Dengeki has just revealed news about a new Mutsumi Inomata-themed costume for Asbel Lhant in Tales of Graces. Tales of Graces is the first mothership (the official series term for non-spin off games) for the Wii. The previous Wii Tales of title was Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, which was classified as a spin-off sequel.

Like the Mutsumi Inomata costumes for Pascal and Cheria Barnes, as well as the costume for Hubert Ozwell, Asbel's costume is very unique, appearing to mesh the ideas of a samurai and a aircraft pilot. According to Dengeki, the DLC will be 400 Nintendo Points and will be released on March 10th starting at 1pm JST (Japanese Standard Time). No information has been given on costumes for Richard or Malik Caesars.

Just when you thought there wasn't enough DLC Tales of Vesperia costumes, Namco Bandai has announced more. Since the release of Tales of Vesperia on the PS3 in September 2009, the company has released a various assortment of costumes, ranging from cameos of earlier Tales of games to cameos of older Namco Bandai properties.

This latest batch don't seem to have to do with either one, instead being called the "strongest" costumes. From the pictures shown, it looks like these costumes could be considered as high-level, flashy variations of their normal costumes (think of it as a class change for each character).

Each costume will be released on February 10, 2010 for 300 Yen a piece in Japan. No word has been announced on an localization for either North America or Japan.

Namco Bandai has revealed a new Mutsumi Inomata-themed costume for Hubert Ozwell in Tales of Graces. This game is the first mothership (Namco Bandai's term for non-spin-off games in the Tales of series) game for the Wii. The previous Tales of game for the Wii, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, was classified as a spin-off sequel.

According to the scan, both Hubert's costume (which makes him look like an android) and the previously revealed costume for Pascal will be available on February 13th, each 400 Wii Points.

It is currently unknown if any of the other characters besides Cheria, Pascal, and Hubert will be receiving special costumes like these in the future.

Namco Bandai has announced that two new DLC costumes will be coming soon to Tales of Graces. This game is the first mothership (Namco Bandai's term for non-spin-off games in the Tales of series) game for the Wii. The previous Tales of game for the Wii, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, was classified as a spin-off sequel.

Both costumes are designed by Mutsumi Inomata, the woman responsible for the character designs in Tales of Graces. According to Dengeki, both costumes will be available on January 20th, 2010. However, Famitsu's coverage didn't make note of that date, so it's uncertain if that is the correct date.

Improved Tales of Vesperia Abyss Costumes Now DLC

According to an update on Famitsu's website, Namco Bandai will be re-releasing the Tales of the Abyss cameo costumes on the PlayStation Store later this month. Originally, said costumes were only available to those who had pre-ordered the game before it's release earlier this year.

However, these costumes are not exactly the same as the ones that were released before. The hair color and other modifications were made to match the original Tales of the Abyss characters better (the pre-order costumes merely just added the clothing onto the characters), and the "clothing" icon that appears next to DLC costumes is also there now.

Namco Bandai will release these new costumes on December 15th for 150 Yen each as a tie in to mark the fourth anniversary of the original game's release in Japan.
