Has it seriously been over ten years since the two Xillia games came out in Japan!?!? GOOD GOD, they need to be put on the PS5 already so I can run through these masterpieces again
@@Tjoeb123 this is why TH-cam is so fantastic to me honestly. Just a very expansive time capsule. Can’t say I don’t feel old looking at shit I watched over a decade ago though lol
@@roripantsu i agree with you but Xillia 1 and 2 sold over 1.5 million copies here just with the ps3 Vesperia had a definitive edition release and that one barely sold 600K copies in the 360, im sure it would been a lot more if they released the Ps3 version back then
Yup! Outside of Japan Tales is still a niche series, and that sucks since to me it totally deserves to go toe to toe with the biggest names of JRPGs (FF, DQ, Persona and most recently Xenoblade...) Amazing characters, classic stories, awesome gameplay and kickass music! ❤
I loved my own little irony in this final battle. I was literally fighting the final boss of this game with the final bosses of Xillia 1 in my party (both Gaius and Muzet in their respective outfits as well). With Muzet being my favorite tag character, it felt so good to finish off the final boss with a back-to-back "Event Horizon" and "Final Waltz".
+CrimsonEbonyTears Supposedly i read a rumor that due to time constraints, Gaius and Muzet were going to be playable in Xillia 1, and due to being in a time crunch, Gaius and Muzet were used as final bosses instead...As i said, could be a rumor.
DB Yeah, it's definitely just a rumor. The plot of Xillia 1 was built around Gaius as the well-meaning antagonist and Muzet as the misguided manipulator behind the other curtain. Together, they made the perfect team, each giving the other what they lacked: Muzet granted Gaius the absolute power he needed to wholly protect his kingdom, and Gaius gave Muzet the sense of security of having someone give her purpose (after that @#$% Maxwell abandoned her after having her bloody her hands her entire existence). In Xillia 2, it made perfect sense for both to work with your party, but for Xillia 1, there's no way it could have worked.
***** Even if that was the case, which might make sense in the light of there being two story paths between Milla and Jude, it definitely worked out for the better with them both being enemies against the main party in the final battle. I mean, it definitely could have been pulled off while keeping with the story, but it just worked out better as it turned out. In X2, it definitely made more sense as neither of them desired to destroy mankind to begin with. Against an enemy with such intentions, they would become heroes in their own respects.
I was under-leveled and had to kite the final boss for almost an hour, switching to Chromatus when I had the chance. It took long, but at least I got to hear this the whole time. XD
TheSlammurai Me too xD. Used the other party members to sprint while ludger was following them. Cause then he charges while sprinting.. Did this for 2 hours..
Nothing feels better than seeing that one-off cut in of ludgers face for the final chromatus transformation. Also, 0:45 They really love that guitar riff from Awkward Justice. It's even in "The will that opposes reason" in Berseria.
Add another week to that XD. But seriously, if they'd listen to fans, they'd have to spend lot on anime plus the base game. They're better off focusing budget on their next game. Meanwhile, my heart cries for xillia and berseria anime :'(
I swear it hink back tot his game like every year and marvel at the fact that this didnt come out last year and I really am getting older the music and characters hold up so well though.
yeah i think tales of games are at their best when they are darker, while xillia 2 was kind of a mixed bag gameplay wise the story was pretty much the 2nd best in the franchise, 2nd to tales of the abyss, the other really dark/sad game in the franchise. Tales of is at its best when its tragic. Zestiria looks like it could go either really happy or really sad, on one hand it looks like a focus on a high fantasy setting and beauty in the world but on another hand alot of the trailors show civilians dying, becomming monsters, a full out war breaking out, and to top it off its written by the guy who did write abyss (though the guy was also responsible for eternia, symphonia, vesperia, and hearts as well so really that doesnt mean much)
Nothing beats Abyss, I'd say, but Xillia 2 got pretty close, story-wise. If it wasn't for that damn debt mechanic. I know, I know, you can beat these super monsters to get easy cash but the fact alone that they force something like that upon the player just feels like a cheap story expansion. Plus, I don't know about you guys but when I got to the end of the game, I didn't finish any of the other character's storylines. I was pretty far with most of them but I didn't finish them. Still, nothing beats the awesomeness of Xillia 1, my favorite Tales. Abyss is second and Vesperia 3rd.
Cofageekus My first tales game was Symphonia. Favorite was Vesperia. Awesome story and even better main character. Yuri is epic and Troy Baker did an awesome job as his English VA.
i personally found abyss darker, mainly because of one scene after a significant event that still gets to me for those wondering, there will be spoilers. it's the scene with the little kid after luke fucks akzeriuth up. then there's also the scene on the tartarus after that with everyone yelling at Luke, i don't know what it is with those two scenes for me. i personally liked xillia 2, but i swear the xillia 1 cast (a cast where i only liked alvin during some points of the game.) was extremely out of character, i would've liked it if they focused more on the reize maxia/elympios relations and Exodus, but that's just me, it seems they were more of an excuse to make some of the things in the character episodes happen.
I think there should be a good balance between the "dark" and "light" Tales games, myself. I loved Tales of Graces f quite a lot for its sense of humor and willingness to challenge the usual trope of "good guys and bad guys can never reconcile". You don't have to go dark and edgy to change the formula.
lol it srsly have been one year ? I am finishing zestiria i am in camlan right now so i can say i pretty much enjoy playing zestiria with fantastic characters and even better music. Super hard battles on chaos mode and 120 hours played. Still gotta do some sidequest but i am getting my ass kicked so i will level up a little till i will reach last boss tales are amazing and yeah new tales is comming soon so maybe one more year ? :D cant wait :D
+BlindRob Xillia is the best Tales for me ... zestria bad camera in multiplayer u can only play alone and u know playing tales games alone is boring ... Tales of xillia 1-2 is the best for miltiplayer
+BlindRob Surprisingly... Me too. I didn't even enjoy the game that much when playing it, but when I look back? God did I love the characters in Xillia 2.
***** Bad ending best ending. My only regret is that it wasn't in the last chapter... If they had done it AFTER all the character episodes, they could've added bonus scenes for each kill or something like that, it could have been awesome.
+nicosisX can't accept that ending. Ludger is powerfull. But wipe out Gaius, the lord of spirits(Mila), Muzet, and the rest of the cast ALONE? I know Victor did it... but still...
Hearing this is making me have flashbacks of Bisley starting his Giant Swing mystic arte and teleporting to the opposite end of the battlefield to sucker punch Elize in the stomach...
10 years. It's been 10 years (ans several months) since I beat this gem of a game ! All I ask now is a remaster for Xillia 1 and 2 so I can experience them once more..! I love these games so so much ! ❤
my favorite tales even though story kinda all over the place, the cast are the best in any tales games ever. Ludger and Elle relationship is beautiful.
Meh, I thought the first one was much better. I like the way Ludger plays in battle, and the opening/this version kick ass. But it felt a lot more padded and recycled than I was hoping for. Still a great game, but Xillia 1 is my favorite entry besides Abyss, so maybe it was my own expectations that disappointed me a bit 🤷♂️.
God I love this song. I'm still playing through the game, but I do like listening to the ost of the games I buy. I honestly can't for the final fight just so I can listen to this theme!
Saving the world/s is honestly too large of a scale for humans to truly understand, but sacrificing all to save one's daughter, that's something most can sympathize with
i went with the option where ludger lived though. it felt like a better ending over him just dying. at least if he lives, he will eventually have elle in his own world and be a proper father. no time shenanigans ruining their lives. a nice, happy family
He's the definition of a hero in my books. A man ready to fight with every ounce of strength in his body and soul, for the sake of his one and only daughter to give her a better future. A bonafide badass dad if I say so.
+zenith But the elle they know and loved will have died. A father sacrificing himself for his daughter is better then a father sacrificing his daughter for himself is better to me. If Ludger sacrifices himself, at least hopefully he will go to where fractured Milla is T.T
2012....goddamn it doesnt even feel like its been that long buts its almost been 8 years since Xillia 2 came out. TIME IF YOU COULD SLOW DOWN THAT WOULD BE GREAT
Oh, you are gonna LOVE HIM SO MUCH. Especially twin sword mode if you like speedy character and later on, he could massacre with TONS OF COMBOS potential.
"Ludger!!" "Elle!!!!!" "Curse you two!" *A pillar of brilliant, luminous light engulfs both Ludger and Elle as their hands interlocked, nullifying the fireball as Bisley rushed forth, throwing a right hook as his attack was stopped in its' tracks, the armored man being blasted back, grunting as he skidded across the ground. The light faded away as Bisley looked on, revealing an armored Ludger with a fully matured Chromatus-Stage 4, holding Elle in his left arm. If It's For You begins to play as Bisley speaks.* "So, you made a pact with the watch itself." *Ludger puts Elle down, the young child stepping away from the two combatants as Ludger stepped forth, remaining silent as Bisley clashed his fists together.* "This should be interesting." *Fight ensues.*
Tjoeb123 A. by kick they mean "for the feeling/effect to "kick in" usually referenced in alcohol or perhaps an ability proc in a game. And 2. to your not seeing the pattern thing a few months before your comment here - it's the vocal line that was used as the basis of this. sorry for the Necro lol
I really liked this game also, I did everything in Xillia 1-2, even got the optional skins which work really good except very few cutscenes, like Ludger making the Tomato soup or whatever it really was in Japanese. Been replaying Vesperia for fun since I don't have any tasks.
All of the Sonic games (Adventure onwards, except for Heroes, the handheld titles, and Generations) did that. The only JRPGs I know of that do it are Wild ARMs 2, 4, and 5, and...well, this.
Tales of Innocence R also did this, although the final boss just used the regular version of the original DS game's opening song, rather than a remixed version.
Xillia 2 for me in the peak of Tales games. Ever since Zestria it feels like the games have lost a shine they once had. EVen Arise, while good just felt like it was missing something. The characters are always great, but the gameplay the music the setting and atmosphere ever since Zestria have felt like they've all been missing something. I would kill to have the Xillia franchised ported to PC someday.
I thought Arise was definitely a fun game, best one for me since Xillia 2 (my favorite). But what I think was truly a missed opportunity to make Arise really pop was the lack of multiplayer. I always found Tales games fun with other people, Vesperia, Graces, and Berseria were especially good for it. I understand they want to mix things up and couldn't make the combat system work for more than one player, but that took a lot of the wind out of my sails. Not to mention, I feel like in Arise, some characters get significantly more growth than others. Plus making Law the punching bag for 90% of jokes got pretty boring really quick..
@@NightWing1243 I semi-agree with this. I think Berseria is better than Arise in terms of character and overall story I think. I'm fine with the them mixing things up, Arise gameplay was the best we've got since Xillia 2. But the characters felt just bland and very one dimensional, and I agree some were devloped way more than others. My biggest gripes with the game come after the "mid-point" reveal. Plus the Final Boss before the "True" Final Boss just felt so empy of build up, and the last act really just does not do it for me personally. I always (albeit unfairly maybe) compare newer Tales of games to my golden standard and favourite Vesperia. Vesperia's characters were for the most part amazing, the story was incredible and the build up to the last dungeon was amazing. Not to mention the amount of post game Vesperia had in the PS3 version. Arise was good, it was a solid game but it just lost me at points in terms of interesting story beats and world building. Perhaps since I've gotten older I'm more worn out and awa\are of the classic anime tropes and cliches and only look at Vesperia with rose tinted glasses, but Zestria through to Arise just really don;t measure up to previous games like Vesperia, Xillia 1 and 2, Abyss and Symphonia.
I always like it when games use a different version of the opening theme/main theme as the final boss music. I know there's quite a few games that did it, but right off the bat aside from this I can think of some Sonic games that did the same. So goooood. Do want Xillia 2 in the west right about, oh, now! xD
just beat this game. had to go through the final boss fight 3-5 times to get the true ending. it sucks either ludger dies or elle dies. I hate it so much. what makes it worse is that if ludger dies everyone's dream comes true. I wish a xillia 3 would come out but it will probably wont be as good as 2 or 1. all im going to say is this game was worth the 30 dollars and 50 hours of gameplay
Then there's the fact that you had to kill Julius TWICE to get to Canaan, which was really sad for me, and the fact that he hummed the song even at the very end was just too much :(
+RCfan234 It fits with the overarching theme of Xillia 2 (and to a lesser extent, the underlying theme of Xillia 1): sometimes there IS no perfect solution. Sometimes you have to choose between two bad choices, and the one you pick will simply leave you feeling like the other must have been the correct one despite everything good that came of the one you made.
Tales of Xillia 2 was phenomenal Game from beginning to end, I enjoyed every moment of it, but my one gripe would be unlocking the ending where I payed off my entire debt because it pretty much went down to me playing poker and losing my max bet on high or low for 2 days.
Am I the only one where sometimes the game removes the cancel button and prevents me from paying later on? As if the game is like "F*uck you! Pay me now!" an I'm like "B*tch if paying my dept is not the current objective then I'll pay later! That Boss is kicking my ass and forcing me to burn through my jelly and revival potion supplies!"
0.0 I actually loved the debt theme. Towards the end, it's insanely easy to pay back. I just played yesterday and finished up from 10,000,000 gald to the last 100 in a matter of... I think 3 hours? Leveled up a ton too. ^_^" Maybe I'm just different, but I didn't mind the debt.
André-Mathieux Gervais If you have so much over the next payment amount, *Like she says in the beginning of the game* the bank will take something to keep you from spending the money you should be using to pay your debt. You can't cancel out of it, but you can always pay 1 gald. Just expect her to be calling back the instant you get any gald.
Why won't they bring these awesome games, like, everywhere!!! I can't wait for Xillia to come out in North America. But this theme is so freaking awesome, I can't wait for this game to come either!
First time getting to the boss of the game, under leveled no more life bottles, then song plays only have Ludger and Guise to duo final boss on hard mode...6 tries later of epic'ness later I WON without power ranger finisher mode.
Has it seriously been over ten years since the two Xillia games came out in Japan!?!? GOOD GOD, they need to be put on the PS5 already so I can run through these masterpieces again
More importantly, it's been 10 years since I uploaded this.

The light faded away as Bisley looked on, revealing an armored Ludger with a fully matured Chromatus-Stage 4, holding Elle in his left arm. If It's For You begins to play as Bisley speaks.*
"So, you made a pact with the watch itself."
*Ludger puts Elle down, the young child stepping away from the two combatants as Ludger stepped forth, remaining silent as Bisley clashed his fists together.*
"This should be interesting."
*Fight ensues.*
Dude that scene was so good
While reading that i replayed it in my head
This was a nice song to use in the mystic arte exhibition video
I have not had song kick me so hard when it opens!
Um..."kick"?
Tjoeb123 A. by kick they mean "for the feeling/effect to "kick in" usually referenced in alcohol or perhaps an ability proc in a game.
And 2. to your not seeing the pattern thing a few months before your comment here - it's the vocal line that was used as the basis of this. sorry for the Necro lol
Pummeling the last boss without having to worry about his HP for that seemingly five minutes!! God that was epic!!
OMG... That's freaking amazing. This song's so epic *-*
Just one of the best game of the tale series.
I really liked this game also, I did everything in Xillia 1-2, even got the optional skins which work really good except very few cutscenes, like Ludger making the Tomato soup or whatever it really was in Japanese. Been replaying Vesperia for fun since I don't have any tasks.
better than hopes and dreams
FInally someone who thinks right.
Es muy epico cuando ludger obtiene el cromatus nivel 4 mi personaje favorito de tales of siempre recordaré a ludger y Julius
Epicidad en su maximo esplendor.
This is epically catchy
Bassai Zan, AYAMI! Matter Destruct!! KEIGA! SOUJIN RANBU!!
This game is said to be released this year, can't wait to witness the full experience.
All of the Sonic games (Adventure onwards, except for Heroes, the handheld titles, and Generations) did that.
The only JRPGs I know of that do it are Wild ARMs 2, 4, and 5, and...well, this.
I love this as much as I love the opening. I am still working on the game. Trying to knock off my debt and find all the cats.

ETERNAL WALTZ!!!!!
Evan Midoriya yes
テイルズシリーズで一番好きエクシリア2
ただ一人、君のためなら
Remember, this boss music is for ludger not for bisley
Tales of Innocence R also did this, although the final boss just used the regular version of the original DS game's opening song, rather than a remixed version.
間違いなく
テイルズシリーズでトップクラスの
神曲だな
EPIC
Im sad that this song isnt available on spotify :’) maybe cuz its a copyright of ayumi hamasaki’s song 4 u
みんなで決めるゲーム音楽ベスト100、１位になったことないのが不思議でならない
Xillia 2 for me in the peak of Tales games. Ever since Zestria it feels like the games have lost a shine they once had. EVen Arise, while good just felt like it was missing something. The characters are always great, but the gameplay the music the setting and atmosphere ever since Zestria have felt like they've all been missing something. I would kill to have the Xillia franchised ported to PC someday.
I thought Arise was definitely a fun game, best one for me since Xillia 2 (my favorite). But what I think was truly a missed opportunity to make Arise really pop was the lack of multiplayer. I always found Tales games fun with other people, Vesperia, Graces, and Berseria were especially good for it.
I understand they want to mix things up and couldn't make the combat system work for more than one player, but that took a lot of the wind out of my sails.
Not to mention, I feel like in Arise, some characters get significantly more growth than others. Plus making Law the punching bag for 90% of jokes got pretty boring really quick..
@@NightWing1243 I semi-agree with this. I think Berseria is better than Arise in terms of character and overall story I think.
I'm fine with the them mixing things up, Arise gameplay was the best we've got since Xillia 2. But the characters felt just bland and very one dimensional, and I agree some were devloped way more than others.
My biggest gripes with the game come after the "mid-point" reveal. Plus the Final Boss before the "True" Final Boss just felt so empy of build up, and the last act really just does not do it for me personally.
I always (albeit unfairly maybe) compare newer Tales of games to my golden standard and favourite Vesperia. Vesperia's characters were for the most part amazing, the story was incredible and the build up to the last dungeon was amazing. Not to mention the amount of post game Vesperia had in the PS3 version.
Arise was good, it was a solid game but it just lost me at points in terms of interesting story beats and world building. Perhaps since I've gotten older I'm more worn out and awa\are of the classic anime tropes and cliches and only look at Vesperia with rose tinted glasses, but Zestria through to Arise just really don;t measure up to previous games like Vesperia, Xillia 1 and 2, Abyss and Symphonia.
This song is so addictive! XD
aaaaAAAAAAAAAAGH
KEIGA..! SOOOUJINRANBU!
EEETERNAAAL WALTZ!
I know! I'm really excited for Symphonia Chronicles. I'm not done with Xillia yet, so I'm not sure how excited I am for the second one.
Keiga Soujinranbu !
This is actually the theme for the second phase of the final boss fight.
The first phase theme is "Following one's own purpose".
Chronos sucked as a final boss, thankfully Bisley was a better choice for final boss.
This sounds in my mind when i have to finish my classroom homeworks xd
setting this as my ringtone cause i loved the game ;-)
I always like it when games use a different version of the opening theme/main theme as the final boss music. I know there's quite a few games that did it, but right off the bat aside from this I can think of some Sonic games that did the same.
So goooood. Do want Xillia 2 in the west right about, oh, now! xD
just beat this game. had to go through the final boss fight 3-5 times to get the true ending. it sucks either ludger dies or elle dies. I hate it so much. what makes it worse is that if ludger dies everyone's dream comes true. I wish a xillia 3 would come out but it will probably wont be as good as 2 or 1. all im going to say is this game was worth the 30 dollars and 50 hours of gameplay
Then there's the fact that you had to kill Julius TWICE to get to Canaan, which was really sad for me, and the fact that he hummed the song even at the very end was just too much :(
+RCfan234 It fits with the overarching theme of Xillia 2 (and to a lesser extent, the underlying theme of Xillia 1): sometimes there IS no perfect solution. Sometimes you have to choose between two bad choices, and the one you pick will simply leave you feeling like the other must have been the correct one despite everything good that came of the one you made.
Tales of Xillia 2 was phenomenal Game from beginning to end, I enjoyed every moment of it, but my one gripe would be unlocking the ending where I payed off my entire debt because it pretty much went down to me playing poker and losing my max bet on high or low for 2 days.
Am I the only one where sometimes the game removes the cancel button and prevents me from paying later on? As if the game is like "F*uck you! Pay me now!" an I'm like "B*tch if paying my dept is not the current objective then I'll pay later! That Boss is kicking my ass and forcing me to burn through my jelly and revival potion supplies!"
You are not the only one, everytime that happens I just pay 1 gals each time and say " You'll get a dollar if you behave" she never got the dollar
0.0 I actually loved the debt theme. Towards the end, it's insanely easy to pay back. I just played yesterday and finished up from 10,000,000 gald to the last 100 in a matter of... I think 3 hours? Leveled up a ton too. ^_^" Maybe I'm just different, but I didn't mind the debt.
André-Mathieux Gervais
If you have so much over the next payment amount, *Like she says in the beginning of the game* the bank will take something to keep you from spending the money you should be using to pay your debt. You can't cancel out of it, but you can always pay 1 gald. Just expect her to be calling back the instant you get any gald.
***** agreed--I actually liked it because it gave me an excuse to explore and do random stuff
Why won't they bring these awesome games, like, everywhere!!! I can't wait for Xillia to come out in North America. But this theme is so freaking awesome, I can't wait for this game to come either!
this game has done something that has never happend for me in a ame made me cry 3 the ,most befor was 1 time
Impressive. Better then the first Xillia's final boss them, for sure.
Damn has it really been 8 years since the tales of series produced an emotionally moving game SMH
Dude.... BERSERIA????
@@AsAs-eu4rg
Berseria is an acquired taste. i thought it was good, but not as amazing as some people make it up to be.
Tales of Xillia 2 and Symphonia Chronicles HD was confirmed to the States next yr.
2021 and still here
great song
Tales of best series of game with kingdom heart
Because it was announced a few weeks before X1's release.
Xillia Chronicles when?
I just found out today Judith has a version 2 of her mystic art and I gave it a whirl!
This is good
First time getting to the boss of the game, under leveled no more life bottles, then song plays only have Ludger and Guise to duo final boss on hard mode...6 tries later of epic'ness later I WON without power ranger finisher mode.
BadAss!
Symphonia used its opening song as well (Japan GC and PS2 versions only)
