Tales of Graces is actually a bit of a bitch compared to other NTSC-J games in that you either get a specific fix (an xml file) that let's the game run through Riivolution or you resort to NeoGAMMA, a Homebrew application for loading backups, as opposed to just running imported games through other loaders such as Gecko OS with the latest cIOS installed. It appears as though Namco-Bandai put a little more protection on this game, just to make sure us western Tales fans do not get to play it. It took me a while but I tracked down this information after my imported copy of Tales of Graces arrived and I've tested it myself. Both methods work perfectly, but of course we will all be using the former when the patch is released.
Don't worry everyone. When the patch is finally released, the translation team will most likely include a straight forward guide to launching the game properly with the patch installed, with all the necessary requirements included within the download file along with the patch. Try not to feel intimidated, the requirements are minimal and it's actually lot simpler than it sounds. :)

Yes you can still go online with the Homebrew Channel installed. You can do everything you normally do with the HBC installed to your Wii, just refrain from updating when Nintendo requests you to, as it will most likely remove it.
How technical is your game?
