Namco Bandai trademarks Tales of Xillia for US
Tales of Xillia has been trademarked in the US by Namco Bandai, according to a USPTO filing (via Siliconera). This follows a similar filing by the publisher in Europe last week. The filings give a heavy hint the PS3 RPG is about to be announced for the west: Namco Bandai UK marketing boss Lee Kirton tweeted over the weekend it had announcements planned for next month.

Hell yeah! Let’s hope that this actually turns out to be a localization and not just them protecting the name.

Great news, I will be importing this as soon as its out over there. I have imported Tales of Graces F and its great, I loved Vesperia. They are my favourite games. Xilia looks awesome.

Yeah and Xillia actually has two lead characters with their own story, very very cool, i don’t believe many JRPGs have that.
I just hope the releasedate won’t be crazy late, i mean…look at what they did with Ni No Kuni, however….that game is relatively unknown compared to the Tales series, so i bet Tales will release earlier.
