Tales of Rebirth - Boss 16: Eephon - Hard Mode

At long last, here is my first new Tales of Rebirth video in six months!

I have finished the re-edits of the old Tales of Rebirth videos, Bosses 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, & 9 were re-editted.
For those of you who haven't seen all of the bosses up to this point, you can find videos of all of them (including 3, 5, & 10 - 15) in this playlist:

Keep in mind that when we recorded this fight, we had just returned to playing this game, and were still kind of in ToDR mode.
So if we sucked, that's why.

Anyway, this was a fun fight, Eephon is a good opponent.
And I love the music for this fight! It's tied for my favorite in ToR so far, with Geyorkias' battle theme being the other one.

This guy's got a powerful back-kick that can sometimes kill my characters in one hit, also it seems he uses Flash sometimes (Hey, that's my move! :P).
Anyone know if you can get Flash for your characters in this game too?

Well, enjoy the fight! It's been a long time coming. And I can't think of a better fight to start off my new ToR videos!
This one is awesome, and probably the longest ToR boss video I've done so far.

most excellent battle! its a shame i will never play this game , i heard its the best in the series.

[Jeffrey6978]

Thanks.

It is quite good (tied for my second favorite), however I would say Tales of Destiny (PS2) is better.

[mizunosuke]

what's your other second favorite tales?

[Jeffrey6978]

Tales of Destiny 2, even though I haven't finished it yet (I'm just after the point where Harold joins the party), I think the story is awesome, it has a great cast of characters including the really epic Judas, awesome battle system, some of my favorite music in the series, plus it doesn't hurt that it's the sequel to my favorite game. ^_^

Abyss used to be tied for my second favorite before I played Destiny 2, but now I would put it just below Destiny 2 and Rebirth.

You may already know but harder the mode, more Grades you will obtain. And I just learned that Eaphon and Shao is immune to the rush gage full. The best way to fight against them is use shining ray first and combo him.

God, I hate that back-kick.

[Flegan777]

Most likely because it's the only Tales game that has a direct storyline link to a previous game (Symphonia and Phantasia are linked I know, but it's not saying much).

Mwahahaha! Great fight and guess what, I shall be enjoying this, ToDR, and ToD2 in the near future! I found out I've got 16 dollars, and I'm going to be getting anywhere from 20-30 dollars at the end of the month, so that's enough to get magic swap/magic keys. Then in two-three months time, I'll get ToDR, and then for Christmas, I'll ask for ToR or ToD2.

[Krelian89]

Ah, okay. I guess I must play at my 2nd playthrough on Hard or Mania mode. :) Cool boss battle, btw!

[Jeffrey6978]

I'm guessing Hard Mode gives out more exp, which is why I'm at a higher level, there have also been a few times when I'd have to stop and train some in one place because I either ran out of both items and money, or the enemies were to strong to move on yet.
