I feel I should talk a little about the distribution of Tales of Hearts R. You see, Bamco only has it available through the PSN store or as a Gamestop exclusive. Of course I am sure you can get it via a reseller now. I guess the combination of being a Vita game and from a somewhat marginal series was the reason. Still, at least it's available.
A mysterious girl is discovered on the beach and Kor helps her because that's what shonen manga protagonists do. After an introduction that fits the imagination of 13 year old boys, Kor and the girl go to get a Soma from Kor's mother's grave. That's right, less than an hour in and we're grave-robbing!
Overprotective brother shows up and then the witch from the opening movie appears to put a whammy on the girl. She is about to kill Kor when the grandfather intervenes and takes the hit.
After some heroic running away, Kor uses his Soma to enter the girl's mind to try to heal her. Of course, he makes things worse and ends up breaking her spira. So she is left emotionless, and her brother is not very happy about this. At this point the grandfather dies, but very little is made of this.
And this is where I start having problems. Overprotective brother is so upset at Kor, but he and his sister got Kor's only relative killed. One of these things is worse than the other.
So the Hearts in the name of the game not only refers to the last name of the siblings, but also to the fact that you'll be putting her heart back together.
I want to go into the mechanics a bit, but doing this on my phone is too annoying for that.
