   The Map Recycling is the only thing who sucks a little bit, but the rest is simply brilliant.
   I am giving ToX 10 Points simply to counter the Metacritic Score because 75 is by far too less.
   So i would give it 87/100 in my opinion :)… Expand

   This is your run of the mill good JRPG that has a few things holding it back to keep it from being a classic. Xillia 2 is the sequel to one ofThis is your run of the mill good JRPG that has a few things holding it back to keep it from being a classic. Xillia 2 is the sequel to one of the better Tales games in a long time in Tales of Xillia. It introduces two new main characters and brings back all the first games characters as your party members. The two new characters are both really annoying in that one has a voice that will get on your nerves and another is the silent protagonist except he talks when he wants too. Neither of these characters are great because of that. They should have made the main guy either silent or give him lines. The inbetween stuff with him is quite annoying.
   The story is about what you'd expect from a JRPG at this point. It's not bad but it's not good either. The characters from the old game did a fairly decent job at being backup but it felt like they were an odd third wheel at times. It's like the developers said they wanted to have something new but not too new or it would drive away players from the first game.
   Luckily the game is saved by it's battle system and the music. The battle system is pretty much the same as the first game and that's a great thing. The Tales battle systems have been known for their excellence and it's why I love just going around fighting things sometimes. The music is also great, especially if you have a love for jazz and blues as there is alot of influences in the game from those two genres of music.
   This game is good for what it does and it was a good attempt at making a direct sequel to one of the most popular Tales games of all time. It's not great but it's not bad and an 8/10 is the perfect score for a game like this.… Expand

   Esta secuela es prácticamente lo mismo que la anterior, solo se jugaría para de alguna forma darle un final a la historia.

   Xillia 1 came second to Symphonia in my books and I was hoping for more of the same/better things with this. Unfortunately, I have to say that I found this game fairly average. I didn't find myself wanting to spend time with the characters as much as I did in the first one. My thought throughout the game was 'hurry up and finish already'. I think that is a shame because THERE IS a good amount of worthwhile content, but Xillia 2 is far too disjointed and bloated to enthusiastically recommend.… Expand

   I am not a fan. My brothers and I played through the first one and I loved it and so logically we got the second one. And I mean, we knew itI am not a fan. My brothers and I played through the first one and I loved it and so logically we got the second one. And I mean, we knew it wasn't gonna be as good as the first one cause sequels rarely are but this....this is just....no es bueno. We have been playing for 72 hours, we are level 63, we've already maxed out abilities on 7 characters and we're only like half way through the game, at least that's what it seems like, and it's sooo boring. And annoying cause the creator decided they didn't want people having fun cause they changed things up in a way that's just irritating. Like the main character is locked on the party throughout the game, now combine that with the linked system, you can't change party members on the world map, now combine that with the fact that only Leia can steal, and the main character has a super mode that takes over the entire battle, now combine that with multiplayer....you see a pattern? These things, while probably 'meh' when playing solo become a huge irritation when playing in a group. And the game designers didn't stop there. Now take that already horrible mixture and throw in a bratty 8 year old that won't shut her freaking mouth, a freaking loan shark who calls you CONSTANTLY even in timed areas, and a main character who has the emotional complexity of a slug who never talks and you have to make decisions for and you have the **** sandwich that is this game. There are so many draw backs, if it weren't for the fact that I loved like 66% of the characters in the last game, Idda already bailed. Also, there are quests where your party is Ludger, a pair of characters and then a free character, the pairs are always the same, so you don't get the fun interactions you might get from Alvin and Elize, plus that would make more sense than sending both mages together. It's just...it's bad.
   Plus, just random complaint, why did the name the child Elle when we already have Elize who's nickname from Teepo was Ellie? That just seems like poor planning.… Expand
