Namco Bandai Has A "Surprise" For Tales of Fans In The West [Up: Japan Expo]

ULTROS!

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.

Tales of Phantasia SNES to be the final SNES game released in the USA, including the exact packaging a game in 1997 would've gotten.
Aren't those both EU accounts for Namco and they still have to get Graces (in August)?

Here's to hoping, though. I'd like to platinum that game in English.
Well, that one account is using a Graces avatar, so I guess it's either a release date or the most poorly hidden surprise ever.

Baba has been talking a lot about Xillia in those videos and showing off art and dolls for those characters. The teases are all there for an actual announcement.

Tales of 3DS, announced tonight in the US for some reason!

EDIT: I was going to agree it had something to do with Graces, but I just read that's already announced for August? So hrmm.

Tales of Inversion!
Tales of Tank! Tank! Tank! You can also become a Super Saiyan.

Well, you know Namco... Edit: btw, I think Graces is supposed to come out there on Aug. 31st anyway.

Their stream was amazing today.

Yeah, no. Graces F for Europe hasn't been a secret for a year now, and we also already know about the special edition. Seeing how he's talking about a secret to be revealed in the Baba videos, I'm fairly sure it'll be a little more unexpected.

Late June/early July is Japan Expo in France, right?

Heh, forgot about this. Might actually be doing interpreter work at JE, totally looking forward to it :)

What I meant was... why isn't Namco America/Rich's Twitter doing these same teases? It'd make more sense to get Graces out and about and then talk about Xillia, but oh well, this is Namco. :lol

Hoping for the best, nonetheless.

Maybe a package deal?

Or one over PSN and the other retail?
They could announce both and that they'll be released months apart at retail, which would be plausible, but optimistic thinking.

At this juncture, though, I don't see any point in releasing one without the other. If the two games would essentially form one nice whole package in terms of narrative and extras suited for an anniversary title, I'd rather them release both rather than only Xillia.

They both are, or will be, made to be full retail games. I don't really get why they would do a bundle (that they're definitely not going to give a 2-for-1 price), or randomly split them into retail and digital?

If they bring over both, it'd probably be Xillia between late 2012-mid 2013 and Xillia 2 between late 2013-mid 2014.

I'm sorry, but I cannot be hyped for this. I'll wait and see, but considering how Namco has been treating this franchise, I assume every title is Japan-only unless a miracle happens.
