This exhibition... Wow this one went through so many technical difficulties it's not even funny. It's not unusual for large videos to get screwed up by rendering and encoding but this? Audio desyncs, quality drops, improper transitions, audio track jumping and more. In the end I had to spend about 2 extra hours resynching and repairing the broken audio with decent success but the overall quality took a hit sadly.
Anyways, about Arche. Man, she sure is one of the most changed characters in ToP through the years. Her spellpool changed drastically from SFC to PSX and in ToPX her animations became much faster and don't stop the flow of the game.
She's lost her instant death spells which were, frankly, quite useless and her Wall spell family to make way for more Earth and Wind based spells.
Even though Big Bang appeared first in Destiny as one of the two "super" spells (the other being Divine Power), no one could actually learn the spell and was instead one of the only three spells (Big Bang, Blue Dragon and Big) only usable through Aura Discs. In the PSX remake Arche gained the ability to use the spell, making her the first Tales character to be able to actually learn Big Bang in the series! This would later turn to be promoted to Mystic Arte status, making it her signature MA in crossovers.
Arche's spells would be the basis for most major playable spellcasters in the series so even if you played one or two Tales games you're bound to find lots of familiar spells in the vid.
Enjoy!
