Obvious Tales of Graces F Teaser Image Watch 2011 continues: Permutation Cherry



The purple "F" in Graces F is starting to stand out again, the main change this time is the return of the Pac-Man ghosts.

If this turns out to be Pac-Man related not Tales of Graces F, then... well...

Announcing a remake of Drakengard would be the most fitting excuse to troll people ever. I think you're onto something here.

I used this method when doing an achievement run.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCJ8BTQpyR8&fmt=18

After failing at the usual method for an hour this one worked on the first try.

Okay, that helped me get a better sense of what I need to do. Though even with this, out of four tries, I only got to get a clear shot about three times with all of them failing. (Actually five but that doesn't really count since Estelle kept screwing it up as explained further on.) It wasn't until the third time that I noticed that I was using Rainsong rather than Rain because the weapon Raven had equipped enabled the Crucible skill. :bang:

It also didn't help that Yaeger wouldn't loving stand still and always kept attacking screwing up my approach and tearing me a new one. On top of that, I had to manage healing and recovering from status effects since I can't have Estelle set to healing because otherwise she attacks Yaeger and screw things up. Plus, Yaeger has the lovely effect of causing status effects at what seems to be at the most inopportune times like when I'm in over limit and discover to my dismay I can't use artes which is further compounded when one of my teammates had just used an item.

So anyways after unequipping the weapon, I got the achievement, in the same fight that I noticed the problem. But Goddammit this took a LOT longer than I had expected. I'm not going to feel great for work tomorrow.

But seriously, who's loving bright idea was that achievement? I feel like punching them in the face right now.

Look at this snail.
I don't really talk about Vesperia often, but if Estelle is attacking, you change her tactic to "only use magical attacks" or whatever it is in English, then disable all her offensive spells. Then she has no choice but to heal, even if she's not set to heal. Makes you glad that Tales of Graces has a "don't attack" command. Doesn't stop Cheria from making some terrible choices, though. One of my hopes for Tales of Xillia is better AI, for your allies and for the enemies. I know. I must be dreaming.

Look at the Tales logo on the left hand side of the screen, you can see pieces of it on the far right hand side of the image as well.



Yes. It's this.

Just what the gently caress is going on Namco?! Did I secretly die and this is my own envisioned heaven or is Namco seriously teasing Tales of loving Vesperia now on top of Graces F.

Andriasang has the new fully translated details of Tales of Xillia that was revealed this week in Famitsu. It's a pretty nice read.

How can anybody think those character designs look good? jesus christ.

That said the gameplay looks really cool for this one. First time one of these games has interested me, mainly because the main guy isn't a katana wielding anime boy (he's a gauntlet wielding anime boy). They should have localized this one.

Seriously though, if turns out Namco finally got the long awaited "remove head from rear end" surgery it so desperately needed, I'll be ecstatic.

Then we can start complaining about Xillia and Abyss 3DS!

If this actually works then threatening to fan translate something is apparently the most effective tactic ever. That, or Policenaut's avatars. When that "Nobunaga, but a cat" game gets an English release it will baffle the media for years to come.

Bandai Namco localizing both Tales games just to spite the people who dare touch their games without their consent would be the best thing ever.

The girl looks very silly but there's nothing that objectionable about the guy's outfit (for a JRPG, at least).

They're going to bundle all of their announced games into one giant package worth $400, and then complain again when people don't buy it.

I mean of course there's the slim chance that Bamco noticed there was a largely done initial pass of a translation and bought it to lower their costs... but this is Bamco we're talking about here.
