this is certainly good news!

My day has got even better!

speaking of tales, is tales of graces ever going to come over?

no

It is a shame but i believe that we may as well just give up on Tales of Graces and Tales of Vesperia for the PS3. I am pleased though, that talented, hardworking translators have made a patch for Tales of Innocence and are currently working on Tales of Hearts. This is very good news indeed.

Graces at least will probably get a fan translation.  They seem pretty easy to implement on Wii too going by the Fatal Frame trans/patch, you don't even need to mod your Wii or install HBC to play it.

That is true. I believe a number of people were interested in translating the game actually, including the same individuals who translated Fatal Frame 4 and the guy who did the Tales of Destiny PS2 translation. It appears as though this possible translation is a bit more underground than the likes of the Tales of Innocence project, but i do not believe that it has been abandoned at all. I recall there being minor translation snippets showcased around Youtube and such a couple months back too. Graces seems to be getting a lot of attention actually, i may have overlooked more possible translation attempts.

And yes you're right about the simplicity of patching Wii games. Riivolution is quickly gaining popularity among homebrew users and gets updated fairly regularly. I honestly believe if a full English translation patch for the game is released there'd be a sharp increase in the number of imported copies of the game. I too would would import if such an event occurred. 

I will keep playing Xenoblade before i start to think about other RPG...

Finally, I've really been holding my breath! ...

Interesting, wonder if the group will do Tales of Hearts.

That´s great and really interesting but something bugs me. Is this translation supposed to be used on the Tales of Innocence catridge for the Nintendo DS or is it only usable with a Nintendo DS simulator on the computer? If the former is possible, then how?

I mean, I´ll still use it and play the game no matter what but the awesomeness would level up if I could play a translated Tales of Innocence on my actual DS.
