Tales of Rebirth Localization

http://tales.namco.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=90248&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

I've copied and pasted the Facebook note with links for preordering to here.

It's time to start supporting and marketing Tales of Graces F and Tales of the Abyss 3DS! Remember we've got to show Namco that there IS a fanbase for Tales in the west. So let's get those pre-order numbers up there!

Some online stores now have pre orders available for Tales of the Abyss for 3DS and Tales of Graces f for PS3.

You can ALSO pre-order both of these games at GameStop's but only in-store. They currently do not have them online. But if you can put just 5 bucks down on both of them that can reserve you a copy and add to the numbers which Namco can then see and then maybe realize that their games are loved outside of Japan. Which can also lead into us getting games like Tales of Xillia,Tales of Rebirth, Vesperia PS3, and maybe other older remakes!! So please do what you can!

Thank you everybody. Please keep supporting our campaign and also help these other campaigns:

According to a friend, Tales of Graces is back up on Amazon for pre-order with a placeholder date of December 31st, I haven't checked it myself so I can't confirm it to be true or not.

EDIT: Yes. It's there. I just checked!

You can ALSO pre-order both of these games at GameStop's now online and in-store, they both have placeholder dates of February 7th. Abyss is due out in the Fall, Graces F is due in the winter. But don't believe ANY dates you see until Namco Bandai has officially announced the date, which I will do my best to bring here to let everyone know. But if you can put just 5 bucks down on both of them that can reserve you a copy and add to the numbers which Namco can then see and then maybe realize that their games are loved outside of Japan. Which can also lead into us getting games like Tales of Xillia,Tales of Rebirth, Vesperia PS3, and maybe other older remakes!! So please do what you can!

The Aselian Movement is the name that all of the admins of the Tales campaigns have come up with as a name for all of us. We have quite a few things in the works coming up.

But we also work with the two pages below, which are very large pages. Operation Rainfall is a Nintendo movement for Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora's Tower in the America's. Mega Man Legends 3 is for the cancelled Capcom game called "Mega Man Legends 3" and they've named their page "100,000 Strong" they have gotten quite high up there as well.

This isn't aimed only for a "PSP localization" or for a "PS2 Localization". I have several ideas to where this title could go:

First: If Namco wants to build the series on the 3DS: Rebirth could EASILY follow, the new fans could be dragged in by Abyss 3DS, then play Rebirth 3DS and be sold and become fans of the series!!! It's a solid game. And the 3 line LMBS would look GORGEOUS in 3D!!!

Second: PSVita. Going along with Abyss 3DS as the 3DS's first Tales, they could port Rebirth and make it one of the Vita's first RPG's and gain more fans of the series. I don't know much about the Vita, I was unable to watch E3 (Stupid DirecTV.... -____-), but I've seen a bit and I believe Vita would be a good home for it! And I currently have no plans to purchase one, but if it's announced to be on Vita or ANY console I don't own, guess what I'll be doing? Immediately dropping everything and going to purchase the console it's on and pre-ordering the game. It's THAT important to me.

Third: The upcoming "PSP Remaster" system. Apparently PSP games are being remastered for the PS3, which still gives it a chance. And believe me you'll find me fighting tooth and nail if Japan is announed anything or if there's a chance such as Namco says they're thinking about it, I will be there. I would do anything to allow fans who haven't experienced this golden game to enjoy it in their native language!!

My reason for this is Tales of Rebirth has aided me through tough times. I turn it on and it draws me into the game, and the characters are just so likable and so is every aspect of the game that I can't describe it, no other game has made me feel this way about it.  

It's a wonderful story, with a wonderful lesson to be taught. "There is no color to life." Racism is a problem that we all face, and this game does a good job with that as the central theme. It's a more dark/serious based game. And I believe it's a very good contribution to the series.

There are sure to be doubts, and I see where they would come from. And I promise all of you that I have become serious about this. I originally made this page to see how much support I could drum up, but now I see that I want this to become a serious movement. This is something that I myself want to see through. I want to be able to fight so I can at least try. And, if in the end, it doesn't work out, I'll still have my Japanese version of Rebirth! And I highly recommend any of you that wish to play it to import it. It's a game anyone should be able to experience at least once. You don't have to understand Japanese to experience the joys of this game. There are links that I can provide that I'll get together one day to help any importers. 

Also! Don't forget that once we get release dates for Tales of the Abyss 3DS and Tales of Graces F (PS3), please purchase them if you're able to! We've got to show Namco that this series does stand a chance. It's a niche series now, but imagine if they eventually localized all the games. I could seriously see them competing with Final Fantasy some day. Because in my opinion as a fan of both series, I like Tales more, and I think it's better. But we've got to show Namco that this series can become big!!
