So it’s looking like Tales of Graces F (the PS3 one without 90 million bugs) is coming to America after all. FilthiRich posted a link to a puzzle, which when deciphered was a website. This website, to be specific.
[:P
Which has nothing but a picture that so happens to be the logo for Tales of Graces F distorted in Photoshop. Also, the site name has to do with the story of Graces itself (There’s an important character named Richard in the game).
So, fucking finally, we get Tales of Graces. Yay.
Yes, Virginia-chan, there* is *an Amaterasu!
As I see it.
I have contempt for Japanese games for different reasons altogether. 
Back on topic: Tales of Graces PS3 in NA, eh? Given the battle system got changed up in ways I find intriguing, I might be interested. I may play the game on mute though.
Out of nowhere: the Colbert Report’s intro totally looks like a Tales Mystic Arte.
Dr. B’s Mystic Arte makes Knights of the Round look and sound like a cute little fart.
that’s what he was alluding too! I saw yesterday he posted 2 pictures 1 2 but had no idea was he was talking about.
Still wish it was Vesperia, because I’ve always wanted to play it but didn’t want to buy a 360 just to play it. Oh well, I’ll probably import it and put my Japanese to use before I forget it all
after playing fallout new vegas and being that was my first wrpg that I beated and played for 60 plus hrs I don’t see what the all the hoopla is about wrpgs being better. the game lacks soul
Not that I’m a huge fan of Fallout anything, but by “soul” do you mean tacky writing, contrived romantic tension, bad one-liners, forced eldricht abominations into stories that did just fine without them, and terrible synthy music tracks made on a budget instead of to match the story and characters (i.e., lacking soul)?
I’m just curious what the “soul” is you think the game’s missing.
Dr. B fanangles the bojangle with infinitely satisfying scrotum slapping.
not to be an ass but what exactly makes a good RPG?
Strong gameplay mechanics (and implementation of said mechanics) and a strong story. The former is more important, but depending on how story-driven the gameplay is, the latter still matters.
Take Dr. B Fantasyland XXII, widely regarded as the most important invention in human history.
hey now…
bad one-liners are the reason i wake up in the morning
it sounds like your being fragmented here, a good RPG should consist of a strong gameplay that reflects the interesting story, the enviroments should reflect the reality of the story/characters as much as the gameplay does
RPG’s are a fusion of gameplay and story. games these days try to be a film with a game tact on, pretty stupid if you ask me.
So Namco Bandai actually heard the people hmm? Now the only thing that needs to happen is the sales have to be there.

So it’s set for a 2012 release date, will get it when it comes out~
Also might want to update the title to mention that Graces F is coming to US and EU.
Fucking awesome. Cannot wait for a new tales game. These rpg’s are infinitely better than any of that final fantasy shit we have been getting for the past decade.
Im not new to the tales brand, but not You, not Symphonia, not Vesperia, tot Phantasia, not nobody can please me like how Eternia do.No one. I can’t tell you what I been through because we made a pact in blood.Let me tell you this much;There are some weapons"fully unexplained" in that game…
