I'd be more excited for these games if I knew they were actually coming to the west for localization. So far none of the DS/wii tales titles have been mentioned about being released here in the states. Still got my fingers crossed for a PS3 Vesperia though, lord knows the PS3 needs a good JRPG already.
Actually that only applies to the DS Tales games, there has only been 1 Wii Tales game thus far and that's Dawn of the New World, which did come stateside, and is planned for a Europe release very soon.
The only real hint to Graces' localization is the fact that an English version of the theme song is planned for release, and there really isn't any reason to make an English version unless it's to target an English-speaking demographic--i.e. America.
And check higher up this page--or last page, I think--for some good Vesperia localization news, Troy Baker is on the move.
As for RPG games: I've been playing mostly Dragonquest VIII and started back up on Xenogears. DQ8 is good, but I just don't have the time and patience for it at the moment. Doesn't help that there's essentially no real character development(aside from very small portions of the game) and the plot isn't anything terribly special. The alchemy pot feels like such a chore at times as well.
Xenogears has been alright so far.
The only new RPG I've been into is "Tales of Eternia" (or known as "Tales of Destiny 2" in America, super fun.
I was thinking of doing a log, but my Tales of Destiny log failed (and not even epically), so I'm not gonna waste my time on it.
