Ushi No Tane - Harvest Moon

My favorite character is Dist! I dunno, I thought all of the « Harvest Goddess » Generals were pretty rad.

As for in-party, I also liked most of them. Guy, Luke, Jade, Anise, etc. I didn't really have a problem with any of them.

I really need to play this game again.. it's been forever.

I am a Guy fangirl all the way >:D I love him and the fact that he's voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch is an added BONUS!

Its been almost two years since I last played this game. Poured 60+ hours into it and it did not include reloads on the optional bosses. Still, having that item that halves damage dealt on the field was the best item you can ever use in the battle for that best C.C.

Oh for characters, I just liked most of the casts since they actually had some personalities, not saying I have played the other games when it was dubbed other than the original voice actors.

Ahh my second most favorite game of all games (after Tales of Vesperia). I watched the entire walkthrough and anime. When I heard that Japan was making one for the 3DS I got all sad since I thought that I might not see it come over to North America. Then I saw it at a game store I regularly stop by when I'm at the mall. I almost died of happiness that day. Now both of my top two favorite games are in my possession...I is now a happy child~ (now all I need is a 3DS...)

Now for my favorite characters, that would be Asch, Jade and Sync. I don't really have a problem with the others, but those three were the ones that really got my attention/fangirlish side.

This is one of my absolute favorite games. My favorite characters are Tear, Jade, and Ion. I'm working on my... fourth? Fifth? run on the 3DS, on hard mode this time. Nebilim keeps killing me.

edit: Got a new keyboard, so I fixed Jade's name.

Would you mind telling me how you beat Arietta at Choral Castle? Like, your party members, their level and stuff? I'm stuck on that fight too. DX

What Bluie said is the most effective way to deal with them. Personally I have Jade take on the tiger and Natalia take on the bird. This is while I use Luke to interrupt Anise spells and draw her attention away from the battle. Have the AD Skill jump back with no knock down effects on helps you a lot when you need space and a way to survive. Also timing your FoF when your about to die can buy more time if your already to late to escape a near fatal blow.

My also favorite strategy is to abuse the spells cast on the battlefield and use the FoF against them. Forcing them to stagger or get knocked up is a especially effective strategy to reduce their overall damage output. Just know that I play all my characters I use on manual so I have more freedom to move around the field.

I love, love, LOVE Tales of the Abyss! It is literally my favourite game of all time. I have it on both PS2 and 3DS. >w<

I honestly love all the characters, but if I had to pick a favourite, it would definitely be Tear. <3 I am also in love with Luke. I have a figure of him. xD My favourite one of the villains is Arietta! I even cosplayed as her! :D

On my team, I usually use Luke, Tear, Jade, and Natalia. In my opinion, I don't want to use two swordsmen, having an extra healer is always nice, and Anise dies pretty easily.

Oh, I don't know if you beat Arietta yet, but since I don't think you have Natalia at that point, I'd use Luke, Tear, Jade, and Anise. First, go straight for the Liger, ignoring the other monster and Arietta. Then, kill the other monster. Finally, beat Arietta. I know this because after I lost the first time, there was a skit, and Anise said to team up against the Liger first. I ended up winning the second time.

So yeah, Tales fangirl right here. My first Tales game was Abyss. I've also finished Graces, currently playing Vesperia, and started Symphonia. ouo
