With coverage in this week's issue, Famitsu has put up their article for Namco Bandai's upcoming Wii RPG, Tales of Graces. This week focused on the introduction of two new characters, along with the revelation of Tales of Destiny Remake's Chain Capacity system being used for Graces.
The red-headed girl is Sheria Burns, the granddaughter of protagonist Asbel Lhant's butler, who also has a crush on Asbel. Sheria's A style involves throwing knives, while her B style is for casting divine magic. Hubert Oswell is Asbel's brother, who switches between a two-handed sword (A) and twin guns (B). In Graces' battle system, the two styles are assigned to A and B respectively, and can be switched back and forth.
Also revealed in Famitsu was the Chain Capacity system used in Tales of Destiny Remake. Attacks, artes, and other techniques are governed by this TP-replacing system, which lends itself to heavy skill use and combos. Manuevers like the Around Step (sidestep) will also expend CC points, which are recoverable by idling in battle.
Tales of Graces releases this Winter in Japan. Check out the rest of the screenshots at the source.

That really makes me wonder what the controls will actually be like.
And I doubt they'll ruin it by doing waggle controls,unless it's only for arte shortcuts.
I think the rate it recovers is pretty quick, though, so you have little downtime.
