Isn't "trying to do stuff [combos]" methodical?Riyuuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16978135434952858085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196813830708036159.post-60185033385490770022009-05-10T14:41:00.000-07:002009-05-10T14:41:00.000-07:00Fool, you didn't even have any healing spells.

But my point was that Tales does require you to hit the buttons repeatedly at a very high rate, taking the experience pretty far from "relaxed."<br /><br />Also, I was mainly speaking from the perspective of when Parasite Eve was released. The contemporary Tales and Star Ocean titles would have been Tales of Destiny and Star Ocean: The Second Story (though, actually, both those games came out later in North America).<br /><br />If you're still not satisfied, perhaps you or Czardoz could enlighten me as to the "method" at play when you guys burned through the TP like crazy to massacre ordinary weak enemies in ToD.Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10826787550676541006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196813830708036159.post-41670193831883062122009-05-10T09:10:00.000-07:002009-05-10T09:10:00.000-07:00also feeling more relaxed and methodical than a bu...<I>also feeling more relaxed and methodical than a button-masher like Tales</I>... <br /><br />A correction needs to be made. Replace "Tales" with "Kingdom Hearts".<br /><br />It takes a lot more thought than just smashing the A button to get those +100 hit combos, you know (if you're not doing it the cheap way).Riyuuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16978135434952858085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196813830708036159.post-29844817282390608362009-05-09T18:54:00.000-07:002009-05-09T18:54:00.000-07:00How do I put this diplomatically?
