this is why you're recruiting them from scratch instead of everyone being there from the start. And story wise, this will allow them to move time forward however much they want (like to recollection's time period 200 years later) without needing to worry about the characters changing (I'm aware exoflections don't age, but if years passed you'd expect them to change in other ways).

>>1522377
In a sense yes, I guess it’s supposed to be up to your interpretation. If you have faith in it, then everything worked out and no one died. You as the observer, who has watched everyone for so long would believe in them and their resolve.
I played another game that ended off in a similar note during EoS, honestly not a bad way to go about it and it does actually feel sad.
>>1522520
Could be. Even a “reboot” would work, where it’s yet another Ix and Mileena copy in a newborn Tir Na Nog because the Ix of Rays exoflected them during the ritual with the power of everyone. They wouldn’t have to directly reference Rays even, just save it as an interesting lore Easter egg for people to figure out.

Had I known modding would be this easy on offline I would not have spent that many weeks farming events.

sucks their memories get erased if they go back to their homeworld. it's like they're suddenly in a new place and the next they don't recall what they were doing before. meanwhile the inhabitants of that world wonder where our heroes and villains are.

>>1523122
Weren’t they technically cloned over to Rays? So it wasn’t the real ones plucked from their world. At least that’s what I thought this whole time, specially with that 2 Velvet scenario in the early story.

Is there any Tales character who confirmed to go back their homeland ?

>>1523260
What do you mean? Like after the Rays ending? No, its left ambiguous on purpose.

>>1523122
>>1523216
Yeah everyone in Rays are just copies, even the collab characters. The originals are still back in their own worlds and doing their thing, so any character being sent back is actually be sent to their death since they’ll just cease to exist, they’re not taking over the original or merging with them.

Rays was fun but I rather have a real Radiant Mythology 4 instead of a Rays 2.

Looks like Marcus was going to get a Halloween alt down the line. Shame, its looks cool.

>>1525558
That's his Tirgland costume from Asteria.

>>1525619
Ah, it was reminding me of the Asteria seasonals the more I looked at it. I wonder if they had hoped to flesh out Asteria content some more in Rays. Maybe he was meant to be in the Elle event while Victor’s eMA was supposed to be part of something entirely different.

>>1525558
>>1525619
It’s labeled the same way, perhaps it was just for convenience but maybe they did plan to bring this outfit to Rays proper. I wonder if the artbook will actually remove characters/costumes/ mirrors that they couldn’t implement in time or scrapped concepts.

I always wondered why Marcus didn’t get more content, his debut event was insanely popular but he had to wait years before getting more and the staff decided that they should just make all villain events instead of making more of that casino gang in particular.

>>1525681
>>1526316
Its already in Rays. They reran the asteria side of the collab last year and he wore it then.

>>1526347
Thats what i get for skipping cutscenes.
>>1526316
>his debut event was insanely popular
Well yeah because it had Kratos, Mithos, and Sync wearing tuxes, while going around acting like its a heist action movie. Not saying Marc isn't cool, but that event was hard carried by those three and they knew.

so far only the dojo can be messed around right? haven't played rays forever,i needed some catch up what character can do

>>1527432
Dojo
Tower
Guildhouse (where an anon helped me find out you're able to change outfits there)

>>1527432
The dojo can be used to spawn stuff, swap between classic gameplay and Recollect gameplay, change backgrounds, and etc

Can we please have the unlimited battles that gave us so many EXPs, Money, Materials and Items. And on Event items to give us EXPs and items with Crystal Level Caps to level up on Offline version as much we want before October?
It's too boring to play Tower and training room without them. We need them for offline version! Please! Put them back before reaching October! I think fans wants them

Its nice that they're still doing stuff. Most games would kill of their social media account after EoS

>>1536915
Chances are that they probably didn't want to EoS in the first place but had to since other games in the company flopped and required the devs to cut the budget so they could allocate their money for other stuff.

>>1536516
https://x.com/talesof_therays/status/1822245358904250486

so uhh since this is the literal only tales thread in the world... worth trying out destiny? I never got to play it cause not translated before but hey it is now. fun cast?

>>1538329
This one's alive kind of. PSX version if you can deal with the jank and want to try meme caster builds even for Stahn. DE for sure but the second half becomes tedious because Team Destiny makes annoying lategame dungeons.
>>>/v/685285124

This just proves Bamco killed Tales for good and spread their developers to another projects, like Slime Isekai Game.

Damn, RIP 2

Anyone here order the art book? Really hoping someone scans and dumps the whole thing.

>>1538329
ToD:DC is really good go fucking play it right now
I half agree with that other anon about late game being a bit tedious but to me it wasn't that big of a deal. In fact in a way the difficulty ramps up at that point kinda forces you to utilize and take advantage of everything in your arsenal, like using the right skills/moves or spells, choosing the proper team members or even using Woodrow/Chelsea and stay on the backline cheesing enemies with arrows while Kongman tanks everything and dies.

Do you guys think there will be a free-to-play Tales of game available on consoles, PC, and mobile devices?

>>1546410
I dunno. Namco would be stupid enough for it. If they want to ride the coattails of a new game announcement (whenever the hell that finally happens), they most likely would make a mobage.

>>1546410
Considering they shut down everything Tales related in these past few months..... No. Its completely over for Tales series. For real this time.

>>1546487
Xillia remaster soon, cant wait to play it with japanese audio.

>>1546410
I think there will be eventually, but not anytime soon. They're probably prioritizing the 30th anni mainline game first.

It's Graces F remaster confirmed

Also confirmed that there's going to be a big remastered projects for the other games

>>1551562
They say other games but I'm only seeing the PS3 ones getting a chance so both Xillias and by chance, Dotnw

>Be one of the most popular tales characters
>But your games are never leaving from their original system
Leon......

>>1552092
There was this unfortunate period that the only Destiny character they gave a shit at all was Leon and virtually the rest of the cast did not exist. There wasn't any incentive to give Destiny any love

D2 is about the same except replace Leon with Judas

>He's actually here
I guess it wasn't fully blacklisted

>>1552104
As much as I want D2 to finally get localized, it would look so weird next to Destiny 1 since it's gonna be DC that they're choosing instead of the original
