I'd be fine with Roman losing both at WM, but I personally think Roman should keep the Universal title (by itself after splitting the belts) for a bit longer.

Cody agrees, and they set up a Triple Threat 2 falls match. First fall for one belt, second for another. Cody wins the WWE Belt, Sami the Universal. Hell, have them each pin the other for the title so Roman doesn't even get pinned to lose both belts. Roman needs to be pinned clean to lose the titles or there's no point. We have a 2 night Wrestlemania, so make use of it. Night 1, Roman vs. Sami for the Universal title, Roman retains. Night 2, Roman vs. Cody for the WWE title, Cody wins. Roman blames the loss on Sami weakening him the previous night and more stuff with the Bloodline falling apart. They continue to feud, and Sami eventually takes the Universal title from Roman at Summerslam. No screwy finishes, no triple threat shenanigans, none of that. Just two newly made main event stars, and then Roman takes some much needed time off. --- https://i.imgur.com/PmF1p9q.jpg |

My potential ideas would be Alear to Great Knight, Wyvern Knight, or Wolf Knight (all of them give more movement plus a second weapon type) or Jade to Great Knight. I wouldn't recommend using any second seals on your unpromoted characters that you mentioned. My army right now is My only suggestion for a replacement would be to consider swapping Alfred for Alcryst if he's not too underleveled. You have two other better lance users already, and it's helpful to have at least one bow user to deal with flying enemies. Plus (I mentioned this earlier) Leif's ring is perfect for archers. --- https://i.imgur.com/PmF1p9q.jpg |

Anyone who actually wants to to use Leif should never actually have a Bond conversation with him that way you only have access to the Killer Axe, his best weapon. The first conversation at bond level 5 is fine. It's the second one at bond level 10 that gives another (bad) weapon and messes with the weapon priority, and that's the one you shouldn't watch for the character that's actually going to be using Leif in battle. --- https://i.imgur.com/PmF1p9q.jpg |

Now who to give Tiki to and which bracelet to go after next big boobs, the ax guy or the edgy boi Glad to hear you finally cleared it! For the other three, I did Hector, then Soren, then Camilla. That being said, Hector will be really difficult if your magic attackers aren't good enough. If you feel like you need to level your mages more or if you think Soren's magic and Camilla's Bolt Axe will be useful for dealing with Hector, save him for last. BigG777 posted... I know Leif is considered the worst emblem but seriously how does quadruple hit work? Thing does like 0 damage most of the time. Lief's best use is letting an archer attack with bows during the player phase but still counterattack with something else during the enemy phase. That and unlocking weapon proficiencies, since he gives all of them except tomes and arts. --- https://i.imgur.com/PmF1p9q.jpg |

How many fucking times has the XFL come back lol This is technically the third incarnation. There was Vince's original in 2001 that just tried to be WWE but football and then folded after one season, the 2020 reboot that tried to be more like real football (but with a few unique rule changes and broadcast stuff) that was actually doing pretty well before it got shut down by the pandemic, and now this 2023 re-reboot after Vince was ready to give up on it but The Rock and his group bought it and saved it. Ryven posted... Its good that they gave St Louis a team. Feel bad for ex-Rams fans. Battlehawks games were wild last year because fans were so hyped to have football back. Considering the anger towards the Rams and Kroenke has probably gone down a bit over time (plus a good chunk of former Rams fans became Chiefs fans and have enjoyed their success) I don't know if that same level of hype will be there this time. But there's still some hype, and hopefully the league and the Battlehawks do good this year. --- https://i.imgur.com/PmF1p9q.jpg |

Granted, it's a big benefit, but whether it's worth not having that extra content is up for debate. yusiko posted... isnt it just a port of the ps2 version like all other versions of symphonia? Technically yes, but it's actually worse in just about every way. There's a bunch of bugs and technical issues in the Switch version, and the PS4 version isn't as bad but still has a few problems.

There are 18 total recruitable female characters and 14 team slots for the late-game chapters, so that means 4 girls get benched.

| Calwings 02/17/23 2:17:38 PM #33 | https://www.reddit.com/r/tales/comments/114idrr/psa_symphonia_remastered_and_all_the_other/ The original Gamecube version is the only version with 60fps and Bandai Namco might have lost the source code for it, so they have to use the PS2 30fps version as a base for all future ports of the game. The problem is, the game engine from that version is apparently directly tied to the game's fps, to the point where trying to change it from 30 to 60 would completely break the game. I don't think anything short of completely rebuilding the game from the ground up would ever get us a full ToS remake with 60fps, but at that point, BN would rather put those resources into a brand new Tales game instead of going through all of that trouble for a remake. The 30fps thing is unfortunately an issue that will likely never be fixed. That being said, this doesn't excuse the numerous other issues that this release is facing. Shitty loading times, fps drops below the standard 30, screen transitions missing, menus and text being messed up, a character being loaded with the wrong model too early that accidentally spoils something major later on... it's actually unbelievable how awful this port is. It's objectively the worst version of the game that's ever been released. --- https://i.imgur.com/PmF1p9q.jpg |
