ToG PS3 - Accelerate Mode

Accelerate Mode, shortened to Accel Mode (アクセルモード, Akuserumoodo^?), is a feature added to Tales of Graces ƒ.

Function

The ability to use Accelerate Mode is obtained from the "Accel" skill, which also adds the Accelerate Gauge above the character's portrait. Accelerate Mode is activated by pressing the button when the gauge is filled to at least 50%. What occurs during each character's Accelerate Mode differs based on that character's abilities, but when entering Accelerate Mode, HP is recovered, CC is restored to maximum, and all status ailments are cured. If a character is casting a spell before Accelerate Mode is used, the spell is cast instantly upon its activation, canceling the required spellcasting duration for that spell only.

Accelerate Mode also allows characters to use new mystic artes, known as "Accel Finalities", one per character, if it has been obtained through the title mastery skills. If the gauge is at 100%, indicated by the word "MAX", when Accelerate Mode is activated, the player can press to perform the Accel Finality. If the target is in a combo, the Accel Finality can be activated any time before the combo ends, regardless of Accelerate Gauge levels.
