The beloved action RPG Tales of Graces f has returned to the spotlight with a remastered edition, now available across nearly every major platform: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Bandai Namco has polished this fan-favorite entry in their long-running Tales series, offering both returning players and newcomers an upgraded experience that still retains the charm that made the original so memorable.
Originally released in 2010, Tales of Graces and its enhanced version, Tales of Graces f, are celebrated for their heartfelt storytelling, fast-paced combat, and a colorful cast of characters. The game follows Asbel Lhant, a headstrong young swordsman, as he and his friends face personal and worldly challenges that test their loyalty, courage, and the bonds they’re fighting to protect. With its layered narrative that weaves themes of friendship and responsibility, Graces f struck a chord with fans of JRPGs, earning its place as a standout entry in the Tales franchise.
The remastered edition breathes new life into the game with visual upgrades, improved performance, and a suite of quality-of-life enhancements to align it with today’s gaming standards. While not a complete overhaul, the updated presentation makes the world of Ephinea feel fresh and vibrant once again, ensuring it holds up well even for those experiencing it for the first time.
One of the key highlights that fans will be eager to revisit (or discover for the first time) is the Linear Motion Battle System (LMBS), a staple of the Tales franchise. In Graces f, combat is smooth and strategic, allowing players to string together combos and experiment with artes and abilities in battles that are as exciting as they are engaging. The revamped visuals make these battles more dynamic, with effects and animations that heighten the action.
For those who never had the chance to play the f version of the game, the remaster also retains the additional content that was originally exclusive to the PS3 release. This includes the “Lineage & Legacies” epilogue, adding hours of gameplay and deeper insight into the characters’ journeys after the main story. It’s a treasure trove of extra material that enriches the overall experience and gives closure to fans who want to see more of Asbel and his companions.
If you need a reason to revisit the game or try it out for the first time, here’s a quick tip: mastering the combat system is the key to success. The LMBS relies on managing your Chain Capacity (CC) resource efficiently – spamming attacks is tempting, but you’ll want to plan your combos and learn enemy patterns for the best outcomes. Experiment with different strategies, and don’t shy away from switching between characters during battles to unlock the full potential of your party.
Tales of Graces f Remastered is now available for purchase both digitally and at retail stores. For more details or to grab your copy, be sure to visit the official website or the game’s Steam page. With an emotional story, fluid combat, and a cast of characters that stay with you long after the credits roll, this updated classic is ready to shine once again in a new era of gaming. Now’s the perfect time to see why fans hold this gem so close to their hearts.
