The game LITERALLY tells you about every single thing on this list.. BLATANTELY too. Not hidden away or in some secret menu. It genuinely teaches you all of this stuff.

You can change characters mid battle by holding L1 and pressing the directional pad button of the corresponding part member rather than doing so in the pause menu mid battle.

For the skits; if you miss it. Or didn't see the R2 on the bottom. When you camp. Go to Reminisce. Any skits you missed will be highlighted with a diamond next to the title to let you know that you haven't seen that skit yet.

[SolisOfDreams]

Not going to lie, these tips are in the game. They tell you these things to your face.

My tip: set up a strategy where all your character just do nothing and run away from the boss, and turn that strategy on when boss is on over limit. no blocking this game so basically boss do one shot when they turn on over limit

[Manbat]

Tips that you wouldn’t know unless you played other Tales games.

The game straight up gives you a tutorial on all of these

[Kyoshu]

Knowing that the plants gave a permanent boost would've been nice to know earlier XD

[Kennosuke]

The person playing this game is spamming the flame sword 😂

[hikistyle]

if you miss out on skits, you can watch or rewatch it on camp

[GLERFUNKEL]

There's a literal tutorial pop up in game for almost every one of these lol

[terminate_all]

Y'all complaining about the characters talking too much in combat..when that's basically every tales game ever..just turn the voices down or off ffs.

[KuronDarkly]

Yeaaa. The game does tell you about spamming attack penalties pretty early sooo p:

[Ultra_Kuma]

Why don't you tell us what buttons to press to use / activate Mystic Artes during the Overlimit???

[fabiano]

Correction...is not spamming the same attack 4 time in a row.... You will be penalised spamming twice the same attack in a sequence of 4 actions.

[rebelwithoutaclue]

I have a rather strange gripe with this game. If you are really good at fighting and understand the mechanics enough to fully implement them, the battles just end too quickly! Making it more difficult to experiment and discover new Artes.

here's a much less obvious tip: Accessories bonus skills STACK

[PCs]
