Tales of Graces f Demo Impressions

The Tales of Graces f demo was finally put on the Japanese PSN store about a week ago. Luckily for me the PlayStation 3 system that I have access to was finally repaired and sent back to me! Anyways, long story short I made sure that the first thing I did was download the demo.

I started off not having any interest at all in Tales of Graces f, but after having to report a bit of news and having to pay such close attention to every single detail released about this game my opinion changed. The more and more I read up about this game, the more and more interesting it started to sound. I had started to make up my mind right before this demo came out that I was going to import it.

After playing through the demo, even though I can't read or understand Japanese even close to an elementary level, I've found that the game is quite a bit better than I was expecting. I have had very little previous experience with Tales games so I was sort of walking into this one blindly.

Alright first of all, I have a feeling that the story for this game will be pretty good. I'm aware that when I play it, I'll be looking through some fan translations and such but I won't let that take away from my enjoying this game for what it is. The characters seem pretty likable based solely on the demo, I really like the character design of Sophie and Asbel seems like a good main character to control.

I should have stated this sooner but all my opinions are based solely on what I know of Tales of Graces f, I have no prior knowledge of Tales of Graces for the Wii, so if I get something wrong at any point, I apologize.

The battle system in this game, from what I got a taste of in the demo seems very interesting to say the least. I like how it takes the regular typical Tales battle system, that of attacks and artes, and combines in the new Accelerate Mode. To be fair the demo has you playing with characters that are level 65, but Accelerate Mode is just amazing for lack of better words. It's visually amazing and its also enemy-destroying amazing.

Well in conclusion all I can say for sure is that, funds providing, I'll have this game in my hands a little after Christmas and when I do, you will know!

I've finally moved all of my content from Wordpress here! :D I'm so happy I could dance forever.

As you may have noticed, I ditched my custom theme in favour of one that I think looks better any ways. From time to time I may change up the background and the header though only because I can't live without there being at least some customization going on here.

I had a thought the other day, I read a lot, I think I may add book reviews to my already huge list of things that I do. I don't know how many people will read them to be honest, but it's worth a try.

Later on today expect a bit more spam, I've got a nice little 4-5 paragraph entry to put up about my experience with the Tales of Graces f demo. To put it simply, I more than enjoyed it, and I fully intend on importing the game when it comes out in Japan. Yeah, I don't speak Japanese but that's not stopping me from playing a game that I have a feeling I'll love! :D
