Wow, these are simply awesome. There's absolutely no build up, and it go straight into a fast paced series of attacks. An each hits gives you a feeling, thinking, "They're F*cked"
Holy..... Yeah I momentarily lost all of my advanced vocabulary of which to describe how awesome these Hi-Ougis are. It's like Tales of Vesperia Hi-Ougis taken Up to Eleven.
No, but last I heard that it was getting localized in EU. Perhaps this may be a sign that the U.S will get it. Possible actors Veigue - Cam Clarke Malik - Crawford Wilson Asbel (child) - Brianne Siddall Asbel (main game) - Yuri Lowenthal Hubert (Child/Main Game) - Vic Mignona Sophie - Michelle Ruff Pascal - Caitlin Glass
@zehaha BC's are done more in real-time so that they don't feel like cutscenes amidst a battle. The short duration also keeps the battle pace going--especially compared to some of Tales of Abyss/Vesperia's mystic artes that take up to 20 secs to finish.
These are the "literal" translations for Asbel's Blast Caliburs. BC Level 1 Juuha Goshouzan (fracture 衝斬 roaring beast) BC Level 2 Byakuya Senmetsuken (annihilation Sword Midnight Sun) BC Level 3 Zankuujin Mujinshou (dust-free cutting empty opposition Zan)
Wow... that's an awesome way to kill a boss. Too bad it isn't sorta special in the end when you kill the boss with a hi-ougi (similar to Yuri but more flashy?). Anyways thanks for the HQ vid of this. Was probably waiting forever for something like this. Now to see if anyone subbed any skits. Thanks!
The best hi ougi line up so far in the series, why? first, all of the hi ougi are original (except for Critical Blade) so we don't need to see anymore character using indignition, sacred blame, or satsugeki bukoeken, second, ToG manage to bring the epic style of ToD,ToD2,ToR,ToH hi ougi in 3D environement
@darkemg actually the voice actor for Yuri in english announced that namco had already done the voice work for the PS3 ver. of the game and said how he was confused as to why namco hasn't announced it for the states yet.
That may not seem like much, but add them up during a boss battle, and they take up a bunch of time. The average length would be about 5 minutes. Executing 3 mystic artes (something very common in vesperia and abyss) already takes up a minute. So 1/5 of the battle was spent basically watching a cutscene...
Well, I'm not going to say I dislike the other style cut-ins, because no matter how they do it, it usually adds to the epicness. But I agree 100%, and I thought the same with Destiny too. Actually, now that I think about it. People should compare these to ToS:DotNW's Mystic Artes. No complaints anymore~
Rumors say Europe will get this game this year, although it was said it was supposed to be around this time. Still, an English release sounds likely. Perhaps we will see something at E3? Here's hoping.
@AbyssalChronicles oh, thats a cool little feature for the final battle, hopefully somebody will translate what theyre saying, that, or wait for almost a year for a u.s. release to find out, btw do ya have to use a 3rd level BC to hear the quotes, or does it trigger with any BC?
@GrandRayCero Because they are epic and full of win. When you see a hi-ougi, you think of how awesome it would be to actually use or see it. It's the same with me.
There's something that I'm curious about....out of all the Hi-Ougi/Blast Caliber Exhibitions I've watched on youtube, yours is the only one that has Sophie say, "yosh" at the beginning of her Level 3 Blast Caliber.
Despite them having no english translations, did you ever give Destiny (Remake) or Hearts a second glance? Destiny and Vesperia for example are worlds apart in presentation and combat, but both appeal to me for slightly different reasons. Keyword for both being "fun". I'd say Graces does a good job of bringing the best from both, and well... I suppose Blast Caliburs do go by a little fast, but it's just to keep up the pace. =/
Nice video, I think the fast BC allows you to keep on the combos, making the game pretty active and considering the Battle System, I think its almost perfect. Sorry, just a question, does any one have played ToG on a 4.2U Wii, using Gecko OS? Does it work? :S
@RigedForFalure Isn't Tales of Destiny RE considered a mothership title too? Also, we never got Rebirth which was also a mothership title on a successful platform (PS2).
Well, I personally liked pictures at the begining. Because stopping the move at the climax of a Mystic Artes and replacing it with a picture looks weird to me...
@Bobownzall1 you can't spam abilities whenever you want, there is a system, but I'm not exactly sure how it works. They will most likely not release in America and even if they did, they are not changing the elements of the game and giving us TP.
Um, they've used cameo characters before that weren't English releases. See: Nanaly in Tales of the Abyss. And Radiant Mythology had quite a few Japan only characters. If the game doesn't come out here, it won't be because of that.
@TalesOfOurFantasy I wouldn't really call it an improvement if its something they already did previously but then dropped until this game. Blast calibers were awesome for the destiny remake but then it gets reintroduced into yet another game I doubt we'll see localized.
I know this sound stupid, but when Fredrick does his blast calibur, the person who hits Asbel along with Fredrick, that person looks similar to Aston Lhant, Asbel's father! Of course I could just be mistaken :(.
I just have to say this but like the 2nd enemies' BC is kinda on the plain side compared to every other persons, even the cute chicken has one that looks more flashy xD, oh and yay for za warudo!!!
wow... even the butler fights pascal and sis summon from other games there's a flying chicken and im still not even sure about what kind of weapon hubert uses...
@LJkAze I think that the Team Destiny games are some of the better ones. Sad that we don't get them. But if we got it I can see alot of people complain about how different and challenging the game is from other entries in the series.
If this gets released in the US, great. If not, I can deal with that. I still have to finish Vesperia, so it might good if we don't get this Tales game. I don't really care for the story or characters that much this time around.
Perfect as always Nore.
Whoa. Really blows the old meaning of epic away.
Watching this is giving me the repeated goosebumping. =S
I love how everyone's speech changes for the final battle.
Wow, these are simply awesome. There's absolutely no build up, and it go straight into a fast paced series of attacks. An each hits gives you a feeling, thinking, "They're F*cked"
God i love the Blast Caliber at 3:27 its just so well made and its cool as hell especially for a young girl thats also a boss.
I hope this game hurries up to America. It's one of my most anticipated games.
It's one of Team Destiny's little quirks. :P
EXTREMELY flashy and unique hi ougis that don't take a lot of time.
Holy.....
Yeah I momentarily lost all of my advanced vocabulary of which to describe how awesome these Hi-Ougis are. It's like Tales of Vesperia Hi-Ougis taken Up to Eleven.
gees the people that made the mystic artes and blast cauliburs were really into the high speed action my eyes kinda hurt x .x
I LOVE Hubert's last one! Slash, slash, stab BANG BANG BANG BANG!
This game has so many references it's hilarious xD The only ones that really stand are Asbel's random spin kick in his Lv3, Cheria uses za warudo u.u
No, but last I heard that it was getting localized in EU. Perhaps this may be a sign that the U.S will get it.
Possible actors
Veigue - Cam Clarke
Malik - Crawford Wilson
Asbel (child) - Brianne Siddall
Asbel (main game) - Yuri Lowenthal
Hubert (Child/Main Game) - Vic Mignona
Sophie - Michelle Ruff
Pascal - Caitlin Glass
Woah, I blinked and missed about four of them XD it was going so rapidly!
Tales of Graces..
Probably the one reason id get a Wii...
Whoa....
Seriously, that was just epic....
Blast Caliber is back! 8D And awesome hi ougis/BCs
@zehaha
BC's are done more in real-time so that they don't feel like cutscenes amidst a battle. The short duration also keeps the battle pace going--especially compared to some of Tales of Abyss/Vesperia's mystic artes that take up to 20 secs to finish.
These are the "literal" translations for Asbel's Blast Caliburs.
BC Level 1
Juuha Goshouzan (fracture 衝斬 roaring beast)
BC Level 2
Byakuya Senmetsuken (annihilation Sword Midnight Sun)
BC Level 3
Zankuujin Mujinshou (dust-free cutting empty opposition Zan)
I think that Asbel is the most serious swordsman in the "Tales of" series.
Wow... that's an awesome way to kill a boss. Too bad it isn't sorta special in the end when you kill the boss with a hi-ougi (similar to Yuri but more flashy?).
Anyways thanks for the HQ vid of this. Was probably waiting forever for something like this. Now to see if anyone subbed any skits. Thanks!
...That just blew my mind apart!!! O.o
Woah they say different things against the final boss....cool
The best hi ougi line up so far in the series, why? first, all of the hi ougi are original (except for Critical Blade) so we don't need to see anymore character using indignition, sacred blame, or satsugeki bukoeken, second, ToG manage to bring the epic style of ToD,ToD2,ToR,ToH hi ougi in 3D environement
Awesome. I can't wait to get my copy. I'm waiting since the 8th december :(.
@darkemg actually the voice actor for Yuri in english announced that namco had already done the voice work for the PS3 ver. of the game and said how he was confused as to why namco hasn't announced it for the states yet.
Pascal: kyupi~n!
Asbel: EVERYBODY, RUN AWAY
So Kohak makes an appearance in the game? That's awesome.
It came out already? o.o
Man I can wait to get this...
OMG this looks so awesome
OMG. Byakuya Senmetsuken is so sexy xD
Nice fast paced Blast Calibers. Feels good after the Glyph Energy Pillars of previous games.
Yea, he's one of the cameos for Graces.
That may not seem like much, but add them up during a boss battle, and they take up a bunch of time. The average length would be about 5 minutes. Executing 3 mystic artes (something very common in vesperia and abyss) already takes up a minute. So 1/5 of the battle was spent basically watching a cutscene...

Actually, now that I think about it. People should compare these to ToS:DotNW's Mystic Artes. No complaints anymore~
sweet!Everyone has more than one!
Malik's 3rd Blast Caliber is like Tetra Spell.
They're a LOT faster than ToDr. I get it that the hardware is improved (Wii vs. PS2), but these are the fastest BCs in the series BY FAR.
Ah, fun stuff. Want this game.
Nintendo: The Wii is supposed to be for casual games!
Tales of Graces: FUCK. THAT.
1:19 The snap was so pimp
I will not ever think twice buying a Wii if this gets localized. I mean, I get to play two Tales Games if I bought that console, Symphonia 2 and this.
Malik's lv 3 Blast Caliber is like Tetra Spell.
Rumors say Europe will get this game this year, although it was said it was supposed to be around this time. Still, an English release sounds likely. Perhaps we will see something at E3? Here's hoping.
Watch out for the chocobo!
*ducks*
Whew.
lols, it does look pretty damn similar. Nice catch.
@AbyssalChronicles
oh, thats a cool little feature for the final battle, hopefully somebody will translate what theyre saying, that, or wait for almost a year for a u.s. release to find out, btw do ya have to use a 3rd level BC to hear the quotes, or does it trigger with any BC?
@Nekodice No. The spirits are Grim Sylphie, Syan Deem and Blood Flamme.
@GrandRayCero
Because they are epic and full of win. When you see a hi-ougi, you think of how awesome it would be to actually use or see it. It's the same with me.
O_O amaaaazing!
stops time
throws knives
resume time
looks really familiar
3:47 Isn't that Reala from Tales of Destiny II? Awesome Hi ougi by the way!
There's something that I'm curious about....out of all the Hi-Ougi/Blast Caliber Exhibitions I've watched on youtube, yours is the only one that has Sophie say, "yosh" at the beginning of her Level 3 Blast Caliber.
I love Asbel's Byakuya Senmetsuken.
@darkemg Luckily the game is going to be released in EU this summer. So that's great from importers/homebrew users! :D
That guy with glasses shoots an arrow like Ishida Uryuu from Bleach : )
@pieoverlord
U.S gamers are getting the extended version of Graces. That is; Tales of Graces F
How is Hubert such a wuss as a child and ends up being so awesome?!
1:16 Toki yo, tomare!
WRYYYYYYYYYY!
i had a really strong urge to yell "KUREEAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" at about 3:15 XD
Huberts(the blue haired guys) level 3 blast caliber is second to Asbels.
Despite them having no english translations, did you ever give Destiny (Remake) or Hearts a second glance?

Sorry, just a question, does any one have played ToG on a 4.2U Wii, using Gecko OS? Does it work? :S
1:20 she pulled a friggin Dio Brando
too...epic....to....handle....
Just hope the NA release isn't missing half its content like ToV.
@Orpheus73 you're right :D
i love it...
playing it the third time
4:05 she pulled ANOTHER Dio Brando
Pascal! HE-PIINNGG!! :DD
Hubert: Used Quincy Arrows from Bleach o-o;
Cheria: Used Selphie's overlimit; The End??
xDDD SO FAST :D
0_o is the game THAT fast as far as the battling? 0_o I mean these go by faster then heck is coming to earth 0_o
@RigedForFalure
Isn't Tales of Destiny RE considered a mothership title too? Also, we never got Rebirth which was also a mothership title on a successful platform (PS2).
CLAAAAAIREEEEEEEEEEE
Well, I personally liked pictures at the begining. Because stopping the move at the climax of a Mystic Artes and replacing it with a picture looks weird to me...
Cheria's 3rd Blast Caliber reminds me of Rutee's Embrace End.
@Bobownzall1
you can't spam abilities whenever you want, there is a system, but I'm not exactly sure how it works. They will most likely not release in America and even if they did, they are not changing the elements of the game and giving us TP.
What's with the trend of four-eyed archers, anyway? First the Quincy, now this.
I remember that, but is that all? Oh well Blast Calibers seem to be much intense and fast paced compared to previous Hi-ougis I'm used to
It all happened so fast. :x
Um, they've used cameo characters before that weren't English releases. See: Nanaly in Tales of the Abyss.
And Radiant Mythology had quite a few Japan only characters.
If the game doesn't come out here, it won't be because of that.
when i first saw that chicks cut-in at 2:25, I thought it was martel from Symphonia D:
@zehaha
takes up a minute. So 1/5 of the battle was spent basically watching a cutscene...
@TalesOfOurFantasy

BLAST CALIBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH!
@tk97898
U.S - It's currently in the localization process
Europe - No word as of yet
That game is the best Wii game, even if it not english.
@masterofdoom5000 Blast Calibers are meant to be fast. Just check out ToD:R's ones
@stayles1990 The ps3 remake version just came out, you could play due to no region restriction.
omg that was AWESOME xDDDD
@clawsthewolf - Simple, it creates the enemy's allergies!
I just have to say this but like the 2nd enemies' BC is kinda on the plain side compared to every other persons, even the cute chicken has one that looks more flashy xD, oh and yay for za warudo!!!
JAPAN!!! SHARING IS CARING!!!D=
My favorite Blast Caliburs are Cheria's.
@NightFoxXIII The battle quotes change.
wow... even the butler fights
pascal and sis summon from other games
there's a flying chicken
and im still not even sure about what kind of weapon hubert uses...
@LJkAze I think that the Team Destiny games are some of the better ones. Sad that we don't get them. But if we got it I can see alot of people complain about how different and challenging the game is from other entries in the series.
3:20 it's that girl from tales of hearts :O
Damn this game looks good ! =O
Why isn't coming to our NA Wiis..??!...WHYYYY :'(
@Amigo12publico its out in US soon :)
If this gets released in the US, great. If not, I can deal with that. I still have to finish Vesperia, so it might good if we don't get this Tales game. I don't really care for the story or characters that much this time around.
3:15-3:20 sounds like the voice actor for Link/Batsu...
Yay they added veigue. Did he say clare? Cause i think he did.
