There's no way this is all a giant troll. This isn't Kojima here. Looks like all the raging on their facebook/twitter paid off.

 

[ULTROS!]

not sure if want...



inverting the original logo matches up with that distorted image pretty accurately

 

[InfiniteNine]

Wait until the announcement. I am going ahead and pissing my pants, however.

Fapping furiously is also accepted.

 

[Hcoregamer00]

If they do release it, you guys better buy copies or they will use it as an excuse not to release Tales of Xillia.

That is a the tales game I really want to get.

 

[ShineALight]

It feels like we are on the eve of the announcement of Tales of Graces. If I had to guess it'd be F. Crazy...

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

You can definitely see the F in the picture ultros posted, wooooooooooooooooooooot.

I'll buy both.

I'm wondering if the releases will be for US or both US and EU.

 

[Mockingbird]

Someone needs to update the topic title or make a new topic. It's pretty much 100% at this point. The only thing left for debate are the consoles. also, why bother keeping the F in for the localized version?

 

[Drkirby]

So, assuming the image is real, I guess that takes care of that. How much do PS3s go for these days...

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

It's definitely Tales of Graces F so it's definitely PS3 so no real speculation on console. Also I'll obviously get one. Must have Xillia.

The F implies it's the PS3 version, which is the more updated release.

 

[Pooya]

I don't see how this can't be real. Bamco has been so terrible that you guys can't believe that it's happening know .

EDIT: I'll make a new thread with all the info and recap, just give me some time.

 

[Canova]

Tell me where I can pre-order the collector edition already!!!!

 

[ULTROS!]

Y'all Tales fans better buy 5 copies of this game. Needs to get greatest hits to ensure Xillia's localization.

 

[Sophia]

All who doubted The Inner Awesome shall now repent. Repent, I say!

Spoiler

Be right back, dancing around my room like a crazy man.

Guess I'll hang onto my cash now.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

We all buy one just to see how much power we hold, then after we analyze the NPD results we can see how much work we have left from there.

With Bamco, it's never 100%. Not till the game is in our hands

Well... ataleoftworichards.com seems real since:

1. If it was a hoax site, it should have been registered just now despite the naming and all.
2. The divtags seem to link (see one my posts on the previous page or 2)

as much as I hate this, I will never let my friends borrow my copy. I will insist they buy their own copy! more people must buy the game for Xillia to be localized!

 

[jiggle]

too bad this is not for xillia
now we're never gonna get it when this bombs :<

 

[The Praiseworthy]

If ToGf got localized and ToV didn't..... I would be sooooooo pissed off!!!

I mean I would be so pissed off that I might try to force myself to not buy ToGf, yes THAT pissed I'm going to be.

then this whole process of begging, whining, crying, spamming on Namco facebook will repeat all over again

They need to keep the hype up from this announcement. Some good viral marketing would work in their favor. That, and an actual demo.*

Spoiler

*By this, I mean not the Tales of Graces F demo on the PSN marketplace, but one that actually starts at the beginning or close to it

Has it ever been confirmed if Microsoft had a hand in Tales of Vesperia's localization? I mean, it's unusual for Scamco to suddenly push out a decent localization (with the opening song, no less.)

I'll be annoyed if Graces doesn't have the English version of Mamoritai, to say the least.

I would agree if not for two recent occurances.

1. The guy who leaked about the game coming to the states last month.

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/6075460/tales_of_graces_wii_ps3_will_be_released.html

He's the same guy who called all of Koei's announcements back in the summer. People dismissed him as some idiot, but today it proves he was right.

2. Game Informer said awhile back that Tales of Graces was coming for Wii.

Totally fake. If we were working on this, we'd have changed his name to Hodfarg, so the URL wouldn't match anyway.

Well, that would suck (I do have Wii, but prefer PS3 for graphics and sound reasons). But why keep the F in the logo if it's only Wii?

Both versions, Wii version updated with F's content (but without the visual upgrade)? *shrugs*

The Inner Awesome shall be knocking on your door shortly.

The first link says the localized version would have all the PS3 content, so it might have something to do with that.

I dont think the reasoning for just the Wii version coming is reasonable though.

So are you saying we should hang Filthie Rich now?

[Nuclear Muffin]

Still not excited yet. Namco could easily just be fucking with us. I find it hard to believe that they could do anything right these days.

That being said, if it does actually happen, I bet they'll be stupid and skip over the Wii version...

 

[Proven]

This would be the best case scenario. I'd prefer an updated Wii version, but I'd feel bad for many of the dedicated PS3 players.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Where did they even find that URL from? It wasn't from Rich.

 

[Einbroch]

Where did they even find that URL from? It wasn't from Rich.

A facebook member was obsessed with "ataleoftwo", apparently he was with a group of people who were really trying to crack the code. They wanted to get the word "tale" into the first line, so that lead to "a tale _f t_ _". Then then they figured the next line was a name/place due to the discovery of "a tale of two". They figured the crown meant Royalty, and royalty starts with an "R". They saw the second "R", thought of Richard from the game, and blamo.

The ".com" slipped them up for like 20 minutes but then they got it.

 

[mjemirzian]

I would like to purchase this fine Japanese Role Playing Game as soon as it's announced.

 

[Notorious_Roy]

Maybe we should continue in the other thread and leave this one as it is?
