How is this game anyway? I recall the impressions being pretty mixed, and people said it felt incomplete.

Hmm looks good.
Will get day one if there is a digital copy.
Will get day one if there is a digital copy.
The main two criticisms I hear are:
1. Maps feel large and empty.
2. Boss battles are annoying for various reasons.
And the combat isn't as fast as Graces.
Rushed with tons of copy paste areas. The most recoloring of the same enemies on Tales of series and some story stuff could have been fleshed out better. Story its good, gameplay its a step down coming from Graces but its fun as always and likeable cast unlike Graces. Bosses in some areas feel you feel the need to grind before doing em.
That is what I read around here so dont take it as my opinion.
Indeed.

Holy crap, that was awesome. Hyped!!!
Thanks, Aeana. I didn't know that. So Xillia 2 is the sane world, but different characters & story altogether. Excellent.

If yall want to know more about the game you should read my review that I wrote a year or so back.

HYPE!!!
Trailer was well done, seems that Namco actually wants to being interest to the tales brand lol.
What is this costume DLC talk? Are we getting the same pre-order bonus that Japan had?

That was a really good trailer. And the voice acting is light years ahead of Graces'.

GOOD JOB!!!
2 months away still far for me... two years after the release in japan

Some innuendo/jokes in the skits. It's nothing different from other suggestive themes in other Tales games.

Additionally, the last act is just completely rushed for reasons which you'll discover when you play it. Essentially, the game fails to live up to the potential it has towards the end. The character levelling and shop levelling systems also leave much to be desired.
Again, this doesn't mean that I disliked it. Rather, I thought it was good, but it was disappointing that it failed to live up to its potential in terms of a lot of the things it tried to do. Especially as an anniversary game.

Okay.
That was a far better trailer than I was expecting.

I said screw it. Just switched my CE to LE. Namco you took to long, and now nobody will get the CE order I just canceled. Now I get a little bit of everything and "exclusive" costumes! Couldn't care less for the figure, if it was a Jude one, maybe! Saved a good $45.
So like Vespira then?
I am super hyped for this game. I seldom buy games at full price, but I'll be snatching this up on day one.

Wow, that got me really hyped.
I wish the voices synched better with the lips, though.

No. With Vesperia the game should've just ended after Part 2. Xillia definitely has a final chapter but it just feels rushed and cut off.

Cool, I can't get too hyped because it's not Graces ballet system.

kayos answered the question well. The final act just feels cut off, as though there was more to show the player, but it just didn't happen for whatever reason.
It is not like other Tales games where the final act simply feels like Direct-to-DVD content.

Just import this and be done with it, already.

This is so true, for Abyss especially.

That was a fantastic trailer. So excited for it now.
I know I've asked this before, but for those that have already played it, how does this one compare to Symphonia and Vesperia? (Mainly in terms of story?)

'Bout $63 US. The figure's quality, though, is remarkably high considering its manufacturer.
I'm thinking about dropping cash on the Estelle figure, myself. It's so cute.

Yeah, it does look super high quality. Thanks for the link! Won't get now, but maybe sometime in the future.
