So umm, to the people who bought this, how is it? I'm itching for a JRPG. I have not tried one this entire gen, but I was intrigued by a few trailers. How is it? What are the strong points? I might acquire it this month. Thanks!

Well then, you've missed out on quite a bit.

Most people have had positive thoughts. Very enjoyable.

Strong Points are for sure gameplay and music.

Weak points are story and pacing.

That fits just about every Tales game though. It's definitely one of the better entries in the series.

Yea, when I started undergrad I ceased my gaming activities, and that was around the PS3's launch. I got mine a little over a year ago, so the catch up has been intense (along with building up my Vita library). I enjoyed JRPGs on the PS2 and have yet to play any this gen, so I want to give a few a try. This game seems like a good start. And thanks for the tips. I'll pick it up and likely get the other Tales games for PS3 as well (or maybe get the older games first and then move up to this one).

Graces and Xillia are pretty different, but I would definitely start with Graces if you plan to play both.
