I LOVE TALES OF SYMPHONIA!!! Me and my friend 2-player'd it lol. Im lvl ninja so i can dual wield wands as smn/nin when farming (like sheena). Anyway yea it looks like 50% Yggdrasil. But the way hes floating that Yggdrasil ^^b

Besides ToS i was wondering why were the avatars protocrystals near Mini-Yggdrasil? Is he threatning to harm my avatars?! ; ; Im not that far in CoP only on the Phomuina on chapter 2.

XD I play ToS wth my brother and was reading this, he says," Oooo I can't wait to fight Yggdrasil." I'm like ,"We did right before we got into Tethealla." and he's like,"Hmmmm, OH! THE SHIM!"

Not very hard at all

Prishe and Selt'heus make this fight almost too easy. Our setup was 74PLD/WAR, 73BLM/WHM, 75WHM/BLM, 75SAM/THF, 75DRG/WAR, 75DRK/THF as well as Prishe MNK+WHM and Selt'heus. Prishe used Hundred Fists during the second form, but never used Benediction. Selt'heus did not 2hr at all but everyone says he uses an ability called Redemption which gives you full HP, MP and TP.

First form we just went in and roughed Promathia up until he went into his second form. The second form I kited around the big circle which for all intensive purposes made the melees useless unless he stopped to cast a spell or use an ability (often enough for them to be very useful during the fight). BLM did the BLM thing and nuked, WHM did the WHM thing and cured. Selt'heus's stun ability seemed as more of a hinderence in this fight as it would cause me to run out of aggro range if I wasn't careful....and this aided in the death of our DRK and BLM with about 20% remaining.

Even after losing that much in the way of DD, we were still able to win with Sel'heus stunning him and our SAM getting off a couple WS to finisn the fight.

I was hoping he would look at least a little like his statue. But he's a lumorian kinda thing. WAIT! What does that make all the other lumorians? Are you killing angels for their organs!?
RE: damnit
# Aug 08 2005 at 11:49 AM Rating: Decent
Altana is the Dawn Goddess, Promathia is the Twilight God.. therefore not killing "Angels" for their organs, killing Devilspawn..

only demons/devils can create demon/devil-spawn

as you've already pointed out, Promathia is a god. so yes, the other aerans and luminians are angels, just of a different type than any that would be born from Altana
Promathia = Xenogears

Is it just me or does Promathia have an uncanny resemblance to "Xenogears"; Fei's Last Gear in "Xenogears"?

You can't disagree that the 6 wings, the body shape, and the holo like circle on his back doesn't match that of the Xenogear Mech. <.<;;

First thing I thought when I saw that pic: whoa, right outta Xenogears. Looks similar to both Xenogears (Fei's omnigear) and the Seraphs that defended Merkavah.

Except that Prishe isn't useless. =P

No, seriously, Prishe is such an awesome NPC. Like an uber MNK/WHM. She uses WSes that can't be used currently, items that can't be used currently, pretty damn good physical damage, and spells like Banish/ga III and Cure V. Not to mention 2hrs. I know that she can use Hundred Fists, but I heard Benediction as well.

Also, Selt'heus fights alongside you as well. His main attacks include an ability to stun Promathia for a decent amount of time and an ability which gives everyone 300% TP and something else I believe.

This guy is so easy We was doing other missions as RDM RDM WHM BRD WAR NIN - i had the intention to change to rng before we did this. but...

Well we thought "while we are here for the CS why not try it?" so we did and we won!

A little bad that such a bad set up can win but it can, its easy!

oh and yea <3 the cs - anyone know where i can rewatch it? -

the Goblin Footprint in the Empyreal Paradox, right next to the elevator, will let you watch it again. Trade a crystal to it. "Dawn" has multiple parts to watch.

I would assume the nearest goblin footprint would be the place to rewatch it, wherever that is.

Well I'm going to try to spoil as little as possible, but this is indeed Promathia, the final boss of the CoP storyline. :P Fought in a BC with 6 members, uncapped, in a zone called Empyreal Paradox, which is inside the Garden of Ru'Hmet. It was a very very fun fight. :) But we took it on our first try. Lots of great cutscenes involved, and possibly THE best battle music in the entire game.

Go get working on your CoP missions!
hmmm

And a kick @ss pic of him 2
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bigrussta/potcop02promathia.jpg

And he is apart of the Aern Family. . . Why not put him down as apart of a god family. Or am I missing something? Y not celestial type. Or how about "God of Twilight." He is one, and there are no promathianas out their to make a family i would say.

I vote God of Twilight ^_^

damn
# Aug 07 2005 at 12:17 AM Rating: Decent
He looks badass but also he looks tough to beat. Is there a quest to fight him or can you fight him and not do a quest. I'm sure the cutscene would be the coolest one.
