Poll: PS3 players, are you getting tales of graces f?

[Olivia Faraday]

Yeah, I'm a big Tales fan, so I'll be getting it on release. The series has a lot of flaws but it's really fun, great unique combat and engaging if silly storylines.

Ever since their disastrous idea of putting Vesperia as a 360 exclusive (A JRPG didn't sell well on the Broshooter console? Shocking) and how mundane Abyss was, I've been waiting for a decent Tales game on a console that has more than 2 games I care to play on it, so yes.

I've been waiting for Tales of Graces to hit American shores for about 2 years now, so.....hell yes I am.

Preordered, paid for...now I play the waiting game.

Ugh, I hate that art style.

Proportionally, it looks like a bunch of kids playing dress up.

Why can't men look like men? Why do they always have to look androgynous?

Just as a comment on this, many women find more slender and boyish men more attractive than hypermasculine ones. Unlike Western games, which try to appeal mostly to male ideals (super masculine men and skinny big-breasted women), Eastern games make the men appeal to women and the women appeal to men.

Taste is, of course, varied, but I like the sentiment and think that it sounds fair. I have no problem with hypermasculine men, exactly, but I do have a problem with characters of both genders only appearing to one. I like a variation in character designs, but I admit, I'd much rather look at the heroes from a Japanese game than the ones from GoW. If female character conform to male standards of beauty, why shouldn't male character try and appeal to females?

Again, I'm not saying this is what every single woman alive likes.

That was Microsoft's push in Japan for the 360 console that really didn't work. I wish they would release the ps3 version of Vesperia outside of Japan. I would buy it again with all the added content.

No, I mean, why can't the male characters look like guys, instead of gender ambiguous children.

A dude can look like a dude without being a space marine.

Take Spike for instance, he's still slender, but actually looks like he surpassed puberty.

Vergil from Devil May Cry also fits into this type.
