So Tales of Graces F for the ps3 is finally getting localized W00t! Thats right everybody...Namco Bandai is actually bringing a game over to us. So whether this is just for this game or not I think there is a chance now that we will get Link! This might be the way that Namdai finally redeems itself. So everybody needs to buy this game when it is released to show Namdai that they still have a western market!

Well, i'm not sure if that's actually the "main site" or not, but at least it was the site where that Rich guy was doing some guessing game thing to fill up the fans' expectations of a new game with a Tales-looking logo. And it worked.

AWESOME news indeed, as after so darn long, Namco Bandai FINALLY listens to the Tales fans, localizating a Tales games for once (of course, even with this epic news they've been demanding and dreaming for so long, MANY Tales fans are still pissed or at least unhappy, because it's not Vesperia or it's not "the original Graces" or whatever, but anyways =3=; )

And some people say that this might mean .Hack//LINK won't be released for the PSP, but in my opinion, it means the WHOLE opposite. I mean, damn, they FINALLY listened to their fans and will LOCALIZE a game, they're not just pretending to not hear anything and releasing new random stuff without looking around one bit!! This gives us FAR MORE hope about seeing a LINK localization than if they just remained quiet about it and didn't localize one single game of any series. So, keep up with the support!! And i'd say that now, rather to continue telling them to "LOCALIZE .HACK//LINK PLZ!!!", it would be a great time to congratulate them about what they're doing and how thankful we're about it...even if we aren't Tales fans (well, some of us are, but i'm speaking about the .Hack fanbase specifically), we have to let them know we're very happy that they're localizing a game and would want them to continue doing so. Obviously keeping up with the .Hack commenting and how we love the series and would love to have LINK localized, yes, but i just think that thanking them and supporting this current Graces localization would look much better than if we would just continue shouting ".HACK//LINK!!", like if they hadn't done anything or we were ignoring this.

Fun fact: a fan group had already started working on a translation for Graces F using jailbreaker some time ago. So yeah, people calling Namdai a troll all over the place cuz of that lol

Well the only thing that really bothers me is that Tales fans have been complaining for AWHILE and we have only been for a couple months so I'm not sure if Namco Bandai will listen to us but still this is good news for Tales fan (such as myself) and gives me hope as a .hack fan.

Regarding the Tales series...

"There is a strong existing fanbase. The buzz became too big to ignore, in a sense. Our company’s new theme and challenge is how to embrace community," Makoto Iwai, Bandai Label President, said in a Siliconera interview.

Maybe this is a good sign indeed.

I am a big fan of the tales series as well, but with this I'm hoping they localize link....

Something tells me our campaign had soemthing to do with this. Could this be that this whole senario has been shifted in reverse? And Tales fans will help us get what we want from Namco Bandai? Imagine the possibilities. :O

Yeah that would be very nice. hopefully we hear something soon.

I'm hoping to find a lot of letters in dothacker's PO box tomorrow. It's hard mobilizing on the Internet, unless it becomes somewhat viral (which this whole Tales Facebook uprisng did).

To tell the truth,
The Namco Bandai never little cares about your fans!

...I'm sorry, and you know i no longer have intentions of mocking your grammar and spelling, i try to avoid it as much as possible...but seriously, fix that or rewrite it with different words or something. I simply CAN'T understand what you just said D8
You just said like a...double contradiction right there. "Never little cares"? You mean that they "didn't care about their fans"= Or that they "gave no little care", as in, giving ALOT of care to their fans? >_O;

I was going to say something earlier but I have been going around a lot lately acting like a mod kinda so I'm not trying to go around shadow modding or whatever its called.

Wait...If this is getting Localized..Will...The Xth Form be in here or not?

Who knows. I'm thinking that it might in favor of the more Japanese costumes from Japan-only series and such. But who knows just keep our fingers crossed is all we can do for the time being.
