It brings with it an enhanced version of the well-known live action battle system that plays more like a fighting game rather than a traditional jrpg. The original Tales of Grace s was only available in Japan and on the Wii but PS3 owners are now getting a shot at the game with a plethora of new content. If this game does well, we will hopefully see the recently released in Japan— and excellently reviewed— Tales of Xillia come out here as well.
The Bonds of Friendship Are Eternal. Tales of Graces f combines lush animated graphics, a dramatic storyline, and an exciting real-time battle system into a sprawling epic for fans of the Tales of series and Japanese RPGs.

Set amidst the conflict of three kingdoms competing for planetary domin ance, the story follows Asbel Lhant and his friends as they come to discover just how far they will go to protect the bonds of friendship between them in a quest that stretches beyond their comprehension.

The characters can fight with two different attacking styles, and the new combat system is easier to control while simultaneously adding new levels of tactical depth. Outfit your party with fashionably cool clothes based on past Tales of games and various themes.
Certain costumes will give characters stat boosts and access to classic Tales of battle music when they are equipped, giving players that extra edge in battle.

With the Duke's army, the group overthrows Cedric, and Richard regains the throne. Richard then orders an invasion of Lhant to rid it of Strahta's control, forcing the group to betray him.
Acknowledging Hubert's efforts as Lord of Lhant, Asbel and the group, joined by Malik Caesar , travel to Strahta to negotiate with the government and formally instate Hubert as Lord. The government agrees on the pretense that Pascal fix Strahta's valkines, a large crystal that supplies a life-sustaining energy known as eleth. Pascal succeeds, but Richard appears and absorbs the valkines's eleth before fleeing.
The group learns that Windor's valkines has also been absorbed and plans to intercept Richard at the final valkines in Fendel. Hubert joins the group as they travel to Fendel but fail to stop Richard. Deducing that the Lastalia, the planet's core, is Richard's target, the group finds Richard there.
Richard mortally injures Sophie before sealing the entrance to the Lastalia. The group is unable to heal Sophie with magic or medicine, so Pascal suggests they travel to Fodra , a nearby planet from where Sophie originates, to find a cure. After finding a space shuttle left by Pascal's ancestors, the group travels to Fodra, where they meet Emeraude , the last remaining human on the desolated planet. Using advanced machinery, Sophie is healed and regains her memories, revealing she is a biological humanoid engineered to defeat Lambda , the monster that attacked them in their childhood and is currently possessing Richard.
Emeraude helps the group bypass the barrier on the Lastalia, where they confront and defeat Richard. Emeraude betrays the group and attempts to absorb Lambda's power but dies in the process. Lambda begins to fuse with the Lastalia, causing the group to see his memories and learn about his suffering caused by humanity. The group then defeats the materialized Lambda. Since Lambda cannot be killed by normal means, Sophie intends to sacrifice herself to kill him.
Instead, Asbel absorbs and convinces Lambda to let him show humanity's worth. Lambda agrees before falling into a deep sleep. In the "Lineage and Legacies" story arc, the monster population has become an epidemic, forcing Asbel and his friends to reunite and investigate the cause.
Hypothesizing that the eleth from Fodra is influencing the monsters, the group travels there and discovers Fodra's core has reactivated. They learn the core is sentient and wants revenge on humans for Fodra's environmental decay. The group defeats Fodra's soldiers, the Little Queens , and has the reawakened Lambda absorb Fodra's consciousness.
In doing so, Lambda returns to his deep sleep in order to dissuade Fodra's hatred. The group separates and returns to their daily lives, concluding with Asbel proposing to Cheria. In the distant future, Sophie shares the group's adventure to Asbel and Cheria's descendant.
The game includes an additional story arc which takes place six months after the end of the original story and will solve the remaining mysteries of the game featuring a script three quarters as long as the original story line. Other additional contents include additional new story scenes within the original story, improved high definition graphics, new game secrets, new character costumes and new Blast Calibers.
The game features new costumes and those from the Wii version. Tales of Graces features a fully traversable overworld in which all fields and towns are scaled proportionately with the character models, similar to the area design in Tales of Hearts.
All dungeons, towns, and other locations are connected with detailed location geometry instead of a traditional world map. Enemy groups are visible on field and dungeon areas with distinct shapes. In this system, characters have two different fighting styles to choose from. The artes of either style are set to both the A and B buttons, and the player is able to switch freely between the styles in battle.
Characters are also able to sidestep in increments of a degree circle around the enemy, providing reduced damage and other bonuses if the sidestepping action is timed correctly. In battle, players attack using a modification of the Chain Capacity system first introduced with the PlayStation 2 remake of Tales of Destiny.
The free run maneuver which originated in Tales of the Abyss is renewed in this game, but it is limited by draining CC while it is active. Titles offer status bonuses to the user. Titles primarily allow characters to learn new artes and mastery skills. Titles are acquired in many different ways, some by story scenes, using artes a certain amount, and other certain conditions.
Dualizing is the main form of customization in Tales of Graces. Dualizing involves combining two items to form one better item. Weapons and armor can be dualized with shards dropped by enemies to improve them as well as with special crystals to change them to unique weapons.
Food ingredients can be dualized into full-party healing dishes. Finally, loot dropped from enemies can be dualized into more valuable loot, which can sometimes be dualized again into even more valuable loot. The Eleth Mixer is an improved version of the cooking system that has appeared in earlier games.
The Eleth Mixer can be used during battle to heal characters and enhance their powers. The Eleth Mixer naturally grows each time it produces or cooks something. There are 3 different types of items which can be set in the Eleth Mixer:. The "Groovy Chat" is an advanced skit system which is similar to the chat style introduced in Tales of Destiny 2 , with the full body character portraits being shown with more movements and emotional poses.
Unlike most skits, these chat events tend to appear frequently when the player is near a save point or at certain objects. The Groovy Chat system includes various pop-up "cut-in" images at set points during the chat, which can be anything from super-deformed chibi faces to mystic arte-quality images.
