A new character has been revealed to be in Tales of Graces, as well as what seems to be something related to the Nintendo DS. 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.

Richard's seiyuu is Daisuke Namikawa. He seems to be a prince in the same country Asbel Lhant lives in, and is well-respected by the citizens. He is a good friend of Asbel's since childhood. His forte in battle seems to be sword-based attacks.

This image seems to hint at a downloadable title for the Nintendo DS (unknown if this is included with the game or given out in some other method), according to rough translations (we'll update on this when we learn more). It almost looks as if this is a Tales of-take on the Mysterious Dungeon genre, from what can be seen in the scans.
