* IKnewIt: Two examples were figured out pretty easily by ''Tales'' series players:
** No one was surprised that [[spoiler:Alvin would be the one to do all of the [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder chronic backstabbing]] that usually happens in the series.]]
** Most people saw [[spoiler:the reveal that Milla ''wasn't'' Maxwell coming, or at least had a feeling something like it was going to happen, mainly because 1) the fact that she is supposedly Maxwell at all seems like something that should have been a major twist in its own right and 2) it was casually revealed not long after the game was announced and discussed heavily in the game itself from the very beginning, alerting players that there had to be something more to it. It doesn't help that players who've played other games in the series with Maxwell in them will already suspect if not outright know that Milla isn't him.]]

Boobs Of Steel has been disambiguated


** On the [[HoYay Les Yay]] side, there's Teepo repeatedly ''{{m|arshmallowHell}}otorboating'' [[BoobsOfSteel Milla]]. This may not seem that much at first, but it's eventually discovered that [[spoiler: Teepo has no mind of his own. He just voices and acts on Elize's innermost thoughts and desires, including the ones she's not consciously aware of.]] Teepo is also always the most enthusiastic about Milla growing bigger Bazongas...

* MoralEventHorizon: Gilland. He takes a little ''too'' much joy in watching innocent people dissolve into mana during his experiments to increase the Lance of Kresnik's efficiency. He crosses it even before then on Milla's path when he has an innocent woman killed while showcasing the hex fields and exploding anklets.

Gag Boobs was renamed to Boob Based Gag.


* MemeticMutation: Due to that one skit, it seems that the word [[GagBoobs "BAZONGAS"]] are now used a lot to refer to ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia''.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment:GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: ''Xillia'' has been remarkably well-received by American audiences, arguably even more than in Japan. So much that ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia2'' had its American release announced immediately after the release of ''Xillia''. If ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' is the ''Tales'' series' answer to ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', then Xillia is the answer to ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX''.
* HarsherInHindsight: All of Teepo's jabs at people like Alvin and Leia, such as calling them names and accusing Leia of being TheLoad, become a lot less funny when [[spoiler: it's revealed that Teepo is a booster that speaks Elize's true thoughts.]]

** A frequent complain of the branching paths the choice of protagonists gives, is that while both characters are central to the plot, Judes' path gets a lot more of the plot points, while Millia's path tends to skip around. This is immediately visible from the start: Jude gets a build up as to why he shows up at the research facility, establishing who he is and why he's there. Millia just teleports there, and her reasons are explained during the exploration - something both protagonists get to see because they tie in the main plot. This leads Jude's path to feeling built up as a story, while Millia's feels like you were just dropped in the game and said game trying desperately to backfill who Millia is and why Millia's there. The game could be best summarized as "It's Millia's story but Jude sees all the plot points."

* StrangledByTheRedString: Jude and Milla's OfficialCouple status has earned some criticism for this. The game doesn't really go a lot to develop it on Milla's end, and Jude's comes across as more like he idolizes her, but the game very heavily confirms they have feelings for each other. The fact they don't verbally confirm their feelings for one another also comes across as a LastMinuteHookup.

* DracoInLeatherPants: Gaius. It says alot that an overlord who nearly committed genocide (immediate or otherwise) could have so many fans.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Driselle. Despite being a relatively minor character, her sweet and kind personality, on top of her becoming almost an older sister to Elize, quickly made her someone fans wanted to see more of. Combined with her good design and being implied to have taken training lessons from Rowen, and many wanted her to join the party, especially in the sequel.

* FanNickname: There's an NPC vendor who can be heard screaming about fresh mutton in almost ''every single town'' that you go to. He gets called "The Mutton Man"; sometimes [[http://divinesabers.tumblr.com/post/59691703118/oh-do-you-know-the-mutton-man-the-mutton-man in direct reference to The Muffin Man]], other times simply because he's, well... A man who sells mutton.
