A classic mechanic in every Tales game is the Hourglass Event, andTales Of Graces F Remasteredcarries 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.

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.
