Those who were wondering if Namco Bandai would offer pre-order bonuses for Tales of Graces f are in luck as GameStop's Canadian branch has announced pre-order bonuses for the game.
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 website, all pre-order copies will receive the same three DLC costumes and the two PS3 themes that were offered to consumers during the game's original Japanese release. As of now GameStop's North American branch nor Amazon (either branch) has yet to announce the same bonuses, so it's not clear if this is exclusive to Canada and/or GameStop or if said bonuses will be available globally.
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.
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.

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.

Last month Namco Bandai revealed that the playable characters in Tales of Innocence R would be receiving brand-new Mystic Artes. Up until now we've only seen still images of them but the publisher has just released two new videos showcasing them in their full glory.
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.
Tales of Innocence R will be released on January 26, 2012 in Japan for the PlayStation Vita. No word on a North American or European localization has currently been announced.

When Japanese gamers got their copies of Tales of Xillia earlier this year they couldn't help but notice that there were some features missing that had been included in previous Tales of releases. Thanks to an interview found in the full official Tales of Xillia guide those thoughts have been confirmed straight from Hideo Baba himself.
Tales of Xillia utilizes 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. Baba stated that when he saw some of the concept artwork images running on actual hardware he was very impressed.
According to the interview many planned elements were forced to be discarded due to time constraints, including the following...
