Tales of Xillia has an official English-language trailer, and a release date. 



TL;DR it's August 6th

For some reason, the the english voice of the female mc sounds... off.  Is it just me?

Hopefully it ends up being better than Tales of Graces.

I'm only 5 or 6 hours into Tales of Graces F, but the combat's interesting so far (you can tell it used to be a system with fewer buttons, heh) and none of the characters are deal-breakers.  What disappointed you about it? 

And I should mention - I've been playing Tales of Vesperia the past two weeks for the first time, and I fucking love it.  If it stays this good to the end it'll probably be my favorite Tales game or second-favorite after Phantasia.

The best thing about that trailer? It seems like they actually put some effort into the dialogue and line delivery. Maybe Xillia will get an A- or B-Team localization that'll set it apart from some of the weaker entries in the franchise.

Seriously, the phoned-in voicework in Graces F was one of the most irritating things about that game for me. The dialogue in that game wasn't well-written to begin with, but combined with all the monotones and awkward pauses... it was just cringe-inducing.

As an aside, the other things that bugged me about Graces were:
Spoiler:
-No Fatal Strikes (WHY??) which meant combat was less fun
-Character and costume designs were ugly and/or silly
-Dungeons seemed kind of needlessly complicated
-Graphics were really substandard. I know it was a port of a Wii game, but come on. Tales of Symphonia had better-looking graphics on last-gen hardware.
