With a little less than a week before the official release of Tales of Innocence R in Japan, Famitsu has released their official score for the game.
According to Namco Bandai the R in the title means "re-imagining", not remake like some had previously thought. Tales of Innocence R will include a revised game theme, a new battle system and a new gameplay system alongside a new opening movie.
As can be seen in the scant, Tales of Innocence R received a 36/40 (9/9/9/9). While not as high as Tales of Xillia's score, it's still a respectable score.

With only nine days left to go before the game's release, the official Famitsu scores for Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 3 have been leaked, and this time it's one of the better scores for the escort titles in the series.
Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 3 is the third game in the Radiant Mythology series, which brings together Tales characters from many of the games in the long-running series. The third entry features 30 more characters for a total of 80 (with 76 of them being playable), an enhanced character creation tool, a data install option and a brand new aerial-view camera angle.
The scan hasn't been leaked just yet, but the scores are currently being passed around the Japanese gaming blogs. According to various sources, the score for the game is 9/9/9/8, or a 35/40. It's two points lower than Tales of Graces f's scores, but three points higher than Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2's score.
Keep on reading to find out more information about the new updates for the game.
In addition to the trailer for Tales of Graces f, which we already knew would be releasing sometime this month, Famitsu also released the first trailer for Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 3, which totals almost four minutes.

Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 3 is currently set for an early 2011 release in Japan on the PSP. No word on an North American or European release.
Earlier this week, Namco Bandai stated that the first trailer for Tales of Graces f would be released on PlayStation Network sometime later this month. Thanks to Famitsu, we now can see what appears to be the first trailer for the game.
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.
While we won't know for sure if this is the same video that Namco Bandai was planning on releasing until later this month, it sure looks like it. Tales of Graces f is set for a Winter 2010 release date in Japan. No word on a North American or European release.
Following our earlier news this week from Namco Bandai's Tales of Series 2010 Lineup Presentation, images of the Famitsu article we tweeted about earlier today have been released, which clarify some of the new additions we recently learned about.

No new characters were revealed in the scan, with Shirley Fennes (Legendia), Chelsea Torn (Destiny), Judith (Vesperia), Meredy (Eternia), Kohak Hearts (Hearts) and Norma Beatty (Legendia) being the only characters we currently know of that have been added. The scans do give a clearer view of the new camera, which functions much like the camera in many of the Tales of games, although with a slightly more overhead view due to the PSP's smaller screen.

The article also include an interview with series general producer Makoto Yoshizumi, in which they discuss how Graces ended up coming to the PS3. After the release of the game on the Wii at the end of 2009, the staff took in a variety of opinions through the game's online survey and other mediums. Normally, these submissions are taken into consideration for the next title in the series, but due to an influx of fans asking for a PS3 version, they decided on making one. The interview states that development on the title started in February.
More scans and analysis can be found in the full story.
New Tales scans, coming from Weekly Shonen Jump and what appears to be a Famitsu scan, have been released, although there doesn't seem to be any new major information, as well as no word of that Famitsu interview.
The first scan shows off the full-body artwork for Norn, the being which watches over Mel and Dio. The second scan shows some of the Mystic Arte cut-ins, namely for Mel and Dio.
Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X is set for an August 5, 2010 release date in Japan. No word on an North American or European release.
With all the recent tie-ins with other Namco Bandai properties in Tales games, many were wondering if Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X would follow the same path. According to a recent Famitsu scan, it appears that that has come to be true.
The new costumes shown in the scan are Ninja, Shooter, Summoner, Emperor, Knight, Bishop and a Monk. It also seems that special clothes, such as Haruka from the The Idolmaster is available using a costume system, which has the player enter a string of five symbols from a set of 16.
Like Tales of VS., it's likely that various Japanese gaming magazines will be releasing the rest of the passwords.
