Jude is a brawler that uses Gauntlets with some healing artes. He's fast and hit's hard. Kinda like Sophie from Tales of Graces F.

I prefered Graces F battle system as it was faster then Vesperia and at the highest difficulty even with maxed Fell Weapons and 200 Lvled characters the Super Bosses still took so much micro managing to defeat in Vesperia which isn't bad but they just moved so slow...

Patty is actually not that sterotypical (you also get Flynn) although if they even did localize (never happening but anyways) I have a feeling they'd butcher her in localization as the jokes she makes ARE childish. It's hard to explain without playing the game and some knowledge of Japanese, basically she's actually…

I agree I hate the fact that you can run far enough for enemies to just forget about you... that should not happen...

Tales of Graces F (NA) - 230,000

I'm having a blast with it, and I probably haven't unlocked all the systems yet. I can't wait for the high ougi's whatever they're called in this game. Although linked artes are pretty damn fun.

One of the things I've always been worried about with the increasing power of the consoles is that so much will go into graphics and making photo realistic worlds that some smaller but equally important things get forgotten.

I did it still doesn't really make alot of sense. Anime style RPG's are just a small segment of RPG's actually and even in Japan they are relativly niche. I think the FPS comparison is rather dumb as military shooters, Sci Fi Shooters, or really anything out of Epic as all has there aesthetic differences but so does…

It's a combination of Graces F and Vesperia. It has a TP system (Mana) like Tales of Vesperia/Abyss however it also has a AC Point system like Graces F. Unlike Vesperia where it was insanly easy to run out of TP here you can do that but after a few regular hits its back to about 1/3 full so you can pull off Arte's…

They don't for one... just look at two JRPG's coming out TODAY Tales of Xillia and Dragon's Crown they couldn't look any more different... then expand it to Final Fantasy with there high res CGI or the Soul's series more gritty flavour you see MASSIVE differences in JRPG's.

Okay as I was reading this and making comment's I left my game running and I suddenly just heard Jude "Got to admit sometimes its fun just spacing out a little bit".

Jude is a brawler that uses Gauntlets, Mila is a Mystic Sword type.

It didn't do poorly it was just Namco's old executives insane expectations for a niche JRPG that made them think it did poorly. Vesperia sold 280,000 copies (NA) which was a "failure" while Graces F sold 250,000 copies (NA) four years later which was a "success" what was the difference? Expectations Namco finally…

Does this mean there is no cooking in the game? That's kind of disappointing...

I've been playing Shin Megami Tensei IV and man that game is a challenge. Also once you get to Tokyo it's literally like being thrown out into the wilderness with the instructions "find this person" nothing else to go on. Although I must say I've been avoiding the help book as much as I can. I did the same with…

With some trade in's I got my Vita for 125.00 plus a free memory card. The system is great also those Japanese development support is great although it could use localization support as well... Namco looking at you...

Totally true the difference between some games on the 3DS is stagaring. I mean compare Kingdom Hearts 3D which not only blows any other Kingdom Hearts game available right now out of the water but most 3DS games as well, then look at say Tales of the Abyss and you can see straight up port.

I agree it's just kinda funny with each game people complain about them over sexualizing her too. I mean last game when she had her Valkyrie get up on the cover people were saying she was too sexualized because of her thigh. I guess the Director just said if they'll complain about that lets go all out and give them…

Ummm... Mangaka don't have "anime deadlines" they have manga deadlines. As in they need the storyboard to the editor by a specific day each week so the manga can be printed in the magazine. No mangaka ever follows an anime makes deadline.

I make the argument manga is not like comic books its like limited short run stories or serialized novels like Batman Year One or The Dark Knight Returns. They are self contained stories that have a liner progression and continuity that cant just be rectconned or changed like X-Men did a few years back when too many…
