During this year's Tales of Festival we got our first look at Tales of Xillia's official boxart, which featured two currently unannounced characters. This week's scan reveals one of those characters --- specifically the man in the upper right who was just recently featured in the latest trailer for the game.
Tales of Xillia will utilize the contrast between light and shadow, which will lead to the game having a different art style direction than Vesperia's anime-style graphics or Graces's watercolor-style graphics (it could be more of a hand-painted or oil painting-like feel if the concept artwork is any indication). Baba stated that when he saw some of the concept artwork images running on actual hardware he was very impressed.
Keep on reading to find out more about the new character.
Dengeki has just revealed news about a new Mutsumi Inomata-themed costume for Malik Caesars 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 previous Mutsumi Inomata costumes, including Pascal, Cheria Barnes and Asbel Lhant, Malik's costume is very unique, a samurai design with some animal printed on the front of it.
According to Dengeki, the DLC will be 400 Nintendo Points and will be released on March 31st starting at 1pm JST (Japanese Standard Time). The only character yet to have received a custom costume is Richard.

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.

No information has been given on costumes for Richard or Malik Caesars.
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.
