Years after a pivotal tragedy, Asbel Lhant reunites with childhood friends Sophie and Prince Richard to unravel secrets that could determine the fate of their world.

Tales of Graces f Remastered Gameplay
In Tales of Graces f Remastered, players traverse interconnected locations from a third-person perspective on a field map. While exploring, they can undertake main and side quests and interact with NPCs. The game also features character skits with animated portraits and full voice acting that add more personality to the characters.
Combat, however, takes place in separate arenas and uses the Style Shift Linear Motion Battle System. This system allows players to switch between two combat styles—Assault Artes and Burst Artes. These styles facilitate chaining together combos and adapting strategies to combat scenarios. A resource called Chain Capacity governs the number of actions a character can perform before requiring a recharge.
