I just noticed that Tales of Abyss on 3DS did better in USA than it did in Japan (bombed in Europe though), so I don't get why they wouldn't try to localize other Tales games on portables. Anyways, I'm really enjoying Tales of Hearts R. Look at the pretty picture :)

I'm playing Tales of Graces at the moment, and there are lots of pretty artistic scenes and beautifully designed caverns and stuff.  I'm really enjoying it.  And it just makes me long to have a portable Tales game.  

The thing with Abyss was: the translation was already (mostly) done.  They'd have to start with scratch for Innocence/Graces, and I presume their translation team is currently working on Tales of Xillia.  I wish they'd just outsource it to NIS or something.  I remember reading somewhere Baba saying that he'd like to bring Hearts to western audiences.

You're right, i didn't think about the Tales of Abyss's english script mostly existing ^^".

I've read on several US localization companies (Xseed, NISA ) that they both tried to localize Tales games before and Namco refused. why !? If Namco wasn't going to localize, how would another company localizing their game effect them negatively? I am not familiar how localization works, but isn't it pure win for Namco ? Namco I don't understand you :(
