The Xillia 2 guide says the Kitty Dispatch thing actually works off your console clock, so if you wanted to get a certain day's bonus you just have to change the date on your PS3.

Yeah, my cat basically always returns when I turn the game on after not playing for a bit. Honestly, I just have them constantly searching while I'm doing jobs.

Yeah, sometimes I literally forget about them, go and do something else for a bit, and when I return I get the "Your kitty has returned" thing. Found another cat with a Tales Motif, Nataliana is like Luke in that they're both colored after their namesake. Brownie is another one with a strange coloring but I don't know what character its supposed to resemble.

Question: How many times does Alvin betray you in this game, and how many times do you take him back? Seriously a cycle of abuse with that guy. Also do they kill teepo again? I stopped playing the last one when they killed teepo, those bastards. Tales of Xillia was a depressing game.

I'm a bit annoyed with the job system in the game, plenty of jobs I could do really easily (Buy an Earth cape for a certain Phantasia character) yet they're behind Title walls so I can't do them without grinding other missions to get a Bronze Seal or whatever.gannyGrabber posted:Tales of Xillia was a depressing game.

I don't think I'm too low level for this and I'm only on Moderate. Chronos is basically a wall to test if you've A: equipped Magic Guard and B: Understand how to use Magic Guard and Regular Guard. One thing to keep in mind is that Ludgar's super mode fills up while blocking. There's no reason to over-aggress against that fight because playing defensively lets you cycle into super mode really regularly. Cake Attack posted:Post again when you get to the next boss fight. Muzet? I just stepped on her face. She won't use her Mystic Arts if you block all her attacks and the only really dangerous spell she has is her ground-fire one.

Also what are people doing when they activate Chromatus, because I've yet to see any evidence that jumping and spamming Azure Edge isn't the most broken thing. I did 40k against a boss with just under 90k HP doing that. Cake Attack fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Aug 22, 2014 |

I've noticed getting Linked Arte Chains is much easier in this game than it was in X1. Maybe having the generic Link Cannon/Link Pillar/Link Charge artes helps.

Gaius is my surprise favorite party member. He's just the right mix of serious but a little off. The best part is when you talk to him around town and he's like "Just so you know, I'll be observing your every move. Except, uh, not in a creepy stalker way." (paraphrased)

KoB posted:My biggest problem with sequels to RPGs like this is that in the 1st game as Jude I punched dragons to death with my bare hands but now the party is all weak as hell and no one acknowledges them as badasses There's actually a reason for this. In the first game you had a Plot McGuffin that you used to get more powerful (and the post-game bonus dungeon went into more detail about its history.) By the sequel the plot McGuffin has stopped working so everyone is back to Level 1 and using a new plot mcguffin. Likewise, Jude invested all of his massive JRPG stash of money into research.

I would still say the latter's a problem, since nobody seems to know how the party saved the world, though. So I beat the evil Muzet. I guess the party is officially worse than Gaius now, aren't they?

I figure this is as good a place as any to ask about this. In prep for the sequel coming out I thought I'd give the first Xilia a try and, honestly, I'm having some difficulty with it. I just got past the falls (the first time cat tail lady shows up) and it's really not grabbing me. Does the game markedly turn around in the future? Is playing on hard a bad idea?

I've come across many "Character" quests given out by characters for past games. Each of them gives a Sealed *Game Title* item. Sealed Xillia is given to us by Baba himself, who wants a Harpy Edge to trim his beard.

It definitely improves the further you get as the story becomes more involved and the battle system opens up considerably. I'd give it a few more hours before giving up because by most accounts Xillia 2 is even better; would be a shame to miss out. gannyGrabber posted:After the party welcomes back Alvin for the 187108951078th time, morale was at an all-time low.

Are there actually any new areas in the game? Aside from some small ones with Spirius Corp and the train at the very start, I don't think I've seen any new content (area-wise). e; and they re-use the train several times, too

Probably not? The story is 50% expanding on Xillia 1's story and the battle system is almost but not quite exactly the same.

Battle system was fine and the story was a Tales story so whatever. It just felt like a really half assed game to me, for whatever reason. Awful voice acting. Fairly boring world, although the requisite second world was cool if miniscule.
