This will be the first game to be remastered under the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/tales-of-graces-f-remastered-is-only-the-first-step-in-the-tales-of-series-remaster-project-that-will-revamp-older-titles-for-comfortable-playing-on-modern-consoles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tales of series Remaster Project<\/a>, which aims to bring the 30-year-old series\u2019 early titles to modern platforms.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With 17 mainline entries between 1995 and 2021, many Tales games are only playable on past generation consoles. The recent announcement of the Remaster Project has sparked a lot of excitement for the already revealed Tales of Graces f Remastered, as well as hope that beloved entries like Abyss and Xillia might be getting their turn next. But the Tales of developers didn\u2019t have an easy time getting to this point. In a recent interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.famitsu.com\/article\/202409\/17174\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Famitsu<\/a>, series producer Yusuke Tomizawa talks about the team\u2019s efforts to bring back the Tales series\u2019 classic titles in chronological order, as well as why they ultimately gave up doing so.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tales of Graces f Remastered - Announcement Trailer\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4sXM9ZrVG-Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think it would be more pleasing to release (the remasters) in the original order of the series, but there was a period when, due to various circumstances, trying to stick to chronological order too much made us unable to release anything, and it&#8217;s a frustrating memory for us.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomizawa doesn\u2019t give details as to why the chronological approach didn\u2019t work out. However, he explains that experiencing difficulties made the development team switch to prioritizing titles that had the highest potential for release. He comments, \u201cIn the long run, I think that releasing as many titles as possible is what will make everyone happy,\u201d suggesting that the team\u2019s change of priorities will allow them to deliver more remastered titles in the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The developers also mention that comments from players, especially on social media such as X, have had a big impact on their choices. \u201cFans\u2019 requests are the best indicator for which titles to remaster. Tales of Graces F\u2019s announcement was a result of our overall assessment (of fan feedback).\u201d Tomizawa explained. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1125\" height=\"698\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1125px) 100vw, 1125px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240828-36112.jpg\" alt=\"Tales of Graces f Remastered\" class=\"wp-image-36117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240828-36112.jpg 1125w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240828-36112-380x236.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240828-36112-768x477.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As an aside, the Tales of series producer addressed another point that everyone\u2019s curious about \u2013 whether there will be a brand-new Tales entry for the 30<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary. Tomizawa does not reveal any specific details, but comments that their development, production and marketing teams are \u201cmaking milestones towards a new title\u201d and working hard to deliver a \u201cgood announcement.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tales of Graces f Remastered is scheduled to launch on January 16 for the Nintendo Switch, PS4\/PS5 and Xbox Series X\u2758S\/Xbox One.
