Xillia is good for what it is but Jude is an annoying **** who only cares about Milla.
He's the most embarrassing protag in Tales yet, he has no goals of his own other than getting caught up in Milla's stuff.
He mainly only does what he does because of Milla and pays his childhood friend dust.
I actually loved Jude, definitely a unique character when it comes to the series, he's not your generic hero.
Combat is great, story is ok, but really the worst part is exploration, it's very repetitive and boring, random treasures and big ass maps with a few exceptions, little to no puzzles too
Currently playing the Guided Fate Paradox, loving it
I'm actually got like 80% of Xillia's trophies. I'm just to lazy to try for platinum. I still need to do Milla's side of the story though so I probably do that soon.
Also, I started FFX for like the 4th time. Maybe i'll finish it this time around
Warning: there is a No Point of Return in VIII at the end of Disc 3 that they don't really warn you of. I don't want to spoil soooooo I'll try to be vague. Make sure to save before the fight against Seifer. You'll know when it will be.
You should try to get all the GFs. They are all sorts of awesome and their animations are gorgeous. There's also a lot of random beautiful places - Winhill, the Trabia Tribe, the abandoned Science Facility, Odin's Tower, etc.
I need to check, I know I have one save file that isn't at the point of no return. It' a bit before that. I might replay from there.
I actually didn't mind Jude. I agree with Lulu that he's one of the more unique characters in the series, and his character is much better in the sequel.
Hoping we get some JRPG news at E3. I'd be happy with just Persona 5's release date.
It's in my backlog rn, I'll get into it after i plat The Guided Fate Paradox (AMAZING game btw )
I was kinda fuming a when they announced the localization of the enhanced vita port weeks ago
Did you play Ar Tonelico 1 and 2 ?
I've been feening to replay Ni No Kuni. I adored it the first time (platinumed it) and now that I'm using a new playstation account I kinda want to platinum it again.
