Hey, hey, Luceti. This is Jae with a third character, Hubert Ozwell from Tales of Graces. He's (kind of) a jerk, though he means well -- honest! He uses the most ridiculous yet awesome weapon in the game, because you can't spell Hubert without über. He also happens to be Asbel's little brother, the poor kid.

He uses the most ridiculous yet awesome weapon in the game

And what weapon might that be? /curious.

[mistyarc]

A parasol with a conductor's baton attached, it is the best thing ever -- okay, as amazing as that would have been, in all seriousness: It's a pair of double blades that can either flip into a pair of guns or combine into a swallow-type weapon, which can then be used as a bow.

[refinedmaestro]

I was gonna say if Graces was taking weapons from ES, they should have added costumes for the characters. >:[ But rofl, that does sound like an amazing weapon!

[mistyarc]

Either way, they totally should have. Eternal Sonata has such pretty costumes! Games are so creative with what characters use these days.

[refinedmaestro]

I know Flynn in PS3 Vesperia got Frederic's costume, but that's the only thing Bamco has done in terms of linking the game to Tales. They need to do more because the game is so pretty.

[mistyarc]

Sadly, though I admit I was ecstatic to see Flynn in Chopin's outfit. That, and the game can use more shameless advertising. /o/

[refinedmaestro]

I think Bamco has something against ES or something, they've released like little to nothing for it. Sure there was a drama cd, a guide book, and a manga. But they do so much more for Tales, which isn't a bad thing at all, yet I feel ES does need more advertising because so many people I know have never heard of it.

[mistyarc]

I didn't even know there was a drama CD for it. I learned something new!

Eternal Sonata had received a lofty amount of attention in the past with the drama and manga and all, and given its age by this point, it could be that Namco Bandai has moved on. Not to mention, there's only so much they can add via DLC without giving it another actual makeover. Buuut I don't keep track of sales and whatnot, so I can't say much. That's just what I think. At least they paid that small tribute with Flynn's costume!

I do feel it needs to be referenced more often, however. It was my first 360 game, and I don't regret having purchased it before anything else. I rather liked the linearity and the fascinating story.

[refinedmaestro]

This is it! I got it from Yahoo Auctions for like $30, it was on sale too.

If anything, I'd kind of like a sequel or at least an anime/OVA like Symphonia and Abyss got. If they did that, I'd be screaming from the mountain tops in joy. And if you loved the 360 game, I really do recommend the PS3 game if you haven't gotten it yet.

[mistyarc]

Ooh, snazzy. . . . Haha, I like how the soundtrack is exactly 3333 yen.

I'd love an anime or OVA, myself! There would be mountains worth of shininess and sparkles in an animated series, seriously. I would have leaped for the PS3 edition, but I don't have the console to play it on. ):

[refinedmaestro]

Yes, I'd love to see Frederic and the others in animated form. Maybe since they're doing Symphonia, Abyss, even Vesperia for Tales, they'll think about doing it for the other Tales or Bamco games. We can only hope though with Bamco, maybe they'll make a Graces movie or anime or even an OVA? Also, awww. The PS3 is pretty expensive, but I think it's gone down in price recently.
