During our little break some new Tales of the Heroes: Twin Brave trailers were released. This time we have two more trailers for the team representing Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World.
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 will be released in Japan on February 23, 2012 for the Sony PSP. No North American or European release has been announced.
You may have noticed there's been a lull since our last post on Tales Union. Due to a number of behind-the-scenes stuff regarding GamingUnion.net and other IRL matters I was unable to post headlines up. That's finished for the most part so normal posting should resume again, but before that we'll be doing a quick roundup of the news that broke since our last posting.
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 scan to the left reveals that Kohak and Hisui Hearts from Tales of Hearts will be the game's team cameo battle opponents (with Milla Maxwell from Tales of Xillia being previously revealed as the singles cameo battle opponent). Two more Mystic Arte cut-ins, this time coming from some of the game's antagonists, are also visible in the scan along with DLC attachments for Sony's two cat mascots Toro and Kuro. Finally the scan reveals that extra costumes can be unlocked once the player plays through the game a second time.
Late last year we got the first unpainted version pictures of Alter's Rita Mordio figurine. Today we have our first glimpse at the painted version as well as news of two more of the company's figurines.
As can be seen in the pictures on Alter's blog, the painted version does keep the minature chibi version of Rita which we previously saw. Pre-orders for this figurine will begin on January 25, with the exact release date still unknown.
In other figurine news, Alter is also re-releasing their Yuri Lowell figurine. Pre-orders can be found here, although the exact date they'll be releasing is unknown.

According to posts on Namco Bandai's official Tales of Facebook wall, it appears that some GameStop retailers in North America are receiving Tales of Graces f promotional posters.
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.
It appears that said posters will be going up this Monday and that apparently Tales of the Abyss 3DS might be getting a poster as well (reports are suggesting that a placeholder box for pre-order purposes has already shown up for the Nintendo 3DS title). It's not currently know how many GameStops will be putting this up, however.
Tales of Graces f will be released in North America on March 13, 2012, with the European release following sometime in Summer 2012 where it will be also be localized in German and French.
UPDATE (1/22): We've clarified the promotional material for Tales of the Abyss 3DS and have added an image of the poster to the original headline.
Another week, another set of Tales of the Heroes: Twin Brave trailers. Usually we've just gotten character gameplay features, but this week we have a series of gameplay-related videos to look at.

Every week Namco Bandai has added at least one video to the official website for Tales of Innocence R, usually revolving around a character trailer or the like. This week we have not just another trailer (featuring Hermana's updated past-life Mystic Arte but also more information about the game's DLC content.
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.

Other DLC was also teased on the website which includes animal ears and glasses attachments. The former will retail for ¥100 while the latter will be free of charge, but no dates were given for either of them.

Back in December we got a glimpse of Tales of Graces f's boxart, which had the game's ESRB rating, T (Teen). Today we now know the description for the rating as the ESRB has released it on their website.
