Earlier today was the first day of Tales of Festival 2010, which brought some new news along with it, along with partial results of the Tales of Popularity poll that was going on at Tales Channel earlier this year.
Namco Bandai has confirmed the rumors that Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X will be having demos. The first demo will hit in early July, which will focus on the improved battle system in the Tales of Phantasia part of the game. Later in the month, a second demo will hit which features the Narikiri Dungeon X portion of the game. The rumored August 5, 2010 release date was also confirmed at the event.
As for the rumored PS3 Tales game, known as Tales of Unitia, the game was a no-show at the Festival except for a mention that this Summer a "major" announcement would occur. It's unknown why they would push the unveiling that far, but they may be putting some extra polish on the game and didn't want to unveil it just yet.
More news as well as the results of the popularity polls can be found in the full story.
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.
New DLC costumes for the male characters in Tales of Graces have been revealed, as well as a video showing off Sophie's Hatsune Miku-themed costume. 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.
The costumes will be released on December 23rd (same day as Sophie's Hatsune Miku DLC costume), but each costume is 400 Wii Points. There is one for Asbel, Hubert, and Malik. It's not currently known if purchasing all three of the costumes will net players a special after-battle skit like the Idolmaster-themed costumes.
The final character videos from the official website for Tales of Graces have been released, which focus on Cheria, Richard, and Hubert.

A new Tales of Graces scan has been revealed, which reveals new information about the child-versions of the characters that were just recently announced. 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.
There's various new details placed throughout this scan, so we'll start first with the characters, which are detailed in the full story.
It appears that Yahoo Japan has accidentally leaked the release date for Tales of Graces, which was set for a vague Winter 2009 release date in Japan.
According to the leak (which has been taken down from Yahoo's servers), the game will be released on December 10th, 2009 for 7329 Yen. The bonuses for the game will be a "Special DVD" (a placeholder Namco Bandai uses before they reveal the true name of the DVD) and some sort of downloadable costume title (no word on who it is for or what it is).
This release date is a week before Final Fantasy XIII's release in Japan, so Namco Bandai is likely trying to preempt it to gain more sales.
