Where is the hype for Tales of Xillia ?

Xillia 2 has wat Xillia 1 doesn't.

Japan user reviews actually said Xillia was "bad". I'ma wait for 2. Maybe play 1 after 2 because it'll be cheaper by then.

Thats is dumb. You will be missing on the story and the characters. Xillia 2 wont be as good without it.

Also, you get an art book and the soundtrack for free if you pre-order.

Mostly I play Tales for the battle system and character interactions. I can read a summary of the story online and won't miss much for Xillia 2 because they use a lot of the same characters.

Besides, I finished Vesperia a month ago. Needing that break.
