[@oneupdawg]

Damn man. Dynasty Warriors Origins, Freedom Wars Remastered and now Tales of Graces f? This year is starting off strong for JRPG fans!

[@allthatishere]

I didn't Freedom Wars was getting a remaster. I'm surprised people even remember it, tbh. Is there a date for it?

[@maroXUprising]

⁠@@allthatishereit’s already available for all current platforms.

[@CosmicVoid_119]

Freedom wars is trash

[@saibarathiravi2137]

Wow 9.5, Glad to they did tales of grace f remastered good. hoping for tales of abyss remaster probably in future.

[@MegaIata]

bro same, i got the 3ds version but man hd would do wonders

[@saibarathiravi2137]

@@MegaIata Absolutely

[@timothyli-dark_smilez6410]

YES

[@calvinmatthews1527]

It's insane how no other game in this series has even come close to Graces in terms of gameplay/customization. Such was the magic of Hideo Baba I guess. Seriously, could anyone imagine if modern Tales games got this kind of gameplay? Either way, you convinced me. This is going on my list. Great review man.

[@land_walker]

Technically we do have a more modern Tales game that has more gameplay and customization than Graces, Zestiria. It's made by the same team as Graces, but is universally hated for being too complex in combat and with its overly complex fusing/ability system.

[@Swillo]

That’s not true at all lol. Solid game though

[@land_walker]

@Swillo I disagree, so does most of the Tales fan base. I just finished Tales of Zesty two days ago. Everything I said is true. You can still like it, but nothing I said was false. I do like Zesty 's characters, except Rose and Denzel, and the overall story was good. Zesty 's post credit scene was fantastic. Zesty's lore and writing were both great. But all of the games systems were too complex. I have played Tales of Zestiria, Vespiria, Phantasia - both the SNES & psx versions, Symphonia, Abyss, Xillia, Grace F, Eternia, and Arise. I am currently playing Beseria now.

[@NoctTap]

​@@land_walkerZestiria got awful gameplay and bore me to the dead, don't ever compare them! 😅 Lol

[@land_walker]

@@NoctTap That was kind of my point. The same team that made Grace did make Zesty. It is a modern Tales game that is more complex than Graces. Sometimes you get what you ask for, but then you find out you don't actually want it at all.

[@jackiespaceman]

One thing I love about noisy pixel reviews is how the reviewers always use the silliest alt costumes in jrpgs

[@NoisyPixelNews]

We’re good for that 😅

[@Zuntenshi]

Amazing to see Bandai learned after Symphonia Remaster disaster. More in-house remasters! Excited to see whats up next!

[@romanticwander]

The fact you start this game as young kids and go into young adults remind me heavily of the first Golden Sun game. May not seem like much but it really does move the story along.

[@kidrobot.]

"the fact" lol

[@MelodySnowdream]

Golden sun was an amazing game on gameboy advance😊. Hoping one day theyll remaster the wonderful game since really miss playing it.

[@ben_sisko2149]

The battle system in this game was such a breath of fresh air for the franchise. Until then, you could very easily just follow the old too familiar pattern of: normal attack + normal attack + normal attack + art. Rense and repeat until the end of the game. The idea of only using arts was phenomenal. PS: I just disovered Sophie is voiced by Kana Hanazawa in Japanese. I think I'll use that VO this time around.

[@PiuHero]

1:12 cutest skits in the entire Tales of series. I love Sophie's character growth and Pascal's carefree character. I played this in Japanese VA and it's like watching an anime 😻

[@ZeroHayabusa]

I really hope Tales of Destiny Director's Cut or Tales of Rebirth is next in the Remastered project.

[@zennvirus7980]

Tales of Destiny duology and Tales of Rebirth... ah, those hard to get games. Yes please.

[@RazorBladezX]

Rebirth finally got a 100% Eng translation patch I’ve been playing it, it’s so good

[@bulat9331]

Not to rain on your parade but I'm pretty sure we're likely to see Xillia 1 and 2 and Abyss before that

[@ZeroHayabusa]

@@bulat9331 Realistically I'm 100 % expecting Xillia to be next considering those leaks awhile back, and I wouldn't mind the Xillia games or Abyss since I love those games, but I'm still hoping for Destiny Director's Cut or Rebirth since I've wanted to play them for so long. If the Remastered Project doesn't end up officially bringing those games to the west then I'll play the fan translations but an official release would be a dream come true.

[@zennvirus7980]

@@bulat9331 More than likely, but fingers crossed we get to Abyss and Rebirth eventually.

[@Zeroninja-j5c]

Yes I loved the ps3 tales games. Hopefully xillia 1 and 2 come to modern consoles.

[@ransome5610]

I think Xillia 1 is guaranteed. Hopefully Xillia 2 won’t be forgotten. Prefer it more then 1 actually

[@Zeroninja-j5c]

@ yes 🙌 same here. It was so emotional to me.

[@Oag1992]

I can’t wait to play this again. Hands down one of the best battle systems in the series and I love the characters deeply. I’m still shocked we’re getting a remaster but better late then never.

[@The_Bi-polar_Express]

It's downloaded to my console already, just waiting for Friday :)

[@MelodySnowdream]

Im so happy the game is coming out in two days😊 and was surprised of the tales of graces f announcement on the direct last year now its getting really close to playing the wonderful game😊

[@Zuhri69]

Best combat in Tales. It’s stupidly smooth.

[@gregwilliams4926]

Wow they're still doing the bring back the old VAs again like the Versperia remaster. That's pretty cool. I just hope we get to Xillia, its my favorite out of every game. Specifically 1 because of the 2 route story mode. My PS3 died and I started on Jude's side and fought the sea monster while Milia was bounded by Presa.

[@Evanz111]

Been SO excited for this one! Seems perfect for the steam deck. Every time I play it I enjoy it more, yet alone with all the DLC included this time!

[@BlazetheCat130]

My second personal favorite tales game! I cannot wait to replay this again, tomorrow! The only thing I'm sad and disappointed about is that they removed some of my favorite DLC costumes, because of licensing issues.. (Rest in Peace, Code Geass and Miku Outfit). Oh well, not a huge loss, but I'm still going to miss them, regardless.

[@ben_sisko2149]

Tip: grab all the toggable perks you can when you start a new game. They are too much of perk, but they will be a godsend during the post-game. When you've been playing for 90 hours being able to grind levels easy is wonderful 👍🏻

[@thatguyshaq7053]

Graces was my intro to the Tales series and I absolutely loved it back on Ps3. Definitely excited to revisit this one.

[@Phenom0100]

Tales of Graces F is the game that got me into the Tales series!

[@DeBolttheBear]

Awesome review. Loved Graces f, will be nice to go back in again after so long.

[@Phenom0100]

I can't wait for a remaster for the Tales of Xillia games!

[@GamingPalOllieMK]

Glad you enjoyed it, I have very fond memories of Graces F from the PS3 days but back then it just wasn't as well liked if I remember well. I loved it tho. VERY good review and I agree with the score :)

[@OtterloopB]

I used to hate this game purely because of Pascal. I thought she was the most insufferable character I'd ever met in an RPG... ... until Sea of Stars. Where I met Garl. Garl took the crown as the most insufferable RPG character ever. Now I feel I owe Pascal an apology and to give Tales of Graces f a second chance.

[@TheHeartThatRunsCold]

I think I dodged a bullet on that one playing in Japanese.

[@Evanz111]

Was Garp that bad? :’)

[@DieselJT]

Amazing Tales game! Will be picking up my physical copy the day it comes out!

[@SousukeAsuka]

The return of the Malik Beam!

[@TheElusiveRobertDenby]

Hope the sales of this get a ps1/2 Tales collection on tap

[@emeraldo]

My favorite Tales game. Thanks for the review!

[@Xboxcampking334]

Have to wait till i get paid next week but i will be playing

[@julien8236]

Day 1 buy for me , this has been my fav Tales of game after the OG Phantasia.... plus any scn with Pascal in it was hilarious

[@MithosDagon]

Graces F combat is GOAT’ed

[@gigasupportmain]

I second this!

[@GamingG4276]

How's the difficulty? I never played the OG but I heard it was pretty tough. Is the remaster easier?

[@gigasupportmain]

I'd say it's hard but not too hard and actually fair. BUT you can tune it with Grade Shop and Encounter toggle.

[@Kindi001]

what make me remember the most of this game yet never play it is the Opening white whishes, so good at that time. just like Karma in tales of abyss

[@godmode3611]

It is indeed one of the best in the series. The story, worlds, combat and level up system are addictive. I think only Tales of Vesperia beats it for me. But I am not even sure. I will play this remaster an decide.

[@GrimReaper86107]

Im a huge Tales of fan but im gonna wait for a sale for graces remastered. I can see it going on sale very soon after release date

[@knox7945]

Wait, they replace Laura Bailey's voice entirely? Or some section?

[@megaspacewaffles]

Only the new skits so like 5 minutes of dialogue

[@In2theVoid]

I have played Tales of Arise and Tales of Vesperia. How does this one rank among those ones? I am getting this on Friday! Looking forward to this!

[@The_Bi-polar_Express]

This is my favorite Tales game , followed by Arise, then Xillia

[@In2theVoid]

@ Cool thanks for the reply!

[@ruaghs7123]

in terms of battle system? Arguably one of the best of all tales of games, Arise's gameplay is a derivation of this one's

[@In2theVoid]

@ Yeah, I heard this has a great battle system. One of the main reasons I plan to pick it up.

[@Emulcool]

it's the most fun a battle system can be , the skits are top -tier , the characters are high tier , It's in everyone top 3 list for a reason.

[@MrWhiteProductions]

Tales of the abyss was my favorite out of the whole franchise. Is this one similar to it?

[@alexiere]

It's good, but not awesome like Tales of Abyss. It is waaaaay better than Tales of Legendia.

[@Kesy03]

I would highly recommend it. I've played a majority of the Tales games and this is one of my favorites. I pre ordered this version and plan to play it after the games I'm playing now

@@MrWhiteProductions i hope you enjoy it! I love the battle system and the story. Yes, ps5 version will definitely be better

Gameplay wise, Graces blows Abyss out the water (you can do a lot straight out the gate, and it only ramps from there).

[@PadreMarceloR]

I will play it on xbox !

[@Metalhawk182]

Awesome game. I finished it in 2021

But is it fast pace combat then?

[@feliciavale4279]

Yeah I had quite a bit of fun with graces on ps3, will probably pick it up on sale at some point.

[@rcmg4013]

Polarizing game. Most characters' personalities and development are bland AF but character design and arts are so cool and stylish. Boring story, but it was the most fun gameplay I had in the franchise. At the end of the day, this is my favorite tales coz gameplay is what matters most.

[@MrBud85]

9/10

[@MrBud85]

9.5 even better

[@FuIIDiveVR]

30fps

[@TheBatmanMan1]

I’ve been a long time fan of the tales series ever since Symphonia on the GameCube. I’ve been pretty disappointed in the last handful of entries (starting with Zestiria in the PS4 era). Much to my surprise, instead of being a series redeemer like so many described it, Tales of Arise became the first tales game I’ve ever actively disliked (as opposed to just being a little let down or indifferent). I swear, I had to scrape and claw to the end of that game, I was so ready for it to just be over… I’m so excited for this game though, as it’s a full return to the era I loved. Graces and Abyss have always been neck and neck for my all time favorite tales game - so I absolutely can’t wait to play this one, and I’ve got my fingers crossed for an Abyss remaster coming up before too long.

[@kotaindah2]

This best bandai game after several failure. Hope bandai remaster old tales game and make new digimon game this year

Probably the worst game in the series when it comes to story and characters, but the gameplay is one of the best. I hope they remaster or even remake Abyss next.

[@zennvirus7980]

Imo, my favorite Tales games are: 1. Abyss 2. Vesperia 3. Graces 4. Eternia 5. Symphonia. With Graces now remastered, all we need is Tales of the Abyss and Eternia remastered to have the best of the series available for posterity. Now lets all tie up Pascal and give her to her Amarcian friends to they can give her a bath.
