Tales (series)/Headscratchers


 * Why did they choose Eternal Recurrence as Richter's Mystic Arte? Sure it's cool, and probably the one you remember the most, but it's strictly a counterattack! The coolness comes from him blocking and countering another Mystic Arte. Before you say that they had to make some changes to it to fit it into the fighting game's system, let me remind you that he also has Towering Inferno, a perfectly serviceable and cool-looking Mystic Arte that is not a counterattack.
 * Also, why is it that Richter's in the game, but Emil, the main character of his game, is nowhere to be found?
 * Possibly due to the fact that fan demand that practically turns him into the Tales Series' Second Coming of Jesus Christ said so. That and he is fastly becoming a one man Spot Light Stealing Squad with the references Namco keep shoehorning in but that may just be me.
