Its the same thing essentially. Just runs in higher resolutions since its on the PC. I think a lot of YS games came out in Japan awhile ago on PC, but now they are just finally making their way over here due to steam.

I didn't know all those games were on the iOS. Wish I had money for an iPod touch or whatever the cheapest apple device is to play these games.

Its a port of the older PC version if I recall.

Now if only playing a cave shmup on an i-device wasn't literally the worst thing in this world. lol

I believe that Oath in Felghana, and possibly even 1/2 were PC first, and the PSP version is a port.

Nice deal, $2.99 shipping for me, but $27 for this game is the lowest I've seen it. Trying to decide if I want to pull the trigger *looks at backlog*

Great deal on tales of grace F, but I'll be waiting till it drops to $10-20.

That's low enough on Tales of Graces F for me to bite.

Thanks for the heads up colossus79.

I also bit on TofGF. I would have liked to have gotten it for $20, but decided to just go ahead. It seems fewer places have it. Hope I don't regret it. That sounds cheap, but considering what site I am posting this on... The page said 2 left before I purchased it, so I guess it is down to 1.

Bit on last copy, never ordered from cduniverse are they a good reputable company?

No idea but I bought this from them as well. Confirmation email took a bit longer than I would like to get here but everything appears on the up and up.

Tales of Graces F is a good game if you are a fan of RPGs and the type that are more action-based than Final Fantasy 7 or 8. Similar to Star Ocean.

Graces F is the best playing Tales game by a landslide, combat and subsystems are finally fully realized for their 3D engine. Story is on the lower end of the scale, but when you're playing a Tales game it's a pretty shallow scale anyway.

I heard Xillia picks it up more with the plotting, compared to past games, but the gameplay suffers compared to Graces.

No Xillia does not suffer in gameplay. It actually expands from Graces f.

If you are curious I'm streaming Xillia 2 for child's play marathon. I'm doing practice for tomorrow's stream now. And I hope you guys spread the word as much as possible please.

Will start Practice in 15 minutes. And yes I know japanese enough to give a translation so when we start the stream tomorrow I will be recapping Xillia 1's story then moving on with 2 where my current position is.

That's good that the battle system expands on Graces. That's awesome, actually! I would agree that the overall story in most Tales games is pretty B/B- (Abyss being a huge exception), but the Tales game excel at character development more than any other series or game I've ever played.

I haven't made any orders from CDUniverse in a long while, but I never had any problems with them.

Is Origin worth playing?

I played all the YS games on the PSP and Ark on PS2. Oath was great and Seven was fantastic. I played the demo for Origin and just don't like the PC controls. I'll mostly likely have to get a controller to play it...

Great deal considering that the lowest it's been elsewhere is $40. I bought it immediately since I wanted to increase Xillia's chances of being released here. Could have waited since I have yet to play it, but I'd say it's worth it since it's coming.

Gonna see if Amazon will PM ToGF!
