It's very hard to get excited for JRPG's nowadays. It's definitely on my to buy list but I'm not really anticipating it at all.


Why is it hard to get excited?  With the overwhelming positive reception it got in Japan idk how any JRPG fan wouldn't be excited to finally get their hands on this after 2 long years.

I'll likely skip this one and grab Xillia 2 instead. I heard Xilla 1 was underwhelming but Xillia 2 fixed a lot.

At least according to Japan's reviews.


Don't you think you'll be lost in the story.

I'll read a summary. Tales games aren't really known for super complicated expansive stories. 

Besides, I have plenty stuff to play this fall. And with me going off to college, I don't have the time.

Really excited as well! So many games lately and Xillia is a huge one for me. Definitely get around to it as soon as I can.

Gameplay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6g1IxPd8Uek

What do you mean the game looks visually amazing.  The combat is very fast paced, it doesn't have rando encounters, you see the enemies and when you touch them then you enter combat.  If its like the other Tales of games then this is how the combat goes, you have your basic attack and then you have your special attacks which you can assign 4 of them at a time, you have your usual dodge and block mechanics.  There is a party system where you have 4 members of your party fighting at a time and you can play as any of them, your not constricted to one character.  There are certain attacks where you can link up with someone in your party and pull off a special attack.  Obviously I don't know much about the story, but considering the very high scores it got in Japan I can only assume it has a pretty good story.

Oh, it's just the name.  'Zilla' is the name given to the creature in the 97 US Sony 'Godzilla' movie as a sign of respect to the Japanese Godzilla creature and movies.  It's a bit of a term of disrespect.

Xilla is pronounced the same way.  I realize they have nothing to do with one another other than the sound of the name.  It's an unfortunate name coincidence.

Thanks will check out the trailer.  Sounds a bit like Dragon Age or Final Fantasy where you can play a group of characters.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Tales of Xillia looks pretty fun and it's considered to have the best storytelling of the series, so you can consider me excited for this game.
