So RPGamer says, but I keep the question mark until I get some other confirmation considering the day. The article itself says it was posted on the 31st, so...
Take of it what you will so far.
Two outcomes: -Cheering and rejoicing. -Storming of RPGamer's headquarters.It was indeed an April Fool's joke.

I smell April Fools gag. I just know they did this joke to troll the Tales fanbase (and knowing how rabid they get on unreleased Tales game, I wouldn't blame them for doing this as a gag).
Truthfully, my idea to prank the fanbase would have been just as cruel or maybe crueler.
Tales of Vesperia for PC. That PS3 version? That was also a beta! The PC version is the definitive version! Too bad I don't know how to use photo shop (especially since it'd be a little more elaborate).

Nah, I don't think RPGamer has it out for the Tales fanbase. Which is why I'm still in the middle on whether or not it's a joke. Half-expecting some announcement the next day saying: "Yeah, yesterday was April Fools. This and this article were jokes. This is how we came up with them. Oh, and the Tales one? That wasn't a joke."

True. I just lurked on the RPGamer forums and someone spilled it that it was a joke. board.rpgamer.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?act=ST;f=4;t=21465;st=20#entry482386Yep, someone admitted it as joke that might have hit below the belt too hard. And I'm the guy on Phantasian Productions that usually starts the April Fools topic and see what other gags people found (and that's how I found RPGamer's joke). I don't know how cruel my idea of Tales of Vesperia on PC prank would be. Don't know if anyone would be interested in what my idea would be like.

I doubt Graces is coming to NA, ever, so I don't really get why people believed that the article to be true, and especially on April Fool's Day.
And even if Graces were likely to be released, I think a localization announced on April Fool's Day would still be pretty shady, if only because it's April Fool's Day.
...oh, and I read the entire rpgamer thread just now. It reaffirmed the growing antipathic sentiment I have towards a lot of the Tales fanbase. Apparently people are incapable of taking a joke.
It's one thing to be disappointed that it's not actually real, but some of the people acted legitimately butthurt about the joke. Man, you'd think someone had joked about something actually important, like that their mother had died or something. It's just a game; no need to get your knickers in a twist because someone claimed--on April Fool's Day--that it's going to get localized.

"It's just a game," a seldomly used phrase among Tales fans. . .

Man, a couple nights ago I had a dream that I was gonna buy a game and didn't know which one exactly--maybe Muramasa--and then I suddenly thought, "OMG, Why haven't I bought ToGraces yet?! It's out and that's the game I want the most right now and I don't have it!" So I was going to the store, and then I woke up. Then immediately after waking up I was like "Gah I gotta get my money and go... to....... FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU-!!!! IT'S NOT OUT IN THE US!!!"
I REALLLY hope Graces comes out in the US. It's my most anticipated game, and yet I've been losing a bit of interest/hype for it because of my growing doubts that I'll ever get to play it. =(

Well seriously, I wonder if this game will ever come to NA...

Cut that out right now. This is the reason people hate Tales fans. This won't get them to localize anything.

Every couple minutes, a post about how much Namco sucks and how they should localize Tales games? That'd get me to shaft the series more if I was in charge.

I don't even care anymore. If people don't bug namco, and act like they don't care, there's probably a higher chance there that they will localize them to make fans care again.
