After teasing a new bit of Tales of Graces f-related news via Twitter earlier today, Namco Bandai's community Manager Richard Bantegui has came through with a new English trailer and more importantly: a release date for the North American release.
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.
According to the trailer, the release date is set for March 13, 2012.

UPDATE: Added some more information about the details revealed in the trailer.
Earlier this week there was a leaked scan detailing the new Rave system in Tales of Innocence R. Another new scan has been released which shows an eighth new character to the already revealed seven characters (including QQ) along with the game's release date.
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.
The new character, Conway Tau, is a male and is voiced by Nojima Kenji. The scan also reveals that the game will be released on January 26, 2012 in Japan.

UPDATE (11/6): We've replaced the partial scan with the full scan.
Last week Namco Bandai revealed that they would be attending Japan Expo 2011 and would be showing off Tales of Graces f and Tales of the Abyss 3DS, among other titles. We have information about the games thanks to early reports from people who went to the event, including Tales of the Abyss 3DS's finalized European release date.
Tales of the Abyss was originally released on the PS2 on December 15, 2005 and was localized in North America on October 10, 2006. The game was regarded as an improvement over Tales of Symphonia, extending that game's multi-line battle system into a battle system which allows players to freely move about the field in battle.
According to reports, a couple trailers for Tales of the Abyss 3DS were shown off. Tales of Graces f was supposed to receive a trailer but was canned due to technical difficulties, so it was replaced with the Tales of Xillia scenario trailer which received a huge applause when Hideo Baba asked fans if they wanted the game in Europe.

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.

According to the scan, the game will be released on February 10, 2011. Along with the release date, Flynn Scifo (Vesperia), Natalia Luzu Kimlasca Lanvaldear (Abyss) and Shing Meteoryte (Hearts) will be playable characters. The scan also reveals that the game will be getting a pre-order bonus in the form of "animation film" frames from the game's opening and some of the various Mystic Artes.
Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 3 is set to be released for the PSP on February 10, 2011 in Japan. No word on an North American or European release.
It would seem that Namco Bandai is in a revealing mood as of late. Details for the Tales of Graces f demo were released yesterday and today Namco Bandai have given a definite release date for the finished product. Along with a release date, details on pre-order bonuses have been announced.
The scheduled date of release for Tales of Graces f is December 2. The game will be priced at ¥8,379, which is a higher price than the original Wii version. The official site for Tales of Graces f also detailed a few pre-order bonuses including a drama DVD, costumes, and a custom theme for the PS3.
The drama DVD will include a special drama skit entitled "Mamoritai Download Version," a collection of promotional movies and a special message from the voice actor of one of the main characters: Asbel Lhant. The DVD comes in an extra large jacket which has illustrations by designer Mutsumi Inomata. The jacket measures 25x25cm.
The costumes and custom theme will be available to download from PSN with special codes that will be printed on the back of the DVD jacket. The codes will redeem Tales of Graces 2 costumes for Asbel, Sophie and Richard as well as the series' first custom PS3 theme.
Tales of Graces f still has no planned release date in North America or Europe.
A new Weekly Shonen Jump scan has revealed the release date for the PlayStation 3 port of Tales of Vesperia, which originally appeared on the Xbox 360 almost a year ago. The PlayStation 3 port of Tales of Vesperia includes numerous extras and changes, such as a brand new character, Patty Fleur, the addition of new bosses like the Sword Dancer, Flynn being playable for more that just one battle, among other changes. The game will also be fully voiced and will include new and altered scenes, such as Yuri fighting Don Whitehorse when the party visits Keiv Moc.
The PlayStation 3 port will be released on September 17th in Japan. The opening animated cutscene, as well as the event cutscenes, will be redone to include Patty, so it seems like she is being added in as a normal character instead of an extra "hidden" character. The scan also hints at a new Giganto Monster being available. In the original Xbox 360 version, they were monsters that were much bigger and tougher than your normal monster, forcing the player to wait till they were near the end of the game to fight them without getting instantly killed.
