TALES OF XILLIA 2 focuses its story theme around the concept of “choice”, which is also expressed heavily in the game’s overall gameplay mechanics. Throughout Ludger’s journey the player will be able to decide how he reacts to various characters and situations. The outcome of the story will be depending on each of the player’s choices!
The deep “choice” concept also extends within battle system for TALES OF XILLIA 2 by enhancing the TALES OF series’ trademark gameplay. Players will be able to use the “Weapon Swap” during battles while controlling Ludger, allowing him to switch between three main weapons: dual blades, a sledgehammer and dual pistols, allowing him to adapt his fighting-style to his enemies as he rushes across the battlefield. Build on TALES OF XILLIA’s solid battle system, the innovative “Cross Dual Raid Linear Motion Battle System” will let players link to any selectable character in battle to serve as a support character and perform linked Artes against targeted enemies. Each party members have different characteristics and linked Artes, allowing players to strategically decide which characters are linked to whom as various battle situations and foes arise.
TALES OF XILLIA 2 will be available on August 21, 2014 for Australia and New Zealand exclusively for the PlayStation 3 system.
