Was hoping to find a release date on the product page. I am sad.

Hopefully newegg will come through like they did on graces f.

I don't want my dreams of someday getting official English versions of games like Rebirth, Destiny 2 or Destiny DC dashed!

Well NB did say that but it seems like we should take it with a grain of salt since they said the same thing with Grace F.

Until there is some kind of official word I'm not going to worry one bit. There is now a track record with the last few Tales games released in the US of selling well and there has been a very public push to keep the localizations coming.

What's the pre-order bonus for this?

That would be nice. A soundtrack or some other physical item would also be nice.

Never played a tales game until a month ago when I picked up graces, and I am in love with the series. I enjoyed the game so much that I platinumed it, and I usually don't do that especially when it took around 80 hours to do. Anyway already snagged Vesperia, and when I heard Ni No was similar snagged it and playing it now. I will then play Vesperia. Xilla is a day 1 purchase for me, but defo not from gamestop. But still appreciate the heads up, thanks op!

Assuming it's similar to the Japanese version (like Graces was), it'll be a Cress costume for Jude and a Stahn costume for Milla (both costumes include hair styles (you can switch costumes and hair in Xillia, the hair isn't dependent on the costume anymore) and there's at least one attachment (sheathed sword on hip)), and possibly one of those PS3 themes that rotates through the 6 characters.

Maybe follow sites like ign.com or gamespot.com so you can keep up with new releases? We are starting to see too many announcements of new games. Should I put a thread if a new Dora game comes out? How do we determine what is worth posting or not?

I agree, do we need a new thread for every game coming out?

OP even says "not a deal" in the first post.

Did any of the international releases have a collectors option available? I'm a huge Takes fan

God damn it I guess Graces F must not have done as well as I'd hoped if this is true... and if it happens not even XSEED could probably convince them to let them bring games over. Honestly, they missed their biggest opportunities early in the PSP lifecycle and during the PS2's lifecycle for Tales to really shine in the west. Now days most tales games are a generation behind technologically/graphically. So that doesn't help. Hell, even FFXII has better texturing than Xillia does. And that's a PS2 game...

No other publisher could get the rights to publish Tales games. Tales games are developed in house byTales studio within Namco Bandai Japan. So in essence if they don't bring them stateside themselves they wouldn't just let another publish do so without a pretty penny.

Originally Posted by PancakesAreLove A note to all Tales fan. NB said that they looking at Xillia sales to see whether they should continue publishing the series outside of Japan. So if this one doesn't sell well it could mean the end of the Tales series in NA/EU.

Maybe they should stop making shitty Tales games.

Booj, I have to stop you there. Tales of Xillia isn't your typical Tales of game. Even tales of xillia 2 has a cero c rating which is the equivalent to an M rating here. These two games are a big departure from your regular Tales games. They are well above your average save the world typical power of friendship stuff.

Cero C is 15+, you must be thinking of Cero D which is 17+.

Also, both are still pretty much your standard Tales games storywise. They do make advancements in game mechanics like the Xilla 2 protagonist being silent for the most part and having choices and multiple endings.

oh XD, point is its gone up in age limted, they usually are cero B ratings.

I've been accumulating GameStop gift cards for awhile now. Might have to use one towards this game. But I'll wait until there's an actual release date announced.

Those are actually my two go-to sites for news (though not for reviews). But, last I checked, they didn't post things like, "X game is now up for order at Gamestop". Give me a break. Let the poster decide what's worth posting. If the rest of the community disagree, that will be stopped pretty quickly. In this case, it seems like there are just a couple that DON'T appreciate this kind of heads up. And my earlier point still stands...why not just ignore these threads?

I was at a GS last week and the worker was really pushing me to pre-order titles. He gave me a list of PS3 games coming out and Xillia was listed as 7/2, but he wouldn't say if that was a solid release date. FWIW.
