Finished chapter 6 this morning. So far the story have been great, I'm really liking it and it makes me feel uneasy at times. Which is really cool in my book.
Muzet, Chronus and Volt have been the worst fights so far. Rowen never is on my team during magic heavy boys fights. I hate that. Chronus with his Tetraspell made me cry (most of the time I used free run since that key me avoid everything aside water which was the weakest of the bunch, I lost less Hp that way than using Magic guard lol). My neighbours could have called the police when I was fighting Muzet lol.
So far I think the game does a great job being a sequel. Things go faster and smother since they don't need to do much world building. Their interactions are better in this game, Elle is nice and the decision system, while awkward, has some really strong moments.
I didn't remember Rieze Maxia having those terribly ugly textures. World map is bad but we all knew that since that was a big problem in Xillia. Since I'm Grinding quests sometimes I just skip monsters during story chaoters. Mobs are dumb so it's easy.
I prefer Of Xillia orb than the one in this game. Maybe I'm a minority but I prefer knowing what I have ahead.
Finally got to see Milla again. Super glad. Maybe I'm alone on this, but she was by far my favorite character of Xillia 1, and perhaps one of my favorite characters of any Tales game. I absolutely love the journey they took her through in the first game and can't wait to see how they work Alt. Milla's life into the story.
Impressions from meeting her for like 5 minutes: Story changes to her seem interesting, fixed voice quality/no lisp is awesome and her new costume is loads better than her Xillia 1 nonsense (though the costume in the opening animation of X2 is easily her best).
Yeah. Her outfit is miles better in Xillia 2 than the original. In general I like new default costumes more than Xillia's.
Especially Leía. I really like the new one
