Tales of Xillia to be released in the summer
After nearly two years since its original release date in Japan, The latest in Namco Bandai’s Tales series of games, Tales of Xillia is finally making its way to the West; due to be released in North America on August 6th and in Europe on August 9th with both a Standard and Collector’s Edition.
Just like Tales of Graces F before it, Tales of Xillia is one of the few traditional JRPG games left. The battle system is comprised of chaining together regular attacks along with Artes which consume AC (Assault Counter) points. It will also feature a new Link system which allows two characters to attack and use powerful dual-character Link Artes. As with all the other games in the series battles are activated by running into enemies visible on the map, once you have commenced battle your party members will fight in real-time.
Tales of Xillia is set in the world of Liese Maxia, where humans, spirits and monsters all live together in peace. As opposed to a single protagonist, this game will feature two main characters, Jude, a male medical student and Milla, whom very little is know of. Having the option of two main characters allows you to play out the story from two different perspectives. Getting the option of choosing between the characters allows you to experience various different plot points which could ultimately change the outcomes of certain events.
If you are as big a fan of Tales of Graces F as I was then Tales of Xillia is definitely a game worth looking forward to. Below is the English language trailer.
