So I stopped playing the first game around 40 hours in, then I saw this trailer and decided to go back to the first game, but I was at the endgame (or saw a prompt that made it Seem like the endgame) and I had No Clue what was going on story-wise.

Started a new game with the other character and I just today caught up to my old game!

The first game is Charming as Fuck, here's hoping the sequel is too.

I really need to get around to doing my 2nd run through Xillia with Milla. Ugh, not enough hours in the day for all these games...

During my time spent with Tales of Xillia I experienced a lot of frame rate/slow down issues in both random encounters, and the higher enemy count boss battles. It was playable, but it certainly didn't feel good at times. I really hope the sequel doesn't have similar issues. It would be disappointing.

@bocam: To be fair, all of the Tales games (especially of recent) are rather generic to a fair degree. But Zestiria looks to build on the Graces F combat, which I much preferred over Xillia's. It's the one thing that pulled me through the 80 hours I musta spent in that game's main story; didn't complete the epilogue, though.

This trailer was incomprehensible garbage, but I'm sure the game will be fine.

Meh. I'd rather start seeing a little more of Zestiria instead at this point, but I guess that won't happen until Xillia 2's western release.

Just got platinum in the first one a few days ago. Can't wait for this, the trailer looks fantastic.

Is that a different voice actor for Milla?
