Just a little something from Hideo Baba, the producer of the Tales series!
Looks like he's really pushing the Western market this time around. He even got to advertise Tales of Xillia in New York's Time Square!
Not sure if you knew or not, but when you get the cameo costumes (including most of the DLC ones) like Rita's costume, the battle music also changes to a battle theme from the game which the cameo is from.
I think the Rita costumes is this, but I'm not 100% sure.

Hubert's Flynn Costume plays Fury Sparks, but it's a DLC costume.
One thing I love about Tales games is every game is always have great references to past ones.
I think at least, Graces F has the best game play of all the Tales games. The combat system still gives me that rush 260 hours into it.
I also was a little apprehensive in the first hours as well. The story in general is overall not very engrossing or engaging and the childhood arc honestly is a terrible introduction to the game, both in terms of story (the childhood arc is so cheesy) and gameplay (I felt so limited with 4-5 CC). Some people find some of the characters grating, but I didn't have that problem.
The combat really opens up once you hit the 10+ CC. Once you open up the Mystic Artes and learn some of the more advanced artes, it's a thrill.
If you want a taste of what awaits you in the mid-late game, check out the video link below the Graces boxart on my profile.
I really liked the latest episode, easily the best so far, most likely because it focused on solely on Rikka. Nibutani was also pretty awesome, pushing them together!

So far... I have Minami-ke, Ore Shura, Sasami-san and of course, Kotoura-san, but I have some free time later tonight to catch up on some others.
What about you?
You will know why after you've seen it.

Unfortunately, I'm busy with my studies to go to watch it at the international showings.
From people who watched it, one friend sent me a message thing that sent me crazy.
"Blu-Ray version, but better"
