Famitsu has a little feature on Tales of the Abyss this week, which discusses the Nintendo 3DS port. And it isn't too different from the PlayStation 2 release from 2005.
When Namco Bandai confirmed Tales of Graces F for North America during their press event, Carlson Choi, Vice President of Marketing, mentioned there were over 50,000 requests asking for Tales.
Venus & Braves has a number of guest characters from the Tales universe in the PSP version. How did they get there? Namco Bandai gave each character a background story.
