Why wait for Tales news next week, when Nintendo Power can spoil it?

 

Yes, this is a Nintendo Power article; not scanned by me as my sub ended last month, and yes this does mean Tales of the Abyss 3D is making it stateside. 

3.... 2.... 1....
HOLY SHIT YES, ALL REGRETS ABOUT GETTING MY 3DS ARE GONE!

Namco teased us this week saying to expect some exciting news next week, well it looks like Nintendo Power jumped the gun, and someone got a hold of the announcement before Namco could formally say a damned word. 
Seeing how I am too freaking hyped to post like a professional here's another two scans:

This bottom scan has a great interview with the series producer, and he sheds some light upon the recent revival of Tales outside of Japan and how long it's taken them to achieve this. Here's and excerpt:

Nintendo Power

We're overjoyed to see the Tales series returning to the west with Tales of the Abyss for N3DS and Tales of graces F. How has your approache to the localization of the series changed over the last few years?

Makoto Yoshizumi

Japanese RPGs have a huge amount of text that requires a lot of time to localize. and not just time, of course, but money as well. We've tried taking steps on our end to help alleviate this problem, and we're starting to see results. Hopefully, we can now look forward to seeing more games in the "Tales of" series being enjoyed by a worldwide audience.

At the end of the interview Nintendo Power asks if we can expect to see mroe info on Tales of Graces F soon, as well as the platform, and he said we should be getting info soon. Hell yes, more Tales, is ALWAYS A GOOD THING.
