Bandai Namcorevealed its long-awaited remaster of Tales of Graces f yesterday, but there’s much more where that came from - a new project aiming to bring more of the JRPG series' classics back is in the works.
Yesterday’sNintendo Directbrought news of many fan-favorite JRPG bangers, from aRune Factory spin-offto Tales of Graces f Remastered. The latter announcement was on the minds of Tales stans worldwide for quite a while - so much so, that even general producer Yusuke Tomizawa discusses it in his newmessagecelebrating the longtime series' 30th anniversary. “We had received requests for the remastering of the game from many passionate fans,” the general producer said.
The site mentions a “Remastered Project” in honor of the anniversary that will see past titles revived, but it doesn’t clarify which coming games fans should expect - aside from Tales of Graces f. Tomizawa does, however, state that “a variety of announcements to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Tales” are still in the works, which means specifics will likely come later. Fans are already speculating, though: “I need to see news on Tales of Xillia,” one example reads on Twitter.
Amid countless comments expressing hope for Tales of Xillia and its sequel to leave their PS3 prison, others look to different titles from the past. “I hope they release the other Tales of games that didn’t get a Western release like Tales of Rebirth,” another fan writes online. I’m keeping my own fingers crossed for a remaster of Tales of the Abyss myself - and it seems that I’m not alone, either. “This is cool and all but y’all need to remaster Abyss ASAP,” one Tales fan adds.

After spending years with her head in various fantastical realms' clouds, Anna studied English Literature and then Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh, going on to specialize in narrative design and video game journalism as a writer. She has written for various publications since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she’s not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she’s probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she’s spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur’s Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you’ll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
