But for a quick answer, it doesn't matter. It only matters after beating the game on your second playthrough when you do the Sweet 16 trophy. At that point you go into the post game area and stack a bunch of Lindwurm for that trophy and to destroy the empowered final boss later. Other than that I always went with whatever I got. The only E skill I kept throughout the whole game in the 2nd playthrough was the 4 in a line one on the Red skills for Sorey (+1 attack on level up) and the same for Lailah (for who I got lucky and got to stack it twice) but for arte attack since I usually Armatized with her. With our combined stats I could get maxed attack and arte attack while Armitized. Not sure how I'll approach the Sweet 16 trophy yet. Though I would like to do it before I take on Chaos Kittybeard and the post game area. I haven't figured out how to do the E skills, so I hope it doesn't matter in the end. Anyway, I'm happy with my progress and hope to plat the game in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I'm happy with my progress and hope to plat the game in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the tip! You should actually tackle the Sweet 16 in the post-game area. The best equipment pieces can be farmed there, including the Lindwurm Ring, which you can get in the way to Sweet 16 to get a piece with 4 of the same skill. The part that matters about the E-skills is that you need a line of 10 for a trophy. Knowing how to manipulate equipment to fill the gaps helps a lot for figuring out a way to get the whole line. What you do is utilize the fact the blue skills (which signifies they are locked) are treated as empty for the purposes of fusion. So with a bunch of the same equipment but with different skills you can first combine 2 to get a blue skill and then combine that piece with the one that has the skill you want so it replaces the blue skill. It is a very useful trick since combining skills is a mess and you are never sure what each combination would get you. It can sound confusing at first, but is actually very simple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Lindwurm ring can be farmed in the Meadow of Something. I really, really don't want to fight the last boss more than I have to, but it seems I have no choice. It all sounds so confusing because I read that farming the Atakk skill is easier, and that I only need to farm the ring for the 'A Knack for Snacks' trophy, which requires a 4 stack. I already know what to do for the E-10 trophy. I haven't collected any of the normins yet for this play through, so I'm going to gather some of the joke weapons, and stick the required normins on them without saying them. I don't remember having this much trouble with Tales of Graces f plat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farming any skill should be just equal since you can increase the odds with the normin. I didn't farm anywhere in the game except for the post-game area, so I only know about the drops there. The point of doing it like that is that you can get any equipment piece type in that same area and all of them are the best ones stat-wise. Farming Linwurm is better because it is useful for the final boss. While collecting a 16 stack of Lindwurm for Sorey I ended up with several other pieces with 3 Lindwurms that I could stick to the other characters. All that made the empowered final boss a joke (I think I said this before, but I'm not sure if I said it to you). What's the problem with the final boss? Just drop the difficulty and destroy his ass. If your problem is the second form you can stand to the right an almost no attacks can hit you. Here is my kill on Chaos if it helps you with anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edunstar84 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I finally completed Zestiria! Gah, this game wasn't fun, so I sort of skipped a lot of things, like popping Holy Bottles during the last few bonus dungeons. I've been looking to do the DLC as well, but heard that it's. It really good. So will skip that. Why put myself through an additional handful of hours when I didn't enjoy the main game? Anyway, I'm still a Undine but with 5 completed Tales of games now. I have both Symphonias, Vesperia PS4, Xillia 2, and Innocence R to complete. One thing I would like to mention is that the Lindwurm Ring didn't turn up after a couple of days of pure grinding. I did the Meadow of Triumph Sorey Atakk normin dungeon grind instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that was supposed to say "it's not very good"? Cuz it isn't. It's just another ruins dungeon like any other from the main game, nothing particularly unique about it except that you play with Alisha and Rose iirc. They just slapped on some random DLC cuz for some reason people felt slighted that Alisha wasn't one of the main characters. Even though she's boring AF. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edited May 13, 2019 by Xillia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't miss her at all when she left the party. I agree with this so much! The moment she left and Rose joined my first thought was: "thank god low ass resonance Alisha is finally gone". Seriously, she was so useless and was holding Sorey back. Then she proceeded to fuck up everything she did on her own. I think the only reason some people like her over Rose is because of the thigh fetish. On the DLC: yes, it's terrible. The dungeon goes on and on. It takes forever to find the right way because it is very confusing to navigate. I only played the DLC because it had several Silver trophies tied to it (plus the items and skits in it counts toward the main game % without increasing the total pool).

ifyucantbeatmeXD Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) i'll never understand the hate for Zestiria, i must be one of five people on this planet that like this game just fine. i've read many arguments (actually most of it is just "i hate this game") and i find them very weak so im still not convinced it's literally two steps up from xillia in every way, except maybe story, but i havent finished the game yet, im at the point before the final areas and bosses. unlike xillia, it's got excellent character/costume designs, great soundtrack unlike xillia's horribly boring non-music (besides the intro song), no corridor fields besides the dungeons, no copy paste ports, great battles, good level of challenge even on just hard and intense, but i suck at games so there's that and the skill system is fun to play with though based too much on rng the only minus id give it is the abysmal graphics. im usually the last person on the planet to complain about graphics but there's no excuse for a ps3 game to look this bad. the visuals and art direction are just fine but the graphics are plain terrible. this is supposedly the 3rd biggest rpg franchise in japan or whatever and it's got graphics this bad, there're no excuse for that. there's many ps2 games that look better. maybe it's better on ps4, ill definitely play that one some later Edited May 14, 2019 by MeteoraXV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think the DLC was lame and Alisha is probably my least favourite of all the Tales main characters. I'm thinking now... besides her I think the only other person I *hated* was Cheria from Graces and even she got slightly better later on. I'd say ToZ is somewhere in the middle of the pack for me as far as Tales games go. Not my top 3 but I still liked it. Though I also liked literally every Tales, even DotNW, so...

ifyucantbeatmeXD Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) @Xilliaok so today im playing it again and i came to realize that while i love most things about this game (gameplay, visuals, music, adventure, cast, etc), i do not have a clue about the plot anymore. it's probably my problem with being rather dumb probably lol and only playing large rpg games on saturdays because i have more time then, but this leads me to very quickly lose the plot of a lot of games i play. i have no idea who's who anymore, what exactly are we doing, who's this muse character again, what did she just do, who the heck is this maotelus that every keeps mentioning, etc. etc. i have this issue with this in a lot of jrpgs it seems. ff7 and tales of symphonia being good examples, despite having played ff7 twice and ToS i even platted so i played it through many times. it's something i have to work on. even reading the synopsis, i'm still confused Edited May 18, 2019 by MeteoraXV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndresLionheart Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I completed Tales of Symphonia! And with that I have become another Lord of Spirits! My thoughts can be found in my Journal Thread. In the section with my thoughts on the platinum I share how I decided to do my playthroughs, along with my story and tips about how I got the infamous Gung Ho title. Still! My journey isn't over yet. I'm currently playing Tales of Innocence for that other juicy emblem, along with recompleting Tales of Vesperia. And, obviously, I can't WAIT for Tales of Arise, it looks so fricking nice. I'm certainly ready for a new game =). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
