Haunter12O 03/22/18 12:11:46 AM #18:	629 hours for Star Ocean 4 jesus... 92. Tales of Xillia 2 Original Release: 2014 Developer: Namco Bandai Console: PS3 First of all, I promise I like JRPGs. Honest! In case you're wondering considering they fill up the entire back half of this ranking. Secondly, if you haven't surmised this already with my Tokyo Xanadu write-up, I absolutely abhor recycled assets. Tales of Xillia 2 absolutely excels in that. The original is probably the most average-st Tales game and the sequel attempts to squeeze as much out of that as possible. It's like The After Years for FFIV, only worse. Anyway, everything is the same pretty much. There are maybe three or four new towns, a few new dungeons, and that's it. The entirety of the game includes the same exact areas you visited in the first game. Sometimes the game outright forces you to revisit all these areas, multiple times. I mean, I don't know anyone who had fun exploring those empty squares of land the first game called fields, but if you enjoyed hugging the wall looking for little holes in the wall that lead to treasures, well, this game is for you! Also the game has this annoying gimmick where the only way you can progress is to pay off debt so you can't move to the next chapter without making a certain amount of money. So prepare to grind. Ludger is actually a kinda sorta decent hero, but only because he doesn't talk and it gives him this silent badass type of tone. It's nice that you can switch between battle styles in battle but the gun style seemed useless because there's so much going on in battle. The only time it was useful was during the Volt battle which was an exercise in frustration. Also, the game ruins the characters of Gaius and Muzee. They are now playable characters, and instead of the menacing badasses they were in the original, they're now basically background secondary characters that occasionally quip and their sidequests are terrible. Like, Gaius has to learn how to get along with some street punks. But hey, if you like cats you might like this game. <cite>Haunter12O posted [p:898258711] in Haunter ra...
