Tales Of Graces F Confirmed For US/UK Release
Namco Bandai made a long-awaited announcement at last night's Level Up Dubai 2011 event: Tales of Graces F will see release outside of Japan. This is both good and bad news for RPG fans in the US and Europe. The good news is that this is the enhanced PS3 version of the game, with a 10+ hour epilogue story not found in the original game. The bad news is that it doesn't sound like Tales of Graces without the F, the original Wii release, will make it stateside. So while PS3 gamers have something to be happy about (and they need all the good news they can get right now), Wii gamers are left out.
There's still a pretty long wait for Tales of Graces F, with an ambiguous 2012 release date, but it's good to finally have some confirmation that the game is actually coming. Between Tales of Graces F and Tales of the Abyss 3D, perhaps there's hope that Namco Bandai will keep the US and Europe in mind as development on Tales of Xillia progresses.

Other stuff like this: namco bandai, ps3, tales of graces f
The game taking, like, three years to localize was enough to kill most interest I believe anyway.
Plus Namco obviously hates us in Europe with either not releasing games here at all or sending them out a year or two after their US release... so I personally see no need to support such mindsets [but then I only ever bought ToS, so not much loss]...
I'd rather have Xillia. I've heard Tales of Graces is about as generic as a Tales game can get, and for the series that's really saying something.
