Product Information

The long-running Tales RPG series continues with a new protagonist and a darker story where two worlds struggle to coexist in Tales of Xillia 2. Set one year after the original game, when the worlds of Rieze Maxia and Elympios were united, players take control of Ludger Kresnik, a young chef from Elympios who lives with his older brother Julius. When a hijacked train crashes and Julius is blamed, Ludger finds himself in the company of an eight-year-old girl named Elle Marta, and together the duo head for the Land of Canaan to honor Elle's father's wishes. The game action finds players exploring 3D environments and confronting enemies to trigger real-time combat. There are nine different characters to bring into battle, though parties only consist of four, and gamers only control one directly. Ludger can switch between dual blades, dual guns, or a sledgehammer at any time during battles, he can link up with other party members to execute team attacks, and he can also transform into a supremely powerful form and unleash extended combos. Gamers earn experience and level up their stats through battles, they can unlock a variety of skills using the special Lilium Orb, and animated skits periodically provide more insight into the characters' personalities. Players can also choose how they want Ludger to react to certain situations, and their decisions can affect relationships, and the very lives of those around him. Gamers will also be able to take on side chapters starring Jude, Milla, and other characters from the original Tales of Xillia. This Collector's Edition comes in special packaging and includes the full game, a Ludger figurine, a replica of Elle's pocket watch, a plushie charm of Rollo the cat, an art book, a CD soundtrack, and DLC offering classic costumes from the Tales series.
