This game is going to be so good. I cannot wait to play it. As far as I can tell, this DLC is only for Europe though. At least it is only a couple costumes. I'm not sure if Europe gets this, but the US get's an art book and the soundtrack alongside the game. Only a few more days left.

NA also receives this DLC with pre-order on top of the character profile book and soundtrack

Thank you very much for that information. Much appreciated.

The only Tales game I've ever played was Graces F. I liked the combat, but all the characters were annoying to me and I didn't like the story too much.

So does anyone one know if Xilia is better in these aspects or will it be about the same. Because seeing the world in these videos makes me want to play it, but I don't know if I'll like it.

krontaar3918d ago

Nope, still basically "power of friendship" and cliche jrpg characters.

If you dont like that then I would advise staying away from it.

@Capt Fuzzy

Well, from the looks of it, i think Xillia had better story and characters than Graces f. In Graces f, your party are full with teens except Malik Caesar. Maybe that's what made you felt annoying, even though i personally like Sophie and Pascal personality.

So, to make it simple, in Xillia your party are three teens (Jude Mathis, Leia Rolando, and Elize Lutus), a spirit in her early twenty (Millia Maxwell), a mercernary in his middle twenty (Alvin), and a 62 old year butler (Rowert J Elbert). If you think this simple description are more interesting compare to characters in Graces f, than you should try Xillia.

Oh and you can choose between two main characters in Xillia: Millia Maxwell or Jude Mathis. The main plot mostly the same. But in some point, they had different perspective and ending.

Artavasdus3918d ago

Don't worry, everyone who played the game agree on Xillia having a deeper and more mature story and cast, in fact it's considered one of the best Tales games in terms of narrative alongside its sequel, Xillia 2.

The Tales Of series are some of the best RPGs I've ever played, and the characters are a big reason for that. I don't think I played a single game in the series that I didn't enjoy. Rest in peace.

We're 3 months into the year and I feel like we're taking nothing but L's.

autobotdan37d ago

Wow she was the character designer for Tales of Destiny one of my favorites of all time =(

scorpio_204937d ago

I love the Tales games. Phantasia will always be my favorite. Ironically I felt like as the series progressed the character design became too “anime cliche.”

I’ve been hooked on the series ever since playing Tales of Xillia

jznrpg1726d ago

I hope they remaster or port a lot of the older games of the series to PS4/PS5
