Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I have to say, I am eyeing that guide. Looks fancy.

I liked Xillia and I was kind of sad to see new protagonists and characters in the sequel...
How major is the role of the old characters in the game and are they playable and have a decent story?
These factors are going to affect my purchase...

The Xillia cast is playable and they are still main characters. There are even character sidequests devoted to them.

Lol, thanks for clearing that up, seen that video aswell on YT, hilarious.
Mind posting the url? I also can't be arsed to replay ToX1 after all in fear of burning myself out. The sequel should feel a lot fresher this way.

*sighhhhhh* to buy ANOTHER tales game and try to get into the series or not........
I'm not sure if a sequel would be the best game to try to get into the series if you weren't fond with the first one, haha.

True, true haha idk, I REALLY want to like the games
Turn your brain off and just enjoy something good. Tales of Games aren't games which shine with their story/sometimes gameplay. The complete package and what u do with it makes them so good.
Also Xillia 1 and Xillia 2 are quiet short. Or you could play Tales of Symphonia Chronicles to get the feeling. Vesperia would be an awesome game to get into them too (Soundtrack, gameplay are very nice, best Tales of main character in this game).
Tales of Xillia 2s Opening Theme is the best thing ever. Just catchy and epic.
"Despite his cool demeanor, Ludger likes to keep his life simple."
This characteristic isn't in opposition to the life style. Why is it in despite? Lol they are just making up bios on the fly that seem to sound good to them. Need to make sense? Lol, nah.
Also, the special cameo DLC costumes in NA are CE only. Luckily I have no interest in them this time.

Thanks! What a weird video though, it's only half the plot and it cuts so abruptly. I assume they're gonna upload a part 2 or something soon.
In case there are any fellow Tales Of fans from the South East Asian countries, Bandai Namco SEA is finally on Twitter (https://twitter.com/BandaiNamcoSEA) (Like...finally. At last, somewhere I can go to for local information)
Heard BNSEA are going to join the inaugural GameStart gaming convention in Singapore in October. Hopefully they will have some Tales of Xillia 2 posters for grabs.
Pre-ordering the game from specific retailers, and you will get a Rollo keychain too. UUURGH tempting.
ToX2 confirmed formats for Region 3 countries:

I believe the non paid DLC costumes don't carry over. (Probably the preorder ones do but I never had them to find out).
So the small number you could unlock in game in Xillia 1 or the alternative colors DLC one don't mostly cause you unlock them in game again.

Ah. I guess they got a different embargo date like last time.
EDIT: They nailed the voice actor of

Minor thing but did they fix Milla's voice in this? In 1 is was so badly compressed it sounded like she had a lisp half the time.

I'm also curious if they used better audio compression this time.

oh, is that what that was? I thought she was supposed to sound like that. XD

Seems like a fair review. I wish had the money for this right now.
does this game do anything right? no imas equivalent theme except a crappy rotating one?
I hope so. I like the voice actress but the audio quality was so bad in the first game. I wonder what happened.
If you still own it, finish Xillia. Not sure if any recaps exist.
Agreed.
And it's not as though Tales of Xillia is extremely lengthy, especially if you don't bother with a second play-through/post-game content.
Just play as Jude to get the bulk of the story. At least, that's what I've read.

Yeah, Jude will get you everything you need to know. I also find him much more enjoyable to play as. But I usually prefer melee fighters anyway.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
The game's (optional) tutorials assume you haven't played Xillia.
i've still got my current theme and they can't take that from me
Good to know thanks. On another note I checked the trophy list and it looks to be a LOT grindier than Xillia, not sure if I'll bother with the platinum. I'll most likely knock out every single quest and post game activity.
Edit: Holy shit I'm no longer a Junior !

I really can't wait for this game on Tuesday. UPS always brings my amazon stuff around 2:30. I have the CE preordered from amazon just like I did with Tales of Xilla. TOX was my fav rpg in the past decade by far and the first game I ever bothered to platinum. I was a little sad that the plat trophy took less than 60 hours for such an awesome rpg.
So far from the previews I only really have 2 negatives going in this one. The main character looks horrible and dull from the previews, I hope that isn't the case. And the debt system just seems dumb as hell. Either way, I took off work the entire next week to play this.

I played the first one some days ago (first playthrough) skipping pretty much every non-boss battle (and ate 100% bonus xp food before bosses), took me 24h to finish it, I was level 70 by the end without grinding. Could be a little faster if I didn't expend time doing some sidequests.
I played this way exactly because I didn't want to be burned out when ToX2 released.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Why am I so excited for this game?
Maybe I'm just craving an RPG. Xillia hit all the right notes for me,so I'm optimstic that this'll do the same.

I've been looking forward to finally playing this all summer, I can't believe it's so close!
Amazon estimates it'll deliver my copy next Friday at the earliest (free shipping), but I seem to always get my preorders on release day regardless of their estimates or the shipping I choose, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that'll happen again this time.

Thanks for the reminder, I was able to switch my order from Amazon to Amazon.ca. That'll save me at least $40.
I skimmed and didn't see it earlier. Thanks.

I actually went through the entire tales of xillia without ever performing a chained arte or super move because I didn't realize i could :x had to watch the ending of the game on youtube, couldnt beat the last boss. But I know better now. Looking forward to this. Combat system was somewhat confusing to me too.
