Tales of Graces F Demo

It's currently up in the Japanese PSN for those who don't have it yet.

Overall, it's a pretty neat demo. It took me a while to get used to the CC system, because I've never played a Team Destiny Tales game before. This demo did take me a while to beat, since I wanted to see how all the characters played like because all of them are available for use with all of their BCs unlocked. Also, this game looks freaking amazing in HD. My only complaint is the demo is a bit short, but hey, it's Bamco.

Wait... so does this mean it's coming in English? Not that what language it comes out in would stop me from playing it, but it'd be nice to understand what's going on.

Supposed to have 50% more content than the previous game or something, so I've read. There's no official word saying whether the US will even get a US release (correct me if I'm wrong). But TotW:RM3 is going to come out, so people speculates that TotW:RM2 might be released for the US. /shrug

Took me a while to get used to the CC system and side stepping, but the game is gorgeous. Going to import it probably since I don't have much hope Bamco will actually bring this to the states.

Buying a PS3 and importing this baby, yeaaaaaaaaaaah. Can't wait to see if there's a new character, or if they've improved the viability of characters that aren't Asbel.

Which reminds me, did they change Cheria, Pascal, and Malik's left/right Artes to have two different ones, or is it still just one Arte?

Hell yeah imports! I'll do this too and probably never play it because I don't know enough Japanese, just like I did with Vesperia.

 SUPER SPOILERS BRO

From what I'm given, I'm led to believe the story will revolve Sophie trying to cope with the fact that she's basically immortal since she's an android, and Asbel will one day die.

I'm not 100% sure how this new purple haired character plays into this. The speech basically goes "Everyone will die some day. It's a very sad, and scary thing. I want to be saved. This uneasiness can't be helped. Your heart seeking salvation, I'll heal it for all eternity. I will return all of your pain. When it's all over, let's go together." or something like that from what I understand.
Asbel: "Even now, there are times when I think of my father like this. And there are times when I can feel his thoughts too. I want to connect his feelings with the future."
Sophie: "Connect... to the future..."

Sophie: "Let's stay connected forever, okay? From now on and forever."
And then I pineappleing hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggg because it's Hanazawa Kana. A nut bladder was lost in the watching of this trailer.

Video shows some new out-of-battle action scenes that are post-Wii-ending, which are really well done.

Showcases some of the new Accelerate Mode, which is the new meter above the character portraits in orange, as well as two new Burst-Style Artes from Asbel, which look freaking amazing. 昇竜氷舞 (Shouryuuhyoubu, the double rising ice dragons), 活心鋼破 (Kasshinkouha, which looks like his CC3 Right, but with blue lines), what looked like one new Arte for Hubert, but it didn't make sense since his entire Artes-Style is full, and all his Burst-Style are in katakana, and the two new Blast Caliburs for Asbel, and Sophie, 天覇神雷断（Tenhashinraidan), シャードウ モメント (Shadow Momento?) (everyone has new ones though).

You can see a bit more on their website. I'm hoping for an eighth playable character, since as great as Richard may be, he's a man. Really only feeling this because the Character section only has pages for Asbel, Sophie, Cheria, Malik, and Richard.
Under System, it shows all the character's new Accelerate Modes.

Can't wait for some wall papers.
