Thanks for all the info you have been posting Westlo.
Have always been a Tales fan but I have been a bit out of the loop as of late; That is, I am pretty much catching up with info right now. Really looking forward for more Tales goodness.

I'm surprised by how much content they're going to add on Tales of Graces F. That's literally a sequel in a game.
I'm open to that idea though, I really enjoyed the character quests in Legendia. It felt like I was revisiting them after the season finale. That being said...who here played Tales of Graces and enjoyed it? I haven't played it myself and none of my friends have, so I've been wondering what would you rate the game comparing them to other Tales of titles? Any breakthrough in storytelling and characters? Or just the usual? |

A distinction which means jack in Japan. As far as that audience is concerned, there's no real distinction between handhelds and consoles anymore and limiting things to the latter is cutting important sections of the audience out for no good reason. And if we're going the route of lists. . .just off the top of my head, portable RPGs either recently announced or those released in the last six months:
Tactics Ogre: Wheel of Fate Radiant Historia Golden Sun: Dark Dawn Ninokuni Pokemon Black/White Yuusha 30 Second (Half Minute Hero 2) Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 3 7th Dragon Etrian Odyssey III Fate/Extra Last Ranker Ys: The Oath in Felghana Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2 Knights in Nightmare PSP Inazuma Eleven 3 Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem And I know I'm forgetting a number of titles. That's just what I can be bothered to remember. Portable supremacy! Quote:

Not saying Namco is spotless but given how much piracy they face with their games, they simply can't take loss of sale to pirates

I agree that system-wise it has the best of the 3d tales so far, but the story was a little bit of a let down for me.
It would have been better if the cast overall had been a bit more memorable, with their themes being a little less heavy handed (how many times does the word "protect" get thrown around, even in the games theme song? 0_o). I swear, you could have made a drinking game out of it. Great game over all, if not for those last points. I still want to see how they expand on the story in the epilogue however. If its anything like Legendia's, I'm going to probably love it.

Does it hold a candle to Vesperia in terms of quality? I've heard a lot of great things about Vesperia too, about how Yuri is one of the most unique Tales protagonists ever. But I've played neither. I know a lot of people are going to disagree with me for good reasons, but I actually enjoyed Tales of Legendia's story the most. It had a really interesting setting, and the character quests really made me like the cast (except Shirley). |

The difference between ToV and ToG is i find that ToG is more streamlined/refinded, that is probably due to how the locations are connnected. I always find that the system used by Team Symphonia clumsy and conservative. The battle system is more fast paced and doesn't have the 2D feel that TotA and ToG have. Overall Team Destiny has managed what Team Symphonia didn't, creating a proper 3d title. One thing is ToG feels shorter, but then again you're not running around a giant empty world map. I'm not going to piss off any ToV fans, but Yuri is like, how a kid would pen a dark hero, he is pretty predictable and generic. But than again same applies to Asbel and all the main characters in the tales series. But both and all tales titles are worth playing. If you live in the west get ToV on the 360, you could be able to get it for used for pennies now. The PS3 is not really worth it, in my opinion. It was technically and visually inferior, but had more content/story. |

The battle system is unique in that finds ways to largely retain the fast paced and fairly linear battle style that the 2D games were famous for, while changing things up to 3D.
They accomplished this by incorporating the side-step mechanic to dodge enemy assaults and making free run all by useless compared to its Vesperia and Abyss counterparts (no more walking out of spell range). The style shift system was a fun new mechanic that acted in a similar way to action games "dial-a-combo" where depending on what moves you linked to each other the next set of available moves would be decided. Made for a fun fast-paced system that largely eliminated "normal" attacks. Lastly, the CC system that eliminates TP has probably been (formerly known as) Team Destiny's greatest addition to the formula IMO. So much fun, and no need to purchase TP items again Story-wise, I liked most of the cast, but they were fairly standard for the most part, with only Pascal standing out for me (the ditz and genius combined, kinda felt like Harold from Destiny 2 and Norma from Legendia in one character). And it wouldn't have bothered me as much, like I said, if not for the heavy-handed delivery of their main theme. At least it wasn't racism this time ^_^;; However, if the characters are fleshed out in the epilogue like Legendia's cast I may change my mind. Still overall one of the better home console Tales in the past few years IMO. Glad they are toning down the flood of titles however. They all start to blend together. I think Graces and Hearts are the only ones I actually enjoyed in the long run :/

I don't think the early trailer for ToG F was posted here yet:
Mixed feelings about this. (in a good way) The trailer seems to be more focused on the epilogue than the main story. (unless the main story is being largely changed, which I doubt) You can definitely see a big difference in graphic level, but it looks like we might be in for a sad story in the epilogue.

Not sure what to think about the future of HD gaming, considering how good Basara 3 sold on the ps3, also using the Wii as base. But Wii titles running at a higher resolution and 60fps is good enought for me, also save developers a lot of money. |
