So, in 22 hours, it looks like there will be an announcement for a NEW Tales of game, just days after the release of Tales of Xillia, which appears to be a success, because I know about 50 people that have imported it from Japan (locally, not counting people I know online). So the chances are that on top of this next game, Xillia might get localized in NA and EU.
Any Wild Mass Guessing for what this next game will be like?

Hmm, I'll keep an eye on it.
I've all but lost any faith one could have for Namco Bandai. It is one thing to decide not to localize a title because you have determined that profit gain isn't substantiated, truly I get that. Most people do, even if they don't wish to admit. However, it is another thing to repeatedly tease your Western audiences with the hints of release titles only for them to shrug blankly when people start questioning what happened to said hints.
They like to tease, and the only teases I like are my women. >.>;;

some people found some "English files" in Tales of Xillia.
The usual files is like "Alv_JPN", but they found files that also have "ENG","ITA" and "FRA"

And you already know that they'll Localize Tales of Graces.

While that would be nice, it isn't really indicative of anything.
It reminds me of the Patty Fleur incident on the 360 version of Tales of Vesperia. Part of the coding used for Patty Fleur exists in the coding of the 360 version of Vesperia, but just because excess, or undeleted, code exists in a game doesn't mean it has to be indicative of anything other than lazyness or perhaps precautionary in the case of Tales of Xillia.
As for Graces, no, we don't know anything for sure. There have been localization projects before that get pulled at the last minutes. Until I see a firmer, more concrete, release date. I'm going to assume nothing regarding a localization for Graces.

I wonder if I'm the only one trying to anticipate for a Tales of the World 2 and 3 in the NA. The first one was above average for me. But the sequels just keeps getting better and better.

Oh I would love to get my hands on the other two Radiant Mythology games. Thing is, if we can't even get mothership titles of late, I highly doubt the escort series, even Tales of the World, will see the light of day when it comes to a localization.

Alright, there was a half-reveal this morning.
It turns out Tales of Innocence is getting an enhanced re-released on the PSVita.
2 more days until the next announcement...

Yeah, great. Something else for us not to care about. Way to go Bamco. Well, this is the Japan site, so if they care, why does it matter if we don't?

Somehow they've answered my wishes....in a way. I just hope it's not another Tales of Brawl (Tales VS).

I meant us, as in everyone who is a Tales fan. Remakes never go over to well, and it screams of a cop-out to keep the Tales games coming out every year while the work on a new mothership title for the following year.
Yet, I don't think they understand that over-saturating the market is typically frowned upon in more ways than one.

But they know that's it cheaper to make, easier to sell (at least, to people who liked the original), and that most other major RPG companies are doing it right now (SquareEnix, Atlus, etc). They don't have to pay for writers, designers, and a whole bunch of other stuff that saves them money.

This is true.
Sorry. I used to consider myself quite the Tales fanboy and just all of Namco Bandai's "crap" lately has left me with a bitter taste in my mouth, no pun intended.
It certainly, at least can, make sense from en economical standpoint. However, remakes often don't sell as well as new titles, but I'm assuming they took that into consideration. That, and it seems like it would have been a smarter move to wait to see, at least a decent projection sales chart for the Vita before they go ahead with a bold move like this.
Namco Bandai and Square Enix both spearheaded the whole "JRPGs are in trouble" jazz. Sure they are taking a gamble, but I just can't see how this is a gamble worth taking.
I guess that's why I'm the consumer and not the business manager. Heh.
