Tales of Xillia just reminded me, that I honestly should stop caring about Final Fantasy series now (So I am free from buying Final Fantasy games yay), seriously I get hyped for every single one, only to be disappointed, while even the worse mainline tales game isn't that bad (Tales of Graces F).

Apparently Jude is 15. o.0

Yes he is, hence why the act like he is mature for his age. 

Lol I mean he was like 12 so it made sense, Yuri giving him the title of leader of Brave Vesperia only made Yuri that much cooler and helped develop Karol a bit more. Gish I should play that game again. 

Im about 7 or so hours in and the game isnt really giving me alot reasons to like it so far... The characters are paperthin, the voiceacting go from decent to horrible with tons of awkward pauses and weird gestures. Cant really comment on the story yet though its pretty standard, nothing wrong about that aslong as the characters are likeable.. maybe they'll grow on me or maybe the story will take some unexpected turns.

The barren enviorments are a bit off-putting and pretty boring to explore but i still run around searching for them chests and sparkly things. I really like the addicting combat, leveling system and store upgrades so its doing something right.. Just not what i expected since so many said it was alot better than Graces

the main gripe i had with the battle system was that i felt restrained not being able to side step around the enemy (like Graces F) but thank godness for an upgrade in the lillium orb which now lets me do this! :) so happy as i didnt think it was going to be part of this battle system! Well Done Xillia :D

@Xeilyn i agree with you about the barren environments, doesn't look like much thought has been put into those, Grcaes F were much better to explore as there were more detail put into them. Still i dont mind, im enjoying the game!

He's also the only one in the history of JRPG's characters to receive the title "Troubled One", so that should speak in his behalf

If I remember doesn't Vesperia look better than this graphically? Also there seems to be a lack of minigames, this bugged me about the original FFXIII and Xenoblade, and currenlty might bug me here. It helps with pacing I think.

Yeah some mini games would help. i was actually expecting one when you got to hamil and found out about them secret treasure chests scattered across the land, i thought youd have to solve a little puzzle to open them, i was wrong :)

Ha most definately.
