Title: Tales of Graces
Post by: Bebpo on December 09, 2009, 11:12:13 PM
Game is awesome.  Everything good about Vesperia with the addition of a top-notch Tales battle system.

Only downside is the hairlines all look like jaggy messes & for some reason they decided to go with pre-recorded in-game at 480i cutscenes for certain ones and they look hella jaggy mess :X  Kinda sucks cause even on emu where main jaggies will disappear, those cutscenes are still gonna look like shit. 

Well that and a horrible cast.

Tales games are weird in that they either have mostly awesome casts (Vesperia, Abyss), or mostly horrible casts (Symphonia).

Do Tales games have a lot of kanji? They at least use furigana right (I think I remember furigana in the Vesperia PS3 demo)? I might be able to stumble my way through it by the time Bandai decides to not localize it.

I'm pretty interested in playing this actually. Too bad I don't like any of the character designs that I've seen so far  :-\

Nah, Tales games are easy.  If you can manage generic fantasy animu you can get through a Tales game.  They're easier than FF games.

Do you care about animu story?  No.
Do you have a hard drive?  Yes.

Sounds like the Fatal Frame IV situation.

Apparently it is a "recall-exchange" thing...you can swap your buggy copy for new non-buggy one.

i read about the game having a shitload of bugs,i also read they suspect the game is missing a character like in vesperia (there is a shot where it looks like a character is missing,like there are 3 character on the left and 2 on the right... and i think they also found a code for a DEVD character similiar to how they found a PAT code in the 360 version)

basicaly scamco doesn't care

The bugs are mainly new game+ stuff.  Some things are glitched and don't carry over like they should.  If you just play the game once, it's fine.  Kinda lolz that they can't just patch it.
