Glad to hear you're enjoying the game so much Felix, but I disagree, Asbel's Assault Artes are great. His C. ATK stat is significantly larger (Disintegrator has 200 more base C. ATK than P. ATK and he gets 90 more C. ATK from titles than P. ATK) so it makes his Burst Artes stupidly strong through. Incineration Wave is basically all he needs to succeed, but his Assault Artes are amazing for pinning.
To get the Carta game, take a picture of the cards right when the game starts, and press pause. Then when the quote is read, pause and look up who the character is, and check where it is in your picture so you know where to move your cursor. The AI is nearly impossible to legitimately beat (literally). In the JP Version, you could pause to see the card layout, but I think it was harder because I got this done in two tries over here, and it took me a while originally.
Have you finished all the Trials of Graces? When I unlocked the final one in the JP version, I went in, died in 10 seconds, pissed myself, and never went back. You could try a game with all the same character too in the future. Those are entertaining to some degree. I'm gonna try an all Cheria run when I get my JP version back.
Borrowed the game from a friend while he was out of town to try and do a quick run-through. I was inside Rockgagong and one random encounter before the parasite boss I unlocked Chaos mode ._. so I ended up grinding quite a few battles there to be able to win, since that fight is pretty hard if you're unlucky and they all split in four directions to chase down each party member. Ended up getting to Kurt and having to stop because he's just plain too hard and I'm out of time to get better stuff. I've maxed almost all my titles that I have at this point, and can only get very few more, namely Adept titles. The idea was to get some decent Vitality Shards, and just improve the base stats of my armor. I can't seem to time my quick-step around his normal slashes consistently, and even if I could, my other party members would just stand there and eat his 7k shot because they decay their guard waiting for it. Battle would be almost doable if there weren't any other monsters. Every other boss was challenging but still fun, but the damage he does is just too insane for me to last long enough to call this fun. I was sorta disappointed fighting the boar outside Amarcian Enclave though because I brought it down to 1k HP with a Full Weak Ruby Inferno + Mystic Arte 20% Damage title, and it killed two party members after the BC ended when I moved in to finish it off wtp and I just decided I didn't want to redo that battle just to get such a strong combo to chip off such a large amount of health.
That being said, I wish Kurt was one of the Zhonecage bosses. Get rid of the chicken or something and put someone CHALLENGING in there.
Also, not to be a killjoy, but Xillia has nowhere near the amount of replayability, IMO. It's pretty easy to get to 99 and unlock everything. Only thing you'd replay for is the other main character's side of the story, and maybe a high difficulty replay. I'm one of the few people hoping for a Director's Cut I think. Because despite how bad that would be, validating their ability to rehash everything for profit, I want more in Xillia ._.
