Tales of Xillia 2 |OT| Return of the Bazongas

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Started doing more character quests and getting old party members back and I think I'm starting to warm up to the game a lot more now. I've been keeping a habit of knocking out all the quests before I move on to the next area but I think I might stop it. It's getting really tedious to keep going back to lower level areas, kill 5 frogs, horses, and birds and repeat in the next chapter. You can usually hit the debt payment by killing the elite monster anyway.
Game is hovering between a 7 and an 8 for me right now. Solid improvement over the first game but some questionable decisions regarding VO, reused areas, and the skill orb cause issues for me.

You can take the hat off though. And add glasess :3
It is, definitely.
A lot of the challenge comes from the pre-determined party too, since you don't always have Elize (or Leia). And while everyone in the party has an instant heal move like Jude's, it's definitely not as good as Elize throwing off Nurse (plus Ressurection and Dispel).
I knew you were gonna rock that maid outfit for Leia ;oMy Leia maid DLC is already imported

Playing Tales of Xillia 1 right now, so this makes me feel 'a little' more okay about spending $2.99 per outfit.

You gotta do other jobs to increase your rank to accept other jobs. Yep.

Not sure if serious....
Milla's VA finally got a working mic, she sounds decent,
even though the "true " Milla is still kinda flat, but the horrible "lisp" is gone

I'm a idiot! Why did I buy this?
Ah well. At least I have all the Tales in PS3.
Can't wait for Zestiria'

No kidding, his transformation has an extremely similar (yet simplified) combo system to your hack'n'slash games.
Yup! Now I just need to find twintails and red glasses again...
It was part of the reason I went ahead with it, knowing i'd get to use it in ToX2. Plus, Leia is worth it!
But do you have this?
I want that ;_;
I also wanted the Star Driver costumes too!
My Day One edition arrived a day earlier than I expected. It's no steelbook but at least it has a plastic slipcover so it won't out of place on the shelf.
I couldn't justify keeping the EU CE preorder, especially since there's no colour user manual, Rollo plushie, and the Rollo metalcase is crap compared to the steelbook/regular case combo in the US CE.

Oh god, the debt system is so obnoxious. I take it I should just never accumulate any money or I will be spammed to death?

Nova will call you when you have more than the debt amount is, for e.g. the debt is 70000 Gald, and you have 70001 Gald you can ignore her, but when you have 100000 Gald you must pay the debt.

Wished we got this too.
The bosses in Xillia 2 is a definite step up from the first. And its nice how every arte can be chained now.
This mirrors my experience so far. Nova's antics actually made me laugh out a couple of times.

holy cow some of you are fast >_>About to finish the game, just completed the last character episode. I didn't like most of them, but skipping would leave me underleveled.
Then again, the whole plot of this game is a joke so whatever. At least the combat and skits are still fun.

Is it possible to have every single character affinity maxed in one playthrough?
Oh I was confused about this too, but then I remembered that in Xillia 1, Rowen's girl (Nachtigal's sister) ended up in Elympios after the Battle of Fezebel so I guess this has been the case all along, they just never explained it very well in the first game.
With most right answers, my affinities are between 7 and 8 hearts. No friendship potions used.
I thought they were only thought of as different worlds due to the schism or whatever it was called (the barrier or wall between them).

She looked like a hippie in 1. Incredible improvement, even if that cabbie hat makes her head look huge-mongous.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
But do you have this?
I approve of that greatly.
Too bad they were only available for like 3 weeks. They're not even available in Japan anymore, so I highly doubt we'll get them.

Is there any reason to worry about killing those elite monsters in under 2 minutes for anything other than a trophy? If I don't care about trophies, can I just ignore that?
Novum_Veritas
Member
Yes, just kill them normally, you still get the job complete.

thanks
so for the quest board stuff, is there any reason to complete them other than the rewards that they give?
By that I mean, if they don't give anything other than money and points, do I really need to complete them like crazy, or do just enough as i need to make money and level up?
Should you really be mostly just aiming for the ones that give you items and cats and other important stuff?

I only did the cat ones and the elite monster ones, also there are quests with an exclamation mark, did them too, the other fetch quests you can do later.
The elite monsters are good for money and lvling up.

thanks, two final questions:
1. is there any reason to delay paying off your debt? Does it ever force you forward in the story causing you to miss sidequests or anything? Or should I just pay her off whenever I can just to get her to shut up?
2. Speaking of paying off the debt, I just got a pop up that there was something left for me in my apartment for my payments, but I'm not finding anything, anyone know what this is?

Besides getting her to let you to move onto the story, nothing is really withheld from you if you skim paying off your debt besides probably going crazy from hearing Nova so often, lol
You can find the gifts from paying off your debt in the mailboxes when you first enter your apartment building to the right. There should be a glowing mark like items you find in the fields there.

To 1.
Well not really, she even bothers you when you have to much money, so you have to pay nonetheless, and yes it forces you to pay the debt, you get new locations granted when you pay it off.
And it is necessary for story progression.
2.
You can get your stuff at the apartment in Triglephin the 1F Fréres Apartment, it is in the mailbox glowing there.
how the hell did you get nurse and healing circle on her
lol idunno
dood my points for characters are all over the place.
I love Elize but I don't wanna use her as my healer during free time
No, Leia is single target healing only, plus buffs and Ressurection.
