Already had this game pre-ordered at Gamestop so I'm good on that ground. Reading over these comments makes me nervous for this games success though :/ Please guys if you like JRPGs support this game so we can continue to get more English Tales of titles!
Really? Most of us have it preordered as well. Well, okay, there's only 3 pages of response...

Speaking of costumes, do you think Namco will sell those other ones? At this point I don't care if I'm nickled and dimed. I want Asbel's Yuri/Haseo costume!
 

ULTROS!

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
It ill be great if we get the Idolmaster costumes.

Question. Any of the males heal? I normally do an all male team my first time through. Or I get by Gels and Life bottle healing. But most tales, at least a male has some sort of healing abilities, if not the best type.

Doesn't the main character usually get a healing spell since he's a "jack of all trades" type of a character? Or maybe I'm thinking about Star Ocean.

Why are all 'Tales of' heroes always males?
 
I have the Japanese version, but I haven't stared it yet as I'm playing some other games.

I guess I will just wait and play along with you guys.

That's an interesting choice for a team lol. From the demo, Hubert (your avatar, what a coincidence) has Healing Wind, but I believe that's all he has (I could be wrong obviously). And that's it. Though I guess I can't say anything about your team choice since I plan on going three males + one female as my most used party (Asbel, Malik, Cheria, and Hubert but he'll be switched around a lot with Sophie and Pascal).

Excuse me?

Had to be done.

- RPGs usually have male leads (heck, it's the same in most genres).
- Japanese fangirls
:p

Xillia changes that (or at least mix it up), though:

Ahahahaha. Poor Kiryogi.

Graces' healers are Cheria, Sophie and Hubert (all arranged in how effective they are at healing; I personally depend on Cheria to do most of it, but that's because I generally kick Sophie out of the party or use Hubert manually).

Also, I kinda urge people to switch up who they use in battle. I really love using Asbel (and it isn't cuz I like hearing Takahiro Sakurai's voice), but Cheria and Hubert were really fun for me to use as well.

Since I missed out on the $40 Amazon deal, I guess I will preorder this when I pick up my Vita next week. I'm not really a fan of the costumes though.

Wait... so who is doing the OT? If no one is doing it I will totally do it with some assistance. And by Assistance I mean Graphical stuff.

Yes. Hubert has these skills, for example:
ヒールウィンド (Healing Wind -- Heal 25% of HP for allies within a small range)
アンチドート (Antidote -- Heal Poison, Paralyze, Weak or Burn for one ally)
集気法 (Centre -- Self-healing)

This is partially why I use him manually when I'm not busy using Asbel or Cheria---he's better as a short-ranged or ranged attacker depending on the styles you use (Double-Blade Artes Style vs Twin Pistol Burst Style), and this is why I leave the healing/buffing up to Cheria when I'm not manually controlling her, lol.

Wait... so who is doing the OT? If no one is doing it I will totally do it with some assistance. And by Assistance I mean Graphical stuff.
Either Kiryogi or Rpgmonkey, I guess, since they usually do Tales threads around here. I'd suggest PMing either one to see if they're doing it before you jump into it.

I really hope they release DLC day one. I seriously couldn't stand playing Hubert in his default costume...

Unless you guys really wanted to do it I wouldn't have a problem with doing it. Think I should have enough free time to put together an OT.

Graces ƒ is an enhanced port of a Wii game. The origins are apparent.

Okay, so I'm not going crazy. I thought something looked a bit off.

OT: Don't have much emotion for this game. I have heard good things about the Tales series, but I'm really not feeling the art style or the character design.

For people who have played the game already, how does it compare to Tales of Symphonia? That's the only Tales game I've played, but I absolutely love it (I've beaten it 3 times, probably logged a couple hundred hours into the game total at least).

Oooh maybe we need some new blood, not to mention I've never been much of a graphical powerhouse. So seeing the new interest, if Kayo or Aeana wants to do it, I'll back down. All yours folks! Already did the JP one anywho. . . XD
