Also, the italian adaptation (text only) seems to be very good, judging by the PR. Very funny work on some names, like the "elettroquaglia" in the DLC, and in the title too (Strega Cinerea/Ash Witch instead of the generic White Witch).

I don't own a PS3 and live in NA but I will probably be ordering this as well :D

I was following this game (and more specifically the DS game) a few years ago, is there still no plan for NA release of the PS3 game? DS port is still dead in the water?

I'd be shocked if it's released in the US. Tales of Graces f is receiving a Special Edition in Europe while the US version didn't.

I'd say so. Likely to have some nice art in it too considering the collaboration involved.

Europe tends to get a lot more CEs in general.

Didn't they say the reason they weren't bringing the DS version over to the west was because it would involve too much translation with the book?

NAMCO Europe also seems really interested in promoting their RPG's. They've been doing a lot with Graces f like getting Baba to do an interview for the game. And they just posted this today

Nothing like that happened with the US release of Graces f.

Not surprising EU is getting a CE. Europe is much more receptive to Japanese games. Look at Square Enix (PSP) games, MGS, GT, Yakuza, Bayonetta etc.

Damn, that looks nice. EU generally seems to get the best stuff now.

Sonic Generations CE, a bunch of SE CEs, love from NoE, Namco CEs... If they get Atlus games more often and at a consistent rate, they'll be in business.

Yeah, they kind of suck. Namco UK has its own dedicated Tales twitter account, too. We don't. =(

That looks pretty cool. Of all the Collector's Editions that I never buy, this seems like one of the best looking. Might even consider it if the price is right.

Have been waiting for Amazon to put up their pre-orders for the standard version, but now I'll definitely be looking for this edition. Looks awesome.

Very impressed with how Namco are publishing their RPGs in Europe; Witcher 2, Tales of Graces f and now Ni No Kuni getting very nice sets.
