HeroDelTiempo17 04/01/12 5:15:00 PM #14:	Luke is the slower character, yeah, but since I played fairly evenly between Lloyd and Kratos/Zelos in ToS I didn't notice or care for any difference in speed. Guy's speed is comparable to Lloyd's, maybe even faster. I will say that there's a lot less variety in TotA than ToS. Abyss had Guy, Luke, and Anise/Natalia were if you hated yourself.

Xiahou Shake 04/01/12 5:45:00 PM #46:	Honestly, from all I've been hearing, Xillia seems pretty underwhelming compared to Graces. Only one Mystic Arte per character, wonky battle system, and apparently very few side quests and a pretty bad story (from what I've heard). Graces is probably my new favorite Tales game, and I'll just be happy if the series gets back to having regular releases in the west, but still. >_> -- Falcon Punch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFtw7qW7Vcw <cite>Xiahou Shake posted [p:976273] in Almost don...

swordz9 04/01/12 5:48:00 PM #47:	I'm not sure how I'd rank the characters in Graces just yet. Partly because I haven't finished and partly because it's tough to actually rank them. Skit/after battle/sidequest stuff is great for them, but almost everybody is average in terms of plot dialogue and in some cases their plot dialogue makes them less good. -- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 <cite>swordz9 posted [p:976274] in Almost don...
