Tales of Innocence - The Ultimate Retrospective

Never played Innocence? You won't need to after watching this—but I hope you do anyway.
What's this rarely-discussed entry all about, and how does it hold up today?

Originally developed by Alfa System and first published by Namco Bandai Games in 2007 for the Nintendo DS, this JRPG has never been released in the West. It was remade by 7th Chord as Tales of Innocence R for PlayStation Vita in 2012, only for Japan.
