Yeah, that's pretty much what Raikiri means, and that is an awesome tip on that one, also a good lesser used colour.

My Zanpacto would be a pair of shortswords similar to that flower-robe wearing captain guy.

Name of Harounami (surging wave)

Shinkai would see the blades change into water, one would becoma a sharp edged shield, the other an axe that could shift to a few other forms.

Bankai would see them combine, creating a spear with a water blade, ice handle and vaporous tassel just below the blade, it could do a bit of shifting of it's form for a few techniques (e.g a slicing water shockwave) but it's real power would be to summon and control floodwaters, creating the surging wave it's named for.

Ah, bankai for for me... i would have at least 6 swords made entirely of electricity that move around me in a set peremeter and can be launcher at enemies like missiles. I've played too many games where the end boss has something similiar to that. Example: Final Fantasy 12: Vayne's second to final form. Tales of the World Radiant Mythology: Widdershin can summon swords to strike you or cluster around you then strike, and he can summon a huge ass sword to strike you down. After you get him to half health (you'll know when he drops teh big sword on you) he'll be surrounded by 6 or so swords and will rush you with them spinning around him. He's a pretty cool boss but that big sword attack tends to wipe out your entire party.

Sounds like a good Bankai to have.

What would your "Call" be?

Mine would "drown them" for Shinkai and "come forth from the depths: Dai Harounami"

"Crack" would be for the Shinkai and "come forth divine light(ning): Raikiri"

I sorta stole the "come forth divine light(ning)" from a spell a character from one of my favorite games has. Indignation ftw!

Yeah... I wish I still had my copy of the game... dammit, I've forgotten what it's called now, I still remember Daos though... or was it Dhaos?

Agh, memory failure, files corrupted.

Indignation has been passed through different Tales of games. The one i'm thinking of is Jade's Indignation from Tales of the Abyss. There's also Morrison's Indignation (i think that's right) from Tales of Phantasia and there's someone in Tales of Symphonia that can use Indignation.

I mainly love the 'chant' that comes before the attack. "I who stand in the full light of the heavens command thee who open the gates of hell. Come forth divine lightning. THIS ENDS NOW! Indignation!!"

One of my favorite 'hi ougies' (Mystic Artes) from Tales of the Abyss, my second favorite would by Luke's Los Fon Drive and third would be Guy's second mystic arte. -is a tales of the abyss junkie-

I only had tles of Phantasia for the GBA... waht platforms are the others on?

lets see....

Tales of the Abyss = Playstation 2
Tales of Legendia = Playstation 2
Tales of the World Radiant Mythology = PSP
Tales of the World Radiant Mythology 2 (depending if it makes it to the US) = PSP
Tales of Symphonia = Game Cube (i believe)

and i'm not sure what system "Tales of Innocence" is from and i'm sure i forgot a few of the Tales of games. Ooh wait I forgot the sequal to Tales of Symphonia but it went under a different name instead of "Tales of Symphonia 2" ... i think. I'm really rusty. =<

Oh and Tales of Phantasia was on one of the older Nintendo systems as well as the GBA (i have the GBA version and an emulator version for the Nintendo system.)

It would have been the snes, based on the complexity of the game engine and the porting to the GBA.

Kind of annoying that the other games are for systems I don't have...

I actually own 4 of the games i've mentioned. Tales of the Abyss (best story in my opinion), Tales of Legendia, Tales of the World Radiant Mythology, and Tales of Phantasia.

Oh and i forgot Tales of Vesperia which is for the 360.

A good series I take it?

I may have to get a PSP if I keep missing out on decent RPGs like this...

Tales of teh World Radiant Mythology includes characters from the majority of the series i just named. like Luke and Tear from Tales of teh Abyss, Senel from Tales of Legendia, Arche and Chester from Tales of Phantasia. There's more but i can't recall the exact games they came from.

But i think you may like Tales of the World Radiant Mythology, you can create your own character, choose one of 4 starting classes and unlock more as you go. So far in my opinion the Magic Knight class is the BEST. Its Mystic Arte is probably my favorite so far. I think i had to order my copy online since none of the stores around me sold it. =< and its sequal Radiant Mythology 2 may never make it to the US.

And I live in australia where even less makes it down...

That's it! I'm seriously considering purchaing a PSP when I go to chadstone tomorrow...

Ah, just be warned there's not many good games for the PSP unless your soley interested in reported RPGs and stratedgy games. I would recommend Monster Hunters United (or whatever it is) but I haven't played it to know what to say or complain about.

But of the games I have for the PSP i donot regret buying Final Fantasy Crisis Core, Tales of the World Radiant Mythology, or Starwars the Force Unleashed. All three are great games.

RPG games are all I play...

Ah, well you'll like played games like Final Fantasy War of Lions, Final Fantasy 1 & 2, Final Fantasy Dissidia, Final Fantasy Crisis Core, Tales of the World Radiant Mythology and other assorted RPGs.

I bought a PSP yesterday... I haaaaaate sony for not including a memory card in the $300 bundle, not I have to wait until the weekend to play Dissidia... can't find radient mythology in EB either...

And what's this war of lions?

Yeah i know i hated that little fact when i bought my darth vader one. And my box said it included a memory card. =<

Not entirely sure since i never played it so i assume its a non canon final fantasy game or something.

Also Radiant Mythology is made by (i believe) by Namco Bandia. Since that is the logo i've seen on the majority of the Tales of games i've played. Not sure how common it is to find at a used game store but most of the GameStops i've been in have several copies of most of the tales of games with exception to the game cube, SNES, and GBA versions because they nolonger carry those games or systems. >.> Which seriously sucks.

Yeah, something else that sucks, although this is more to dowith Dissidia itself, is that you can't jump in and play as the bad guys straight off.

I want to fight as Kefka dammit...

Yeah, i've heard. I think you have to complete each hero's story to unlock their villian. I'd love to play the game especially if it means playing as Sephiroth or Jecht.

I'm less familiar with some of the villains... and the results of turning some of the more generic heros into brawlers is pretty amusing...

Nonetheless, I will now make Terra's story my priority.

Ok. I wouldn't mind trying to get to Kefka or even Jecht or Sephiroths story.... were i got ever get Dissidia.

Which one's jecht again?

I'm woefully out of the loop on the later FF games so a lot of the good and bad guys are unfamiliar to me...

Jecht is Tidus's father (the guy with the blue sword) Jecht has a large odd shaped sword. He's pretty cool but he is such a drunkard when you see flashbacks of him in the game.

I've found out how you unlock all the bad guys though, you buy them (and other things) using PP aqquired by battling.

ah. I think there is also a quiz in dissidia but i dunno.
