Hmm, I watched the Tales of Graces f review as well. I wonder if this is being a case me being horribly inattentive or very ignorant of Graces f's story but I didn't feel spoiled too much from watching the review. Maybe some of what they spoiled isn't much of a spoiler for someone who has yet to play the game? Hmm, perhaps I'm just trying to forget the review in case I happen to play Graces f some day.
The review spoils the identity of the game's main villain (as well as their plan), who isn't revealed until 1/3 of the way through the game and is one of the game's
main playable characters up until that point. It's a major spoiler.
More than that, though, that review just obsesses over minutia like how Asbel's father is portrayed, a character who has
maybe 3 scenes in the 1st 5 hours of the game and has
one minor scene afterwards. There's so much emphasis on the prologue "childhood arc" that I wonder how much of the 80+ hour game the reviewer
actually played. It also complains that the visuals aren't top-end PS3 (instead of examining whether the visuals are aesthetically-pleasing and suit the story) despite it being an upgraded
port of a Wii game. Then, of course, there's its complaint that the game "hasn't changed much from all the other Tales games", despite the game having a brand-new-to-NA combat system and new features like the Eleth Mixer (which is both a radical shift on the series' cooking system
and a major component of the new crafting feature).
