Now I have no idea. I thought I knew where the plot was going, now I have no clue. Damn did they upend things well. And with superb anime cut-scenes no less. I am officially intrigued.
Darth Howie said: This is not one of the harder Tales games by any stretch. Graces was much harder. The battle system's more fun though. If I want a challenge, I have SMT IV.
