Let me point you to my representative Tales character. Which Tales character's cooking is the most memorable for you? a745 I like healing up by cooking after a better like in Symphonia (and truthfully most of the ones after.) I also like getting extra buffs and status upgrades and other little things from cooking in Xillia. I like the system used in Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Xillia the best, I would say. If it wasn't obvious from the cooking article I did, Graces' Eleth Mixer. And I loved cooking an experience boosting meal right before a boss fight! I like the "set and forget" style because managing ingredients was always pretty annoying to me. While I love the attention to small details in Symphonia's cooking system, my favorite is the one in Tales of Xillia. I do like how all the party members incorporate their likes and dislikes into the dishes to make their own variation. I appreciate how involved Symphonia's cooking system was, though my personal bias still lies with Abyss for their lively related skits and how each member incorporates their likes into the customized versions of the available recipes.Ībyss. I don't particularly like bread, but the game actually made bread seem really delicious. I like how they approached this with bread and the different forms of bread. If I were to give a favorite, I would go with Tales of Legendia's. Which Tales game has your favorite cooking system? a745 Otherwise, I only use it when I remember that it's a thing and decide to use it on a whim.ĭefinitely! Everyone should invest in the industry of failed sandwiches. I used it the most in Tales of Xillia and Tales of Xillia 2 before big boss battles and other tough sections. I mostly used Xillia's to get extra cash from bosses. The old ones with the ingredients I usually get annoyed by, though I remember making it through Volt's dungeon in Eternia by stuffing myself with steaks. When it's the new Destiny-style trigger type, I use it a lot for emergency healing, revival, and status curing, as you do. Some of the friends I play Tales games with like managing food more than I do, so I leave it to them. I like the additional effects they give since they are useful for combat. I tend to use the feature wherein the game automatically cooks for you but I tend to forget it to the point of realizing I'm 40 hours into the game and the only thing we're still cooking are rice balls. For this edition of AC Weigh-In, we have: a745ĭo you often utilize the cooking system present in Tales games? a745Īs much as I love the cooking system, I'm one of the few people who actually don't use it much.
