As Spencer already mentioned, Namco-Bandai is throwing some Tales love to both the DS and the PSP. Tales of Hearts will feature 2D graphics with 3D backgrounds and realistic character illustration, while Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2 will be a direct sequel to the PSP original complete with character customization options and cameos from Tales game. If you ask me, I'm surprised Veigue from Tales of Rebirth will be in the game; and considering how Eugene from the same game was in the first Radiant Mythology, it boggles my mind as to why Namco-Bandai has yet to release the PSP port of Tales of Rebirth. Ah well.
Lucky for us, though, Dengeki Online has direct feed images of both Tales of Hearts and Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2 for us to look at, noting that Production I.G. will be in charge of Tales of Hearts' animation movie, much like they've done other Tales games. Though the official Japanese sites for both games are just there, updates are sure to come! Personally, I think Tales of Hearts looks nice.
Now if only Namco-Bandai would ever get around to at least considering localizing Tales of Innocence…
