|
|
My first Tales game, like many of you here, was Symphonia. My second was Legendia.
Both feature team attacks of some sort (Unison Attack, Climax Mode), and as a newcomer to the series, I remember thinking at that point in time that such team attacks were trademarks of the series (among other things).
Sadly, it's not a feature that gets repeated often. Would you like to see team attacks implemented in to the next Tales game? I sure would. _________________ Gaming in 2013:

| Yes, but no as a substitute of mystic artes nor a way to trigger them. I think using arcane artes is best to trigger MA's. |

I really liked Symphonia's Compound Unison Attacks, although the limit of one compound unison attack per unison attack was rather sad.
It always made me feel like the characters were fighting together instead of on the same side of the battlefield.
I'd really like to see them return to the series, but this time with more Compounds per Unison. _________________ Also known as Sliv, Slivvie, Quilvius, Slivendiferious, and slivijizzisious

| Unison attacks is one of my favourite things about Symphonia. I would really like to see something similar in a future Tales game. |

Symphonia actually required some strategy when you macroed your attacks. Legendia was like the laziest way you could do a unison attack thing. _________________ SOON.

main games that have some sort of unison thing:
Eternia, Symphonia, Rebirth, Legendia, Innocence, Hearts, Xillia
main games that don't:
Phantasia, Destiny, Destiny 2, Graces
maybe kinda in between:
Abyss (FoFs?), Vesperia (one high ohgee) _________________ Mint-III

Too bad building your battle strategy in Symphonia (with ex skills and stuff) around Unison Attacks isn't really a viable option =/
Though it is fun to have three Unison Attacks in a row, that rarely happens. _________________ Also known as Sliv, Slivvie, Quilvius, Slivendiferious, and slivijizzisious

Yes I'd love that to happen but it also made Legendia way too easy even on hard mode.
As for triggering more then 1 I rarely had that happen in Symphonia and in Eternia their 100% useless since the 2 moves that make up the combo will do more damage then the team up move itself. |

Unison Attacks. Dual Artes. Or Dual Hi Ougis...all of them were pretty rad. _________________ Support XSEED | Listen to Falcom music | Do life the right way

Team attacks are the essence of team work and therefore should be utilized more often.
It would be nice if the game implemented a way to tell you certain attacks will combine making a duel/compound attack that will create better results (im looking at you Symphonia! For making me figure out compound attacks!) _________________

oh.
Yeah, collaboration of any sort is nice to see, but I was mostly talking about attacks that involved the entire battle party (i.e. Unison Attacks). _________________ Gaming in 2013:

I really would like stuff in the line of more whole-party unison, it really fits in with the Tales feel. I also adore dual attacks and such and totally agree with elago/Sunny. _________________
