Judith's outfit tosses nearly everything I hate into a single design, while Estelle's outfit is best summed up as outlandish impracticality. Marta's another victim of Short Skirt Syndrome, but she has it much worse than the Graces girl. Ange's got a ludicrous skirt with some kind of funky bulge, and Hermana just frightens me. Innes is close to making my like list, but then she shows off her midriff and has white hair--literally the only noteworthy hair color I don't like. Rita and Iria are the recent Tales girl designs I'm most happy with (though their socks are iffy), but they don't flat-out impress me the way the Graces girl does. I really agree with what Fuu said while I was digging up pictures for this post, right down to liking her even more after the trailer:

No, I meant the boot.
I know what boot it reminds me of now though, so they seem like a normal size considering her legs now.

NOT THE SAME MONSTERS AGAIN! ARRRRRRGH! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!
Abyss, Dawn of the New World, Vesperia, Innocence, RM1, RM2 and now Graces... I don't mind recycling a few, but after Symphonia this is something the series is seriously lacking [at least the 3D ones]... they even reuse the same models within a single game so many times that there is no enemy diversity... |

it'll be hard to look at graces after playing vesperia with its nice cel shaded graphics. graces had better get localized cuz i think it'll be the game to finally motivate me into buying a wii

Looking at these screenshots, I have two relatively minor worries for Graces:
1) Like Vesperia, it'll have a bunch of enormous towns but they'll be riddled with invisible wall syndrome--full of gates, doors, and other open areas that look like they should go somewhere, but don't. I hope I'm wrong, but I get a strong "Zaphias" vibe from those castle town pictures. 2) Unlike Vesperia, it won't handle the story in such a way that one could feasibly argue at least four separate characters as the "main." Despite having Yuri's point of view, ToV effectively pulled an FFVI and gave most everybody a spotlight, which culminated in a final boss encounter where the game-ending speech went to your party leader instead of whatever story-designated lout the writers felt like. Granted that the Disco Swordsman is awesometastic, but I'd like some choice here too and the fact that either they're intentionally omitting every other character right now or simply haven't finished any of the other characters yet hasn't instilled much hope on this front.

Just off the top of my head, their slimes, gargoyles, elemental orbs, spiders, skeletons, liches, coffin-carrying-things, pumpkin-throwing trees, Raybits, and Murders (the giant floating mechanical enemies) were all cool, and I don't think most of them ever came back. Or even things like ropers and mandragoras, which do show in later Tales games but had their best incarnations in Symphonia. Edit:

I also like how the Disco Swordsman (that's what he'll be known as to me forever!) is fighting what looks like a giant robot in the middle of an open field. Either that's a placeholder battle screen, or the world of Graces has a giant robot infestation. Personally, I'm hoping for the latter. |

Sometimes around here I wonder if I should insert an "I think" or "I wonder" or "I doubt" or "it's possible that" or "maybe" after every six words to get across when I'm speculating and talking about hopes as opposed to making presumptions/deductions/whatever people think I'm expressing.
Speaking of speculation, I've been saying this in IRC, but not sure if anyone else picked up on it...Elvis -> replace "vi" with a different sound -> Elbas -> flip the beginning and ending -> Asbel Intentional or not? You decide! :O

Battlefields and towns look pretty nice in Graces.
Though this makes 3D Tales #7 or 8 to reuse some monsters. That and the graphic style makes it easy to see that they're still using Abyss as a base for at least some things in the 3D games since then, with all the 3D games they've suddenly started making, it looks like it's going to be quite a while before they ever stop and create a bunch of all-new stuff as this looks like a cheap/quick way to make all of them more easily. |
