Tales of Graces f, the beloved Japanese role-playing game originally released for the PlayStation 3, is making a triumphant return with a remastered edition for the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. This new and enhanced version features a wide array of quality-of-life improvements, along with significant visual upgrades. The remastered edition captures the imagination of fans and newcomers alike with its rich storyline and engaging combat system.
Bandai Namco unveiled the Tales of Graces f Remastered through an exciting new trailer, showcasing more than two minutes of gameplay footage. The trailer reveals important enhancements made to the gaming experience. For instance, new destination icons have been added to the overworld map, making navigation significantly easier. Players can now locate their next target without repeatedly consulting maps or online guides, enhancing the flow of gameplay.
Another major update is the added flexibility in combat encounters. Players have the option to toggle enemy encounters on or off, allowing for a more tailored approach to gameplay – whether you’re in the mood for uninterrupted exploration or engaging battles. Furthermore, should your party be defeated, there's no need to load a previous save; you can choose to instantly retry the battle from the menu. This reduces frustration and downtime, keeping players in the action.
The enhancements extend to the combat system itself. Players can now switch between styles mid-combat, move and dodge in all directions, and continuously use artes and skills without interruption. An Accel mode has also been introduced, which speeds up encounters, making battles brisk and more exciting. Additionally, dialogue after successful fights now comes with subtitles, ensuring players won't miss out on important post-battle banter and information.
For those looking to dive deeper into the world of Tales of Graces f, Bandai Namco has included a lavish bundle of extras. The base game comes packaged with over 80 pieces of downloadable content (DLC), predominantly consisting of costumes and accessories for characters to enhance cosmetic customization. Moreover, a digital Deluxe Edition is also available at a higher price point, offering extras such as a battle background music pack, a digital artbook and soundtrack, and a super growth support herb set. The digital soundtrack alone includes a whopping 112 songs from the game, a treat for fans and music enthusiasts.
With pre-orders now live, Tales of Graces f Remastered is priced at £34.99 / $39.99, making it an accessible entry point for those new to the series or veterans looking to relive the adventure in enhanced form. The Deluxe Edition, which includes additional content, is priced at £49.99 / $59.99 and offers a richer experience for dedicated fans.
