Tales of Vesperia (PS3) - Yuri vs. Estelle (Hard)

I cannot. Frickin'. Believe how many tries this took. The spike between Normal and Hard modes is ridiculously staggering, and it seems the PS3 version made it even more difficult by actually making the enemy AI smart and able to break out of combos on a whim. Look how many times she escapes or goes Overlimit in the middle of my combo, or spams the inescapable Angel Ring! (On the other hand, I, like a moron, forgot to equip Magic Guard.) And yes, I did so poorly that I used up all my Lemon Gels/Gummis. Don't judge. This girl is a frickin' tank on Hard mode.

Guess that's why it's hard...

Continuing this whole "replacing the game's BGMs with situationally-apropos themes from other video games" thing, this song choice is (inspired by the fact that I've been playing way too much KH: 358/2 Days on the side) "The Other Promise" from the Kingdom Hearts II Final MIx OST, used in the fight against Roxas - another comparatively calm song that is dissonant from the fighting action. I'm sure everyone knows that already, though, the song is more popular than Tales of Vesperia. =/

First playthrough; level 46; Hard Mode. Dammit, I really hope Flynn isn't this ridiculous. Probably too much to ask for, though.

Enjoy.

Couldn't you have jumped to avoid Angel Ring?

[WildKnightblazer]

...Um. HEY LOOK OVER THERE A DEMONIC DUCK! *run away*

I...completely forgot about jumping in Semi-Auto mode to be totally honest... I wouldn't put it past the game to catch me anyway, though. =/

U could have just used a magic guard.

[WildKnightblazer]

Read the description. I would have if I had remembered to equip it.
