After many months of Namco Bandai’s Tales facebook page being bombarded with rabid Western fans desperately asking for their next ‘Tales of’ fix, Namco Bandai surprised the community by putting up a teaser site that suggested an upcoming announcement dated for February 2nd. The site contained a cipher that the company expected to be solved no sooner than a week after being put up; the community did it in only a few hours.
While the unexpected haste did present some problems for Namco, having to result to remaining quiet over the next few days while playfully distorting the teaser website with photoshopped images, the expected announcement on February 2nd did, in fact, turn out to be that Tales of Graces F would finally be brought over to North America.
No announcements were made as to when the game would release, or what platform(s) it would be coming to, but for the moment it seems to be enough that a Tales game is finally coming over to North America. A European release has not yet been confirmed by Namco Bandai.
