i'm curious, what exactly did you want that you didn't get?

It's hard to describe - in part because it was like three years ago that I saw this trailer, haha. I think, with all the rumors/info about how Xillia was going to be 'darker and edgier' than previous Tales games*, I expected...a grittier take on the way people treated each other, I suppose. There was this whole implication that Nachtigal was using his people as energy sources and/or as part of machinery experiments and while that's been touched on and plot-relevant in other Tales games I think I walked away expecting this one to feel more struggle-centered.

XILLIA HAS BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS IN IT AND VERY HUMAN ONES and I'd hate to think I sound like I'm complaining because. Absolutely not.

*In a lot of ways, it is darker and edgier. I think I love it so much because you walk away feeling triumphant and good about most choices despite that.

wait for xillia 2

just


wait

PART OF MY REQUIREMENT is that darker-and-edgier does not mean Evil Gets to Win or losing any characters I love a lot.

Shhh shh it's my escape I get to want the fantasy I want

I've heard a few (some intentional, which gets my goat, man) incidental things about X2 and I go around all I DON"T WANT TO KNOW because spoilers are not nice but also because I want to have hope in what it will be, you know? I'm afraid, a little bit, of bad outcomes.

I EXPECT SOMETHING AWESOME NEVERTHELESS.

i'm just in the dark as you are so i cant verify that evil gets to win or anything but all i know is this game will ruin us

i have heard there is a good ending, in a sense, so if anything you'll have that if the actual ending destroys us

[vilya]

answering me with hot schoolboy richard

damn

yeah i heard about the good-ending stuff too. pls good ending also be true ending!

i don't mind being ruined by a tales game though, xillia took a lot of risks and i ended up loving 98% of them even though it was breaking me

[polizei]

i can tell you if its the true ending or not but you said no spoilers so lmk

[vilya]

NO DON'T TELL ME NO SHH

I will wait to be broken in august
