Seeing Xillia 2 makes me wish that Namco make other Tales games after Xillia 2 with modern civilization and what i mean by that is that it would have a world with cars, modern city buildings, tv, cell phones, trains and etc and you know what i mean instead of being medieval like all the time with new Tales of games they make. Because in Xillia 2 it had a modern civilization well kinda i think with modern technology like cell phones, modern city buildings, guns, tv and etc. Something like what Square Enix did with Final Fantasy when it use to be knights and dragons and such you know what i mean until it got to Final Fantasy 7 where that game had a modern civilization and technology and such. And i don't have a problem with medieval things in games i just think the Tales series needs to evolve just like Final Fantasy and other games did instead of making a new Tales game with the same medieval like themes in each new Tales of game they make cause i think it's kind of getting old, and well yeah i do know the Tales games with a medieval like world has some sort of technology in it i think i guess but i'm talking about modern technology like what Xillia 2 has right now. I just wish Namco would make another Tales game with a advance modern like civilization and technology as a breath of fresh air to the Tales series.

If that's the kind of setting you're interested in, I suggest you check out the Trails games. It's a Legend of Heroes spinoff series that takes place about 50 years after the setting's equivalent of the industrial (magitech) revolution, and one of the series' themes is how society as a whole is still adapting to the significant changes made by the new technology, while also becoming increasingly more reliant on it. What games have been translated are all available on steam. The first game can be found here: store.steampowered.com/app/251150/The_Legend_of_Heroes_Trails_in_the_Sky/

Call it controversial if you like, but I enjoyed the darker tone of Xillia 2. It may not leave you feeling like everything turns out right by the end, but honestly, that's how it is in life. Fiction always wrapping up with everything being sunshine and daisies at the end and nobody has to suffer ever again is pure fantasy. Which may be another big part of why I like Xillia 2: right from the outset it works to undermine the "everything got better" interpretation of the ending from the previous game and highlight the "but we still have a long ways to go" part that so many conveniently tend to ignore.

@leatherhead3339 жыл бұрын
+Sky Render I don't really understand what you are trying to argue here. The characters in Xillia went through TONS of shit even before the second game including losing loved ones, emotional suffering (Elize, Alvin, Millia and Jude went through this the most) and they even end up fighting each other. Hell Jude lost his teacher/idol within the first damn hour of the game. These characters suffered greatly. Not to mention the ending didn't necessarily guarantee anything either. Jude still had to find a way to fix the problem between the worlds in a limited time. He even brings up the "but we still have a long ways to go" thing you brought up (which really doesn't make any sense if you are talking about Tales of Xillia 2's true ending btw). Did you even play the damn games before spouting this crap? o_O So are you telling me that these characters just aren't allowed to have ANY kind of happiness because it doesn't jive with your own sense of realism? Even though that sense is EXTREMELY flawed? I'm questioning why people use this argument when it comes to endings. If the ending makes sense and doesn't totally come out of nowhere with a bullshit deus ex what's the problem if it's happy? Comparing a game about magical powers, spirits and other fantasy nonsense to real life is a pretty foolish venture in the first place though.
@fatmouth0079 жыл бұрын
+holdingdegree9 You're not wrong, but I think what Sky Render was saying was that the dark ending makes it a little more relatable in a more ethereal sense. A big message that Xillia 2 was trying to convey was that in order to have something, you must miss out on or lose something else in return. You cant have your cake and eat it. It was also somewhat a commentary on life and what you would dedicate your life to - what would you sacrifice and what do you covet? What do you prioritize? To what degree would you will your passions and desires into existence? Everyone's answer to these questions are different, and the game focuses on your answers through Ludger. The great thing about this game (both X1 and 2) is that nobody comes out unscathed, much like real life, and that is a paradoxical breath of fresh air from the endings of most of the other games in the Tales series, and hell, even other stories in general. Its humbling and terrifying that we'll all make decisions that will alter our individual endings, as well as the endings of everyone else, and that experience is captured and portrayed through the lens of a PS3 game. Pretty cool stuff.
@leatherhead3339 жыл бұрын
Chikin Nuggits I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with the merits you seem to be intent on giving Tales of Xillia 2. To put things bluntly your choices literally don't do shit until the final few chapters. That's when you actually have control over the final outcome. This fact alone kind of craps all over the whole choice factor that TX2 tried to push so hard. Just to bring up a few examples why can't you choose to save the Millia from the fractured dimension instead of Elle? The game gives you the option to try to save her but at the end she always has to leave. Why? Because the writers made Elle to important. Which put a limit on the choice system. Why can't you join Julius when you confront Rideaux? Why does he always get captured no matter what you do? Why can't you chose to join Bisley and his plan? In the grand scheme of things he's not wrong for wanting spirits to bend to the will of humans when Origin was a huge jackass who already set them up for failure when taking his asshole trial. See what I'm getting at here? This is no "Walking Dead" or "Until Dawn". The choice system is complete garbage in comparison to those games. Yes certain things ARE set in stone during those games but not to the extent Xillia 2 did it. When writing a game around this system can't make characters so important to the plot like Elle or Millia Maxwell. All it does is limit the options the player has to change the situation. Which I felt through most of my time playing the game. I didn't really have control over anything. Just minorly altering the dialogue doesn't cut it I'm afraid.
@fatmouth0079 жыл бұрын
holdingdegree9 Again, you're not wrong. I agree that they made it kinda shitty in how they implemented "choice" in the game and it felt like the writers were lazy there. I was just analyzing it from a literary standpoint (as if it were a book), and only taking the final product of the story sans everything else. I agree with all your points, and it makes Xillia 2 an overall worse game. I was just hoping to clarify some of OP's statements. I think X2 would've been better if it were linear so at least we would have a clearer fleshed out story instead of a "branching" one that has no player driven consequence. If X2 were a book/show with a good author/director, I believe my merits would be valid. Sorry for any confusion duder ;w;
