If you haven't played a Tales of game before you are really missed out, they are some of the best RPG games out today.  Fortunately for you guys you don't need to have played any of the former Tales of games to play Tales of Xillia.  Now this game has been out in Japan for a couple years, hell the sequel is already out in Japan, but we are just getting it now and if you even remotely like RPGs, even a little, you owe it to yourself to get this game.  The reason I said to pre-order it is when you pre-order it you get a bunch of free stuff like an artbook, the sound track and two DLC costume.  Did I mention that that was FREE?!  This game has been very well received in Japan so its basically garunteed to be good, it got a 39/40 in Famitsu, which is a famous Japanese magazine.  Also Namco has stated that if this game sells well then we will also get the sequel, Tales of Xillia 2.  So what ar you waiting for?  Go pre-order it now.

Ok will do

I have tales of graces F and I LOVE IT! Of course I will get xillia, but I think I will wait for it...

Are the added bonuses for the first run "Limited Edition" every where or just select retailers type thing?

I've already placed my pre-order at amazon UK can't wait

I believe its a Gamestop/EBgames exclusive deal as they're the retailers that usually do these 'free upgrades'. 

OT: I've already preordered the collectors edition

Started checking around. I think Amazon has it as well.

Hmm good question, I should have looked that up before, I know you can get it from EBgames/Gamestop and Bestbuy, I am not seeing it on Amazon, maybe I'm just missing it.  But if you do preorder from those placed make sure you ask them if they have any more limited editions left, make sure they are not giving you a regular edition, because they are both $60.

This is pretty much my current state. I have played both Vesperia and Graces f and absolutely ADORE them, but I am so frikin broke right now lol. I got myself a PS Vita recently with Persona 4G and I also got Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and Project X Zone on 3DS (man I love that game). And I have Pokemon X/Y to buy. On top those I also have the PS4 pre-ordered and I intend to get a game on that.

All in all, I have no money left whatsoever to spend on any more games probably for the rest of the year. As much as I want to get this game real soon and support it, I don't think I'll be able to buy anything else until next January. Buying two new hardware in one year is tough.

Problem with JRPGs is that they're either "hit or miss" for me, especially with regards to JRPGs this gen. I don't know if I can risk $60 right away, though I'll gladly buy it at a discounted rate later.
