Tales of Graces - Trailer December 08 - Nintendo Wii

[dermils]

this game is super awesome u guys should play it... cuz its just that awesome

[UnfortunateOutcome]

I knew about this game from literally day 1. Same goes for ToV for PS3. Not a single thing has been announced for US release yet. Same goes for ToV PS3. But there are rumors for a sequel to ToV

[herio907]

Maybe. There is no confirmed release date, yet.

[Gummibear832]

Wow, this game looks awesome! I love the Tales games. I had Tales of Symphonia 2 and currently have Tales of Vesperia. They need to make another Tales for the 360. Anyone know if they are going to?

[Suzaku990]

whats the name of the song used for this trailer?

[xzer02bluex]

Eternal Symphony or something, I might be wrong.

[DTY16]

descision to the future

from ToD2

[Winkelgucker]

yes

[Umbree61]

thats what i thought, but its not, his name is Asbel or somthing like that

[Reddeathx5]

It's suppos to be the first Tales of that goes up to 70 hours of gameplay.

[patpatparuupat]

tales of symphonia said on the back of the box over 80 hours

[AnimeFreakKenny]

but Tales of Symphonia didn't take that long to beat...

[Umbree61]

No it didnt it only took me 60 somthing hours, but I didnt do all the side games either

[yaymeIamanut]

if you dont turn on lloyd's ex special ( it lets you run faster) and barely use the reahairds XD and finish ALL sidequests, and never skip a skit lol

[ummmmXD]

Im hoping that the main character dosen't turn out to be a little pansy like in DotNW.

I swear, that game annoyed mainly because of Emil, he never acted like a main character and always hid behind everyone else.

Also his voice acting annoyed the crap out of me. Anyways this game looks very promising, hopefully it'll be as good as symphonia.

[serrano333]

emil is the tales equivilant of vaan from FFXII

[Stickmaleboy]

Emil played a role in the story.

Vaan, y'know... >.>

[Lonewulf321]

DotNw was a spin-off, this is an actual title.

So It's going to have more effort put into it.

Not that DotNW didn't have effort.xD

[herio907]

Asbel is a goody-too-shoes. So, he's going to be heroic! Nothing like Emil.

And, Emil was like a more childish version of Luke. And, you can't blame him. I mean, his parents DID get killed (even though they were fake memories, they would have still had an impact on his psyche).

[stupogo0]

so true and luke was childish beacue mind of a seven year old, and ion had a 2 year old mind thought they tried to make emil a bad-ass like yuir and surpassed him and fell w8 short at the same time with both emils

[ShadowLugiaRider1995]

oh im so buying this!cant wait till Dec 18

Btw i think this is the game that connects all Tales of games 2gether

[PKStarStormLucas]

Why do people say this game might suck? come on its been in production for two years and its only 30% complete. there is no chance in hell a game that long in production can suck.

[jacobrball]

People might be saying that because TOS2 (the last wii tales game) wasn't all that good.

[PKStarStormLucas]

But it wasan't a mothership title graces is.

[jacobrball]

True. It will probably be a lot better now that I think of it. They'll have a lot more room for the story to develop, as well as for characters. There will be different dungeons and puzzles, It does look pretty cool. I have a question, does anyone know if the map is really going to be based off of Medieval Europe??? Cause that would be a nice, fairly large map.

[PKStarStormLucas]

suposely it is but im not sure why don't you go ask gamefaqs they have a message board on graces alredy.

[sorakeyblade100]

@PKStarStormLucas well gran turismo 5 apparently fell short of people's expectations, but i agree, tales of graces does not suck.

[herio907]

My only concern is the story and battle system. I've heard the story outline and think that they need to be very careful with what they're doing. I don't want a repeat of Vesperia and have no story, but a bunch of plots mixed into one. Gah, I could rail on that game all day. -_-

And, the combat system seems so...experimental. I'm kinda worried about it. But, I trust that they won't mess up.

As for Symphonia 2, I liked it a lot. Only compliant is the voice acting. Otherwise, good.

[lionheart99]

You don't have to worry about the battle system. Almost all the tales of system's battle system are really fun.

[thewerecactus]

play symphonia: knights of ratatask. that'll change your sunny attitude.

[lionheart99]

The battle system wasn't great compare to other tales games, but was still fun in my opinion. Plus there are worse battle systems then Dawn of the New World. Legendia was probably the worse one in my opinion.

[herio907]

I personally loved Legendia.

[herio907]

Symphonia 2 IS Knights of Ratatosk. -_-

[ShadowLugiaRider1995]

its also called Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World

[herio907]

I know.  But he was counting DotNW and Symphonia 2 as two different games.

[Aros555]

Vesperia's story may be weak, but not bad. The plot was just a rushed and therefore not very stable but, come on, fighting in Vesperia is way too fun.

[blazenwhiper]

if you think the plot was rushed, then play it for Ps3 Apparently it'll be getting more added to the story, along with Many new features like combo mystic artes

[cowisgod1]

sigh another 3d one, gonna be decent at best.

[linkhero55]

are u expecting them to do a 2d on the game consoles ._. ? I think theres a 2d vs 3d debate with the Tales games, but lets face it, some are crappy ,some are not, people over exxagerate when they say all the 3d tales suck

[cowisgod1]

They should just drop 3d tales games period, they are all average at best. not one 3d tales game even compares to the 2d ones on ps2.

[jacobrball]

2D Tales are RIDICULOUSLY easy when it comes to the battles. All you have to do is corner the enemy and he is pretty much dead. 3D ones offer more of a challenge, and are more fun in general.

[cowisgod1]

Dude... are you serious? Tales of destiny2 ps2 is the HARDEST tales game ever... and every fucking tales game has like 6 difficultys that makes it harder... thats just ignorant.

[HakuHOO]

acctually, hes kinda right, if you cornered the enemy, you could just keep spamming a fast affective move, but wheres the fun in that? your right too though. i always died in symphonia cuz there wasnt much space to evade attacks

[vermillionrasengan]

he looks more like a samurai than a knight

[avdquick]

Knight of Ratatosk was not a real true sequal to Tales of Symphoa. It was a closing to the Aselia calendar that includes Symphona, Knight of Ratatosk and Phantasia. All three stories take place on the same time line and same planet. So it wasnt a real sequal it was just a story on how mana in Phantasia's timeline was not needed anymore.

Graces seems as it will be that real RPG to come out for the Wii about time Nintendo needs to focus on its hared core gamer fanbase. No more crappy rythm games

[ChronoPaladin91]

Haha so agree with you. The Wii needs more hardcore games and as for TOS 2 I will forget I wasted about 26 hours of my life playing that game.

[elesegerardo]

people need to see beyond lame symphonia

in my opinion, it's the worst tales game

the story was good, but there was not *A LOT* of replay value and sidequests as phantasia, abyss or vesperia.

and TOS2 was a piece of crap, did not even bother to finish it.

tales of rebirth and destiny remake are the only ones i have yet to play, and i know that destiny remake is just, beautiful.

and actually, i got a pretty good feeling about this game.. i think that if they put enough effort, i might kick ass

[avdquick]

What? Symphonia was a good story, sure it may not have that many 'mini quests' or anything of that sort but it came out in a different time. The PS2 version and GC version were different same with the NA and JPN versions. older Tales of Games shaped current Tales of games. Its called 'testing' place in one thing test it, see if it hits or misses, replaces it next game so on ect. Then when it comes to new games add whats favorable over the non favorable. Thats how Vesperia did so well.

[elesegerardo]

well yeah i undestand all that, but for me at least, eternia and destiny were funner to play than symphonia. phantasia is the first one and it has a LOT more sidequests. i also get that it was he first 3D game but in some aspects i prefer 2D games cuz on greater risk and mayhem , with exceptions of course [ToTA cameo battle]. the thing is that many people i know got stuck with symphonia as the only good tales game without even bothering to play others and saying that 2D games are lame.

[elesegerardo]

oh well, what i mean is that i encourage people to play more tales games, it is my favorite game saga ever, every story is amazing and they are so fun to play. there's is A LOT more beyond symphonia.

maybe if we encourage more people to play and love this games, they will bring more from japan, like the DS ones and remakes from older ones.

so spread the word!!

[9aOs3]

this game reminds me a liitle bit about Dark cloud 2. might get this.

[E15]

talk about major graphic upgrade

awesome

[digetle11]

That guy's NINJA!!!

[KSEethnictacoKSE]

lol i was thinkin the same thong

[Zernium]

Phear my disco dance moves! They make monsters and mechs die from exposure to pure awesomeness!

...At least, that's what the main character's outfit makes me think he's thinking, lol.

[Hexelsfayt]

Oh man this is gona rock! I just hope it won't a dissapontment like tales of symphonia 2

[jimmervision]

i have a bad feeling about that man...i love the Tales series, but so far, i have a REAL bad feeling about this game...i hope its better than Symphonia 2 of course but....meh...i wonder...

[stormfur2]

Inorite? It looks like it's only one character, though. O.o If it is, it probably sucks. :x

[shuriken319]

Wow... you're actually stupid. Obviously they didn't want to show us any characters besides the main character.

[stormfur2]

Well, in other Tales trailer, they show more than just the main character. Just saying. Sheesh.

[jimmervision]

i agree with you there....i mean, the huge let downs i had with Symphonia 2 was that you are stuck with either Emil or Marta for the entire game (you can change characters in battle, but you gotta keep doing that every time), the pace of the game is rather slow (too much to read), there is no nifelheim swordmaster challenge, the colosseums battles are not rewarding (you only get exp items for monsters, which is meh...)...the story was good, but still...

and with this one, well...BAD FEELING.

[jimmervision]

i only see ONE character, and it looks like they are trying to be creative with the battle sistem and all, which is good, i love it...but i really hope they put more characters in there, and make it a real tales game, not a spinoff like Symphonia 2 was

[jimmervision]

oh! and dont forget about the diferent costume titles!!!! xD

[stormfur2]

Yeah. Plus, I was so disappointed when you couldn't level up the other ToS charaters. The storyline was good, but other than that, I had too high of an expectation and was disappointed. :x

[avdquick]

well, I think Graces will be different, TOS 2 seemed more as a testing ground to see if the high ougi's will work. Also as I said it was not a true 'sequel' it was a book closing on the series that spanned ToS, ToS2 and ToP. So to me I played it I liked it sure there was a lot of letdown and I felt the story was rushed but look at it from the grand scheme of things. ToS was a prequal to ToP so in essense it was a closing to that timeline. nothing more or less. As well it was a testing ground

[elesegerardo]

i really don't think that symphonia needed a sequel. of course it was for marketing reasons, but every tales game is awesome! new story would have been a lot better

maybe they realized this and that's why they are rushing with ToG, before Vesperia's fame fades out

[PokemonTrainerHikari]

Cuz its a TRAILER stupid

[gamrage]

One step closer to a "Tales of" MMORPG

[Yepimdatguy]

Lol. That I hope will never happen

[kaishiomo]

I look forward to it.

[chanellxp]

Tales of Graces battle system is the "Style Shift Linear Motion Battle System" (SS-LMBS). In this system, characters have two different fighting styles to choose from. Skill of either style can be set to both the A and B buttons, and the player is able to freely switch between the styles in battle.

[asndarknessdragon]

Would Free Run be incorporated into this system, because judging by the name it doesn't seem so.Either way, the game looks good, but it would be strange if they make a huge battlefield with a circular boundary without some sort of 3D free movement (exception to the side step.)

[tailsdahedgehog]

You do know that every battle system has the LMBS part in its name, right?

It probably will have free run.

[TMASR001]

I want the graphics to be between Abyss and Vesperia.

[wlcaclwa]

does that mean have tales of world 3?

[Cell1511]

What doing that childen at 0:20?

Did he jumping or something?

[ALEXTHECOOLEST007]

Dued learn to grammar jeez, lol.

But no the kid isn't jumping I'm pretty sure he's waving his arms.

[MattAlchemy]

*Dude, learn to have better grammar, jeez, lol. And no, the kid isn't jumping. I'm pretty sure he's waving his arms.

[BryFy354]

i think the last arte was rending thrust

[aryulo]

I want better graphics for a new mothership title.

[shadowlink512]

Aren't those better graphics? o.O

[aryulo]

I love tales series and played all of them.

But i think the graphics do not improve. It is still the level of the abyss or symphonia.

The previous mothership title is Vesperia.

And i am so certain that Vesperia has much better graphics.

[ruukarm]

That was XBOX360, did you notice?

[Kaiserfangirl]

It's because this is a Wii game.

The 360 has better graphics than the Wii, so of course Vesperia would have better graphics than this...

[HirokuSabarishi]

ys you are so right but judging from tales of symphonia 2 i thibk the graphics improved alot better than of the abyss

[Kaiserfangirl]

Agreed, ToG looks like it will have the next best graphics after Vesperia.

[ChaosSonic103]

looks xbox 360 graphics

[SaaneIo]

Naw, The Xbox 360 graphics look more high def. These graphics kinda look bland...

[lewibe46]

dude its youtube of course the graphs look bland

[linkhero55]

Only one thing does suck, it is obvious to me that Vesperia aka Symphonia Team didn't work on this one =/

[repedeisthebest]

Can't wait,can't wait...

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAH

Come on these combos seems so cool

the scenary reminds me a bit of ToA and Vesperia but somehow much more charming

can't waitXD

[AtraLuna]

Holy crap, this looks like it has potential! I just beat Tales of Symphonia: DotNW, and I want moar Tales!

[CallMeKazu]

Man, ToS2 was a big dissapointment for me D:, I mean It was good and all, battle system wise... But All the character voices were different (except Colette), Way shorter then the first one..., Not enough sidequests...

And no Nebilim/Cameo battles... I would of LOVED too see some Symphonia Vs Abyss Cameo going on... But sadley...

D:

[TheHPArsenal]

Aw, come on. The new actors were fantastic. Lloyd's new voice is fantastic! *sarcasm*

[CallMeKazu]

Definataly... Seriously a great imrovement Over the Origional... *Sarcasm*

[VesperiaStuff]

Beacock nailed Yaeger and failed Lloyd.

[TheHPArsenal]

Beacock wasn't Yeager. Spike Spencer was and I have the email to prove it. Beacock's not good enough to voice Yeager.

[VesperiaStuff]

Happy to hear that. Now I can just flat out say Beacock is terrible :]

[TheJoninMonkey]

Actually from what I read, both Tara Strong (Presea) and Cam Clark (Kratos) came back to reprise their roles as well.

[CallMeKazu]

Actually, thats correct XD, Now that I think about it, But Presea sounded a little different, But Kratos, It really made me feel better that they kept his voice EXACTLY the same. Just like Colette

[zwaky123]

graphics r too nice lol

[shadowlink512]

Looks so... perfect *-*

I just wonder when it'll be released, 2010?

[1trojan1]

probably, as long as its worth the wait i dont mind.

[Unknownsage13]

Namco doesn't usually unveil Tales of games to far away from their release.

But this looked quite laggy..

[Ccagesniper]

the lag is youtubes fault as they probably changed the frame rate when encoding because I have watched the source and it doesn't lag like this.

[Unknownsage13]

Whew, thanks for saving me from stress.

[wAcKiEjAcKiE1092]

I heard it was coming either in the summer or the end of 2009 in Japan.

I cannot remember but I remember it saying 2009.

It does look fantastic! :D

[jessrowe87]

Looks fucken awesome!!! cant wait till it comes out in Australia.

[Wierdassmart]

this is the reason why i have a Wii

love this shiit

[karkasi48]

this gane is awesome

[DarkShadowRage2]

Can't wait for this.
