Watching video reviews it seems a little better, but the sample quality for voice work is still nowhere near what it should be. Not sure why that is, you'd think there would be plenty of space on the disc for high quality VO.

No kidding, the original xillia is like less than 7GB.
You would think that a PS3 exclusive would take advantage of the Blu ray drive space.

The game won't be available for at least a week and a half in my country according to the store I contacted. I dont even know why I am surprised.
I still dont understand this.
I am pretty sure people said he talks more/all the time in the second playthrough of the game.
Like, whats the point?

Hmmm the Youtube video recaps are down. Anyone know where else to watch?

I just beat Xillia 1 a few weeks ago and am looking forward to grabbing this tomorrow... only to probably barely play it for a while!
Seems like most won't be going up until tomorrow morning.
Watched the GT review, gotta say their praise for the writing surprised me and I did actually chuckle at the included example in the review.
Might have to break out my dormant save from the first game and press on. Can't believe it's been a year already...

As far as I am aware, it's a few smaller things:
-In chapter ten, you go to a one-time only dungeon. There is a room with four chests containing unique equipment.
-The quests "Traces of Kinship: Part 1" and "Traces of Kinship: Part 2" should be done as soon as possible. They disappear at some point. If you do these, a third part will open up in post game, allowing you to go into Julius's room to get a weapon.
-There are 100 'kitties' to find in the game. The quest "Poker Face" deals with finding a kitty, but it's separate from the "Kitty Sighting" quests. I hear this is missable but I am unsure.
Thanks for the info!
Oh no, I don't think NG+ adds any new scenes. I just think it's interesting to go through the game without all the extra stuff if you have time to focus on Ludger's story, and then do another run with all the extra things. I feel the supporting cast really takes a back seat in Xillia 2's main story, so the extra scenes and character quests kinda bring a "Director's Cut"-vibe to the story where some interesting but not really essential stuff is added in. Plus you'll be able to have Ludger's choices voiced.
And after you complete the game the choice events will now show you which choices make certain characters like you more, another reason why I think a second run is likely to be a more more complete/fulfilling, though admittedly more predictable experience. There's Japanese guides that point out all the choices (and there's hidden relationship values as well for like two or three characters), I assume someone will put together an English list of the "perfect" choices eventually.

I'm so excited to pick this up tomorrow, just paid it off today. Have to play it when I get off at 1am though :/
I forgot to mention that you should also do the character quests as soon as they are available if you don't want to miss them. But that's kinda obvious. There are markers on the map screens and everything.

Got kind of a busy day tomorrow, so I'm picking this up first thing in the morning 
I remember gamestop being busy right when they opened on the xillia launch but every person in line except one bought Xillia. I wonder how it fared though the day.
Edit : wait, I think it was not right when they opened but around lunch time
ToX2 get.
For anyone buying the Asian version (R3), do note that the physical copies that are sold to you are INDEED the Day 1 edition, with a code for the three outfits and special theme inside the normal box.
I was confused for a bit when I did not spot the special Day 1 packaging and shop staff also thought that it was the standard edition.
Oh, and pre-ordering at a certain store paid off with a mini-Rollo plush! Yay!

Man, I looked at the videos for chapters I played through in the Japanese version,
Alternate Milla sounds really good.

Isn't she kinda is one of the selling point of Xillia?
Her acting is really, really good.

So since people are getting the game early, do we know if the US version standard edition gets the DLC costumes?

Saturday is just around the corner. I won't be able to play till I finish ToX
The abundance of Tales of games has been incredible. I may not have time to play them all, let alone keep up, but I'm always excited for more.
I've always found ToX2 interesting just because Ludger is a silent protagonist. Never thought I would play as one in a mainline Tales of game. Since most have a wide and varied cast to play as, the introduction of a silent protagonist is an interesting take on how the player will interact with the already established characters.

For those people who can't wait, I know I can't.
Here is a collection for the Mystic Artes for the main cast. The audio is a kinda subpar

I don't know if it's the voice is a lot louder than the music, but
Milla's voice really did improve, even though her mystic arte line is kinda iffy. Rowen obviously suffered from timing issues since it needs to "sync" with the Japanese one.

That's a shame, especially considering the fact that Progress did for Xillia.
Namco probably didn't want to pay the licensing fees, it could be something else though

You sure? The English footage I see on Youtube state they changed it so they wouldn't get hit by copyright.
Edit: uh it does that on first time starting up.
Should show up after a save.

That might be the case.
I'll try that in a bit. Sorry if I caused any false alarm ._.
Maybe I'm just used to Tales Of openings popping up right away.
Edit: Right. It started playing right after the end of the first movie with Elle.
