The English version of the Bandai Namco website has posted the changes that’ll be in Tales of Graces f Remastered, including that Alexis Tipton will replace Laura Bailey as Cheria for the new skits. The rest of the cast will remain the same.
Tipton will not be voicing any scenes from the game itself, as it will reuse audio and voice clips from the original release. However, the remastered version will be voicing clips that were originally DLC. These never came out in English, so for the remastered version’s release, Bandai Namco asked the English cast to return and voice them. As for why Laura Bailey did not, it likely has to do with the ongoing voice actor strikes.
Alexis Tipton is a voice actress and ADR director whose career started in 2008. Her anime roles include Kofuku in Noragami, Kaguya in Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, and Mei in My Hero Academia. On the video game side, Tipton appeared as Qingque in Honkai: Star Rail, Lucina in Fire Emblem Heroes and Engage, and Pascal in NieR: Automata. Coincidentally (or maybe not), Tipton also shares the role of Lucina with Laura Bailey, who voiced the character in Awakening and the Super Smash Bros. series.
Tales of Graces f originally came out for the PS3 in 2010, about a year after Tales of Graces initially debuted on the Nintendo Wii. It takes place in the fantasy world of Ephinea and follows Asbel Lhant, who became a knight to protect others following a traumatic incident in his youth. Bandai Namco announced that the remastered version will come out in January 2025 and will be the first of the Remastered Project for the 30th anniversary.
Tales of Graces f Remastered will come out on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC on January 17, 2025.
