ToX NA Boxart

Amazon.com put up this boxart for Tales of Xillia:

Er, the uh...saturation looks a bit high. I'll replace this with a less radioactive version if and when it's available.
Edit: Replaced with better version. Radioactive version here so Adam's post won't be messed up.
This would mean all regions get the same boxart.
*Note that it may not be final, though. (I mean, the initial Graces f boxart had two PSN logos on it.) If anything besides the saturation gets changed, ESRB rating added, or French added to the "Only on PlayStation" bit, I'll bump this post with it.

ToH-R Site-Costume+Attachment Vid

The Tales of Hearts R site had a wee bit of an update to add a page on attachments and costumes, as well as a short video for them.

ToH-R Scan-Cameo Battle+DLC Swimsuits Announced

So a cameo battle for Tales of Hearts R has been revealed in an article.
I don't know if it's the only one or not though. Sometimes there's more than one.

Pascal and Hubert from Tales of Graces, donning Toro and Kuro (from Toro Station) costumes for whatever reason, are shown here.
Toro and Kuro will also be attachments, it would seem.
Also confirmed are swimsuit costumes as DLC. No price or release date given yet and they look to be different from the ones you unlock from having the demo (for the last time, Namdai, stop announcing DLC before the game gets released!).
