Which translates to: "When I mentioned being on sale for the Wii, I meant Tales of Graces, and not Tales of Vesperia! I truly apologize to everyone for the misunderstanding!!!!" (09.11.09)
So there we have it, false alarm =\.
(Nov. 6, 2009) Rumors about Tales of Vesperia making its way to the Nintendo Wii have been floating around for a little while now. The source of this is the personal blog of Rikiya Koyama, Duke Pantarei's voice actor. In his recent blog post, this particular paragraph started the rumor:
Which is translated into: "Tales of Vesperia is for the Xbox (360), and then for the PS3, and now, it's coming to the Wii. Right, even a theater anime has been shown to the public (b-but I don't appear in it?), and the drama CDs have also been successively released!! I did a lot of recordings for the Volume 6 drama CD!! This time, I get a lot of turns in it!! Once it's on sale, I'll notify you guys again!!"
A lot of us, including myself, believe that he was just referring to Tales of Graces, seeing as it's the most recent Tales game coming out for the Wii. But throughout the whole paragraph, he was discussing Tales of Vesperia (and its drama CD). You would at least believe that he was referring to Vesperia when he mentioned the Wii. For now, we'll classify this as a rumor... or a misunderstanding.

His last name probably doesn't come from anything. Kind of like Final Fantasy VI where Kefka's last name is Palazzo for no apparent reason and it isn't even mentioned in the game.
Though when it comes to last names, I don't recall Estelle's ever being mentioned either, you only see it on her status screen.

Uh, I'm sorry I really didn't notice his name there. Thank you.
Pantarei, does it come from somewhere?

@vienne: Yea it is Vesperia's time but Symphonia and Destiny at least had breathing room.. It had been like a year or two before the OVA or the sequal etc. same for Abyss. Abyss came out in 2006(in Japan) the Anime came out in 2009 that's enough breathing room for me. Vesperia is having a year of breathing room.... We are all looking at Graces right now, yet how can we focus on Graces when its all "VESPERIA VESPERIA!!!" I wouldn't mind as much if it had a year breathing room like Abyss Symphonia and Destiny, but it doesn't. How can we get excited when half of the entire world that owns Vesperia hasn't even gotten the chance to beat the 360 version before the PS3 version was even announced!? People have put it down for that reason. I'm lucky enough that I beat the 360 version before the PS3 port was announced.. Just an opinion, it needs breathing room..
It Takes quite a time to develop or may i say, port between xbox360 version to Ps3 version. So that's it....
Vesperia's time were passed, now Graces
Graces is awesome one, even on Wii~ i can't wait to play...

Yeah, most intelligent people figured that. ToV on the Wii would definitely take away some of the games aspects and charm, not to mention the cost it would take to revamp. Glad it's just a false alarm.
