That's right, at different points in the game, you'll HAVE to pay off a section of your debt to continue playing. The biggest issue with this debt system though, is that it blocks your progress. The amount of money that you owe is so astronomical, that you honestly feel like at some point it'll just go away, and the developers even poke fun at this, by giving you a surprise ending if you manage to somehow pay it all off. Now, if this was just some sort of thing implemented into the game to give you cool rare loot when you pay off a certain amount of debt, then awesome. Without adding spoilers, early on in the game Ludger comes under a great debt, and throughout the game you'll have to pay off that debt. Well, that is, and isn't the case with this title. When you buy a game from Gamestop or wherever you do, that should be the end of the transaction right? You should be able to play the game through without any monetary blocks stopping you from finishing.
TALES OF XILLIA 2 NEW GAME PLUS DIFFERENCES FULL
Speaking of things that hinder the full experience of the game, let's talk about debt. So if all of the lines were recorded for him to speak, and Tales games are generally very character driven games, what was the point in making him so quiet, and making it so that players have to play the game twice to get the full experience? You hear him say his attack names and grunt and all of that during battles, and he'll even occasionally let out a short reply like "yeah" or "all right." Ludger has the ability to speak and what makes it all the much more painful is knowing that when you start New Game Plus, you can buy Ludger's voice using Grade (which is a point system that you gain during your first playthrough) so that when you make a choice for him, he'll actually speak out that choice. The annoying part about this is that he isn't mute in context to the story. He doesn't speak when you choose the words for him to say. Now this is an awesome feature, and it does have its consequences and differences, however this leads to one of the cons I previously mentioned. Often, you'll be presented with a pop up that makes you choose between two things for Ludger to say. Speaking of Ludger, there is something that has to be said about his character. In this case, there are little pop up skits that show up in the bottom left, where party members will talk to each other without you having to press the select button, and these usually go along with important locations in the story. These skits are a great way to deliver information to the player in a way that also develops characters and relationships. One thing that you'll notice is that the game definitely nods to the events in the original game, however much of the back story from that time is shown to the player through various skits that pop up in game. not really? Let's be honest, this is a sequel but isn't something that new players can't step into. The question is: do you have to play the first game in order to understand this title? This franchise has always done its best to carry a unique feel, which separates it from other RPGs. The battle system is very similar to the one in Tales of Xillia. Jude, Milla, Leia, Alvin, and the rest of your Xillia pals are back in this sequel, and you'll also be able to take command of Gaius and Muzet, two characters who were unplayable in the last title, and most likely brought into the party due to high demand by the fans.
Fans of the original will immediately notice that the party from the original game make their re-appearance in this one.
