I think I missed the first part of the Brionac quest.

I like Judith and am pretty pissed to find out I needed to do all this just to get her best weapon.

 

Am I going to miss out on any big achievements because of this?

Yes, you'll miss out on a item collector achievement, but ToV has to be the worst JRPG on the 360 for achievements (and this is coming from a guy that's oh-so close to 1k/1k-ing Eternal Sonata).

As for your party, I like Yuri, Estellise, Judy and Rita.

Fatal Strikes are pretty easy, I think. The key is to hit RB to check the enemie's FS meter - there's a bar that shows how close you are to unleashing a up, down, or left/right FS. Each monster type has a different type of FS they are weak against. Keep using artes that correspond to their weakness, and you'll be getting fatal strikes on every enemy in battle. They're a great way of getting lots of grade pts per battle.

Now, for me, Overlimits were the trickier of the bunch, and learning to properly use Burst and Mystic Artes. I still haven't got a 'great' combo chain yet - my max is still at a paltry 40 hits.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Did you know that Yuri's brutal fang can do up to 106 hits if you keep tapping the b button?

I am a joke when it comes to combos. I just run around beating enemies around with 4 regular attacks and then hit them with a Dragon Swarm.

This is the first Tales game that I actually played more than 2 hours in. I now look back and think "Why have I not played these games?"

24 hours in now and I just finished kicking Zagi's ass at the coliseum. I kicked the hell out of him. Probably helped that I was level 35. 

Unfortunately I also missed on of the secret mission achievements so far, the one from the Goliath, where I needed to knock him down by attacking his achilles heal or something.

You seem to be enjoying the fights with Zagi alot.

Zagi fights are generally a lot of fun.

Yeah, I have the same combo mindset as you. As long as it works and I don't get hit, I don't really mind.

I'm finally on my EX run btw. I seem to be going at a much faster pace than my first playthrough.



Yeah, I finally have a sig.

Gotta love Zagi and his fights.

Zagi fights are the best.

I wish he was on my team.

I beleive so, him and Elucifer the entelexia(wrong spelling?) both. I may be wrong though, memories a bit fuzzy, but I believe Elucifer was one of the only Entelexia on the human's side, and ended up being betrayed.
