Despite the frankly enormous song list, I don't think Future Tone is the best Diva. The arcade mechanics don't translate well to the Playstation controller, and Extreme mode is RIDICULOUSLY hard. I played on Extreme mode in all previous Playstation Diva games and yet I find it impossible it in this one. It makes me feel like a noob even though I've been with the series for a long time LOL. It's great that we get so many songs, but I hope they go back to making dedicated Diva games for the Playstation consoles instead of just porting the arcade mode again like they did with the Switch one.

That said, on Hard I do still find this game to be very fun and I appreciate that we have just so many songs to play, despite the poor balancing and other weird changes. (I miss the old Hold notes and "double" notes!) The module customization is also great! It's fun to be able to mix and match hairstyles with costumes. Also, points for Tricolore Airline because Tricolore Airline <3

Graces is criminally underrated within the series. The story is cliche, but whatever. What we're REALLY here for is a) the best battle system in any Tales game hands down, and b) Asbel and Richard's relationship. I don't even have to write the fanfic. It's all there, dudes. This game literally has a whole epilogue where they try to convince you Asbel is straight and it still failed.

ALSO, Sophie is my beautiful daughter and Cheria is a sweetheart. Pascal is questionable at first but she gets really good as the game goes on. Malik is alright. TBH I liked Hubert as a kid but as an adult I think he plays the devil's advocate on Reddit.

BUT LIKE THE GAMEPLAY????? It's so good. I adored the battle system. So underrated, this game slams, we love Graces in this house,

I didn't like this entry quite as much as Hitman 1 in this recent trilogy. A huge part of the fun of this series is the locations for me, and with two of the levels taking place in a suburb and a weird, nonexistent island with a kinda corny secret club, I didn't find the locales as intriguing. Florida and Mumbai were super fun, though. Still very solid gameplay and the story picks up! I just felt that the final two levels fell a little flat compared to the exciting locations we had previously seen.

My fiance had been bugging me to play this game for ages, but I didn't really get around to it until they finally bought the collector's edition of this Switch remaster. I am glad I waited for this better edition, and I am also SO glad I finally played this game.

This is easily one of the most beautiful games I have played. The locations are stunning, vast, and creative -- the first time you see Satorl Marsh at night, you'll really think, oh, wow. This game is gorgeous. And the soundtrack is absolutely to die for. I have been listening to it nonstop...in fact, I am right now...

But beyond just the lovely visuals and sound, this is one of the rare JRPGs where I truly love every single party member. They are genuinely all great characters with charming personalities and a close bond that ties them all together. None of them ever got on my nerves, not even the cutesy mascot character -- actually, I LOVE Riki and I think he is adorable! We love that Dadapon!!!

The story seems predictable at first but it gets buckwild as things go on. About 2/3 of the way through I was yelling WTF at my TV. And the combat is so fun! It takes a bit to get used to the battle system, but once you do, you will be kicking ass.

Overall, I cannot believe how good this game is...actually, OK, I can, because many people had been telling me it was great for a long time. But I'm so glad I experienced it all in a more refined form, and I would encourage any JRPG fan to do the same. This game RULES. Now, if you'll excuse me, I am busy jamming out to Mechonis Field...
