I really hope this is true!

Expecting it to be on PS3 and possibly on Wii considering his tweet but as long this game comes out it in the west, it doesn't matter. I just want to play the game. Hopefully, Tales of Graces F will sell enough copies to convince NamcoBandai to bring over Tales of Xilla asap.

Hopefully Xillia will get brought over *regardless* of how Graces F sells.

I'm not confident on Graces F appealing to non-hardcore Tales fans. Xillia, simply by being developed for the PS3 from the ground-up, is more likely to suck in series newcomers. The idea of tying Xillia's potential release to how well Graces F sells makes no business sense.

AND every "Tales of" game they neglected to release stateside only on PS3. Im talkin Vesperia, Symphonia in updated fashion, etc.

I'm Uuber fuckin happy the western fans finally get what they raged for. Ppl need to unite and fight for what they want. That's how you get shit done. Resident Evil fans NEED to be doing this to get their true to roots franchise back.

Have to admit that I've never been a huge Tales fan, but who knows, maybe I need to give this one a try!

While this will most likely be a PS3 exclusive in the west I wouldn't completely rule out the possibility of a Wii release as well. There were rumors to that effect even before Bamco announced a western release. The lack of DLC on the Wii might be a slight impediment though. They love to overcharge for the stupid costume DLC. IIRC they made an atrocious amount of money from the Kerero costume in Vesperia.

i'd completely rule it out actually . Namco isnt hardworking enough to be re-releasing a game that performed in a just ok/lukewarm fashion on wii , with so much material missing from the ps3 version .

F sold twice as much in its first week than the wii version , and is almost doing doubles of the lifetime sales

Not to mention its unlikely the dvd disc got room for whatever they added in the ps3 version .

My bet would be instead for a 3ds/ngp/psp port , if they do decide for another platform

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

"Let Me Solo Her" Receives A Special Award From Namco Bandai For His 1000th Victory Against Malenia

Immersed Gamer writes: "Let Me Solo Her is a legendary Elden Ring player who mastered one of the most infamous bosses to help his fellow tarnished via co-op. And for his service, he received an award from Namco Bandai to commemorate his 1,000th victory. The reward in question is a real, and extremely dope, custom-made sword.

Malenia is regarded as the hardest boss in Elden Ring, and the relentless Tarnished has defended literally thousands of hosts against this malice. Let Me Solo Her apparently passed 2,000 Malenia kills a while back, but it’s hard to measure the exact count he is at now. Bandai Namco sent the gift his way when he was at around 1,000 kills. But due to the nature of the object, it got stuck in customs for a while!"

Are you Okay??? The thumb is from Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

At least it's the right franchise

TTT is one of my all time favorite games, but I always found its soundtrack to be terrible. I'd mute the music and put my own on.
