Tales of Graces f Remastered Review - The Final Verdict

Bandai Namco has delivered a thorough remaster of one of Tales’ best entries. Aside from the usual graphics touch-ups, this package comes with a collection of additional conveniences. Players can fine-tune the gameplay experience almost any way they desire. Encounters can be turned off with a toggle, and the suite of Grade options available at the start put all control in the player’s hands.

Tales of Graces is worth playing even regardless of these additions due to its timeless political plot and deft weaving of character relationships throughout it all. The series is known for its character-centric skits and this is no different, containing a whopping 400 or so in total with a voice cast including industry vets Laura Bailey and Cassandra Lee Morris to name a few.

The combat relies on the exploitation of enemy weaknesses and clever building of character Titles. There are well over 500 titles for party members in this game, conferring stat buffs, new skill arts, and various other goodies like costumes and enhanced drop rates.

Tales of Graces f Remastered is a quintessential action JRPG - one of the very best I’ve played, and the additions here make it even better.
