Oh wow, that'd be quite the upgrade then. I guess Namco learned their lesson from Symphonia Chronicles bombing.
It is one of the best Tales of games, but it's not really comparable to any of the games you mentioned. If you like JRPGs, you'll like it. The battle system is not turn-based, though. It's flashy and action-packed.
I would like to know too, because in the same interview that confirmed that it will run at 60fps everywhere they asked if the game would now be full HD, the producer answered that it would depend on the console, so obviously the Switch came to my mind, although maybe he was referring to the handheld mode that would run at 720p?
I don't want it so much for hoping they do enhancements on it, I want it moreso for the fact that I played the original on 360, so it'd feel right at home for me on Xbox One.
What makes it different is that only one of those games you mentioned is a JRPG, being Octopath. Tales game all have real-time combat, which is usually really fast and fluid feeling, which is a much different battle style than what Octopath gives you, which is turn-based.
