JoeTang Wrote:I think this one might be higher quality (though the same footage). Also some character footage as well. I personally like this track, and think it's very nice as overworld adventure music. Since it's in both videos, it's likely just a placeholder track. There is a second track for Lailah's scenes there too.
I don't find it bad as music, I find it pretty horrible that they would use the same exact theme in 3-4 games in a row. It's one thing when it's like an Overture (as in like the intro/main theme) or something like that, but to make the song you hear 50-75% of the time in the game the same for 3-4 games running...that's just stupid. It's fine if it's a placeholder track, and completely understandable, though.
JoeTang Wrote:The combat sequence and transition feel really smooth in the footage here. I like how the after-battle report appears. Combat pace seems like it might be a bit slower than Xillia 2's, though that was just jam-packed with Ludger being a speed beast and Link Artes every other attack.
I really liked the battles in the video myself. My major issue gameplay wise at this point is that the camera felt way too close to the controlled character. You really need to be able to see the battle field in Tales games (at least in my opinion), and I feel like the current camera is going to cause issues.
