THE TALES SERIES IS ON FIRE!!!!! Let's Talk about the 30th Anniversary Remaster project

[@Melodyflormaria]

This was a big surprise to seeing tales of graces f on nintendo direct, so happy the game is coming next year. This one was one of my favorite tales games and hoping other past tales will come to the recent consoles too😊

[@uppernimbus]

I'm so keen for Tales of Graces! You just know I'll be getting that Nintendo Switch version 😎

[@madkaiser4887]

We are so back for this!

[@mechaotakugamer]

@madkaiser4887 the next 2 years are gonna be lit. I truly hope we get all the unreleased japanese only Tales games

[@threeswordssama]

I haven't played any of the Tales games but it looks like there are plans to bring more to modern consoles. I'm interested in giving the series a try at some point for sure. I think there are only a couple of Tales games currently available on Switch though.

[@mechaotakugamer]

@threeswordssama yeah there's 2 on the switch and personally I'd recommend Vesperia Definitive edition over Symphonia remaster. Also love your username

[@threeswordssama]

@@mechaotakugamer Got it I'll see about snagging Vesperia then! Thanks!

[@mechaotakugamer]

@threeswordssama it's pretty cheap. Especially on ps4 but if you have a switch then you'll till get it for a good price. Plus it's runs pretty smoothly and looks beautiful. I played it on switch and ebay it

[@kermitwithamustache3885]

Tales of graces has one of the greatest battle systems ever made, so glad its on modern platforms now

[@mechaotakugamer]

@kermitwithamustache3885 Well, still gotta wait till Janaury, but yes, I'm super excited. They are starting with grace F as it's the one I've been wanting to play the most

[@xaviersejour9183]

I wish they started with the PlayStation 2 games On the PlayStation 3 I think you could buy Tales of Symphonia Chronicles plus Graces F on one disc. So. Why isn’t Symphonia 1 and 2 plus Graces in a three and one collection from modern systems ? I would have felt so much better if the remasters started with destiny 1,2 and abyss Oh. And Hearts. I liked Hearts on Vita. What I actually want is the DS version. Tales of Heart is forever gonna be weird Because it is 2 completely different games

[@mechaotakugamer]

@xaviersejour9183 I kinda wish that as well but I'll take whatever we can et as long as it's given proper care and not half assed like the Sympohina remaster from last year

[@Particle_Ghost]

The only thing I don't like about the Graces f Remaster is the grade system at the beginning of the game and the option to retry a battle after you failed, that is cheating. I heard you can choose not to use the grade system, but that is intended to be a reward for how well you do. I'm not sure if you can turn off the battle retry option. It removes the consequences of being destroyed in a dungeon and losing 30 minutes of ranking up if you didn't save. Technically this means you can't lose, I didn't ask for this kind of streamlining, there better be an option to turn it off.

[@mechaotakugamer]

@Particle_Ghost I hope so to cause thay will just ruin the experience, but on the other hand maybe someone will find an enjoyable use for it. I don't know who, but there's gotta be someone out there. Anyways I'm looking forward to finally playing Graces F

[@Particle_Ghost]

@@mechaotakugamer Yeah I'm actually in the minority where Graces f is definitely one of my favorite Tales games probably in the top 3. It's the first Tales game that I played on PlayStation 3, it was so good it caused me to go back and play all of the other games and the upcoming titles. I'm currently playing Symphonia for the first time, I'm about 25% into the game and I don't think it's aged as bad as some say. Arise is my least favorite and felt nothing like a Tales game. I 100% agree on Hearts R, I had it on the Vita and was blown away by how good it was, I think it's also the last game in the series to feature a world map. The aerial combat is also probably the best in the series.

[@mechaotakugamer]

@Particle_Ghost Arise is my least favorite as well, leveling up was too slow and enemy variants felt bland and boring and the final dungeon was a slogfest

[@Particle_Ghost]

​@@mechaotakugamerTales Studio was dissolved in 2011. Before that, you would primarily have Team Destiny and Team Symphonia that would alternate the projects. Destiny was know for the CC system like Hearts and Graces, while Team Symphonia is known for the TP system. Everything after that started to feel like an awkward mess and the combat kind of had an identity crisis because the studios could not act independently anymore. Arise was geared towards a western audience, but that practically removed the charm the series has always been known for.
