Some clarifications:
Today in video = Sat Jan 13

You can change lock-on target by using R-stick left/right, though its still finicky as it doesn't cycle through all targets(depends on who's close, who's in your sight).

I stated the MA in later Tales games reposition the char/boss, and that this game doesn't do that. Relink actually does reposition the char(during the char's "cut-in") but everything else is still in real-time.

Didn't mention anything about graphics or music; Music is excellent; they have Tsutomu Narita doing most tracks and if the mobile game and GBVS Rising is to be considered, the soundtrack will be phenomenal. Graphics are less impressive than expected, but nothing so bad it detracts from the experience.

Not the best job during the demo story's playthrough, this was my 2nd foray through it and takes a different mindset when attacking compared to soloing bosses. Was not familiar with the boss's attacks either =0(.

Tales of Symphonia 2: Windmaster Prime [Presea]

$Tales of Xillia 2: Muzet 2 - Leia solo From Milla Chapter 6. First off, a compilation of a fraction of losses http://youtu.be/F4o8FeM268M Compared to the easy Maxwell, Muzet 2 is easily one of the most difficult boss battles in the game for me. This is because she has the Julius AI; sidesteps after attacks and initiates their own attack after doing so. The biggest difference is that Muzet 2 has Iron Stance. This means I need to use Eagles Rage or Soulstoke Spin to start a combo, however, these artes have a bit of startup before the IS break happens, and that leaves a small window in which I am open. Muzet starts the battle using random normals and 3 of The Four(Ef/Un/Syl) at about a 60:40 ratio. Attacking her during her normals will more than likely cause her to sidestep and attack you from the back. Attacking her before her attacks either get stopped by her L1+X(into-the-air) attack, or one of the Four stopping you dead in your tracks. When any of the Four are used, on startup, it causes an area-wide hit where they materialize. Sylph is particularly nasty. Even if I step, I still got hit by Sylphs materialization, despite appearing to be out of its range. This puts me in a defensive position where I have to wait for her to attack. Attacking her after I dodge her Efreet and Undine summons were the most opportune times to get a combo going. After 50%HP, she stops using the Four(until shes in OVL) and sticks to normal attacks and an occasional Elemental Shot. She is even more dangerous just using normals, because if I attack at the wrong time, she will sidestep before I break her IS, causing me to miss and leaving me completely open. Honestly, I got lucky twice here, esp when she used Gnome after the OVL and the missed ER before that(pretty anxious since I missed D0=). Of course, the annoyances from the first battle apply; namely her wide-encompassing Shock Sphere counter and her Emergency Warp. She usually likes following EW with one of the Four, so it cant be taken advantaged of like the first battle(by using ER to break her IS where she warps to). Fortunately, I got the chance to take advantage of making her use Shock Sphere while I was distanced from her, as that gives me a free combo(long as 2-sec recovery rule is in effect). Minor note; I did alter my save to take out the 2x dmg grade shop option(i.e. only doing 1x dmg here) for the sake of slightly elongating the battle. I do this for the final battles as well. No other alterations in terms of stats, skills, equipment, etc have been modified for Leia in this and the final battles.$
