A total of 53 new screen shots of Tales of Graces f have surfaced, containing scenes from the post-ending arc's plot and images of Asbel's and Sophie's new Blast Calibers.
Main plot of the post-ending arc: It is six months after the events of the main game. With Lord Aston's death, the responsibility of being the Feudal Lord of Lhant has been passed on to Asbel. Everyday has been a bustling busy life for the young man.
One day, Asbel receives a letter from Richard, informing him that the monsters Lambda have called forth before have been wreaking havoc in various regions of the world, and asks his help in eradicating them. Including Cheria, Hubert who was still assigned in Strata, Malik and Pascal who were currently in Fendel and Sophie, the old comrades who now reside scattered throughout the world of Efinea join arms once again. With love and strong will within their chests, the new story unfolds...
Asbel and Sophie's new Blast Calibers: The new screen shots also show new scenes from Asbel's Tenhajin Raidan and Sophie's Shadow Moment. Sophie's new cut-in is also shown in one shot, but it seems even with her new costume, her cut-in retains her old one. We also see Sophie sporting weapons with the designs of Swordian Dymlos and Swordian Atwight from Tales of Destiny.
New artes for Sophie also revealed, namely スラッシュローズ (Slash Rose) and リンカーネーション (rinkaaneeshon, Linkernation? Reincarnation? "Reincarnation" should be like this though: リーンカーネーション [riinkaaneeshon].).
The HQ artwork for Sophie's new costume has also been uploaded here.
If you'll check the official sites for Tales of Graces f and Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology, they have embedded the game trailers via Namdai Japan's official YouTube account. The trailer for ToG-f is the same as the first one revealed yesterday, and so is the RM3 trailer except that it features bits of the characters' voices, including our new Kanonno Grassvalley voiced by Aya Hirano. Kanonno this time around sounds a bit more reserved, in my opinion.

The trailer shows some post-ending scenes. We see Sophie offering flowers to Lord Aston's grave, thinking that one day, everyone else will leave her behind as they go on to the next life. She imagines that it is Asbel's name on the grave stone, and thinks that it would be very sad to be left alone. She wishes, "It'd be better if I was able to go with everyone else instead."
More info: According to ToPNDX's staff blog, the "f" in the game's title means "Future". The post-ending events will start off half a year after the original ending, with monster attacks increasing throughout the world. Asbel and party set off again to find a fix to this. This new after story chapter contains a voice script already 3/4 that of the original Graces' script. Now that's long.
Sophie's new costume is designed by Mutsumi Inomata. It is to be interpreted as Sophie being just a normal girl residing within the world. Hideo Baba states that the other characters will be getting their own new costumes to fit the post-ending scenario.
Today marks the release of Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X! To those who ordered, enjoy your copies! And, again, thank you to those two who ordered the game from Play-Asia through us. I had said that I would have our ToPNDX page ready soon, but I'm still currently caught up with school work. Hopefully I'll have it up and running by next week.
Namco Bandai has put up a teaser site for the upcoming "15th Tales Anniversary Title" with a countdown for the actual day of the 15th anniversary. It currently counts to 135 days left till reveal, so that would be around the 15th of this December. Aside from the previously revealed concept art, more artworks are also available on the teaser site. They are quite small though.
In the Tales 2010 Lineup Presentation at Tokyo, Producer Hideo Baba states that this is definitely not the rumored "Tales of Unitia for the PS3". The name of the game is currently under deliberation, he says. They say that they do not have a character designer nor an artist for the theme song yet. Only thing confirmed so far is that Daigo Okumura will be in charge of art design.
