Although the Grade Shop has always been a huge part of the Tales series since the addition of the New Game Plus mode, Tales of Graces F Remastered brings back this iconic feature in Tales of Graces F Remastered in a completely different way. This article will tell you all about the Grade Shop in Tales of Graces F Remastered, including what it is and how you should ideally use it to get the most out of it.
What Is The Grade Shop In Tales of Graces F Remastered?
The Grade Shop in Tales of Graces F Remastered lets you purchase certain modifiers that usually make your game experience easier or more challenging, depending on your choice.
Unlike previous Tales games, this option is available right at the start in Tales of Graces F Remastered, and you will also have the maximum possible Grade Score when you start, which makes buying these features very simple.
What Are The Different Options In The Grade Shop?
The following table lists all the different options in the Grade Shop in Tales of Graces F Remastered, as well as a little bit about them all:

Which Grade Shop Options Should You Buy?
Almost all the Grade Shop options in Tales of Graces F Remastered should be purchased when you start out the game, as you always have the option of disabling them individually. You will also not be allowed to purchase any of these modifiers once you’ve started the game so you need to make these choices wisely.
A few of the modifiers we wouldn’t suggest you purchase include the Eleth +500, HP + 1000, or the 5x Damage, as they drastically change the quality of the game.
You can experiment with the rest of the options in the Grade Shop and determine which ones suit you best according to your skill level. A few of the modifiers we would recommend turning on for your first playthrough would be the Upgrade Eleth Mixer, the Chain Capacity upgrades, Maximum Speed, and Double Item Drops, as they will make your life a lot easier.
