It's only a few weeks away from the next Tales of Festival event in Japan and with all of the last revealed games having been released, it's time for the next Tales of title to be revealed. And just that has happened as a new scan has leaked online which reveals concept art for the next title in the long-running Tales of series.
As can be seen in the scan, this concept art is much more modern than that found in previous titles, even when compared to the concept art we saw for last year's Tales of Xillia. There's a big focus on tall buildings in the concept art along with a train that's visible in the background.
In recent interviews following the scan leak, Hideo Baba has revealed that that this new title will introduce a civilization similar to our own instead of the typical magic and fantasy angle that many of the titles in the past have employed. Interestingly, the catchphrase for the game is "Are you determined enough to destroy the world for the sake of one girl?", although the official moniker for the game has yet to be revealed.
Earlier this year, Namco Bandai asked Tales fans on the series's official Facebook wall what questions they would want Hideo Baba, the producer of the Tales series, to answer. Over the past few weeks three of the videos in this series have been released.
Most of the questions revolve around the series in general, the recent releases of Tales of Graces f and Tales of the Abyss 3DS in the West and future games in the series. The videos indicate this is apparently a four-part series, so expect the fourth and final video to be released sometime soon.
Last year Funimation revealed that they picked up the North American rights to Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike. The company has now revealed the official dub cast list for the game as well as the first dubbed teaser trailer for the movie.
Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike is a prequel to the game, focusing on Yuri and Flynn's past when they were in the Imperial Knights. Estelle, Raven, and Rita also have cameos, along with some other characters created specifically for the movie.
Tomorrow's the North American release of Tales of Graces f and Namco Bandai's released the official launch 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.
Tales of Graces f will be released in North America tomorrow with the European release following sometime in Summer 2012 where it will be also be localized in German and French.
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.

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.
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.
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.
Back in January, we got word that Schwartz from Tales of Legendia would be a boss character in the game. Today we have a new trailer showcasing how she'll appear and fight in the upcoming Sony PSP title.
