Well, now you know why
Well, now you know why this mode is banned in my runs. This was only to prevent you from the scary truth and Cheria's craziness.
This video is my birthday gift for Kevassa02. Check this awesome guy's channel right now or Cheria will come to your house to kill your family and your dog... : @kevassa
This was actually his own idea and he requested it a long time ago along his other 2673472 requests. When he described it to me, I burst in laugh and definitely promised myself I would record it one day. Sorry I kept you waiting for so long xD
You probably got it. This is actually a joke about Cheria's english VA : Laura Bailey. While I grew accustomed to her new voice, I was pretty surprised when Graces was localized since Cheria's japanese VA is much more aggressive during battles while the english one is extremely calm... Why such a change? I will never know... especially since Laura Bailey is very capable to voice over an aggressive woman... as you can see here. I swapped Cheria's voice with the one from the female boss of Saints Row to reach this result. Next Tales game definitely needs a similar character, voiced by Laura Bailey :p
EB is an insanely OP Mode that shouldn't be brought back in the future. I've always been iffy about mechanics that let you chain things forever like Overlimit, but being able to cast an Indignation with no cost and with increase stagger time just sounds plain stupid. Now the good thing about this mode is that it at least lets you show a few things that you would never do under normal cicumstances, like those CC-expensive Arte Skips... but aside from the "coooool" effects and combos, I don't see any reason to use it in a serious video.
One way developers tried to balance EB is by removing the Critical Gauge. Since you can't deal critical hits, your main source of damage during EB will be from Mystic Artes. Depending on your accuracy stat, you may actually end up dealing less damage in EB than in normal mode.
One thing I don't like about Graces is how you can't toggle off a skill, especially the ones that make your recover HP. For this reason, I can't abuse low HP perks during the battle as I don't have any file without those skills. This means that Frozen Rain → Ethereal Rift or Soul Brigade → Ethereal Rift can't be chained that easily. You'll need the enemy to be burnt to increase the stagger time.
Burn is an incredibly useful ailment in EB, because Artes will stagger even longer and the chance of triggering the blue Aura will lower a lot...
You can see I used spell cancel to chain steps much faster than usual. To do it easily, you need to hold the square button and repeatedly input a spell and a side direction.
I tried to use a few other technical inputs such as those double Arte skips. It was pretty hard to do since the cancelling point after Frozen Rain is quite short. The hardest part was easily the "instant spell to step" part as it requires extremely fast movement of the hands to chain those rapidly. I ended the video with the Temporal Rift extended time glitch just to make the combo look even more broken... This game is so silly.
I really enjoyed recording this video since I never use EB Mode, so it was a nice change for once. I kinda broke my fingers again with some inputs but in the end, I definitely like the take. I was thinking about remaking more Graces videos but with such a video that combines technical inputs, glitches and plain gross mechanics I can"t think of any other way to stop the Graces videos.
