It's ok though, i DID get a 360 in the meantime and ordered ToV asap!! I also figured i will grab Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey and Splosion Man sometime soon

One of my regrets is never going Blue Dragon a fair shake.
My friend picked up Xillia the other day, and that has triggered my excitement for Xillia 2. Any deals for that game on the horizon?
Did Namco ever addressed why Millia was given a lisp?
It was just poor audio quality as she doesn't have one in every scene.

Hello Tales gaf. I'm new to the series and am currently halfway through Xillia but I have a really serious question that will directly effect my enjoyment of ToX 2....
So regarding both games,
Does Jude ever recognise Leia's love for him or does Leia ever straight up say it? I really don't like dense protagonists. I know Jude is all up in Millia's pancake but is he that oblivious? Poor Leia.
Really enjoying Xillia and plan to get ToX 2 as well

Is Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World considered canon (aka part of the mothership titles)? I mean Xillia 2 and Destiny 2 were mothership titles...

It's canon in terms of it is a sequel to Tales of Symphonia but it is not a mothership title like how Destiny 2 and Xillia 2 are.
It is probably more of akin of a Tales games that Namco wants to sweep under the rug like Tales of Te-who must not be named.
The main draw is the gameplay/combat. Unlike other TP-based Tales games where you might string 3 regular attacks followed by a few arte attacks, the system in Graces is quite different. Without going into too much detail, you basically can chain many artes together using CC (instead of TP) and you can boost your CC mid combo by evading attacks and such. The battle system rewards timing and dodging and knowing which attacks to use when. Many argue it has the best gameplay in the series, and it also uses titles for skills and passive effects in battle (rather than just being effectively collectables).
The story and characters are pretty terrible though (especially Asbel). If you have a hard time shrugging that off then you probably won't like it.
Oh, to answer your question, I thought the cities were pretty decent aesthetically, but many of the dungeons are kinda samey maze-like paths.

Wait was that confirmed?
I see nothing mentioned of the DLC on the Amazon pre-order page for the regular edition. Also, apparently Xillia 2 is getting an official guide by Prima, and the page for that lists "Exclusive DLC". So we'll see.

For me, Vesperia was the pinnacle of the series. I liked the battle system in Graces but the rest of the game was... yes, generic and simple. I haven't finished Xillia and I don't think I'm gonna buy Xillia 2.
As a part of the guide?

I'm kind of in a Tales mood these days, still heavily anticipating for Xillia 2 and Hearts R this year. :/
So what should I play?
- Tales of Legendia?
- Tales of Innocence NDS?
- Tales of Destiny PSX (if my PSX still works)?
- Tales of Phantasia PSX?
I still need to find a copy of Tales of Eternia PSP EU though. :/

I'd only play Tales of Destiny PSX if you've literally played every other localized Tales game, it's really dated
Damn, Luke is a tiiiiny bit more obnoxious in Tales of the Abyss than I remembered lmao
Fighting feels a bit clunky after ToGF and ToX, but it's still such a great game
e: oh shit, got epee from din for guy around the time you're headed for zao ruins, attack power went from around 300 to over 600 rofl
i love it when this kind of stuff is possible

I wish Namco Bandai will make a Tales of Destiny HD Collection for PS3 and Vita.
ToD Remake in glorious HD?
I would pay mad money for that.
Yeah, I tried to play it before I played the Remake and I couldn't do it.
Also didn't help that I started playing it right after I finished Tales of Phantasia PSX.

Started replaying Vesperia and good lord, I forgot how good the visuals are. The artstyle holds up better than I thought it did. It's a lot easier on the eyes than Xillia, imo.
Forgot how good Yuri's VAing is, too. Troy Baker can do no wrong, apparently.

I really hope they use cell-shading again for the first PS4/current gen game.
Nice! It's one Tale game I really like a lot, it's really the whole package. I like it a fair bit.

This is true. Vesperia is a bit more technical and has some late game requirements to really chain together insane combos, but once you take the time throughout the game to get most (if not all) of their skills and spend some time learning the characters, you can pull off some awesome stuff. Judith in particular is fantastic.
Though I do wish more characters in that game had good combo capabilities without relying so much on overlimit.
One of my bigger annoyances with Vesperia. Yuri is great. Everyone else is terrible by comparison to him.
Rita would disagree with that opinion.
He said without relying on overlimit.
Sorry . i was directly responding to his post , not looking at what he was responding too.
Edit : then again , i stand by my Opinion that Rita can stand quite easily next to Yuri when it comes to OP ness.

Thanks!
I need some help with Tales of Xillia's Battle system. Is there a video I can watch that shows the correct way to do the linked artes, especially the chain link.
This is basically my first Tales of game other than the few hours I put into Vesperia. I understood how the battlesystem worked in Vesperia but Ive been having some trouble in Xillia. Especially around the bosses. I can fight normal enimes fine but when I get to the boss I feel like I have no idea what im doing.
Is there anyone that can help me understand this games battlesystem. When I do a link artes and it says their is a chance for a chain what do i do?

Chain Chance means you can use another regular arte (using regular arte button activation, like O + Up for example, not R2) to activate another Link Arte. So check out your list of Link Artes (through the battle menu) and see which artes create Link Artes.
This is the tutorial shown in-game. I know you probably wanted something else, but maybe it helps if you rewatch it a couple of times.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brAPOqjo4hE
Once the blue bar to the left is filled and it blinks, you perform an arte and press R2, then you can start chaining artes as explained/shown in the video.
Thanks so much, this helped me find out what I needed to know pretty much. Now im just gunna go power level alil bit before I face the Boss in Bermia Gorge
