Hmmm we should be getting the statue edition too, since they have plans to bring it over to United States... right?
I will say it's very likely you guys will get it. They talked about bringing it over to the US and the website has a link which isn't working for North America so it seems pretty certain... but we'll see.

Dang, it's so weird hearing Jude's voice being so deep. Ahaha. And I'm with ya guys; the other figure released in Japan is kinda better.
Oh, Jin = Spirix or something now? Kinda works.
Kinda weird watching these battle gameplay videos. Just because they're getting hit a lot and seem to refuse to block. Like I've said before, nearly every single character in Xillia is broken. >.>
Alvin and Elize sounds great. Milla sounds fantastic.
Pre-ordered the CE, can't wait for August now.
Rowen takes the cake, for me. He will be in my party all the time, unless he is a leave and return type character, or if he doesn't show up until late game or something.
Do you even need Elize/a healer character for Xillia or Xillia 2?
For one, Jude is a healer himself. You can solo the entire game with him on any difficulty without very much trouble partially because of this (the other reason is his vanish dodge, which allows you to easily get out of enemies' way).Do you even need Elize/a healer character for Xillia or Xillia 2?
Limited to 10,000 copies of CE

You want a healer character, yes.
So the release dates and Collector's Editions were confirmed, but not the D1 edition, huh.
I hope Digital River isn't handling this.

Boring as all hell, because they're easy and tedious. They don't really take a lot of skill. Xillia 2's trophies are the same way. Platinuming Xillia twice does not make me want to platinum it again, nor Xillia 2, for that matter. Not at the moment, anyway.How are the trophies in this game? I still haven't platted Graces.![]()
PR email confirmed a NA release of the CE, $99.99 apparently.
Their video confirmed it.

Oh yeah? Is that the one with the Milla figure? I don't want the figure of her, but I want everything else.
For one, Jude is a healer himself. You can solo the entire game with him on any difficulty without very much trouble partially because of this (the other reason is his vanish dodge, which allows you to easily get out of enemies' way).
Second, I do feel like Elize is essential for healing a little later on and if you're on higher difficulties (this is partially because of the way the bosses are designed in this game).
You can get around the "well, I don't want to put these characters in my party!" mentality by later being able to swap people in and out of the party at will after you get more than four people on your team. Press R3 and use the D-Pad to swap people into the party. As for Xillia 2, not at the moment, though she has been helpful for several bosses when she does have the healing skills I want. However, again, Jude's still a staple and mainstay on the team.
I do have a post written up about character positioning and some menu stuff for Xillia written up somewhere on GAF. Let me fish it up. EDIT: Here you go. You do get more positioning options than Graces, so I think people will like this a little better.

"Collect X amount of these"
"Watch X amount of skits!"
"Do 90 sidequests!"
"Get a 100-hit combo!" (this is easier than you think; like I said, the characters are broken)
"Get everyone to level 99 + use every orb on their Lilial Orb chart!"
"Get 800 of those sparkly things on the field"
"Use these skills 150 times" (upped to 450 in Xillia 2)
"Buy take-out food and feed it to your party 800 times!"
...and so on, and so forth.
I know I shouldn't be expecting a lot, and I will more than likely enjoy this game a lot, but the trailers for these are always so generic and underwhelming. There are people I know who would enjoy these, but the trailers don't help mattersAnd a Trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFofp8Z7D8c
