Although we eagerly await more information, this confirmation should be good enough for most Tales fans. Well, except the really angry ones who don't have a PS3.

Enough to show how excited I am. Was actually going to import it this month before the teaser site showed up.
Saved me $100+

I was under the impression they were done with America when it came to the Tales Of series. With the lack of the Phantasia PSP game coming over, the lack of the release of almost half of the PS2 generation of Tales games (Destiny 2, Destiny Director's Cut, Rebirth), Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2, and the entire DS library, I had pretty much put Namco out of my mind entirely.
This... might actually be good. They just need some good voice actors, dual audio (because the weaboos will RAGE), and all the bug fixes that they may have accumulated over time. I'm pleased with this decision. Hopefully, if it sells well, they'll bring over more Tales Of games.
I will say this now. Namco. I hope you are listening: RELEASE A GOOD DEMO FOR THIS GAME. For the love of God we are in an economic crisis and no one is going to pay for an anime game that doesn't appeal to them. They'll see the anime graphics, nearly spit their Redbull, then grab whatever trashy Call of Duty game is halfway down the isle and call it a day. Draw them in. Show them why we loved you and wanted you back over here. Make them believe.
Or kick their dog. Both work, apparently. Activision kicks their consumers in the teeth constantly and they eat it up.

I'm not angry, I'm buying a PS3 for this (and the 20 other games exclusives I've wanted for a while)

It's a great time to jump on the train.
And then get hit by the avalanche of great PS3 exclusives that are coming this year!

I'm very tempted to buy a PS3 as well, but ugh. This is kind of a kick in the nuts to Wii owners, but then, what else is new? As a Wii owner, you just have to get used to third parties and their self-fulfilling prophecy of the Wii has no hardcore games so there's no market, so we don't make hardcore games for the Wii. Or that bullshit like Epic with their oh, we can't do normal maps on the Wii, and we can't make a good game without them (we suck at making good art).
I was looking forward to a game that can really make the Wii hardware shine like the Tales series can with its great texture work. But I guess this is better than nothing? At least this time they didn't think, screw those ugly hairy westerners altogether, they're not getting our game, like they usually do?

HELL YEAH! About time they announced this. Now all we need is Vesperia PS3 and I'll be happy.
Also them not to deny us on Tales of Xillia in the future.

Nice. But now all hope of Vesperia for PS3 also coming over seems lost.

I'd hold on to a SHRED of hope.
There were multiple images on the teaser site, and Graces F was the first of them. If it's going in order, Vesperia should be next, whenever they decide to announce it.

Err, wait, I was wrong. The 'supposed' Vesperia image was a few images down in the sequence, and the Graces image was first, so... maybe they just need to work their way to it.
It's all supposition at this point. =/

Just think of it like this. If many people buy this game, they might think of *GASP* localizing ANOTHER Tales?!

If this is a test for the Tales series, I would think that it would be for whether or not bringing the newer Tales of Xillia over is worth it. Even though Vesperia is already mostly localized, who would still buy it for PS3? I'm guessing the hardcore Tales fans probably already bought a 360 for it. Namco may even have a exclusivity deal with Microsoft for Vesperia in the west.

Some Tales fans on FAQs are actually complaining that we got this instead of PS3 Vesperia. This is why we can't have nice things. (read: why we didn't have Tales for three years)

To be fair though Tales studio was in significant turmoil/dire straits when Graces and Narikiri Dungeon X got released.
They have stabilized quite a bit since then.

It would be very special (and NOT without precedent) if they did a PS3 and XBOX 360 release of Tales of Graces F in North America/Europe.

I have a PS3 and a Wii (as well as an Xbox 360, but I try to ignore its existence), and I'd much rather play JRPGs one the PS3. I played the Japanese demo and didn't understand it at all, apart from the fact that it's awesome. This is the best news this year. Apart from all the other "best news".

But everyone should enjoy JRPG's regardless of what console they backed. I loved Vesperia and Magna Carta 2 a lot!!
