Asking about Tales of xillia (And about the Tales of series)

[TheHeroOfTime]

I'm searching for some gud animu shit in terms of videogames, and when I think in that the first thing that crosses my mind is the Tales of series. So, I was remembering that I obtained Tales of xillia 2 somehow, it's in my game library for some reason. And I was thinking about giving it a chance. I've heard that is famous (Or infamous?) bdue recycling the map of the previous game and stuff like that. It's worthy of my time? Maybe I should search for something better in the same series? Should I stop playing weaboo shit and go to play real men cRPG? Disscuzz.

Guys do not post so fast and so constantly, the forum cannot handle it and could colapse.

Yes.

If you want an anime action RPG that is good and not shit like the Tales of series then try Ys. And if you've already played Ys then might I suggest you replay that instead of playing Tales of.

I've been told that JRPG isn't in shambles like we in this forum thought...

Yeah, give a go to Xillia 2 since you don't have to pay further. If you like it you have Zestiria and Berseria. Also there's Shining Resonance Refrain. Ni no Kuni 2 (requires a good machine and I've heard the combat system sucks). Zanki Zero, coming 2019.

ni no kuni 1 was quite good. stopped playing the sequel after about 2 hours though, absolutely irredeemable combat.

if you want to play a good Tales game then play the early ones, like Tales of Phantasia and Tales of Destiny which are side-view combat (and thus much better). They also have way better stories and characters.

While I do enjoy the earlier Tales Of games like Phantasia or Eternia, I think the 3D ones like Vepseria, Graces F (for combat) are also worth playing very much.

Xillia 2 I wouldn't know, although I'd dare say you should not start at a sequel and try and play one of the more acclaimed Tales Of games to get a better insight. So Phantasia, Symphonia, Vesperia, or even Beseria.

Let me answer this thoughtfully and expansively with extensive detail and analysis:

no

BTW, in case you were curious about current state of emulated Tales games on RPCS3:

- Tales of Xillia 1 = 100% fully playable, can increase resolution, etc.

- Tales of Xillia 2 = haven't tried it yet but I imagine same as first one?

- Tales of Grace f = playable... but the fps limiter is glitched and you have to either play at 30fps and have battles play out at 50% speed (absolutely terrible), or use 60fps and have non-battle movement be at 2x speed (preferable but still weird af); also can't currently increase internal resolution.

- Tales of Vesperia (w/ english fan patch) = playable... and the fps limiter seems to be working fine... but performance is not there yet. On my rig runs at 15 fps.

Dude EDIT (oh not Xillia) Vesperia is coming to PC.
