Though with all that good, I find it kind of odd that the game basically made Ludger a mute, with only a few lines spoken randomly throughout. The game sees a return of so many familiar faces from the original and let’s players who enjoyed the first game find answers to the questions of what happened to Jude Mathias following the events of the first, or where is Alvin now? Not only is the returning cast strong, but added characters into the story, such as Ludger and Elle, are equally as strong. It’s nice to see so much attention paid to each character, especially since they are all rather strong characters, but it does detract a bit from the main experience. Not only is there the main campaign, but also side stories for each individual character in your party. There is a lot going on story-wise with Tales of Xillia 2. Not helping the matter are terrorist actions that look to pull both sides back into a war and is right in the middle of our main characters and their quest. The game takes place a year following the events of the first, which saw a long standing divide between Rieze Maxia and Elympios be dispelled, though that hasn’t stopped hatred from both sides for each other. Along the way he meets up with a girl named Elle Marta and from there of course, an adventure ensues. Tales of Xillia 2 puts players into the snug shoes of Ludger Kresnick, a young man trying to follow in his brother’s footsteps and become an agent of the Spirius Corporation.
In fact, one might think of this as an expansion and sometimes that can be off-putting, but not so in this case. It’s not just the name that the second game borrows, but also the same locations and characters from the original, with a few twists and turns. However, after the critical success that was Tales of Xillia, Bandai Namco decided to buck the trend and release a direct sequel, aptly titled Tales of Xillia 2. Opting more time than not to just do standalone games.

Like the Final Fantasy series used to be, the Tales of series has been one that has not had direct sequels very often.
