While Tales of Destiny 2 for PlayStation Portable has only hit Japanese retail store shelves yesterday, Bandai Namco Games already plans to announce the next installment in its popular RPG franchise next week. The company claims this newest project was the reaction to strong demand by its fanbase. The announcement is scheduled for February 21st.

And supposedly this will be it. Someone translated it from the Jeux-France site. Remember, it's only a rumor

This info would be great if it wasn't just a rumor. (at least as of now) We'll just have to wait and see.

I'd like to play that Tales of the Howling with Prof. Nebby and Lil' Dist and Jade on their misadventures. Jade's my favorite character in Tales of the Abyss and according to Nephry he was a messed up child.

Whoa. TWO SEQUELS to Tales of the Abyss? AWESOME! 8D

I for one hope it's not a rumor. Even though I already own the PS2 version, I would love to play it again on a Nintendo console. I'm just curious to know what the added content is.

It'd be neat if it was a port to the Wii. I've been putting off buying TotA, so it'd be nice to know that I'd been waiting for something. :P

[Agent Proto]

I do hope that it's not a Japanese only release like the PS2 port of Tales of Symphonia was.

Damn, I was hoping this would be news of a Tales of Destiny Remake English release... Well, I guess this is nice, too. Playing as Jade + portable = awesome.

I do hope that it's not a Japanese only release like the PS2 port of Tales of Symphonia was.

That would indeed suck =(

I give it a 50% chance of it being true, 30% chance of it making it to NA, and 0.05% chance of it making it to Europe.
