NBIceman 03/31/20 10:28:40 PM #489:	Tales of Xillia Wrap-Up Heaven smiles upon me because of my good deeds. Xillia is one of the hardest parties to talk about as a general unit, because they often feel kind of disconnected from one another. Xillia 1, for example, has the two different stories that each give more focus to half the party than the other. The biggest uniting factor, to my mind, is the poor dialogue across the two Xillia games. There are exceptions, of course, but for the most part, they dont have the long list of memorable quotes and humorous skits that most Tales games do. The story dialogue is often kind of stilted and most of the characters (especially in X1) dont sound like real people a lot of the time. This makes it hard for characters like Elize and Leia to make up for being pretty story-irrelevant and holds back even some of the better offerings (Alvin, Rowen, and Milla) from ascending even higher. X2, by all accounts, should have been an avenue for the lower half of the cast to climb their way up the ranks, especially with the character episodes. Unfortunately, most of them get shoved far into the background in favor of the main story, and their primary role becomes being awed by how awesome Ludger is. The character episodes certainly help in some cases, but theyre inconsistent, and the best ones went to the members that needed them least. I do like the casts chemistry and, as yall can see, I absolutely love some of the individuals, but all in all, Xillia has a middling Tales cast. `And they were never heard from again...` --- https://imgur.com/UYamul2 Spurs - Yankees - Eagles - Golden Knights <cite>NBIceman posted [p:936567096] in Iceman Ran...
