[Tales series] I’m replaying Tales of Graces because the remaster came out.

Japan Otaku Reviews+

Everyone is harsher on Asbel after his growth than I expected, and it’s really unbearable…

Asbel is reflecting on his actions, so please forgive him…

2: Japan Otaku Reviews

The result of abandoning my childhood friend, who is about to die, and also abandoning my younger brother who was put up for adoption.

It can’t be helped.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

In other words, the unembellished range really only works out at the very end, so it feels like I’m constantly watching things not go well.

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s harsh to think that Aspell would have to part with his parents at such a young age, but he’s still okay since he sent a letter to his younger brother.

I really can’t defend anything related to Sheria, you know.

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

At first, I think both Sheria and Hubert interacted with Asbel as if he were the old bully from their childhood.

The person has become more mellow than I expected and is reflecting deeply, so they aren’t saying anything back…

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

The moment a girl who doesn’t take a bath joins in, the suffocating scenario gets shattered.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

To be frank, the parts of Graces and others are much more tense and exhausting than what’s often said about Abyss.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>7

It was tough for Hearts until Beril arrived…

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>7

I think Beryl, who joined that group and facilitated connections without any particular ties, is the strongest communication character in history.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought I was undergoing a fierce training that pushed me to the extent of not being able to even return letters.

Are you really having enough of a youthful experience to be good friends with the ice cream shop kid?

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is the instructor still sane in the early stages…?

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>10

Since I entered Strata, I’ve started to think, “It’s okay to mess around now…”

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

It’s mostly my father’s fault regarding my brother, about 80 or 90 percent.

That aside, from Hubert’s perspective, it would be understandable for him to feel like asking you what the point was in being adopted for his beloved elder brother if his brother isn’t succeeding as lord.

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>12

That said, it resulted in becoming the lord’s deputy of Rant and driving Asbel out.

Hubert achieved the results as instructed by the country, but…

It seems like you’ll end up regretting it alone, somehow.

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I’m the only one who can defend the early game run! I’m the only one who can protect Richard! And the targets I’m supposed to defend are just bouncing around.

There are things that you can’t see easily.

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

It was you who effectively killed Kohaku, right?! So Jisui’s anger is completely justified…

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

In other words, even after the tension was eased and we became friendly, it’s just a continuous cycle of chasing after Richard and being unable to help him, and Sophie is feeling unwell, so overall the story isn’t going well and remains dark all the time.

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

The feeling of tension is so real; it’s not like I’m being attacked, but rather it’s painful to feel disappointed and as if I’m not expected.

From there, the atmosphere keeps getting better, so if you play until the end, it gets overwritten with the impression of a close-knit party.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

This younger brother… his talent is on a whole different level…!

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

Abyss has an insane instantaneous wind speed, but after getting a haircut, everyone tends to reassess quite quickly.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

Sofia, Rantu, and Richard are all lost, and Sheria won’t say anything…

24: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

>>21

Yay! Hooray! Tropical yay!

28: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

>>24

A woman who doesn’t read the air is a relief…

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

We just talked about our dreams together with the girls every night…

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to protect you, I am being protected, even when we can’t meet.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

The interactions and chat have a lot of comedic elements, and because of the hidden dungeon, it ultimately feels like a bright work.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>25

Wasn’t the hidden dungeon supposed to be completely dark in terms of setting?

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>35

It feels like they’re trying to activate the ultimate weapon to absorb a ton of Erese and somehow deal with the situation because Lambda is in a bad state.

Somehow, I hacked it and it worked out…

27: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

As a reaction, the later story is incredibly brighter.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

Pascal is always energetic, isn’t he…?

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

Eres has returned, and I’ve paid the money, so I forgive you…

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hubert is getting married.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder what Cheria was really thinking when she reunited with Asbel.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think there is a feeling of, “I sent the letter, but it hasn’t come back…”

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not like I was training at knight school with a bloody struggle; I had lots of friends and was very popular.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>34

It can’t be helped if I lose to Hubert…

After spending seven years on it, Asbel isn’t that strong, huh?! I guess there’s nothing that can be done about it.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>34

Period of being popular.

You should be popular.

Young man.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, both Graces and Hearts have their early story issues caused by the final boss, but at that point, the one to blame is the protagonist, so it’s no wonder things get tense…

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

Because they are brothers from Tales, I thought there would be a fierce love-hate mixed fight to become part of the team, but Richard was too preoccupied with other things and smoothly joined as a little brother.

I laughed at the fact that there’s no opposition even after becoming the boss.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is this guy using CC1 with a drawn sword?! That was surprising, Asbel.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>39

The sword drawing and sheathing techniques are quite technical for a protagonist.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

My little brother was also getting along well with the jeweler’s kid.

44: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Asbel was also enjoying his youth, but it wasn’t like he was just playing around…

Well, trying to run away from home and become a knight does seem like I’m just goofing off in a way.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>44

That said, the future lord receiving knight training on-site is not necessarily a mistake either.

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>44

This time, I promised to become strong enough to protect everyone, and just when I thought I had become super strong, my little brother was already so far ahead that he couldn’t even step on my shadow, which is not good.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

Beryl’s master was also terrible…

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>46

Isn’t it normal?

47: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

By the way, my younger brother is receiving world-class education and training, and he’s an overwhelming elite in his age group, so it’s not like he’s being held hostage by maids or being abused or anything like that.

In other words, Rion is really lucky.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s the knight school that won’t teach me the secret arts that’s to blame.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>51

Do you want to learn? Eternal Serenade and the Heavenly Shattering Light Wind Destruction Divine Punishment Active Killing Drama.

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s strange that when you’re on my side, you’re just paper, but when you’re the enemy, your specs are insane.

Where did the you from that time go?

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>52

I want Sophia and Pascal, who start one-on-one battles with the instructor or chat, to always fight with their status during hostile times.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

A man who could not protect anything as a child will become the man who can protect things in the end.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s somewhat ironic that, despite being the main character, their growth seems to be at a level where they would have probably lost and died against the early dogs if it weren’t for Sophie’s buffs.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though it’s quite an achievement to be recognized by the instructor, why is your little brother so strong…?

Strata doesn’t have the same Spartan image as Vendel.

72: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>57

I think the position of being a foster child who has to produce results and the rebellious spirit born from being abandoned are both intertwined.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

The early game dog can’t be helped!

It’s originally strange that a violent star monster is around here.

61: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Asbel, who went to knight school, was properly leveling up normally.

My younger brother was power leveling in the military…

62: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Little brother has a cool combat style like a popular character, and since I’m a super genius recognized by the military, it can’t be helped.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

My younger brother is just too much of a genius…

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since the funeral blade has the violent star, if I do my best, there might be a chance…

What kind of knight school teaches that technique?

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>64

For that reason, there aren’t any enemy knights using a burial blade…

65: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I think the one at fault is my father for not choosing my younger brother as the lord.

68: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>65

In childhood, choosing between a timid younger brother and an energetic older brother is impossible!

87: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>68

Being energetic doesn’t necessarily mean you have the qualities of a lord…

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

What kind of knight school teaches swordsmanship?

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>66

He’s got some unusual techniques up his sleeve, even more than just swordsmanship…

Look at that instructor’s secret technique!

74: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Well, that’s not really…

>>69

I didn’t want to have that curriculum, so I studied it after becoming an instructor.

Are you stupid?

99: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>69

Which one…?

70: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>66

It’s a school where the instructors use blade techniques…

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>70

Instructor Victoria practices spear fighting, and while she tends to rely too much on brute strength when digging up large rocks…

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

I mean, that guy was perfect before marriage, but since then he’s done nothing but negative things as a father.

As a result, that has also become a negative point for me as a lord.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

If I had made up my mind, I should have been able to endure even the Unstandvales.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

What should I do from now on…?

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

The weapons of the instructors are too eccentric for a knight school!

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

Asbel was also seriously training at the knight school.

After all, the knight school was nothing more than child’s play.

77: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Hubert was just angry or because he was adopted…

If I wasn’t thrown away, being adopted doesn’t mean I’m being oppressed.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s been a while since I’ve done this, but the childhood part is way too long… way too long.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>78

The inability to use special moves makes the combat aspect unsatisfying.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, it’s not surprising if they become stronger than their younger brother after repeatedly engaging in actual combat, even if they couldn’t defeat something like Vender’s machine head-on during that losing event.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the end, it’s a story about how the protagonist was able to protect others, so it is intentional, but thanks to that, in the original version, Asbel doesn’t have a very reliable image.

In that respect, the additional story is really reliable.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

Asbel is strong in gameplay, but in terms of narrative, he is surpassed by his younger brother both academically and athletically.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

The combat is exhilarating, but the story is consistently dark!

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

According to the instructor, they seem to be the type that grows through actual combat, so it’s likely they have improved significantly during the game.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to try a Tales game set in a school setting…!

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, there is a revenge scene in the late-game skit event, after all.

I think if I had seriously trained in the same environment as my younger brother, I would have become at least equal to him.

89: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Even when forced to power-level in the military, my brother, who perfectly copies everything without giving up his hero otaku spirit, is amazing…

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

Richard’s response is also reactive and late…

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>90

It is indeed more difficult to deal with someone who moves on a national level by themselves.

I really can’t protect anything until the very end.

96: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>90

The main story is just a repetitive cycle of endlessly chasing Richard, where not only can’t I help him, but things keep getting worse and he keeps escaping.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought it was a bit too easy for my younger brother to smoothly join in and make up.

Well, the root of it is that you really love your older brother and you’re a good kid, so that might be how it ends up.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s true that Hubert was superior to Asbel.

If I hadn’t been adopted, I would normally give up my position to my brother and not become the lord, Hubert.

94: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>92

Isn’t that okay in its own way…?

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

Asbel has a considerate childhood friend with big breasts.

I can’t forgive you…

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

Big breasts…?

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>97

Do you want to be popular?

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that most works have their moments of not having a good atmosphere, but I feel like Berseria had quite a good vibe.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>98

After hitting rock bottom, the only option is to claw your way back up.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>98

Tempest has a pretty good atmosphere.

It’s just too thin in volume.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

The combat is enjoyable, so I didn’t mind the heaviness of the story that much.

It’s really flashy and good from around “Hakudo Metsufu.”

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

The instructor might think that the boomerang is a secondary weapon, but actually, it’s a bayonet technique using a rifle, isn’t it?

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s just really incomprehensible to have a completely replicated combat style with weapons from anime and still be strong.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

Could it be that that knight school doesn’t teach proper swordsmanship but rather focuses on developing individual combat styles…?

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>107

A person like a female knight was using a spear.

The people in the knight school don’t have much of a sense of unity.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>107

None of the instructors use a typical western sword.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the original Graces, there seems to be a strong feeling that there aren’t enough named enemy characters.

Well, it’s not like it’s an organization that is an enemy of humanity, so it can’t be helped, but even so, there aren’t any enemy executives or anything like that.

112: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>110

Suddenly betraying and then suddenly dying explosively, Road to Popularity-san.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>112

Motero started running suddenly, you know…

111: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Since Berseria is an outlaw group, it would be the worst if the atmosphere is bad.

113: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

In the beginning, Asbel is not clearly hated, right?

I’m just being thought of as someone who is no longer disappointing.

117: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>113

It was harder for you.

114: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I wonder if it’s because I’m independent and not part of a group like Uncle or Kurt or Motelo, that I feel a lack of human enemies.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>114

Indeed, throughout Berseria, Arthur has consistently been the enemy…

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

There is no one like the Four Heavenly Kings, right?

There are only a few clearly problematic people, like the Richard assassination uncle.

My younger brother’s adoptive father wasn’t such a bad person either.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>115

Just because it’s not bad as a family doesn’t mean they’re not a bad person, after all.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

My brother and the instructor became so tough that they wouldn’t die even if a CPU was used on them.

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

That’s nice, isn’t it?

What should I do…?

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

When Richard gets angry, his wide-eyed expression is so funny that it makes me laugh.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are hardly any pure villains in Graces.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>121

How about Uncle and Motero-san?

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

The instructor is an amazing man who does throwing knives because there are too many participants for the swordsmanship class.

123: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I can understand why Barry would want to curse, but don’t say it directly…

Also, after that, you should reflect on the fact that Shelly was kidnapped right away.

130: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>123

Because from the outside it looks like I ran away seven years ago and then, as soon as the military attacked this time, I pushed everything onto my younger brother and disappeared somewhere, I’m just incompetent…

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought about it again, but isn’t the additional scenario for F quite unnecessary?

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>125

I don’t care, I want to fight.

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>128

It’s not just a superfluous addition.

You’re giving me the accelerator, right?

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>125

I don’t think so, but I feel like there are people who do think that way.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>125

In just the main story, Asbel really isn’t a reliable older brother…

127: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Even Asbel abandoned being a knight and came back, but there is no one who considers that.

If it’s said that the karma from my childhood is coming back to me, I can’t say anything.

135: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>127

You threw away your dreams and determination and came back, and now you’re back again? Huh.

Is it really treated to that extent!?

133: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Custom weapons that mimic manga, combat styles that imitate manga, and various other otaku hobbies.

This guy was living a pretty fulfilling life, one way or another.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>133

Asbel is often the butt of jokes, but his little brother is pretty bad too.

That being said, this person has some ridiculous talent, doesn’t they…?

134: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Just the fact that Richard is having fun as a companion makes the story valuable.

I was being teased for my facial expressions and “Tomodachi Iii,” but I honestly just felt sorry for myself.

138: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Looking at it again, this guy is just too much to be a father.

Without informing him at all that he was going to be given to his younger brother as an adopted child, they made it all ridiculous by not even allowing them to say goodbye, as if to say they would never meet again.

“When you get angry and say ‘You never teach me important things! You’re always pushing me!’ what kind of attitude is that towards your father! That’s not good… If it’s usually like that, it’s no wonder Asbel would grow up thinking he doesn’t want to become a lord…”

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>138

Because you’re Asbel’s dad, right?

144: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>140

Once you get it in your head, you can’t stop, it’s similar, right…?

It feels like the complications with my brother have lingered and manifested in the worst possible way.

139: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I also like that in the epilogue, they are building a good relationship with Lambda.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>139

It’s nice how Lambda is having a conversation like a template tsundere…

141: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I’m really surprised to see a story that hasn’t been going well for a long time in the main part.

142: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Asbel, who is arguably the most incompetent protagonist in history, is lacking in substance until the ending.

143: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>142

I think it’s better to stop turning hearsay into big words.

145: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>142

It’s not that there’s a problem with their personality like Yuri; they just lack ability.

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>145

It’s not that there are no issues with their personality to begin with.

Although it is a good thing,

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

The main ending was quite bland, so personally, I don’t dislike the epilogue ending.

In the end, it feels more like, why didn’t they do this in the main story instead of wrapping it up with Asbel, Sophie, and Richard?

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

In Graces, the final boss isn’t the top of a large organization or anything like that.

It’s a really powerful guy that moves around on its own, so I seriously can’t keep up with its movements.
