All the characters are fun to play, even Cheria. Point blank Lightning Bolts are fun.

wasn't much of a malik fan though... too slow.
I feel like each time Arc Rise Fantasia's voice acting is raised, this needs to be posted as a reminder of the level of bad we're talking about.
Milla is a little dull, but it's not quite this level.
Malik was pretty fun to use too, but yeah you have to get used to his slow startup attack animation. Despite that, getting four attacks off then spamming super-high level spells like Eleth Burst and Culling something and Dragon Sword thingy. In fact, one of my favourite things to do is spam that Icy Wind spell (?) because it resolves in half a second.

so... what was the real reason why this game took 2 years to localize? Was is just because they completely fucked up wii graces?
I really don't think Wii Graces had anything to do with it.

them not localizing that version seems to have messed up their 'schedule'.

I wonder why ARF is considered the go-to game for bad voice acting when Chaos Wars exists.
Chaos Wars is a little too bad, if not extraordinarily bad, even beyond what is normally showcased on the internet. Like, that clip involving Yuri from Shadow Hearts that floats around isn't even Chaos Wars' final form.

Waiting for UPS sucks. =[ Also really disappointed in what I'm hearing about such a lack of content outside of the main story =\

do we know if the limited edition artbook is a subset of the collector edition artbook or totally different?
Tales of Series are not big sellers for Namco outside of Japan and basically didnt planned releasing the games outside of Japan after weak sales of Vesperia on 360 and Dawn of the New World. Tales of fans basically were boycotting Namco Bandai to get games. We got Graces F here thanks to that I suppose and after that they decided to translate stuff. We got Graces F 2 years after release too so its not surprising we are going to be behind on the localization. Hopefully things pick up.
It's different. CE has more pages and different content.

Its different, look at the cover. Its not hard cover either.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.

Just finished unboxing my day one edition and played a good 30 minutes (you get to the battle tutorial).
I'm liking it very much. The gameplay, graphics and music.

I always do wonder why they put so much effort into localizing these then lol. quality 8-4 stuff + full english va including skits these days.
They are putting effort after the boycotting. They dont want another shitstorm going on their social pages like it happened before.

Oh man thats bad news lol, so I ordered the CE online with fairly cheap shipping so its gonna be awhile until it arrives. When I went to pick up dragons crown/artbook at the local gamestop I saw a pile of the limited editions waiting. I want to be playing this tonight so bad! Been horrible time at work...
Pretty sure this not true. Like... at all.
I dunno, but it's worth it. The skits are wonderful.

outside of skits, tales localizations have generally always been pretty good.
well maybe not eternia's dub.

Definitely, going back to the older games and their silent skits after Vesperia made me sad
Good, because skits are like, 30% of Tales of games for me.

skits and end battle conversations were the only things keeping me from killing myself playing graces
I completely forgot about the skits! Now I am even more hyped to play ToX.
9:00 AM PST yo.

I take it that the DLC codes won't work until they update the store? Cuz mine isn't working.
Is it worth the effort?

Ultros, remember that for the trophy you need only 90 subquests done out of 102. You can afford to miss some.
Late, but yeah, there are. Three subquests in Il Fan.
- Go into the Talim Medical School Student Affairs office. Talk to the man sitting on a bench to the left of where you enter
- Go to the area before the lab and talk to the men near the two lampposts. iirc, one dude is sitting on the floor.
- Where you first started with Jude, there should be a bench with a few students. Approach it.
You must do these before you go to the lab and meet Milla.
...I should've written a subquest guide and put it up on Google Docs in advance. But I was playing stuff instead. But I just glanced at the ones they have on GameFAQs and they're already perfect, imo. Just use those.
Just do it so people don't talk about their misgivings for certain reviews for pages and pages in this thread.
Correct.
The DLC codes should begin working when the Playstation Store is updated later today.
I take back all the horrible things I've said about you in LoLGAF <3

Wha?
Fennmont? That kinda takes most of the naming conventions away from the JP version, eh? Like Il Fan, Ha Mil, Lu Rondo, Ni Akeria, Shan Du, etc. Weirddd. Mind PMing me and telling me the renames for everything else, cuz I liked how the JP version named things in a consistent manner after a while.

The starting city is Fennmont now?
No way I can remember two sets of cities names now.

2weird4me. Knowing several sets of names for attacks is enough.
But nah, I just like the JP naming convention, unless the English version did something special to compliment the JP version's conventions.
Ha ha. I totally do too.

Yeah, I rather like the JP names for the towns. Didn't actually expect them to radically change them for the localization.
Guess I'll just go with describing towns based off their features now. (Not that it's a hard thing to do)

Was there ever a consensus on how the CE is? Mine just arrived in the mail, so I'm not sure whether or not I should keep it.
