Tales of Xillia Day 1 Edition (NA, EU), Collector's Edition (NA, EU) announced

Just wondering, how could they have been playable since
they are the villains? Or at least they oppose the party no? Unless they would have been playable only for a bit, in which case no thanks.
If you've played a Tales game before this really shouldn't be a surprise as a possibility.


Teepo's voice is great from what I heard so far. And I much prefer Jude's English voice. I hope we get the Day one edition for NA and for preorder at Amazon...
 
This comes out in august, right? I'm hopeful that's enough time for me to get enough money together to put down a pre-order on this.

I've played lots of Tales games, can't of any where that would have made sense outside of Duke possibly. There's Asch but then
he wasn't the last boss of his game.
 
I hope the artbook will have same amount of pages because I won't buy the Collector's Edition and this figure is better :D

Spoilers (not about content actually in the game, but it concerns the ending):

Baba said in a post-mortem interview that they would have liked the game to branch out into different ending scenarios. One where Muse joins and you fight Gaius, one where Gaius joins and you fight Muse, and one where you fight both. Maybe there would be a way to get both to join as well and there's some other third enemy, but this wasn't mentioned as a possibility.

I think if they were given more time, something like this would have been put in. The interviews and guide/world books on Xillia are pretty interesting because they had quite a few gameplay ideas in mind and the characters and universe are pretty elaborate, but these things either aren't in the game at all or aren't featured in much detail.

Oh wow that sounds awesome. Too bad the game was seemingly rushed.

So what kind of anime trope category would milla fit under?

Based on what I've seen and know about her, I'd say this one. Dunno if that's really anime though, but it seems her most defining characteristic early on.

Is Xillia 2 better in this regard?
 
Is Xillia 2 better in this regard?

I'm less knowledgeable on Xillia 2 than the first (haven't beaten it yet), but Xillia 2 does not flesh out everything in the guide books / auxiliary material. I think it would be impossible to do so without derailing the game's plot several times.

Xillia 2's story, however, is much more enjoyable to me. Xillia 2 also tweaks the battle system to make it better (sadly no multiplayer Link Mode fix, but it brings in Around Step, most notably).

There are a LOT of recycled areas in X2 though. They were bland in the first game, but revisiting these areas again? ugh.

Also the PCs. We have Ludger and Gaius/Musee (while this is their first time playable, they aren't new personalities) plus the original cast.

I dunno. I think if Xillia 2 existed without Xillia, it would be a fantastic game. But since the first exists, Xillia 2's great mechanics and story feel slightly dampened by the fact that so much is reused.

I'm OK with reused stuff if the stuff happening in those areas is new and interesting. Xillia 2 sounds much better to me.
 
:O

I will need help from a friend in US to get that CE.

I am guessing it isn't up to pre-order in any "participating retailers" yet, right?
 
Ugh... Not sure which version I want. I'd like to have the CE, but then again. I am not sure if it is worth it for me. Hm...
 
I'm a sucker for games with a statue(looks at top shelf with batman, nathan drake, and cole next to each other), and being $99 is right up my alley since a lot of other ones with statues for some reason HAVE to be $149 now... >>

Why not get the standalone game and put the rest of the money towards that Alter figure, unless you specifically collect games bundled with figures.

Well, someone said those were very expensive. The Jude one was going for $150ish on eBay.

the Alter figure retails for ¥7800 and is already sold out in most places.
 
It's not on the Canada EBGames site, but has anyone in Canada been able to pre-order it? I'm just stressing out because this reminds me of the Persona 4 Golden limited edition that I initially missed out on because it also only had 10k copies printed... had to get my limited edition for a bit more than it was being sold for. Don't wanna go through that again.
 
Knowing this has a 0.0001 percent chance of coming to the 360 I might have to buy a PS3 for this...

It's somewhat annoying since Tales of Vesperia is the game that got me interested in this in the first place.

I have not seen pre-order for any Canada store yet .

For P4G Solid Gold Edition , i ordered it from Gamestop U.S
And i just did the same for the collector edition of Tales of Xilia.

If i see Pre-order going up for Gamestop Canada i might change my pre-order but i don't take any chance.
