Battra92 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 So Bamco finally gives us another Tales game. Who will pick this up? I still have to play through Vesperia on the 360 and Symphonia 2 on the Wii and a couple of PS2 games. One of these years I'll get around to playing Graces but it's not a day 1 purchase for me.

Strangelove Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Ive never played a tales game so i dont get what the big deal is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra92 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 They're decent JRPGs but to be honest I don't get the super high fan devotion to them. Symphonia was my gateway drug to the world of JRPGs so I don't mind playing these now and again. Still, I wish I had the time to actually play them these days. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I'd like it, but I still have to play Vesperia first too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akuam4n Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I still want Vesperia here in NA for my PS3. Geez. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I never beat Vesperia. I got close but then shit happened in my life and I never gotten around to it. Great game but that's it. Nothing to write a novel about. I think I will get Graces sometime later since my PS3 RPG collect is pretty damn lacking. I got other games to get to first.

excel_excel Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 It would be awesome if the news of the Homebrew translation project for Graces made Namco make the decision to release Graces in the west Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slithy toves Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) I still want Vesperia here in NA for my PS3. Geez. this! i'd like to play it but i'm not getting a 360 for it. oh, yeah, and graces... maybe? i'd rather play vesperia first and i have a huge backlog so probably not high on my list unless i find it somewhere in my travels for a steal.

TheForgetfulBrain Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I might nab this if it's any good, story-wise. I've been looking for a good JRPG I haven't played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeniorPuffyPants Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Where only getting this game on ps3? i thought we where also getting it for the wii D: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Wikipedia says it's on the Wii as well, but only in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra92 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 The Wii version was so incredibly buggy that they had to do a recall. I don't think they want to even bother with it here in the States. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toshi Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I'll probably pick this up. Tales are fun games, but I'm not seeing why girls love it so much. I try to think it's the bishies and shipping, but yeah, idgi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excel_excel Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 The Wii version was so incredibly buggy that they had to do a recall. I don't think they want to even bother with it here in the States. They did send out a fixed version which would have been the version they'd used if they decided to release it. That said with the improved PS3 version coming out who would have bothered? (presuming they have a Wii and PS3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excel_excel Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 So here's an english trailer that was shown in december.....Christ it looks bad. And not in a game ported from Wii bad, the environments look like shit compared to Xenoblade. Graphics aren't everything especially in JRPG land but man, I expected something a little better than what Tales of Symphonia looked like. The character animation is ok but aside from that, this looks awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra92 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 You know, I totally forgot all about this game. It doesn't look horrible or anything but nothing I'm in a huge hurry to pick up, either. Maybe I'll pick it up at $20. :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Been playing some of the ƒ since release. And by "playing some of the ƒ" I mean I've been churning that powerful dynamic like a ravenous boar-man! For someone with a general distaste for action RPG's, it's treating me fairly well. After nearly twenty hours of game time, I can say I'm satisfied with paying full price for the game (though I have listed the pre-order DLC on eBay for a considerable slice at what I paid). The pacing is a nice high-and-low, the combat doesn't confuse my dopey hands, I feel like I want to explore, and the characters do their part to engage me with an acceptable level of proficiency. It could be better, but overall, I think the $59.99 is justified. That said, the voices are repulsive. Sickening, even. Sophie manages to blow gently on my lobe, sometimes with a nibble alongside that smoky teasing. The dude with the scimitarang is voiced by Jamieson Price (Nier), so he is acceptable. The rest are an ear-blight. When I say this, people often assume I'm a Japanophile. Well, they can suck it. Why do I prefer Japanese voices in JRPG's? Because localization companies don't/cannot afford to spend cash on high-tier voice actors. There is no shout for purity there. You get mid-tier at best. English voices as a thing are not disagreeable: English-derivative games often illustrate this. Unfortunately, Graces ƒ suffers because voices feel forced or inappropriate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toshi Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I just bought this and played a few hours, it's pretty decent. I wonder why I'm still playing a kid, but whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturnine Tenshi Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I guess I'm not the target demographic. My rantish thing from MSN: it tries to be serious, but i can't take it seriously. even when it tries, it always comes in with some comic relief to ruin it or asbel is all I MUST SAVE ALL MY FRIENDS and i'm like HEY I DIDN'T KNOW I BOUGHT A NARUTO GAME then there's that awkward shounen romance that isn't really romance but the two "romantic" characters sometimes blushing at one another and maybe a comment or two from the other characters and an entire dungeon of poop jokes. poop jokes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
