The official website for the recently announced Tales of Graces f Remastered has confirmed that this enhanced release is not being handled in-house.
Instead, Tose Co., LTD is developing this port, contrasting Tales of Symphonia Remastered and Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition. Bandai Namco Entertainment Romania developed the former, and the latter was Bandai Namco Studios Inc.
Tose is credited with countless projects and has a generally positive reputation, though they aren’t always credited for their projects.
At the very least, their official website lists their work history, including the recent re-release of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the Dragon Quest Monsters series, Scarlet Nexus, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII—Reunion, and much more.
Hopefully, this results in Tales of Graces f Remastered being a solid port since the launch state of Tales of Symphonia Remastered was unacceptable.
Tales of Graces f Remastered will be released on January 17, 2025, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox, and PC via Steam.
This standard physical release in the West costs $39.99. However, it’s worth noting that only the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 will have physical versions, while the Xbox and PlayStation 4 releases will seemingly have digital-only releases.
The Digital Deluxe edition will feature the full game, a digital art book, a digital soundtrack with 112 songs, the Battle BGM Pack, and the Super Growth Support Herb Set. Additionally, pre-orders, regardless of whether they are digital or physical, will grant ten Appel Gels, Grape Gels, Life Bottles, and Panacea Bottles.
The digital art book is an excerpt from the “Tales of Graces Official Complete Guide” published in 2010 and the “Tales of Graces f Official Complete Guide” published in 2011.
This entry is the tenth mainline game by Namco Tales Studio, with Tales of Legendia and Tales of Innocence being the two exceptions. Tales of Graces was initially a Japan-exclusive Wii title released in 2009 before it received an enhanced re-release known as Tales of Graces f for the PlayStation 3 in 2010. The West would receive this updated iteration over a year later.
