New Tales of Graces Scan Reveals Two New Characters

A new Weekly Shonen Jump Tales of Graces scan has been released, which seems to have revealed two new playable characters, as well as some new information about the PlayStation 3 port of Tales of Vesperia. 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 black-haired male's name is Hubert Oswell (voiced by Takahiro Mizushima) and is Asbel's younger brother (by one year). The red-haired female's name is Shelia Barnes/Burns (voiced by Shiho Kawaragi) and is the granddaughter of the butler working for Asbel. It appears the male favors close-hand combat, while the female uses spells to attack. The scan also shows a new swimsuit costume for Flynn, entitled Short-Sleeved Prince, which has Mieu from Tales of the Abyss on the logo.

A big thanks goes to throughhim413 from Absolute Zero Translations for the scan translations.
