Just picked mine up! Have to wait until I get off from work though.
Lol
Some bosses come to mind, now that you mentioned it. Dammit.
Also, I do wonder abou Kagari. I dont even remember the last time I saw her posting something.

Yep, that's gone.
Back to the normal, new town/event/whatever can mean new stuff in the shops.
Also, item crafting is back too.

wat. Hope that's kept to a minimum.
Awesome that was one of the only things I didn't like!

So by the way, looking at the web PSN store I notice that there's already DLC costumes up, lol
Elize's Gymnastic Uniform
Milla's Tennis Uniform
Rowen's Archery Uniform
This might be a premature mistake, lol
------------------------------------
I guess they ARE coming out this week.
Alvin's Baseball Uniform
Jude's Football Uniform
Leia's Soccer Uniform
Elize's Gymnastic Uniform
Milla's Tennis Uniform
Rowen's Archery Uniform

I want to roll on the same team as swagnificent white suit Rowen once again.
Their Xillia 2 default costumes are so well done that I honestly don't want the switch them out of it. They all look classy, except Milla's second costume I guess.
I feel the same about most games. I rarely used any of the accessories in the first Xillia, I don't like altering the way the characters look in general (unless it's a character I created, or in a game where what they where changes based on what armor you have equipped). I might actually go for the baseball uniform, I think it's pretty cool but... not for $3.00.
EDIT: Actually now that I think about it I put some kind of tail on Rowen and forgot about it... so now, in my head, Rowen is just a guy with a tail.

If anyone has put their bank account into the negative buying this game, congrats because you're officially meta.

That's good, I didn't really mind it in the first but happy its gone.
I wanna try to get a cosplay group going with my buddies I love their outfits!
After playing the game a bit, the debt system is definitely there to pad out the game, but it isn't super annoying. Train up a bit in the fields and you already have most of what you need for the sidejobs. Just do all the monster jobs first, then see how many items you have already to fill out the item jobs.

It's a good thing I tend to grind alot. I usually have tons of gald in these games.

I still need to do a second playthrough of the first one!
don't cuz then you'll really want to kill yourself over having to traverse all those fields again
and you do it multiple times in xillia 2 given the story
so yeah, skip the replay

I got the CE but the DLC code isn't working (the one for the theme is for my guide) anyone else having a similar problem?
I was checking my emails and surprised to find that the game is in my mailbox waiting for me at home, I thought it would at least take till tomorrow. Unfortunately it doesn't matter since I'm still going through Xillia and will probably put Xillia 2 on hold until I can be fairly sure that I wont burn out on the franchise.

All the girls must get bunny ears and tails. >.>

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Speaking of, how do you add these through the menus? I thought it was menu->hover on character icon and add but I don't see it.
Admittedly I think the "throw the manual in the LE" isn't a bad trend versus "no nothing at all!" which unfortunately ToX1 did, but NNK/ToSC/ToX2 didn't follow.
It would be nicer to have a middle ground option that isn't too expensive though, but then by the same token you spend $100+ and you DEFINITELY want little touches like that there.

Should be in equipment and go down to the second page for attachments and costumes.

Is Encounter Link gone or does it come into play later?

Same here, mine was in a box 2-3x larger than the CE.
So I just picked up a retail copy of this (going against my digital preference because I want to play it asap), is there absolutely nothing inside the box except for a disc? On the left side where instruction manuals used to be there is nothing, no paper insert or manual at all. Doesn't bother me, but wanted to make sure there wasn't supposed to be something and the new copy I bought had actually been opened before. Anyway, super excited to start playing, a lecture only day tomorrow at med school so skipping that and gonna play all night and through tomorrow.

I feel like there's always a wanted poster/sketch in these games.
Couple of unboxing videos had a full colored instruction manual included in the C.E. I doubt it's exclusive to that bundle, so you might want to run back to the store..
I noticed that. Same with the boxart background being white while the regular edition's boxart background being purple.

Mackey ain't that guy, but he did go the "button-mashy combat" route all reviewers who go low difficulty on Tales reviews say. Going Moderate or above would make it tougher and take longer so...
Save data bonuses will appear shortly after the opening chapter. DLC costume items you purchased for Xillia will show up in the final tab of the Items menu.
Uh, this game seems to be spawned from the same design ideas as FF13-2. I'm not exactly a fan of.
Seemingly meaningless choices atypical of the series and the genre added for fluff, progression dictated by completing fetch quests unrelated to the main story and oh, adding I guess 'non linear' progression in form of letting you choose your next destination. This is far far more rehashed than 13-2 though, uuhh. If that's a bother jump out now... it's too much the same, a little new.
On the bright side, they seem to have taken this as an opportunity to try things they normally don't (
) and the overall tone of the story and the world go along with the original and continue it rather than ditch it to go inane and senseless. Core gameplay changes seem to be for the better so far, spamming link arte seems to be harder, the growth system instead of the boring zzz waste of time of before.
This cat sending thing seems to be straight out of Assassin's Creed and MGS Peace Walker. whatever.
Zestiria doesn't have kid characters right? good.

Man, I totally jumped the gun! Haha. The message for the bonuses just popped up. Thanks though, Seda
