Tales of Graces F Remastered

Tales of Graces f Remastered is everything a remaster should be: graphical upgrades that make an old game look better on modern platforms, a trove of quality-of-life additions that make the game better while staying true to the original version, and inclusion of all the DLC for the complete package.

Tales of Graces f Remastered is a fantastic action-RPG where an array of quality-of-life improvements make this a fun adventure for both new and returning players. Push through the sluggish opening hours and you’ll find an entertaining tale with characters who are full of charm.

Tales of Graces F Remaster occasionally feels dated thanks to its visuals and limited map, but the unique structure of the plot and fun combat make it a worthwhile addition to the library of any JRPG fan. The characters remain the stars of the show, with more growth and change over the course of the game than we expected. If the frequent but short load times don't get in your way, it is easy to sink dozens of hours into this adventure.

Over fifteen years since an initial release, Tales of Graces f Remastered is a lovingly executed refresh of a series classic.

Tales of Graces f Remastered presents the ideal way to experience this enjoyable entry in the Tales series. While I can’t promise Graces will revolutionise your view of the genre, I can assure you of an enjoyable time in the company of an entertaining group of characters, coupled to a battle system that gets your adrenaline flowing. Just like Sophie, the memories you create in your time here will be worth the journey.

And if the somewhat clumsy combat system clicks on top of the endearing characters and fun story, you’ve got a lowkey banger on your hands.

Tales of Graces f Remastered does a great job improving the original's excellent gameplay with quality-of-life improvements and new options, such as the Grade Shop being available from the get-go, providing an experience that is fun right from the start for returning players. While the main story may not be particularly engaging, the charming cast and the outstanding combat system make the remaster a worthwhile purchase for newcomers who never had the chance to experience the PlayStation 3 original.

A classic brought to modern platforms, there's no better Tales game to remaster than Graces f.

Tales of Graces f Remastered frees the PS3 classic from its console exclusivity, bringing one of the series' best entries to modern hardware.

Tales of Graces f Remastered's most compelling feature is its combat system. It's a serviceable JRPG experience, potentially appealing to younger players disinclined towards turn-based systems. While its emphasis on "the power of friendship" may resonate with this demographic, older gamers will find the narrative lame and its character motivations underdeveloped. Although the writing occasionally exhibits weaknesses, the narrative does offer moments of genuine emotional impact.
