Bandai Namco has uploaded a new Tales of Graces f Remastered trailer this morning that works to highlight lots of the quality-of-life enhancements the updated PS5, PS4 versions include on top of the visual upgrade. The JRPG is now also available for pre-order on the PS Store ahead of its 17th January 2025 release date, priced at £34.99 / $39.99.
Over two minutes of gameplay footage documents new destination icons on the overworld map to help you much more easily work out where to head next, the ability to toggle enemy encounters on and off, and the chance to instantly retry a battle if your party is wiped out from the menu screen. In addition, dialogue after a successful fight now has subtitles.
The battle system has also been updated with the ability to switch between styles during combat, both move and dodge in all directions, the continuous use of artes and skills, and an Accel mode that speeds up encounters.
Finally, more than 80 pieces of DLC — most of which are costumes and attachment sets for characters — will be bundled in with the base game for the PS5, PS4 remastered edition. A digital Deluxe Edition is also on offer for £49.99 / $59.99 which gives you access to a battle BGM pack, the digital artbook and soundtrack, and a super growth support herb set. Through the digital soundtrack, you'll get a total of 112 songs from the game.

The best tales game just got better, woooow
Not sure where else to write this, But has anyone else heard about Xbox are meant to be in talks with Sega or Square Enix and a supossed acquisition. I don't believe myself but can Push square get any validations to this claim.
Looks really nice. I've always wondered which tales games are considered the best since I don't have that much experience with the series?
@Czar_Khastik You can't really go wrong with any of the main entries, but I'd still say that Vesperia is the best game in the series. It's usually on sale for dirt cheap, too.
@Czar_Khastik Vesperia has one of the best stories and cast. Graces is when the combat started coming into its own, the cast is mostly great too. Berseria knocked it up a notch in a lot of ways, and got real edgy (in a good way). Arise has perfect combat, highly recommend it. My favourite classic Tales game is Eternia.
Berseria is my favourite. I just love the characters and character skits in that one. Magilou is so annoyingly superb.
@Bentleyma Tnx, I just put Vesperia on my watchlist. It's 25€ for a physical PS4 edition which is really well.
@NathanCox Nice rundown of the entries, thanks. I've seen Eternia a bit. It released as Tales of Destiny 2 on the PS1 in the US and as Tales of Eternia on PSP? Both of them are the same game?
@ApostateMage Berseria and Arise are the ones I've seen the most around since they are from the PS4 era. Both of them look really good actually.
What about Symphonia and both Xillias? Anything good about them?
I always feel like I've missed out when it comes to the Tales series. Might pick up a title and give it a whirl one of these days.
@Oram77 Might be some sort of publisher/investment deal, I highly doubt it's an outright acquisition as they've just recently been to court over their last splurge.
But who knows, they DO have f*ck you money so I might be wrong.
@Czar_Khastik I've only played the first Xillia game but it was great. To be fair I don't think I've ever played a bad tales game.
@Oram77 pretty sure won't happen tbh probs bs. I'm on Xbox myself and remember rumors a while back saying they were guna buy sega n sega said they not interested in been acquired.
What's this one like anyone help? Not much choice on Xbox but played tales of arise when it came to gamepass and enjoyed it is this one as good or better? Worth buying?
Lol the $20 upgrade for digital artbook and useless items
I wonder if the level up bonuses and devil artes are included, the latter is available in game but could be bought as dlc to use earlier.
Still no word on how having access to the grade shop straight away is going to work? Are they just going to offer max grade if you want it or is the shop's buffs going to unlock as you go?
@Czar_Khastik For me, the best Tales is Tales of Destiny because i really like the characters and story.
But if you wanna start with Graces, i say go for it. I personally think Graces combat is really fun and the peak of the series. The characters and story also pretty good.
Definitely getting this. I bought it on PS3 but didn't get that far (and my PS3 broke ages ago). I emulated it too but again, random stuff got in the way and I didn't make much progress. But what time I did spend was really enjoyable. There's something really charming about the look, feel and tone of the game. I like how it starts out with the main characters being kids, too. Makes you feel more attached to them.
Jesus BN Tales of the Abyss is the Tales game you should be remastering
My second favourite Tales game, first being Vesperia and third being Xillia 1. A welcome remaster and appreciate the quality of life additions.
Xillia 1 and 2 when?!?!
