Tales Of Xillia (1 & 2) are pretty underrated, Why?

I played Xillia and Xillia 2 and i dont like the games at all.

Tales of Graces and Hearts R are great games and fore me wayyyy better than Xillia 1+2

I can't speak on Tales of Hearts because I haven't played it but I own Graces. Graces is a good RPG, but I prefer both Xillia games over it. Graces came of as bit generic. While I like the game, I didn't enjoy it as much as Versperia or the Xillia games. Asbel was a forgettable protagonist. I liked the duality to Xillia 1. The antagonist wasn't really evil. He was trying to save Rieze Maxia as well. It was nice change the usual situation in RPGs. Xillia 2 fleshes him out even more.

I feared Xillia 2 would turn out like Symphonia 2. Thankfullly it didn't. The returning cast was handled well and Ludger was a FAR better lead than Emile Castagnier.  His relationship with his brother, the three different endings....I really like ToX2. I prefer it to the original. 

Haven't played Xillia 2 but after what happened with Symphonia 2, I was a bit scared about that game and never picked it up....

Symphonia is amazing --> Symphonia 2 is terrible

Xillia is awesome ---> Xillia 2 is ???

 

Guess I will have to try out Xillia 2 now.. :P
