One of the best battle themes in the series. Definitely up there with Fighting of the Spirit.

Hmm, yeah, that's one of the better songs. Just a reminder that old school Sakuraba is better than new school Sakuraba.

Now I really want ToG in Europe, and fast. ^^

I like the Child version of Battle Theme.

Wow, as if I didn't want this game enough already! I can't believe my hype for it actually went UP even more.

I wish this game would just get a EU release date already :( And have it be soon. I want it so much ;_;



are the costumes available early in the game? how do you usually get costumes in tales?

believe it or not, i've never gotten a costume in any tales game i've ever played, i've seen vids of costumes on youtube but never gotten any, i don't even know how >_>

Sidequests. Tales games don't even give you hints of where and when to start them (and the cut off point is usually too fast in a lot of cases) so unless you're looking at FAQs on GameFAQs or get lucky you won't be bale to know when or where to start them. Usually second playthrough of Tales games I look at FAQs because I'm gonna miss a lot of sidequests the first playthrough. The good thing is that in this game anyone who has a smiley over their heads means a sidequest will start if you talk to them so they seem to have fixed that finally I think.

In this game you can also get costumes from DLC (Scamco).


Realy really nice to hear :D  this makes getting secrets more efficient, not easier, just less redundant and random.

i really appreciate that in a game (when games tell you that there's something secret in the area, without telling you where). In Muramasa this was SO SO SO helpful, intead of looking everywhere for each item in EACH area, the game would flag the area with an icon, if there's an item there or not, or if you already got it.

 

This is weird but this just hyped me up a little bit, lol

oh, and lol @ the Scamco comment.... i personally don't really care, i like having the option (who doesn't like options???lol) if the costume DLC is nice i think ill get a couple from the start, just for some options and woredrobe changes every now and then. i remember one costume for Sophie which had spiral hair, I'm definately getting that! :)

I like the way Baten Kaitos Origins did it - Sidequests are barely missable, and as soon as you start a sidequest it's listed in part of your menu and tells you the basic gist of what you have to do. Don't know if that's in Graces. That plus the smiley indicators will be great and means they're finally fixing some issues with these games. So far I've barely heard any problems with this game.

I just call them Scamco because I wish they'd put the costumes on the disc instead of offering them for 400 points each. EACH. Not even 400 a set. Asbel's suit is way too tempting ;_; I'd really like Malik's too because of the sunglasses but I think I'll just buy the suit. Don't want to spend $8 on two costumes.

Did you say 400 points EACH?!?? omg, forget about it, that really is a scam. why so expensive?..... wow, just wow. with that price i'd be surprised if anyone bought more than one costume, if any. i sure aint.

SCAMCO scams FTL



I bet the game gets ported to the PSP because of the low first week sales. Either way I want the game but I doubt its better than Vesperia.
