Tales of Xillia |OT| - Teach me about Bazongas!

The vibes and asian instrumentation are great, but the arrangements are simplistic and there are no quality melodies anywhere. And none of the songs seem to be specifically composed for a specific scene or area. It's all generic, at least so far (beginning of chapter 2).
It's perfect on Rowan.
I haven't gotten him yet, but it makes Jude look better too imo

I like how you can equip hairstyles while keeping the original outfit. I'm rocking Jude's formal wear hairstyle while he is in normal costume. Also have the dagger attachment, its around his arm in a leather sheath.

Lol , not only there is the cultural difference , but there is also the way voice are recorded across the very different studios that have a very different level of knowledge regarding some works.
There are just too many factors to expect a perfect job across languages.
Nope. You're supposed to fast travel.

Rowen is awesome. His artes are really fighting-gamey, and he's really fun to use (especially since most Tales mages are kinda clunky in manual use)
You also share TP and if one gets hit by a status ailment it will affect both. Seems like it should mostly be on anyway, but certain enemies/bosses should make that more of something to be aware of.
What it this? I don't have it

If anything you'd probably be over leveled if you didn't fast travel lol

I was wondering why the title has 《bazoongas》 in it but I just got Elly and her pet thing made a really awkward statement..
You're RPGcrazied!. Anyone who went through the Xenoblade import thread years ago would expect no less.
I'm in some Apple orchard village really early on. Milla's voice doesn't bother me, but I liked Asbel and most of the cast of Graces so my judgement is suspect I guess.
That was exactly 2 years ago is that right? Good times...
Are all 4 chapters pretty much of equal length? ~ how long is the game?
So after hearing about the horror stories you guys told me about Digital River and Ni no Kuni, I was scared that I had taken the risk in ordering the Collector's Edition of Tales of Xillia through them on Namco Bandai's website after NewEgg dicked everyone over and cancelled all of the pre-orders.
However, I finally received the game today and it was in excellent condition!
No dings or dents whatsoever! I'm so happy that everything worked out in the end! This was a gift for my boyfriend so it was especially important that I get this. He got it and he couldn't be happier! He's a huge fan of the Tales series and this absolutely made his day!

If only I could be so optimistic about Namco Bandai EU.
It was shipped out on tuesday according to tracking, and yet despite it being released tomorrow. It's still in god damn France. To top it off, I googled the places and it's gone from South East France, to North West France, for it then to go back to just south of Paris for some reason. What the hell?

Really doesn't look like I'll get it tomorrow, really unimpressed considering I ordered it as soon as the CE became available to pre-order on their site.

Yeah, I just reached that point as well. I had the most ridiculous smirk on my face.
That was priceless.
Alvin's VA's delivery on that was perfect. Jude's reaction to it was also hilarious.
CD Universe did the same and that was the one I was keeping for me (I gifted the other 2 I ordered, one from Amazon and one from GameStop). So, I was left without a CE (but I made 2 people happy, so I guess that's something) ._.

Were there people saying Xillia felt light on "content" in this thread, or was I imagining things? I finished the game today, and it took longer than Graces f, but just a bit faster than Vesperia. Unless they mean post-game content, I'm just not seeing that.
We mean post-game content.
And uh, for most people it actually takes less time, haha. Probably depends on what difficulty you were playing for all of them.

Well, 30-40 hours is a typical playtime, no matter which difficulty you choose.
Post/end-game content (ie: before the final boss and after the final boss) like other games in the series.
Ah, misread it and thought it said more time than Vesperia.
Yeah, 30-40 hours for Graces/Xillia and more for Vesperia sounds right.

Teepos voice is meh. Wish it didnt sound so 'human'
as a question, before I do something irreversible, I bought some items with those black feathers pieces to a trader in Sharliton. The items seem to be "high priced items" that go for a couple thousand "points".
Is there any reason I should hold onto these items, or just donate to expand the shops/sell them?
Also, on the box, it's listing something about Multiplayer? Am I seeing things incorrectly, and if not, how do you do it?

Ugh. Could you guys stop bringing that up. Most of it was me whining I'd never get the game. Truth is I'll probably never import a game ever. Its over, thanks.
Hold onto them, you can trade them for stat boosting items and some other nice goodies (Artes Ball that lets you equip up to 16 artes at once).
Change a character to Semi-Auto or Manual in their artes menu for multiplayer. So say Milla is in the 2nd slot, if you change her to SA or Manual 2nd player will control her.

Clarification on the artes ball and the other milestone bonuses: it doesn't matter if you spend them or not, for these. The game knows when you've collected 100, whether you've spent any or not, so that's not a concern.

Caved in and bought the game. Been playing for a few hours now. Gotta say, Milla's VA isnt bad at all. Some of you had me thinking it was Aqua from BBS levels of bad. Also, one of you mentioned her lisp and now I can't help but notice it at every scene.
Finally got a chance to start and I'm liking it so far, but I'm really not very far at all. I just got Milla and have been playing around with the battles to get more of a feel.
By the way, does this game not let you go to Level 200 like usual in Tales games? I know there's never usually a reason to go that high, but I always liked the option.

Thanks for the prompt response. I might pick this up next week, looks really good.

There's actually a reason this time as you get grade and titles from reaching level 99 with each of your characters.

The game gives you four difficulty options at the start and you can switch between them at any point in the game. Easy mode pretty much is stomp mode I think enemies have half hp of something crazy like that
Sorry to re-post my question, but I'm planning on starting this game as soon as I get to my console -- could anyone please help me out?
There's a fair bit of important stuff that you only see as Jude. There's parts where you split up, but there's also parts where the characters are just like a room apart and Jude's story bits are still way more important than Milla's.
I mean, you can still play as Milla if you're playing Jude's story, so there's not a huge loss in choosing him.
