Scans of what could be a promotional plan for Namco Bandai's Wii RPG Tales of Graces show that the title will getting downloadable content, of both the free and paid (with Wii Points) variety. Aside from previously-unveiled preorder DLC costumes, the exact contents of the DLC is unknown. Also included in the promotional plan is, like the promotion for Tales of Hearts, curry available for purchase named after its in-game counterpart.

Tales of Graces' DS minigame (playable through DS Download Play from Graces), Kamenin Merchant, will also see a DSiWare release in November.

Tales of Graces releases on December 10 in Japan. The game's official site can be found here.

A recent retail listing made mention of download content for Tales of Graces. Now some scans have surfaced revealing that, as with Tales of Vesperia, some of the download content will require you to hand over some yen -- or in this case, WiiPoints.

According to this scan, which was posted today at Hachimaki, Graces will offer items and other content for paid download. To the right, the scan mentions free content as well, although it's cut off so I'm not sure what it says exactly.

The source of this scan appears to be some sort of promotional plan chart listing Namco Bandai's plans to promote Graces as its newly announced December 10 release approaches. As first announced at TGS, these plans include a real world conversion of the game's curry food item. Tales of Hearts saw a similar promotion.

Perhaps of greater importance (just barely, though!) the chart suggests that the recently announced Graces-related DSiWare mini game will be available for download in November, ahead of Graces' release.

    Boo Namco, boo!

    If you are announcing DLC this early, then just put it in the game.

    Good ol' trusty Scamco?

    Although, I'm at least interested at what the DLC could be, even though we have no idea at this point. Maybe the preorder DLC costumes become available for purchase?

    Curry is Japan's national food these days. Ha ha ha, and you're right, it seems Japan can't resist jumping on the DLC bandwagon, especially for games that aren't even released yet!
