So far as I know, Tales of Xillia 2 is the *only* "Tales of" game with a silent protagonist. I could be wrong on that, though- I haven't played all of them. I know for a fact that Symphonia, Dawn of the New Age, Graces, Xillia 1, and Zestiria all have talking heroes. Disgaea isn't known for silent protagonists, either. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that Laharl, Mao, and sometimes Valvatorez are actually _very loud._ In Megaman X Command Mission, X is just as talkative as everyone else during cutscenes and battles. No two ways about it, Lan and Megaman.exe are full of personality in the Megaman Battle Network games, and even chat with each other at the push of a button. Same for Geo and Omega-Xis in Megaman Starforce. I may not know much about it, but I think only about _half_ of the Fire Emblem series relies on mute heroes...
