Hardcore Gamer: In line with the spirit of the season (rampant commercialism), Namco Bandai games is doing a flash sale for certain games in the Tales of series. Tales of Graces f for the PS3 and Tales of the Abyss for the 3DS are currently half-off on the Namco Bandai store. Never let it be said that Digital River are entirely horrible.
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.
Nelia writes: "RPG party members can easily make or break your RPG experience. We've thrown together a list of some of the best party members we can't help but love."
The Tales games may be less recognizable than the Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy games, but that doesn't mean that they aren't worth playing!
“Tales series is considered one of the top three Japanese RPG series next to RPG giants like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy.”
