UPDATE 5/29

Leia Bio: “An adventure’s waiting! Let’s make
the most of it!”

A bright and very emotionally expressive girl. She knows Jude from their childhood. While helping out at the family inn, she is studying to become a nurse at Jude's parents' Mathis Clinic. She has a warm heart and cares for others' feelings, but she tends to care too much, bearing herself with distress. A lover of fighting and sport games, she easily becomes heated, but believes what's important is to make your best effort rather than winning or losing. While sometimes feeling down from her mistakes, she is a hard worker and always pushes to do her best.

Rowen Bio: “Hohoho! Your words ring true.
Caving to worry and doubt would
only waste my time, and this old man
is not growing any younger.”

Old butler serving House Sharil, one of the high houses of Rashugal. He is always calm and keeps graceful and polite manners. Having talent in spirit artes, he is the strategist supporting the party with his experience and plans rather than with raw power, but he is also naturally lightens up the situation with his cute jokes. He has a wide range of knowledge, superb analytical abilities and determination, enabling him to always be one step ahead. There is a more aggressive side to him that sometimes shows through his piercing eyes, when he deviates from his normally soft expressions.

Sometime before 4/11 LOL
Alright. This is all the stuff that got released today. According to Facebook they'll be doing two characters every month essentially.

You've asked for Tales of Xillia news, we have delivered! Starting off today, you can expect a monthly Character Focus feature with videos and a monthly showcase of some of the most beautiful places you can explore in Tales of Xillia. Today, learn about Jude (Jyde in the German version) and Milla our two main characters, and take a look at their battle styles! Don't hesitate to spread the word and share with your friends who may not know about the game or the series :) By the way, Jude's name has been changed in the German version of the game for obvious localization reasons. His name will be Jyde.

Was it already confirmed that we will not get the japanese voices? I guess so since it is Tales, but i want Miyuki Sawashiro!
 
This game is coming out earliest May. Just saying. That's when these updates end.
Hopefully this is right so I can beat it before I go back to school.

Game looks nice. I was about to import it after Play-asia had a sale but figured I should just support Namco for localizing it.

Milla is so deep sounding and flat. :/ She wasn't even trying for "Now's your chance."

Jude's great, though.

There was a gamestop listing floating around Twitter for a bunch of games a few days ago. Tales of Xillia was listed at July 2. Obviously it could just be placeholder or speculation.

Milla is unexpressive compared to the rest of the cast, especially at the start, even in Japanese. That's definitely a plot thing.

I appreciate their attempt to give Milla a deep voice, but this really doesn't sound good in combat.

It's still better than the Tales of Graces voice-overs, though.

Milla is unexpressive compared to the rest of the cast, especially at the start, even in Japanese. That's definitely a plot thing.

Oh, that does make sense then.

Though I wonder if they'll change her voice in battle when that shift happens in the story otherwise it'll be pretty jarring.
