I haven't seen a decent (and recent) JRPG game in a while, so I guess this is worth mentioning. Here we go, Tales of Graces f. I should also probably note that this is my first time playing a Tales game, so eh

As someone who has played through quite a few games from the Tales series, I'd also say Tales of Graces (f) was "good, but not the best." Admittedly, I played through the Wii version where there was no future arc (I did watch it on YouTube though), but that changes nothing.

Actually, it might have changed something but definitely not by much.

"They really should stop dubbing and just put subs for japanese voices already."

^I'm certainly waiting for the day when that happens. XP

I don't think it really changed anything in particular...well, unless if you didn't watch the skits, I guess. But that doesn't really add anything aside from some romance value and a bit more closure.

Gameplay-wise, there was Accel mode, which is a nice way to KO the rockgagong in two hits (which also can be done without), as well as a quick way to avoid dying, but that's really about it.

We can always hope~

Tried Symphonia? I've played a few Tales games, and Symphonia is by far my favorite. Abyss was okay, largely because of Jade. The rest were pretty meh. On the other hand, I played Symphonia first, ages ago on GameCube. Maybe I was just easier to please then.

Some PS3 games - Eternal Sonata - have been released with the option of Japanese + English subtitles. It's great. And yet I'm still never going to finish that game, because it bores me.

Nope. Graces is quite literally the first Tales game I've ever touched. Maybe I'll look into the others later, when I have more time.

My brother has Eternal Sonata lying around somewhere, I think...though I never picked it up, and probably won't, since you said it's boring. :P.
