Lord. g-value, That was simply cruel. FFXIII is massive, epic, has some of the best damn visuals out there, and an evolving combate system complete with top notch voice work. It will get the best reviews, the most sales, the highest of acclaims, and between people who play both games, they will choose Final Fantasy 13.
Regardless, I choose Tales of graces. Call me crazy, but thats just how much I love Tales games. Visuals be damned, it looks fine enough. Combat looks to be a refreshing new direction. Story will probably be Tales notsoepic style. Voice work could be either like Symphonia and sound like hurl, or Vesperia and be perfect. It'll get modest reviews, less -then-usual sales. No awards, no RPG of the year.
And yet, it'll kick more ass then most JRPGs released in its year. Damn straight.
For most people who will play both though...Final Fantasy 13 will undoubtly take home far more votes. And to be fair, by all normal standards it probably will be better then Graces.
GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.
