The political intrigue between the cultures of Rieze Maxia and Elympios is both delicious and reasonable, but like any good JRPG sequel, if the player hasn’t played the first episode, the second game will leave them scratching their heads at certain parts.Ī main aspect of the game is the trigger choices mentioned earlier. The story follows Ludger, but offers numerous side chapters to help explain what happened to the various characters in the year after the schism was dispelled. It was a risky move for Namco, and unfortunately, it didn’t work. After the lush, full voice acting of the first game, this was a disappointment and tainted my enjoyment of the game. (I won’t spoil it in this review, fear not!) Ludger voices all of his lines completely in New Game+ mode, but the fact still remains that the game sounded broken or rushed during the first playthrough. Thankfully, he spared me from doing the same thing, as the matter of Ludger’s voice is actually a huge spoiler. I actually began to wonder if Namco had run short on their voice acting budget.įellow Xbro Shadowstorm144 had actually gone to Google to find out if his game was glitched or if this was intentional. This trend continued, with Ludger only uttering one-word answers or short phrases, if need be. To my disappointment, Ludger did not utter the phrases and would merely nod or react with action. The moment I saw a trigger choice with dialogue options, I was excited to hear Ludger’s voice, as the voice acting in the original Tales of Xillia was mostly phenomenal. You start the game as Ludger Will Kresnik, and the first disappointment happens almost immediately. In the very beginning, Ludger is fairly quiet, and isn’t overly vocal. Rieze Maxians are viewed as supernatural freaks, Elympions are viewed as spirit-murdering barbarians, and those in-between are torn between wishing the two worlds were divided again, or united in peace. As with any political turmoil, different factions exist. Citizens of Rieze Maxia and Elympios live in varying degrees of suspicion, fear, and optimism. Tales of Xillia 2 takes place one year after the schism has been dispelled. Combine both together, and what do you get? Why, you get the Tales series, of course! And just this past August, the latest installment in the franchise was released as the sequel to 2013’s English release of Tales of Xillia.
