    This is making me excited as hell 8D

    Damn, people just can’t stop complaining can they?

    I know I’m purchasing it the moment it’s up for pre-orders. I’ll pick up Enslaved: Odyssey to the west while at it.

  • Hours

    I’m very happy that we’re finally getting this game. Using the Vesperia logo was a lame move though, there was no reason to do it.

    Anyway. Finally, more English Tales! ^_^

  • AQuatermain

    Namco Bandai should officially confirm once the platform for this game going. Ishaan wrote in the right way this news.

    I HOPE FREAKING PEOPLE FREAKING BUY IT (I WILL) BECAUSE I WANT MY TALES OF XILIA PZ3 EXCLUSIVE

    Seriously, this could be our last chance

    • http://zerodestinypro.blogspot.com/ Zero_Destiny

      Truly no one wiser than you good sir!!!

    • Darkrise

      This, is it ppl. The Beggining of the end. We’re fighting for our rights to an english Tales game and could very well tip the balance of the world as we know it. The tides of war is just beggining! So ready you’re weapons (wallets). And PREPARE, for the FINAL BATTLE!!! *CHARGE!*

    This is such a miracle that is renovating my faith on Namdai. Hope they don’t decide to crush my dreams of playing Tales of games in the future anymore. I really want this game and would even copy Tsunayoshi Sawada (as a token of appreciation for this historical moment): DAY 1, BABY!!! DAY 1!!!

    The moment I saw this title, I knew a shitload a people will be rejoicing with excitement. Allow me to share my own excitement in song and dance.

    Here’s hoping there’s a 360 release!

    • Nei_chan

      This whole series should be multiplatform by now..

      • thebanditking

        Don’t know if that’s the best route to take, multiplat maximizes your potential market but increases development and production costs so there is always a trade off, because you can’t guarantee the shared sales will equal enough to cover the added costs. I personally feel Namco has had Tales jump platforms too often and confused people by establishing a base on one console then jumping to another for the next entry.

        • http://tristsantithesis.tumblr.com/ Tsunayoshi Sawada

          Jump platforms in the US too often? What? It just had a PSP entry, PS2 entries, and Gamecube entry at last generation. It had a X360 version, and then a Wii version, this generation. Just appearing on two platforms this generation doesnt seem like much jumping platforms. DOTNW was most likely on Wii since it had the prequel on nintendo hardware, that would have been odd to to put it on multiple platforms

          —
          That being said, with increasing data suggesting that people own a Wii + an HD console, it seems that putting it on just one of the HD consoles is the only way to feasibly please the most people. At the end of the day, people who truly owned a Wii at DOTNW have had more than enough time to get an HD console for Vesperia or for Graces F now. It can not truly be that difficult to have been able to save a mere 10$ per month to afford another console for more than 2 years (people could have just skipped out on eating at fast food joints once a week, ate smarter, etc). I dont remember seeing people cry this loud as in this thread of other series going to different platforms, its pretty intense here, lol.

          • malek86

            Well, there was quite a bit of crying when MH3 got moved from the PS3 to the Wii. I’m pretty sure Wii owners weren’t complaining about that. PS3 owners, on the other hand…

    namcobandai giving what the consumer wants? THE WAR IS OVER WE GAMERS HAVE WON!!

      Not until .hack// fans get Link it’s not :(

  • http://www.youtube.com/B4ULoveShine Tim_at_where

    @NamcoBandai better delivers on this one; otherwise, we’ll see more #DBZ #Dragonball games at the expense of #TalesSeries #Tales games.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1472407455 Charles Lupula

    Thank you, Namco. I have done a lot of complaining about you over the last few years and I apologize. I will pick this up day one and I will make sure whoever has a birthday around release will receive a copy too.

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1472407455 Charles Lupula

      Actually, no. I don’t apologize. It was only through the complaining of people like myself and the efforts of the PS3 RPG community that this happened. So, yay us. And good on you, Namco for listening to us.

  • http://www.facebook.com/jstack Jon Stachewicz

    “HEY THANK YOU NAMCO FOR BRINGING OVER THIS GAME I’VE BEEN CLAMORING FOR FOREVER, BUT SCREW YOU GUYS FOR NOT RELEASING IT PER MY EXACT SPECIFICATIONS, REGARDLESS OF THE FACT THAT WE REALLY DON’T KNOW ANY DETAILS ABOUT THE ENGLISH RELEASE YET” – every poster ITT

    • Darkrise

      lmao so true.

  • http://demyxluver1xxandra.deviantart.com/ C.Guzman

    I’m glad Tales fans are getting what they want :)
    I just hope .hack// fans are next in line.

  • ThunderGod_Cid

    It’s about damn time!
    Looks like Namco Bandai finally wants my money.

    GET HYPE GET HYPE GET HYPE

    I want that watermelon hat DLC.

    • Kai2591

      Watermelon hat FTW

      • https://twitter.com/#!/SplashdownTiger STiger

        It would be hilariously silly to see the characters wearing a watermelon on their head during serious cutscenes.

  • BK0000

    I know I should be happy about getting Graces F, but I’m pissed how they trolled us with the Vesperia logo yesterday.

  • http://gplus.to/rootbeerking RootBeerKing

    Here’s some more food for thought: I wonder if they’ll use the English Version of まもりたい ～White Wishes～ as the OP?

    • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_DCPOEB633R2S2EUPSC4ASHZY6Y Andre
      • http://gplus.to/rootbeerking RootBeerKing

        Exactly like that.

        • http://zerodestinypro.blogspot.com/ Zero_Destiny

          Honestly I hope they do. I hate when they just give you some instrumental song like with Symphonia 2.

          • http://www.facebook.com/people/Aunna-Terrell/100001267508146 Aunna Terrell

            lol or the Abyss instrumental? XD My brother likes the Bump of Chicken song.

  • DanteJones

    My thoughts before this announcement: “Good LORD whats wrong with Bamco?! We’re never gonna see another Tales game localized are we? ARE WE??? HATE HATE HATE” (slightly over-exaggerated).

    My thoughts afterwards: “…aight we cool.”

  • kupomogli

    While we won’t see them I’m sure, I’d really like to see Tales of Vesperia PS3, Tales of VS, and Tales of Radiant Mythology 3 make their way over here.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Zaid-Elliott/1056775689 Zaid Elliott

    Oh happy day. I hope they bring the newest one over in 2012, at least also.

  • Kai2591

    haha congrats to Tales fans~

    i for one will probably only play it if it will include Japanese audio and if its for PS3.

  • http://twitter.com/ChaseBurr Chase Bonner

    In for one, on release.

  • http://hey-hey-listen.com/ Seiyami Kageryu

    Three words: Day 1 buy!!!

  • kurosan9712

    And I believe they AGAIN will release it with awful english dub and without jap sound function. And that will be their greatest mistake again.
    Good thing I know japanese and already finished the game 3 times.

  • Guest

    Is Godzilla attacking Tokyo and headed straight for BandaiNamco building or something? What’s going on??

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Aunna-Terrell/100001267508146 Aunna Terrell

    Yay~~! Another Tales game! *cheerful fangirl* Totally a day 1 buy for me. I even told my RPG friends that they’re buying it too. (Which some have agreed to..) lol and now.. time to go find another copy of Vesperia. (Originally sold mine because the PS3 port was first announced…)

    Thank you, Namco. You still suck tho.

    Ugh this is why I hate April, because of the stupid tradition known as April Fools…Febuary? Don’t be silly, it can’t be because a Tales of game was just announced as coming to the west…Okay I’m getting sick of you insisting that it is Febuary and that this news is legit. I thought the announcement of Duke Nukem Forever being released was a sick joke but this just takes it to another level…

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Devon-Peluso/100000732651691 Devon Peluso

    “Yes, Tales of Graces F is being published in North America. That’s all we know for now.”

    That’s all we need to know =D

  • Saru245

    All right!!I can’t wait to get Tales of Graces F!!Luckily for me I have a DSi(3DS coming soon),a Wii,Xbox 360,PS2,PS3,and a PSP.So whichever console that this game(and hopefully if this does well,other games too) comes out on I will be able to get it!!XD.I hope they release it on multiple consoles but that just mean we as “Fans” will have to buy even more copies to compensate and from what I have read I don’t think that would be a problem!!XD

  • http://www.facebook.com/keishenra Kyle D. Johnson

    Well. I was considering buying a PS3 this month, and I hadn’t even accounted for this. Guess who just commited to buying a PS3? ;D

    Squeaky wheel(s) get the grease?

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_SYTAIKVXU4LFWLP3I7WT44UPFA Yasune

    Bandai-Namco is finally pickin’ up!

  • http://twitter.com/pipsterfinn Pip Murphy

    Yay, great news! Makes me wish I had a PS3 now, especially since the game would be import-friendly even if it doesn’t get released in Europe. :D

  • The Icon

    Well, I haven’t played Tales since Destiny on PS1, but I think this is great news. Now it’s time for Tales fans to put their money where their mouths are. Whenever this game comes out, you have to get it on day one. No more complaining. You want more? Support the game. That means BUY IT.

  • Equus

    Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes!!!

  • thebanditking

    Side note here, do we know for sure that this will be a disc release? Considering Namco’s stance on the series and its retail history and the current market it’s possible this could be a PSN release which I would not approve of and not buy.

    • Pesmerga00

      Oh man, I didn’t even think of that. I really hope not. It would be kind of weird, but well, you know how this company thinks.

  • Pesmerga00

    Wow. This thread is just……UGH.

  • Exkaiser

    Siliconera is one of the more reasonable gaming sites on the net.

    Seeing this thread descend into this only reaffirms what I have been fearing for the longest time:

    The Tales fandom is the worst on the entire internet. It’s like I stepped onto /v/ except without the cool Megaten threads and with it sticking around a hell of a lot longer. And with more video games.

    Oh well. Can’t be helped.

    • http://www.siliconera.com Spencer

      Thanks for that comment it brightened my day a little bit after sifting through this thread :)

      I really want to keep the comments as a place where readers can actually discuss topics rather than regurgitate memes and harp on each other.

      • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_J24UY7QAEKQY576PHZYS3EN6BA Celine

        Well, the thing is there IS more coherent discussion here than anywhere else, even if Siliconera does receive the brunt of the cynical Tales fans whining as well. At the very least I can go down quite a few comments with people discussing, more or less civilly, different aspects of gaming, marketing, and expectations. Until I hit the meme event horizon, but that’s better than I can say for some other sites…

    • goronyan

      well i can say it’s the payback of the so called “fans”. And instead of a lot of pleople babbling “i hate u bamco”, now they start a list of demands and/or critics (sometimes not even related with the title) and the game was barely announced.

  • http://radiantloki.blogspot.com/ Mark Dinh

    OMG I am so hype! I’m so happy that there releasing it here! But wait… so there won’t be a Wii release? Oh come on! It came out on the Wii first… please let there be a Wii port as well D:. I don’t have a PS3 and the money to get a PS3 at the moment (>.<)
