I really enjoy Xillia's characters and story so far, much more so than Graces f at a similarly early part of the game. Â I think I prefer the overall flow of the latter's combat, though.
As I am now 20 hours in (I just can't stop.... ><) I can confidently say I like Xillia wholly better than Graces f. Even the battle system. I've played all the other Tales games (including the ones not released here) so Graces combat just didn't feel right to me. Of course, that's a personal opinion, although I did really enjoy its combat. Xillia feels more in line with what I've come to expect from Tales, so I'm really happy.Â
And this storyline is blowing me away. It's so much darker than the other Tales games.
Glad I'm not alone in any of this XD
The game is SOOOOOO much better than Graces was, in almost every way. The characters aren't like nails on chalkboard, the story is great and the battle system leads to some interesting set ups. Not to mention being able to free run at no cost again is wonderful.
Played the others tales games too, even imported a few to play with the help of guides xD. RPG with fighting game like mechanics for a battle system!? YES PLEASE.
