Quick Links
A classic mechanic in every Tales game is the Hourglass Event, and Tales Of Graces F Remastered carries on that series’ tradition in general, just like its original iteration. These moments allow you insight into the characters, but unlike everything else in the game, these events are a limited-time affair.

Great JRPGs Without Turn-Based Combat
Turn-based combat is synonymous with JRPGs, but the genre has proven to be more than willing to focus on real-time action. These games highlight that.
If you don’t find an Hourglass Event while you’re in its appearance chapter, you’ll miss out on it completely and, unless you’ve got a prior save point, you won’t see it until your next playthrough. For those wanting to get the most out of the story, make sure you find these events.
Information in the article below will be updated further as new information is discovered and as the need arises.
What Are Hourglass Events?
Hourglass Events are special conversations separate from Skits, taking place at a much lower frequency and being time-sensitive, unlike most events in the game.
When using the Navigation command, you’ll be able to see any Hourglass Events at the location you’re currently in, like how it displays the current quest objective and map exits if you’re near them.
Having the Destination Icon setting on will make most Hourglass Events show up on the map normally, like regular objectives, or appear when looking at the Towns section of the World Map.
Most of the time, they’ll be a special conversation or event you can experience, but some can also lead to side quests, such as the Hourglass Event at Cheria’s house during The Sands of Strahta chapter leading to Frederic’s Lost Treasure.
They also share some similarities with Star Events and can show up in the same location, but these are also separate from Hourglass Events, and Star Events tend to relate to memories of characters and aren’t time-sensitive.
While most are just conversations, Hourglass Events are considered Side Quests and are recorded in the Side Quests section of the User’s Manual.
