@ShogunRok no worries; thanks for the info! I got the game regardless, because I'm a Tales freak now (since Tales of Graces). It's a bit jarring how simple the battle system is when the game first starts, but I quickly recalled how long it took Graces to actually open up its battle game mechanics, so I'm assuming the same is being done here.
Honestly, so far I'm liking the graphics on PS4. Very colorful and decent textures; best looking Tales game so far albeit at a PS3 graphical level.
@ShogunRok I read that there were a lot of technical issues with the PS3 version of the game (e.g., bad battle camera angles and severe pop-up). Do you know if the PS4 version resolved any of these issues?
@DominicanGlory I completely disagree with you that the Tales games are just button mashers. I've played JRPGs since early Final Fantasy games, and the Tales series (specifically Graces and Xillia) have some of the most unique battle mechanics and creativity I've seen in a long time. It may feel like a button masher if you're playing on a lower difficulty setting, but crank that up to the highest difficulty and I dare you to try and beat any boss with just button mashing.
