Default Tales Of Graces Lookin' Graceful

With exclusive Tales of Graces, Namco's Tales franchise is coming to the Wii. The game is the 12th in the role-playing series.



It's expected up last up to 70 hours, making it a big, meaty JRPG experience for the Wii.


Graces has a battle system that allows characters to freely pick from two different fighting styles using either the A or the B button.


The game is slated for this Winter in Japan. It doesn't not have a Western release date quite yet.

I never quite understood the 'Tales of' series, I might just take a shot at this one if it comes to NA.

Maybe so but that's something you need to take considering the wii barely have any RPGs on it.

I need to play through ToS AND get ToS 2 too.

No thanks. One Tales game is more than enough for me, and enen that one's starting to lose its luster.

My thoughts exactly...Although I did love Symphonia, and I am planning on getting 2. Vesperia looks great IMO.

Because that's a good reason that the Wii should get generic RPGs, right?

This Tales game looks blegh, and so does Arc Rise Fantasia. Tales Studios is really starting to suck...

So? Is the Wii the only console you have? Otherwise, chances are you'd have no need for yet another generic RPG.

People are sucking up so many bad Final Fantasies, so many lame RPG's like Dark Spire, Etrian Odyssey and what else.. doesn't matter.

and everytime the really unique and fun Beat'em-Up-RPG Tales appears it's getting the flan in the face.

I wonder why Tales of Symphonia 2 hasn't appeared in EU yet?
The first game was beautiful.

Have you ever tried SNES Tales of Phantasia? That 48 MBit cartridge was a technical milestone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmgfylaQTCs

Nah, I don't need to put up with mediocrity just because of the system it's on. A person can avoid bad games and play the good ones on other systems. For example, the lack of RPGs and strategy games on the N64 is what led me to skip that system and enjoy great RPGs and strategy games on other systems (rather than get the system and put up with crap).

This hasn't been a great generation for original RPGs in general, though, not just on the Wii.
