Stores here in Chile don't get the game till Friday so no ToGf for me till then, on the other hand, I would have been able to play it if I got it today since I'm a bit overwhelmed with homework and projects for uni, but oh well.
Normally stores here do get games at the same time as NA but since this game is probably understocked and not one of Bamco's priorities, shipments are probably delayed or not high in the priority list or something.

Just reached the

end of the childhood arc.

[Zabuza]

I have my copy right now! Gonna go pop it in!!!!

 

[chickdigger802]

So titles.

Should I grind all of them out to 5 stars? Is it worth it?

 

[Dark Schala]

Well, after quite a few battles on Lhant Hill and Lhant Road... I have to say that upon getting into town and talking to people, the NPC dialogue is nicely localized.

Also, if people are finding the child combat boring, try switching to Sophie to get things done faster. You'll have to handle casting First Aid yourself, but it isn't that difficult.

[Easystride]

Should I be keeping old weapons and armor, or are they safe to sell?

 

[kayos90]

It's not an inconsistency.

Spoiler

闘技島 = Warrior's Roost
ライオットピーク = Riot Peak

Former is the island, latter is the tower.

Ah, I misunderstood then. I apologize.

me want know same

doing to 5 takes a while whereas 3 is a good stopping place. a lot of the important stuff are lat level 3 so you definitely want to get those. everything above that is extra though. It's all choice. How do you want to customize your character? See the stats and you essentially choose.

 

[kayos90]

Sorry for the double post.

You can also go beyond 5 stars by the way to "Master" titles. And yes, there's a benefit to grinding them out, some titles get unlocked that way.... though don't be shy about switching titles up if you want to learn a title that has an arte first or whatever.

I have another stupid question, earlier on in the game it said something about sidequests being somewhere. Where do I go to view them? I pressed X too fast and missed it...

 

[Disgaeamad]

I recommend getting them 5, because the stat boosts you get are pretty essential, and some of the skills unlocked at 5 are great. Of course, for some titles its best to just leave to later as you prioritise others, but it is worth it in the end.

 

[scy]

Carta are given to you randomly from the sparklies, so they can take a while to generate if you aren't lucky enough to get one on the first shot.

"YAY SPARKLIES" -> "GODDAMN ANOTHER NAIL" -> "AHHHHH MORE NAILS"

Repeat for an hour.

 

[R_thanatos]

after 3 hours of amazon refresh it now says "shipped" ..i can finally do something else to pass the time. See you all in 10 days when i'll receive my copy for real..

Totally going on memory, but I think it might be Library ➡ User's Guide? It's in the library somewhere, anyway.

 

[BY2K]

The Child Arc is quite a bit longer than I originally though.

 

[chickdigger802]

huh. it's telling me to meet up the guests at the manor guest chamber, but the guard says I need to talk to the dad. Where is the dad?

nvm triggered something outside.

[dakkumauji]

Finally Mr.UPS showed up with my game. Or more like left it outside the door without even bothering knocking.

But, just gotta finish up some homework and other assorted stuff before I can finally play~

 

[Dark Schala]

Heh. I'd forgotten how much I liked the childhood skits.

They're nicely localized too. Even if I have personal gripes with a few things in this game (but that's cuz I've been stuck with the JP version for a few years), 8-4 localizations are generally top-notch and I like 'em a lot.

Question:

Do Asbel and Sophie call him "instructor" in English, or do they call him by his name? So used to just calling him Kyokan off-hand.

"YAY SPARKLIES" -> "GODDAMN ANOTHER NAIL" -> "AHHHHH MORE NAILS"

Repeat for an hour.

Reminds me of what I had to do in Xillia for those damn Black Feathers.

I'm currently

Spoiler

About to enter the cave under Lhant hill with Asbel, Sophie, and Cheria

I'm loving the combat so far, though I want to have a bit more CC so I can experiment more with comboing between A and B artes. I feel like I go all B or all A every combo.

 

[spiderman123]

Just got this game, anyone know where I can grab a online game guide.

Edit: English Version

 

[vall03]

just read the PS Store update, what are these "Various add-ons" for Tales of Graces?

 

[Lulubop]

Is this game being sold in a very limited quantity?

 

[Chris R]

I hate this thread. Nowhere locally had copies, so ordered from Amazon :< Won't be here until next week sometime though.

STOP hyping up games gaf, gosh.

 

[RurouniZel]

I hope we get the Idolm@ster costumes.

I want the Miku costume myself.

 

[ULTROS!]

Got my first trophy for completing the first arc, yay.

Do I need to complete the collection/discovery guides to get a trophy?

 

[chickdigger802]

Hmmm... is it just me, or tilting to sidestep is not really responsive?

There's a timing to it. Also costs 1CC.

How far is everyone?

I'm 7 hours in.

I'm in the seaside cavern. I just found out Asbel's father died and he gave up his Knighthood.

Thats it for today. When do you get to play the card game?

how come you're playing?! I thought its hell week?!

 

[chickdigger802]

ahh that's probably why.


btw: I'm still a bit confused about CC. I'm not too sure why "CC+7" or w/e pops up, and why sometimes I have 4 CC, but sometimes 6 or w/e.

 

[BY2K]

Ugh, having basic attacks and artes on the same button is confusing a bit.

I'm too used to the Vesperia/Abyss/Symphonia way.

 

[RPGCrazied]

I think it might be easier to master titles in a 2nd play-through. Cause titles can carry over via the grade shop. I'm sure its safe to assume all the skills within a title will be kept and carry over?

 

[ULTROS!]

how come you're playing?! I thought its hell week?!

I completed 80% of my work before I touched Graces.

I work fast haha.

 

[Aeana]

I'm glad you guys are enjoying it. I got the game, but I'll not be playing it any time soon, unfortunately.

 

[gashikunFLCL]

You have a range of CC like 4 CC~6 CC, you begin the battle with 4 CC as you land hits the blue bar under your hp goes up, when it's filled up you get +1 CC going to 5 CC, and then next to 6 CC, after your maximum CC you go back to your minimum CC, getting hit by enemies can make you lose CC too.

The "CC+7" are recover you get, so insted of waiting to recover CC you do some action that does this, like sidestep at the right time, hitting an enemy that has been stuned, etc.

ahh makes sense. This feels so different from symphonia folks games. Gotta play a bit more .. smart lol.

Yeah, once you get used to it, you find it's much more fun than Attack button x 3 -> Basic Arte -> Arcane Arte -> repeat.

 

[gashikunFLCL]

If I remember correctly, you're right. Since the skills are tied to the titles.
