First off, two new articles about Tales of Hearts from GameWatch and Degenki. They pretty much talk about the information we posted before in previous news posts. They have the background story in there:
"Within the thorny forest sleeps a princess. A princess asleep for a thousand years.
Her flowing hair is of emerald color, her shamed cheeks of crystal rose.
Within the thorny forest sleeps a princess. A helpless princess held captive.
Her hair spun by a demon, cursed with poisoned thoughts.
The princess within the thorns, forever, forever, she sees a dream
A dream of the world vanishing."
White and Black, two moons that revolve around this world.
The empire dominates this whole world
Leaving the people in warm peace and harmony
"The Sleeping Princess in the Thorny Forest," "The Monster that Feeds on Dreams," "The Black Moon that will One Day Fall"
Those are the tales that have been known to the people.
But recently, the "Despir Disease" has spread, mysteriously affecting the people's spirits.
What was supposed to be a fairytale of a monster feeding on dreams has now come true, with the existence of the Zeroms.
As a counter, the existence of the Spiria within the people's minds began. The humans' Spiria prevents the Zerom from going within their hearts with the Spir Maze, a labyrinth to their hearts. Within there, one can fight the Zerom with the powerful weapons called Soma, which only a chosen few can wield.
In one of the outlying villages, living an ordinary life, is our hero Shing.
There, he meets the heroine washed at shore.
His desire for this adventure yet his ignorance for what's to become starts this journey...
For those wondering about the trademarking of "Tales of Hearts" by Namdai US, Cless from the Phantasian Productions Forum confirmed it through here, the trademark office. Again, these are just trademarks, and not the actual localization (they trademarked Rebirth and Tempest before, but those have expired and never came to the US)
As for Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2, we have new info/screenshots from Degenki. Said screenshots have been added to gallery. We have the main storyline here. As usual, you are a Descender, someone born from the World Tree of the World Granide. Since time immemorial, the people of Granide have been in war over the power of the World Tree. Apparently, you fall from the sky and on to the Van Eltia (Chat's ship in ToE), which is also a guild similar to Ad Libitum in RM1. Kannono Earhart (Kannono from RM1), a member of that guild takes you in and introduces you to Chat, a descendant of the great pirate Aifried, the captain of the Van Eltia and the leader of the guild. There, you help out with the guild that has the Van Eltia as its base. There are also descriptions for the Tales characters here, but they pretty much tally with their actual roles in their respective games, i.e. Guy is Luke's servant who has difficulty with women, Cless is a sword instructor from the village of Rosette, Spada is actually of nobility, but ran away from home, stuff like that. The article also says that some of the previous characters who weren't playable may become playable now.
Lastly, two new magazine scans for Tales of Vesperia. Pretty much confirms Hi-Ougi cut-ins for bosses, as well as the return of the beloved Wonder Chef, and like before, you find him hiding in conspicous looking things  . Finally, names of the blue-haired guy and the two girls fighting Yuri in the opening movie have been revealed. The guy is Iegar (romaji IEGAA), the red orange-haired girl is Gosh (GOSHU) and the yellow-haired girl is Drowette (DOROWETTO). They are part of the guild "Leviathan's Claws," and is a guild full of assassins, the same ones after Flynn and Yuri. You'll notice from the scans Nan and Tison's cut-ins, as well as a combo cut-in from Gosh and Drowette.
Judith from our Forums also pointed out a new boss battle video, which you can find here, from Famitsu.
I will be a little inactive for a while because of my preliminaries... So many things to study AAUUGGHHH!
