Tales Series

Probably the same reason her father calls himself "Victor" instead of using his real name.

and : Whew, thank goodness I had already watched videos until what amounts to be The Unreveal. Chapter 7 started: we finally get a Corpse Shell plot explanation + tutorial for using it in battle! (and not only cutscenes) Took you half the plot, game. Only the first level though, there are supossedly 3 more that give Ludger more and spiffier armor parts.

What tipped me about the aforementioned reveal is Elle's quote: Elle: That is my father's [pocketwatch], not Julius'! when Bisley reveals that the pocketwatch triggers the Chromatus transformation. And that such power is exclusive to the Kresnik bloodline. It only means that Elle is a Kresnik, no word on his dad's identity yet. But yeah, we only have met TWO Chromatus users...

So Chronos is the spirit that's causing the alternate dimensions. And they happen to kill people if left unchecked. Does it means that Chronos is a gamer and the alternate worlds are his idea of multiple saves?

Played Graces again today. Ended up finding some sorta trading card with Philia Philis on it.

That's for the Magic Carta minigame.

Ah I see. That's interesting actually.

Playing Xillia 2 cause I have to grind if I want to do Hearts R's postgame and I don't feel like it.

First things: The chapters are frankly buuuuuuuuullshit. You do a very short story segment and then BAM! the game arbitrarily limits your progress, cash, and has you run around grinding to artificially lengthen its short story.

Party availability blows. There was zero reason for the restrictions other than artificial difficulty because the already broken game would be even easier if they just let me use whoever I want. Alternate worlds are dumb. It's the exact same place as Xillia but with a new coat of paint that...makes no difference. Boooooooooring.

On the bright side, Elle is a nice character and Rollo is OHMYADORBS. *_* Kitty disptach is best mechanic, Richea cat is cute, petrification is broken and Bacuras trivialize Alium Orb dumb grinding.

I am near the end of Tales of Xillia 2 so I will not spoil anything, but it has been a while since I tear up at a game. The last game to do so was my first tales game Abyss.

I am enjoying Tales of Xillia 2 so far, excluding the having to grind gald and do pointless jobs, well not all are pointless since some grant really good items but I digress, to advance it has been good so far.

Oh hey the Magic Carte roster has shitloads on it. Its got Cless, Lloyd, Regal, Natalia, FUCK OFF AND DIE and even Karol. neqt.

Yeah...so shit just went down in Legendia.

Pretty sure the Ferenes qualify for collective asshole victim status by this point. Nothing like fighting genocide with genocide.

We sunk lots of hours into Vesperia. I BEAT GATTUSO FIRST TRY! ON NORMAL! TAKE THAT SUCKER! I AM DA BOMB! (Friend: Eh... you know... the Secret Mission...) Huh? DAMM IT! Took 3 tries to get the f*cking Mission, on Easy, and I got it by complete accident. Now you know the REAL reason Gattuso is the Noob Killer. Not that Zagi 2 was any slouch either.

Capua Nor marks Patty's first appearance. What's funny is that the menu patch extracts its data from the hidden 360 code inside the PS 3 disc: the Synopsis fails to mention Patty, even when it should (360 version text) and instead skipped to the next page that mentions a fire in Ragou's mansion. Now the Wonder Reporter tells things that have not happened yet as a result. LOL. The Score went off track the moment Patty was born. The Dice minigame was translated too! It relies on dumb luck, but... small mercies.

Caer Bocram holds the password puzzle. UGH. Look for kana cards to spell 'ta-i-yo-u', japanese for 'sun', on the basement's machine. They are gonna be a pain in Rebirth too, I know. At least we learned Fatal Strikes. The Secret Mission for this boss is easier, thankfully. (Friend: LIES.) The Tweedles teach you Burst Artes in the next city, which means we will finally be out of Tutorial Land. (NOTE: The menu patch is glitched inside Heliord's inn. The NPC soldiers have blank text bubbles and the shop, plus non-story related rests are unusable.)

Well, one of Legendia's themes is racism, the other is Humans Are Bastards.

'Fuck off and die'? I didn't know there existed a Mohs card. A little hint?

Dat Chapter Seven, man. Just... CHAPTER SEVEN. So dark.

There isn't but there is (regrettably) an Iria card, hence the "Fuck off and die" comment instead of her name because UGH.

Chapter 12 is worse.

My progress to be exact at the moment for Tales of Xillia 2 is that I am pass chapter ten and am currently grinding again to get to the next chapter, would this be the half way point in the game by now?

I finally know how to battle without getting hit consistently, about time.

Now if only there was a way to better understand the best times to use items, and swapping party members, and skills, and stuff; all seems overwhelming.

Also seem to be more fond of Graces F than Xillia 2.

It has every playable character from Phantasia to Hearts. Exceptions are Tempest (only has Caius and Rubia) and NDX (only Mell and Dio).

Um, why? You can do every secret mission at your leisure at Namcot Island. It was especially made for that piece of crap that is Yeager. I did Gattuso pretty simply, but screw you Luck-Based Mission if Yeager ever does the crappy staggering animation.

Whoever designed Xillia 2 must have taken a blow to the head. Power Charge 2 and Power Charge 3 basically make the game smooth, and you're required to play above Moderate for decent weakness combos. Urge to go back to Hearts R's superior combat rising.

On the bright side, since Ludger bores me to tears, I have decided to make him look as dumb as possible. Xillia 2 has a screenshot function, so take them pics!

Ludge is good with kids.◊

There's not enough room for you!◊

Hats◊ for◊ everybody!◊

Trollface.◊

Ludger may have a rather colourless personality, but he has a surprisingly evil smirk.

Holy crap Ludger has a mini-Sophie hanging off his arm that iS ADORABLE

Just finished chapter eleven of Tales of Xillia 2, I was not expecting it to happen like that and I somehow hate Rideaux even more than I did before. Like seriously, screw rideaux.

Rideaux is a pantomime villain.

Holy shit the mini-Sophie is an accessory for EVERYONE EEEE

Also I might get Xillia 1 soon. Along with (hopefully) Milla's Dhaos outfit and something else if I have the money.

What do you mean you mean by pantomime villain?

Also I am currently up to chapter 12 of tales of xillia and everytime I think the game has made me sad enough it makes me more sadder.

Edit: I didn't want to double post so adding some more information here, I have completed Tales of Xillia 2 and started new game plus where I will try to get everything this time. After watching other videos I found out that you get an item if you have a tales of graces file which I have and yet it doesn't give that message when I do that.

Do any of you guys or gals might know what is going on there?

So, I got my hands on Tales of Innocence and a fan translation patch. I have every intention of sharing my experience as I play. Is there anything I should know about going in?

Spada is the best. Ange is also the best. They are the best.

Apparently, Iria is an awful person, who's a little too heavy on the Tsundere.

Can't say anymore since I ain't ever played the game.
