![]() I'm not a pro by any means but I did get good with this one since I enjoyed it so much.Īnd that would be it, more or less. The battle system is my favorite in the series, especially in the hardest difficulty. I did love the characters though, so in Xillia 2 in have a cast that I already liked in a more original plot that felt like something new, even with its ups and downs. That's why I usually tell people who have a PS3 to start with that one, because it represents the series pretty well. It wasn't bad by any means, but it just didn't make anything special for me. The plot felt to me like a checklist of things a Tales game usually had and, therefore, it felt bland. The two worlds, the traitor, the canon fuel with energy, etc. I liked Xillia 1 just fine, but it felt to me that it used too many traditions from the series. I especially liked all the villans or antagonists, whatever you want to call them (I won't go into details about this to avoid spoilers). There's something about it that just resonates with me. I love the story, even if it takes a long time to pick up. To anyone who actually reads this rant, thank you! I'm open to counter arguments, I love turning negatives into positives wherever possible. I still appreciate them being here, because it does technically add some information about the characters but.very underwhelming. It doesn't change the fact that, this was probably going to be the best part of the game and it seems these were added as padding rather than actual care put into these amazing characters. Ugh, listen I understand there's a main story, and obviously there's a developmental reason for these being cheap and short. In Xillia 1, all of these chapters would have been naturally implemented into the game. Clearly, the characters just get the backseat here. We pretty much already knew she was amiable from Xillia 1. EDIT* Elizes first 2 chapters were cute and wholesome, but again, they don't really develop her more. MEH? Or Leias chapter 3 I think it was, where it's just a cutscene at one of the ports(forgot the ports name). ![]() Judes story has pretty much just been him subtly reinforcing his determination to continue his research. Some other notable mentions, Judes chapter 3 wasn't awful, but.running through that terrible dungeon again to talk to a lady who just screams at him after fighting some trash mobs. OKAY? FINALLY REAL MILLA! chapter 3-oh, what's that? did you want a 2 minute cutscene? OOOOOKAY? Okay? "Millas" chapter 2-a slightly longer cutscene about soup. I mean, "Millas" chapter 1- 1 cutscene about soup. KEEP IN MIND, this is my OPINION! I also don't think the character stories are BAD, but holy hell a lot of them are 5/10 or WAY TOO SHORT. With all of this in mind, I was hoping the character stories would be the highlight. I'm about to tackle chapter 12 today though. THEN, you do it a 3rd time because of the fractured dimensions. However, we're talking 60% of the entire game is just.poor? You ran through this world 1 time in Xillia, then you do it again in Xillia 2. The debt situation is grindy and annoying, but can sort of be counteracted by elite hunts, SURE whatever.Īfter the first 9 chapters that were an absolute slog, Chapter 10 and 11 have picked up considerably for obvious reasons. The story has unbelievably bad pacing, sure whatever. The artificial flow of the game sucks, sure. Clearly, the game was padded out so that it could reach a respectable amount of playtime. ![]() I've accepted that it's more of a DLC than an actual standalone game. ![]() Went to Xillia 2 3 months after finishing the 1st one, Completely blind.
