As the story progresses you find that Ludger possess a power of the Kresnik clan that allows him to venture into alternate dimensions a.k.a fractured dimensions. When the train they are on is hijacked by a terrorist organization, Ludger and Jude are tasked with stopping the train. The game starts in Elympios where Ludger meets a young Elle who is tasked with getting to the Land of Canaan so she may be reunited with her father. Now the story works in chapters and is a little convoluted and feels like it took a page from Final Fantasy. The transformation is powerful and can help out in a pinch during strong boss battles. Ludger also has a special power he can call upon during battles, his Chromatus transformation, which allows him to unleash his inner beast mode. To gain skills and artes you have to get Elemental Ore which is obtained when you fight enemies or by gathering it in the field, the more enemies you fight the more Elemental Ore you’ll gain and the more skills and artes you’ll get. The Allium orb is very different, you have to place an extractor which contains the artes and skills that the characters use. Leveling up is the same, battling monsters gains you experience, however the old ‘skill web’ or Lillium Orb is replaced by the Allium orb. (ugh.) It’s not difficult to pay off portions of it as long as you’re doing the extra side quests, but it is a pain when you want to purchase gear or weapons and the woman who keeps bothering you about your payments is annoying. Gald is important!! In the beginning of the game you acquire a huge amount of debt that you must pay off to advance certain parts of the story. The Job Board posts multiple quests at a time such as defeating monsters and fetch quests that will give you gald. Gaining affinity will give you special bonuses and unlockables. Choose wisely! Certain answers will help build up affinity towards other characters. Other characters will ask you questions and you have to decide how you’ll answer. (You do unlock his voice once you complete the game and unlock New Game +) It also has a decision based concept. What’s interesting about this game, is the protagonist Ludger does not speak. Well to be honest they aren’t the stars of this game, the real stars are two newcomers to the series: Ludger Kresnik And Elle Mel Marta. Soo, Tales of Xillia 2 takes place a year after Tales of Xillia and it looks like Jude and Milla’s story isn’t over yet. Anyway, why don’t we just dive right into the meat and potatoes of this review. Long time no see fellow geeks! Well it happened, summer is gone and fall is upon us once more and you know what that means… Games galore! And yes I know Tales of Xillia 2 came out in August. Welcome back to the Elympios and Rieze Maxia.
