I got an e-mail response saying that the panel form has been received! However, due to space and other limitations, they don't know if they'll be able to put all of the panels they receive forms for into the program. Long story short, we won't know if the panel is approved until the schedule is finalized and posted.
If we don't manage to get the panel approved, however, I know we can manage to find the time for a Tales meetup at the very least.
Also, in more Tales related news (that I'm giddy and excited about, don't mind me), Miss Leia Rolando has been revealed to be a returning playable character in Tales of Xillia 2, which is coming out in November! And she has a new outfit to go along with her return! Totally going to cosplay that outfit in 2013. >:3 She looks so good! So excited.
