Hanso4051d ago

me too! Will be my 3 tales game cant wait
FF was my fav jrpg series but not anymore :)
After Graces F im officially a tales of fan

Snookies124051d ago (Edited 4051d ago )

Same here, Graces F turned me into a Tales fan, I'd never really given the other games a chance until that one. Definitely like the Tales series better than FF these days as well. (Despite the fact that I hailed Final Fantasy as my favorite series ever last generation.) They just can't seem to produce the same quality of work these days.

@Snookies12 and @Hanso graces f was also my first tales game as well and i am currently playing through vesperia at the moment and i am planning on picking abyss for the 3DS soon along with fire emblem and tales is right up there with persona for my favorite JRPG series

Number-Nine4051d ago

do the tales game connect to each other or are they all separate (ie final fantasy)

CrescentFang4051d ago

They have nothing to do with each other. Except for obvious ones like Xillia and Xillia 2

animegamingnerd4051d ago

no it just like final fantasy on how each game is a different world with a different cast of characters but a couple tales games like xilla and symphony have gotten a sequel

SOD_Delta4051d ago

I'll be getting Tales of Graces F on PSN for free in April. Thanks to the spend 50$ get 10$ back promotion.

Rockefellow4051d ago

ScytheX34051d ago

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

The Tales Of series are some of the best RPGs I've ever played, and the characters are a big reason for that. I don't think I played a single game in the series that I didn't enjoy. Rest in peace.

Snookies1236d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Damn, that sucks to hear... His designs were always wonderful.

H936d ago

RIP, sheade some great designs, man it's one after the other this year

FinalFantasyFanatic35d ago

We're 3 months into the year and I feel like we're taking nothing but L's.

autobotdan36d ago

Wow she was the character designer for Tales of Destiny one of my favorites of all time =(

scorpio_204936d ago

I love the Tales games. Phantasia will always be my favorite. Ironically I felt like as the series progressed the character design became too “anime cliche.”

Did Tales of Xillia Write a Smarter Thanos?

There's a surprising amount of overlap between Marvel's Mad Titan and a lesser-known Tales villains -- but which is the better baddie?
