Tales of Graces f Remastered Reviews
As a huge fan of the Tales series, Tales of Graces f Remastered is the ultimate way to experience one of the more thought-provoking and emotionally intriguing stories in the franchise. The quality of life improvements of this remaster not only serve to keep the series relevant, and greatly make up for some of the game's bigger shortcomings, such as its slow opening act, and a padded-out end-game, but it is also an exciting study into what the franchise's next remastered project might look like.
JRPGs like this don't come very often. The plot charges ahead at a brisk pace while the well-written characters develop through the web of deceit. The sheer quantity and quality of the combat and the variety it offers will have RPG fans feasting for a long while.
Tales of Graces F Remastered is a worthy return to one of the more underrated entries into the series for a brand new console generation to enjoy
Overall, Tales of Graces F Remastered is an almost perfect remaster of a highly beloved title that provides an excellent gaming experience despite its few flaws.
Tales of Graces F Remastered is a game that might leave you somewhat indifferent if you look only and exclusively at the graphics. However, the numerous internal improvements, the novel options and the smoothing out of the edges typical of jrpg's of the old era, may bring a new audience to the saga or attract all those who for some reason skipped over this good and perhaps under-celebrated chapter.

Tales of Graces f Remastered is a solid JRPG for young gamers who think turn-based gameplay is boring. The saccharine friendship themes will bore most older gamers and make their skin crawl, but it does have some genuinely heartfelt moments. Some of the writing is sloppy and the motivations are weak. If you’re a little kid, it may resonate with you.
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.
Tales of Graces f Remastered is the second refresh of a title from the acclaimed jRPG series from a quarter of a century ago. Despite the fact that against the background of its series the game is nothing special, it is a very pleasant production, which is worth returning to, or giving a chance, even if it is the first time you play a production from under the Tales logo.

A worthy remaster of a good JRPG. It didn't significantly update the game, but that wasn't really necessary – the story, characters, and deep battle system still make it one of the best in the series.

All told, Tales of Graces f Remastered is an impressive game, with some of my favorite game characters and gameplay in some time. It looks and runs like a dream on the Switch, too, which made for a wonderful visual experience. Reportedly Bandai Namco is looking to remaster more of the Tales series, and after Graces f Remastered, I hope we'll see those sooner rather than later.
Tales of Graces f Remastered is a great RPG that does everything right with a compelling story and battle system. It's a must-play!
Overall, Tales of Graces f Remastered is a strong remaster of a solid game. The plot is relatively weak but handily carried by its extremely strong combat system, which makes the game worth playing on its own. The additions to the remaster are all genuine improvements, and even the bundling of cheat-mode DLC is only a problem if you let it be. If you're a fan of action-RPGs or the Tales franchise and haven't given Graces f a gander, this is the ideal way to play it.
Overall, Tales of Graces f Remastered is a good RPG with an interesting story and characters for which you will love to root. If you have not played this game or want to jump into it again, then this is a must-have to add to your list of RPG titles.
Tales of Graces f Remastered features one of the most interesting storylines in the series and a bunch of mechanics that make it thoroughly stand out. As long as you can enjoy very linear structure, this remaster is a great RPG to spend time with.
Tales of Graces f Remastered marks the much appreciated return of one of the best combat systems in the entire series, supported by an amazing cast of characters and a decent enough story. A must-play for fans of the series who haven't played the Wii or PS3 editions of this entry, but various QOL improvements make this a very valid option for veterans who feel like reliving Asbel's adventures.

Tales of Graces f Remastered represents the best opportunity to rediscover one of the most underrated chapters in the historic Bandai Namco series. Beyond a technical aspect only marginally pulled together, the comprehensiveness of the content and a rich set of quality-of-life improvements enhance an aged combat system with elegance and harmony. Story and characters continue to be as controversial elements of the work today as they were fifteen years ago, yet highlighting how at the time perhaps the judgment was far too austere in this regard. If you want to recover a little gem of the genre (and if you especially want to appreciate its indiscernible historical importance), now is the time.

Tales of Graces f Remastered is a JRPG which delivers a good story overall, fantastic combat and a good character building system outside of combat and one that will keep you occupied for a long time. If you're expecting new and improved features over the PS3 version then you won't find that however you will have access to all content from the get go.
Tales of Graces f Remastered is a good JRPG with a story that lasts more than 30 hours and offers a pretty good experience, but it shows its age strongly.
