Ultimately, Tales of Graces f Remastered is a game of peaks and valleys. For some, the combat alone will be enough to carry the experience while they ignore the narrative. For others, the characters will carry an otherwise average and unsatisfying plot.
While some issues from the original version persist, such as questionable level design at times, the various quality of life improvements make the experience more accessible and enjoyable.

Tales of Graces f Remastered is very well done and it’s a joy to play, but the age of the game is still noticeable, both visually and audibly, despite being sharper than ever. Nevertheless: for a long-time fan of the series, it feels like home to be back, even though there are no major changes.

If I told younger me that he hadn’t played the complete version of this game, he would ask me two things. First, “who are you?” and secondly, “got any sunflower seeds?” You thought he would call me a liar? Nah, he’s played enough Stein’s Gate to know slightly what’s up. But I digress, getting to revisit what I believe is number three in my list of best entry in the Tales of series was a great reminder of what I love and miss the most about the series. I know the people who played the original will enjoy going down memory lane when playing. While newcomers will see the peak of what the battle system for this series can reach. Now, got out there with you bag full of Purple Gels and don’t skip the skits….please. I give Tales of Graces f Remastered the Thumb Culture Platinum Award
Tales of Graces f Remastered is one of the best titles in the series and the new version only helps to improve the experience even further. In addition to being a game that will please those who already know the franchise, it is also perfect for newcomers who want to enter the world of Tales. May Bandai Namco view the success of the relaunch positively and may this mean a possible return of other classics from the franchise, like perhaps, who knows, the other Team Destiny titles that are exclusive to Japan.

Despite my misgivings with this particular port, I adored my time revisiting Tales of Graces f. I’d need to see if a Tales of the Abyss port is in our cards to fully decide, but at the moment I think this is the Tales game for me. I’ve caught the bug again, and I really want to comb through this series’ back catalogue. This is probably the best Tales remaster we’ve gotten so far, even if there are parts I wish could have been improved further. As the first title in this Remaster project, however, this is a promising start. If you’re interested in playing this and really want to dive into the battle system, you should probably play it on any other platform. If you’re here for fun vibes, the Nintendo Switch version will do you fine enough.
The Remaster also contains the F arc, an epilogue that adds story content, more character development, and new gameplay features. From its moving storyline and memorable characters to its captivating mechanics, Tales of Graces f Remastered will please a wide range of gamers, from series veterans to newcomers seeking a rich JRPG experience.
