Tales of GracesF

dammit. thats even further away from my birthday -_-

Well, it makes sense. Abyss is coming out here in Feb. So it'd be a bit wonky business wise to release both of them within a week of each other. Different platforms sure, but you're still having them compete kinda against each other.

Also, to those who can, and could play them, please buy them. I have a feeling their waiting for the sales results to decide whether or not to release Xillia here or not. So the better the sales, the higher the chance.

Is it sad I am just waiting for them to announce the rest of the voice acting cast for this.

They confirmed Asbel and Sophie but thats about it I think.

ESRB's awesome info on the really really really deep reasons why graces has a hardcore TEEN rating:

(As always thank you abyssal chronicles)

Content: Crude Humor, Fantasy Violence, Mild Language, Mild Suggestive Themes

Rating Summary: "This is an adventure role-playing game in which players follow a band of characters on a quest to save the world from their possessed friend. As players explore fantasy realms, they use swords, staffs, and magic attacks to defeat human enemies and creatures (e.g., wolves, bears, plant monsters). Battles are accompanied by slashing sounds and colorful light effects; damage is indicated by depleting health meters and a loss of hit points. Cutscenes depict more intense acts of violence: characters getting impaled, thrown against walls, or stabbed. During the course of the game, some female characters are dressed in outfits that expose moderate amounts of cleavage; part of the storyline includes a woman's obsession with “touching” another member of her party (e.g., “I really touched her . . . Once more! Please! Wait! Let me touch her again!”). Some scenes include instances of bathroom humor (e.g., a boy wetting his pants in fear; a girl making loud retching/vomiting sounds after overeating). The words “damn” and “hell” can be heard in the dialogue."

Lol. This seems to be the most apt case of "Making a mountain out of a molehill."

Also, with all the shit that's in American gaming, this is pretty fucking tame. I'd rather not think about it, but I'll bring up a point the game "Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3" wherein you literally kill defenseless civilians. And not in the GTA "I accidentally ran over this person and they went flying." way. Like in the "I just shot that person in the leg, causing them to fall down, then I splattered their brains on the pavement."

I'm proud to say I'm an American. But some people in the authoritative body of this area are real xenophobes.

Cutscenes depict more intense acts of violence: characters getting impaled, thrown against walls, or stabbed.

Uh. Theres no blood. You NEVER see any impaling happen ON screen (If impaling EVER even happens, cause if its talking about the prologue part then.........lol) , and hell you dont even really see ANY violence on screen. Not even in anime cutscenes. Also:

thrown against walls.

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW REAL VIOLENT.

Gears of War, Madworld, Saw the game, etc etc. We condone shit like that but ohhhhhh nooooooo someone got thrown against a wall!!!!

Lol

Yeah, really. Turn on a television for a half hour if you want to see violence.

THE WORLD REALY IS ENDING In 2012

Oh.
My.
God.

I have to see one of these pictures just to confirm their existence.

After that...

....I want to say that I love you all...

Who has it?

Also I should be acquiring one of the graces posters in a week.

I have it but I haven't touched it nor have I opened it since I got it because I'm too busy with xillia and ME3 >.<

I have it though not really anytime recently to play it.

I dont even have it yet lol. Still gotta pick it up

It's probably arrived. At school.
Which means I won't get to play till Monday at the earliest.

I have it but I haven't even opened it due to naruto ff and neptunia hope to play this weekend

Ive been workin on neptunia mk 2. Pretty fun

I'm on the first lol

O lol. I didnt get too far in the 1st one

30 or so hours in. I think.



God richard's a douche.

Richard is awesome

I figured I should beat the first 1 even though its a lot worse

Yeah.......yeah. Everyone pretty much said :You can go into 2 without missing out on anything" so I did that. I couldn't play one for too long lol

I got it. Just at wallbridge.

Im extremely disappointed with Richard's voice. Asbel's doesn't really click for me either, the guy is a good voice actor but it doesn't fit his character. When I heard that Richard was Jin Kisaragi from blazblue i was STOKED, his VA put INCREDIBLE amounts of emotion and such into his job for voicing Jin, and it was beautiful. He sounds like a robot in graces. Knowing the work hes done before (Blazblue and Durarara!!!) it makes me sad knowing he can do SO MUCH better than what im hearing in graces.

Odds are high that I'll be getting this one for my birthday, about a week from today.

I'll do my best to finish Legendia first. It'll be interesting, comparing an old school Tales like that to a redesigned, more current-gen one.

oh theres no comparison.

thats like trying to compare pennies to gold bars.
