longtime Tales fans are in for a special treat when they pick up Tales of Xillia 2. Namco has revealed that fans who have a Tales of Graces F and a Tales of Xillia save file present on their PS3s will earn special in-game items for Tales of Xillia 2. They haven't specified exactly what these bonus items will be, but I'm going to guess they're special costumes or something of the sort. Tales of Xillia 2 first launched in Japan last year and an international release of the game was recently confirmed. Tales of Graces F has been available in Japan since 2010, but it launched in North America and Europe just last year.

Tales of Xillia - which Japan has had since 2011 - will be available in North America on August 6th and in Europe on August 9th.
