Well I just played through most of the demo (I think) since I died on the "boss"? I think it was the boss anyway.(I've never really played any Tales of games, so...) It doesn't seem too bad actually. The backgrounds don't seem as detailed/lively as in ES, but the characters do look great!
I thought the voice acting sounded pretty damn good and comparable to other Tales of games.(note: I was listening to the Japanese voices ;-p ) I actually thought the background music was rather quirky and fit the scene(in the early part of the demo) rather nicely. Kind of reminded me like in LO when they had the moogle-esque music playing in a slightly humorous way. :)
I'm going to have to wait to see my gf try it out for her impressions as she's a big Tales of fan(and has played most of the Tales of games!)
