What do you mean it doesn't continue the story? Xillia's story was comphrensive enough but this takes place a year after. This game expands on what the characters are doing now, how they're dealing with things, and expands on stuff that was set up in Xillia 1 (like Elympios and additional spirits).

I kinda felt that Jude and Milla's story could have been expanded a lot further, so I was hoping that the sequel would focus on them. I realize it takes place in the same universe, but I never liked it when RPGs yank the previous story from under your feet. I kind of want to see continuity from the characters into sequels, like Breath of Fire 3 to Breath of Fire 4 or the like. I'll see though. I'll probably end up picking it up on a digital sale.

Agree 100% on the bolded. I love both of those characters a lot and its the only reason I'm worried on how I'll feel about this one.

I know there's a lot of people who have played this and say Xillia 2 is better but I wonder if I'll feel the same. Most people I see saying that are talking about the gameplay, and honestly the reason I loved Xillia was its plot and characters not its gameplay.
