Finally, a tales game worth playing. Take "Tales" off of Xillia and just call it Xillia, this one stands far apart from the originality of previous tales games. It doesn't have the cookie cutter content and is truly an incredible game to play. I'd say this is probably the best one so far. Don't get me wrong, I love RPGs but not too much of the anime type. There are some however with exception (Valkyria Chronicles, Ni No Kuni, Persona, or Atelier etc.). My choice of RPGs are Final Fantasy (4,7-10 & 12), Xenosaga, Xenogears, Kingdom Hearts, Star Ocean 4, Drakengard, Dragon's Dogma, Elder Scrolls, Assassin's Creed, Legend of Dragoon etc (list is too big hahaha!!!), but you get the point.
You can play as two people either Jude or Milla. The field and controls are easier to navigate and the battle system is the best of all tales games. I can't say the same for Tales of the Abyss. The storyline isn't so kiddy as most tales games, it actually draws you in! Although some of the characters look like they can be in an episode of Naruto. The characters stand out and not so annoying as Pascal from Tales of Graces. You have Jude (my favorite), a medical student who is framed and on the run from authorities for being with Milla. She is also on the run and goes by another name known as Maxwell, a spirit of nature. You then have Alvin who is a man filled with so many secrets and one of the funniest people on your team. Then there is Rowen, Elise & Teepo, and Leia who also have interesting backgrounds. This is a great tales game with a good storyline because of the well developed characters, finally!!!
What I like a lot about Xillia is the link of characters on the field to the other. They can do special attacks together. Also, they do a lot of talking that shockingly doesn't bore you. The characters do fight so its good to catch a funny joke or break now and then. Tales of Zestiria is another one of those "outside the box" tales games.
I like some of the tales games but the anime openings could be a bit more catchy in music. I love those kinds of games where the music can tell you how strong your enemy is going to be. But to get back to Tales of Xillia, its awesome! If you don't like tales games, give this one a try. I guarantee you will change your mind. But if you are a tales person, then this one may not excite you as much. Funny thing is, I feel the same way too about a lot of tales games.
