Good game meets even Day One Edtition

To make it short: Would the game only very "regular" without giving anything around it, so you would not miss anything. Most utility has the "Art Book" which is about the size of a BluRay-Case. This is a softcover book with almost 100 pages on which next character sketches and -portraits some landscape Artworks, etc. are. Would it be about twice as big and twice as long, it would have been really great! Since this was the highlight of it comes from here, unfortunately all downhill: The "Original Soundtrack" includes only 12 tracks of which perhaps 2 to 3 quite nice (the Battle-theme, for example) and the rest without playing the game is not worth listening to are. The exclusive PS3 theme is practically useless, since one of the symbols and especially the writings can hardly recognize the selected backgrounds. The costumes I have not tested it, but it seemed to me as if they were less than there are main characters. Both the box and the game cover the artwork has been retouched and the title logo drawn in the drawings at the bottom left of the rich to be able to tackle problems USK 12 logo. A turning cover does not exist. Soundtrack, Making of and play are all in the same BluRayhülle, that is actually located inside the box, only the artbook and the envelope, including game content.

Can you still be dismissed as merely unloving the previous content in this form is the "Making of" DVD impudence. Beautiful would first times in principle, of course, a BluRay or just the video to the game disc have been, but that would have to complain at a high level, because it seems to have not even given a quality control. At the beginning you need for German subtitles, the Belgian flag (!) Select and the video, the subtitles are superimposed (the firmly located in the picture) partially with the previous on-screen subtitles, or in a video in some cases even with the same on-screen English subtitles. But the biggest joke of the matter is the content of the "Making of" DVD: Four in total about 25 minutes long Q & A videos one and only with the Tales of producer Hideo Baba, which included subtitles for months perfectly legal in much better available quality and without problems with the subtitles on Youtube. What is missing, however, both the Japanese audio track in the game, as well as a number of DLCs in the store. Five out of five stars, I would for a larger and more extensive art book, an extensive (the CD is still half empty) and better selected soundtrack, a genuine Making of (the best in HD) and a presentation for the Day One Edition, the impression the makes as if someone the game and the Day One Edition at heart, given. So there are only the obligatory consolation star and for the mini-artbook still half. The rest is as I said relatively pointless.

Day One Edition: 1.5 / 5

To the Game
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Compared to other Tales titles like Tales of Vesperia, the Abyss or Symphonia Tales of Graces f has in my opinion the weakest and the weakest action hero squad. The graphics of a next gen console is not worthy, because this is a Wii port, and comes for example, does not manage to connect with Tales of Vesperia. It's still crazy fun Tales of Graces f to play, because in this part of the combat system is the main actor. Are located in the other Tales games, the combat systems are relatively similar and do not differ great (and let's face also relatively boring) breaks Tales of Graces f with many conventions and makes some new, different and usually better. The result is a combat system which for the first few hours Tales veterans is relatively confusing himself, but then when you have internalized it and understood captivates scary and motivated. Above all, the fighting a lot of dynamic, fast-paced and varied than in previous entries.

Am I usually just run from point A to point B to the next story sequence seen in other entries of the series and the fighting was the necessary evil to come then, I now consider myself partly forever in the same areas and fighting on "hard" against enemy hordes. Plus nice touches come as a variable at any time of difficulty, skippable cutscenes and fully set to music chats and you've got a game which is preparing a lot of humor and without outstanding story and characters. And even if the Japanese language edition is unfortunately missing again, the English dub is quite passable. On the details of the combat system as the title system, the SK-points, etc. I am now not received that you will find yourself in the best game out or reads other reviews by. That this country is not all DLC will be available there would still something possible deduction of points, but that's probably not a point of each will be important.

Game: 4/5

Conclusion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The game itself is good thanks to the combat system, but due to the weaknesses of the graphics and the characters just not perfect. Normally I would also forgive without concerns four out of five stars, but Namco Bandai has missed with the Day One Edition for the reasons mentioned and the absence of new Japanese language tracks in my opinion a real opportunity and raised expectations that were not met. Beautiful it would have been to abandon the half-baked frills and instead take advantage of the greater margin at least in part for locating additional tracks. Nevertheless, the game gets from me deservedly, if you ignore the extras and can live with the English Synchro an ...
