TALES OF GRACES UPHOLDS TRADITION

NAMCO has the Tales series down to a predictable science, so each new game is simply an exercise in guessing what odd names the battle system and characters will have. For the upcoming Tales of Graces on the Wii, battles are run by the relatively simple-sounding Style Shift system. It allows for slightly more convenient actions in battle, as each button controls a different type of move: magic attacks, physical blows, or health-replenishing options. It also seems that the game will shun a world map in favor of seamlessly connected locations.
Basic names also apply to the prime heroine of Tales of Graces. She's Sophie, a purple-haired girl with, shockingly enough, severe amnesia and a host of mysterious abilities. Even more shockingly, hero Asbel Lhant has to protect her! Yeah, that's par for the course among Tales games, though Sophie at least isn't useless in battle, as footage of the Style Shift system shows. Even if it doesn't break many conventions, Tales of Graces is still another anime-style RPG for Wii owners. Between this, Arc Rise Fantasia, and Monado: Beginning of the World, the system is slowly gaining ground in that category.

Oh my god, I cannot wait to see what this game has in store. I am a tales fan and This sounds awesome cant wait to see how they do it!. Sweetness.
When you're in a town like this all covered with smoke, you forget that there's a world outside. Nothing amazing happens here. And you get used to that, used to a world where everything is ordinary. Every day we spend here is like a whole lifetime of dying slowly. But now Haruko is here. That's how I know there really is a world outside.
