One thing you'll need to know is the ex gem setup, there's two types of characters S type and T type. There's a lot more to the game than just the basics however so if you have any issues with the game or something you find difficult or don't understand feel free to post on the forum people are very helpful here. Best to place your desired move to B/Circle with no directions so you can just press the button to activate the best unison attacks.Īlso you can block some undesired moves in the menu, or even forget them, you can also assign certain tactics like heal people, or attack on the frontlines. Also later on in the game you will get a special team move called unison attacks where if you press V all 4 of your characters will attack with an assigned move. This comes in handy with spell casters and healers like raine. Just basically come at this game as an action rpg/turn based hybrid, meaning most of the time you can hack, and attack, or you can pause gameplay and pick a move. You could also try out phantasia and destiny if you can find them on psx. Simon covered pretty much everything you need to know about the controls and vesperia is a really nice game too I love the graphics on it. Really I think they were making symphonia back then for people who followed phantasia, destiny and eternia which they also didn't really have tutorials but they also started you off simply with a few moves, commands, and just 2 or 3 people. Thanks for the tips, i'll try to put them in praticeĪlways good to see a new player its one of my fav rpgs on steam. Symphonia would be easier to understand if you played that game first if you are new to the series. The closest Tales game in term of gameplay that is on steam right now is Tales of Vesperia. Originally posted by Simon:Yeah, too bad Symphonia don't have tutorial. It is not explained in the game, so you need to google Symphonia has a pretty deep skill learning system as well, which relates to something called Ex Gem later on, Technical-type (T-type) vs Strike-type (S-type), and also your Arte usage. But it is fine if you want to play Symphonia first, but you may need a lot of trial and error and testing and googling if you want to truly understand the game's mechanics. There are many many more mechanics that would take quite a while to explain, so I suggest playing Vesperia first if possible. Manual gives you more control in combat, but Semi-auto is more recommended for newcomers. By default, just make sure everyone else is on Auto, except for 1st slot. That feature was meant for if you have have extra controller, you can coop with a friend during combat. Meanwhile, changing "leader" (with a flag icon beside the character), only changes the on-screen character during overworld.ĭon't set the other characters to Semi-auto or Manual, or else they won't do anything during combat. You don't have free run (360-degree run) in this game sadly, but you can jump by using the Right Stick Up.Īlso a useful reminder that you can switch and play as other characters by just reordering the character onto the 1st slot on top in the menu. RB/R1 - Switches target enemy - It is very useful because the combat was modeled after the 2D linear combat system with left/right movement, but in a 3D setting.You have to edit your strategy outside of combat for changes to be permanent. Y/Triangle - Open menu during combat - But I have to remind you that if you change any settings like the Strategy during mid combat, it will only apply to that battle only and will not be saved.X/Square - Defend - Hold down the button to reduce physical damage from enemies.(You can also do that by opening menu > choose tech menu > choose character > select a tech from the list) But you may also set them as shortcut button to order a character to use a specific tech during combat. (You can hold down the button first before tapping B)Ģ extra tech slots - You can use them as 2 extra tech slots for you character. The 4 slots are activated this in this way. Have 4 possible combinations plus 2 more extra slots. B/Circle - Tech or Technique (also called Artes in other tales) - Based on the tech that you set up in your menu.A/Cross - Normal attack - If the attack successfully hit and stagger the target, your TP recover by 1 TP per hit.Im not sure about the keyboard controls, but on a Controller layout, it is like this: Yeah, too bad Symphonia don't have tutorial.
