Namco Bandai is holding a joint press event with their North American and European branches, but it appears part of the news from that event might have leaked as a press booklet has leaked which reveals an European release date for Tales of Graces f.
Tales of Graces f (the f stands for "future") has an extra post-game story which takes place after the game's original ending. Without spoiling anything, there seems to be an increase in the monster population, which increases the amount of monster attacks around the world. This causes Asbel and his group to set off once again to determine the cause behind the recent disturbance.
Namco Bandai has been filing and re-filing some of their Tales trademarks as of late, but the latest one that has appeared in the European database is quite interesting for the fact that it might actually have a chance of being used: Tales of Xillia.
Tales of Xillia utilizes the contrast between light and shadow, which will lead to the game having a different art style direction than Vesperia's anime-style graphics or Graces's watercolor-style graphics. Baba stated that when he saw some of the concept artwork images running on actual hardware he was very impressed.
It's important to note that while Namco Bandai has filed the trademark (on March 20, 2012, according to records), it's not a clear indication that said trademark is guaranteed to be used. However, considering all of the recent console mothership titles have been released up until now in North America in one way or another it has a better chance of being used compared to games such as Tales of Innocence or Tales of Hearts.
Tomorrow's the North American release of Tales of Graces f and Namco Bandai's released the official launch trailer for the game.

For those who weren't already aware, Namco Bandai is releasing Tales of Graces f in North America next week. In anticipation of that, they have released a new video on the company's official YouTube page featuring the game's co-op system and some insights from the game's localization producer and the head QA lead.

It's been a week since Tales of the Heroes: Twin Brave was released in Japan, which means we have new first week sales figure data.
Unlike the other Tales escort titles on the PSP, this game plays similarly to the Musou/Dynasty Warriors franchise with the player controlling one character with a partner character being controlled by the game's AI. Characters from the mothership titles (and surprisingly enough Tales of the Tempest) will be included.
According to the latest Media Create sales figure data, Tales of the Heroes: Twin Brave sold 85,309 copies. These figures include both the limited edition and regular versions of the game. These figures are quite small for a spin-off title, as Tales of VS. sold a little less than double in its own first week.
Namco Bandai has released a couple new trailers for Tales of the Heroes: Twin Brave recently, both of which showcase the bosses found in the game.

Tales of the Heroes: Twin Brave was released in Japan on February 23, 2012 for the Sony PSP. No news of an North American or European release has been announced.
With just about a week before the game's official release in Japan, the official Famitsu review score for the game has leaked online.

Tales of the Heroes: Twin Brave has received a 31/40 (8/7/8/8), which puts it one point lower than the last previous non-Radiant Mythology Tales spin-off, Tales of VS.
Last week, GameStop's Canadian branch announced that Tales of Graces f's western debut in North America would include some special pre-order DLC. Namco Bandai has now officially announced said DLC for a U.S. release alongside Canada.
Tales of Graces f (the f stands for "future") has an extra post-game story which takes place after the game's original ending. Without spoiling anything, there seems to be an increase in the monster population, which increases the amount of monster attacks around the world. This causes Asbel and his group to set off once again to determine the cause behind the recent disturbance.
The DLC in the U.S. is the same as Canada, right down to the costumes and the special custom PS3 theme. However, if you had pre-ordered the game at Amazon you are out of luck as Namco Bandai has confirmed that the pre-order DLC is exclusive to GameStop and will not be offered as paid DLC post-launch. This is similar to the Japanese release which followed the same rules sans retailer exclusivity.
