Tales of xillia is the greatest jrpg from this gen

Just watch some videos on it. That one main character chick has a really bad English voice over.

finalfantasy94

Yeah, Milla's VA is terrible. The other VA's are all fairly solid.

I just saw some footage. Whats wrong with her voice exacly? Sounds just fine to me. 

The thing what those who havent played the game dont understand is that Milla is a ( Maybe spoilers? ) spirit in the form of a human, a very mature legendary spirit that many humans have only heard about in legends, she dosent even know how to eat food or sleep so her voice fits her perfectly because it cant be too cute and it cant be too old, i think what many were expecting is a cute girls voice but that wouldnt have worked on Mila.

To an extent, I agree, and I stated something similar a second ago. BTW, spoilers.

That being said, she lacks any sort of inflection for the most part. Even for somebody in her position, a 100% monotonous voice isn't exactly a stellar choice.

Not really spoilers if you ask me because Mila will explain who she is the moment she shows up which is like 20 minutes or so into the game.

im pretty sure the more you play the game the more you will notice how smart she gets ( she's already very smart but in a learning process) and the more she knows the more her voice will kind of change if that makes sense lol.

overall im 5 hours into the game and loving it! amazing so far

They kinda are, for people who have yet to play the game. 

It hasn't changed all that much in the 8 or so hours i've played the game for.

No she dosent, her voice fits the character very well due to her personality.

[QUOTE="SonicNextGen2"][QUOTE="bbkkristian"]Tales of Xillia just got really good. I'm about half way though the game.finalfantasy94

really? TBH grace got better the more it went on. The start was really really slow but after kid arc it just kept getting better.

I'm playing it now. Well I've changed channel on my monitor to use these forums (PS3 can't even multi-task lols) but it's a pretty good game. As usual in most JRPGs I play though, I'm finding the dialogue is so laughably cliche and childish. Why do the characters need to keep saying sorry and thank you all the time too? That little Teepo doll is annoying as hell at times too. It's my first Tales game. I've tried Graces on the Wii using Dolphin last week but it's in Japanese so I can't understand a word of it. I'll probably rent Graces F next so I can give it a go. I hear combat is better in that game but the story is crap. To be honest I rarely like JRPG stories and end up renting them for the gameplay.

This is the first time i play a tales game and to my surprise i like it.

I am about 25 hours in and really enjoying it so far.

Game is really good.
Love playing as Rowen.

Am I the only one who wants  to punch Teepo in the face, tho ?
That thing is beyond annoying.

And are you up to leia yet? she is downright amazing

With her being in your party, it makes the game 100x more enjoyable

Well i'm only 21 hours in still up to chapter 2 :P

I like to muck around and overtrain though, even though i'm playing on easy, so i don't really need too :)

I'm playing on moderate (one below hard) and I'm just wrecking things.

Well, i only just managed to get through graces f on easy, guess i didn't realise, they toned down the difficulty on this

It is very easy though, most battles only last 3-4 seconds :P

And have you got any costumes or clothing attachments? even though the dlc is kind off a rip off, some off them are soo awsum

http://www.otakustudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/dlcchartxillia.jpg

I'm enjoying the game so far. I just got Rowen in my party and I'm enjoying the cast a lot more than graces f. The combat is also pretty fun. Alvin is awesome. :oops:

I tried downloading those free costumes you can get.
But they don't work for me :(

They're installed but they don't show up on the equipment menu. Kind of a bummer.

OMG SAGEM! go to items, and go to the very far right hand corner, and you can unlock the dlc! then you can equipt them afterwards :P

Most jrpg's start out boring, especially ni no kuni

It was even a chore for me to play, but it seriously got much better afterwards

No probs :) i'm pretty much using the free dlc on my characters too :) except i have elly in a maid outfit with a little hat :3

SOooo cute!

I really dislike Milla's standard outfit, hence why I want the free DLC :P

[QUOTE="Wickerman777"]

Never played that. But I LOVED Lost Odyssey. Most underated game of this gen imo. That there's never going to be a sequel is criminal.

Sweenix

Cant believe i haven't played that game, and the reason why it never got a sequel, was due to it's horrible sales, jrpg's never sold well on the xbox

to be honest I enjoyed Blue Dragon much more even tho it was rated much lower than LO and got no praise.

If you guys like the character designs in this game, and you own a Wii or PS2, go buy Sakura Wars So Long My Love, one of the funnest games I've ever played and the guy who did the character's design and other designs for the game (Kosuke Fujishima) did the same for that series. Oh, and be sure to get Tales of Xillia 2 if you like this or even thought it was mediocre, Xillia 2 is like 6 times better than Xillia.SonicNextGen2

I was looking up sakura wars but im not a fan of that battle system.

[QUOTE="Sweenix"]

[QUOTE="Xaero_Gravity"] Because it's flatout boring. I don't care how good the game supposedly gets later on, the fact that it's a major chore to get through in the early portion is ridiculous. It desperately needs better pacing.Xaero_Gravity

No and I dislike the character designs.

I finished it yesterday. Enjoyable game though like I said before and as is the case with most JRPGs I play, I disliked a lot of the dialogue and the story. The writers seemed to try excessively hard to keep nailing into your head that some of the characters are just awwww sooooo cute! Then there's the constant philosophical life lessons they give each other. I also noticed a very large number of monsters were recoloured for different areas many many times. The end of the game seemed to start dragging on a bit too and I lost interest and started skipping some of the more cringeworthy dialogue. Another thing I noticed was some of the dungeons were poorly done. They were very boring to look at and had a lot of pieced together square block cooridors and rooms.

I'll probably rent Graces F next. I read the story is crap in that but the gameplay is excellent so that's more of what I look for in a JRPG.

I've started playing Xillia and just arrived a Kijara seafall and I don't think I can continue for 60 hrs of doing the same battles over and over again I might pack it in

Maybe its just because I've been playing Mario & luigi Dream Team and had a blast with its awesome gameplay

I'm absolutely loving it, and am not finding it boring early on at all. The scenery is beautiful and the music is fantastic (outside of battle). Thankfully this game is more similar to Vesperia than Graces so far.
