Finally, we have a look at the English version of Tales of Graces f. A few screenshots of the localized version were released by Namco Bandai.

In Japan, Namco Bandai offered Tales of Destiny costumes for Asbel, Sophie, and Richard as a pre-order bonus for Tales of Graces f.

“We had one goal when we decided to make the PS3 version [of Tales of Graces f]. We wanted to add something extra for our fans to enjoy, and give a deeper look into the story and gameplay.”

Namco Bandai set March 15 as the release date for Tales of Graces f in North America. Unfortunately, PAL gamers are going to have to wait until summer to find out which characters have “eternal bonds of friendship”.

OK, Tales fans, everyone put your hands in and remember to always be friends.

Also why was Tales of the Abyss delayed to February 2012 in North America?

Namco are re-releasing older Tales games on PSP and PlayStation 3 as budget titles to celebrate the series’ 15th anniversary.

“Actually we are planning for a [European] release in summer 2012,” says Tales Studio executive, Makoto Yoshizumi, about Tales of Graces f.

The “f” in Tales of Graces f really stands for future. Echoing the news from Europe, Namco Bandai announced Tales of Graces f is a 2012 game in North America too.

Europeans, don’t hold your breath for a Tales of Graces F release this year.

Both games, with Gold ratings, will go on sale March 24th.

We caught up with Makoto Iwai, Bandai Label President, and asked what’s going on with Game Republic, Naruto developer CyberConnect2, and how the partnership with Dark Souls developer From Software formed.

Tales of Graces costumes are coming to Gods Eater Burst in Japan.

When Namco Bandai confirmed Tales of Graces F for North America during their press event, Carlson Choi, Vice President of Marketing, mentioned there were over 50,000 requests asking for Tales.
