Tales of, and original values

Players will step into the land of Rieze Maxia, where people live in harmony with “spirits” – creatures that help them use different types of magic. At first glance, this world seems relatively peaceful, but hidden inside is an extremely terrible secret.

Players will take on the role of gentle doctor Jude Mathis, or spirit queen Milla Maxwell, to set out to prevent this disaster, helping the world avoid destruction.

The key point here is that the player can choose “path”: Jude or Milla, and the story can be told from Jude or Milla's perspective similar to NieR: Automata Tells the story of 9S and 2B.

This is the first game series Tales of “testing” this unique storytelling method, and even until now Bandai Namco has… never tried it again.

In fact, choosing this “path” is not as much of a change as the pair 9S and 2B, because most of the time Jude “hangs out” next to Milla (who wouldn't want to), there will only be a few events that will be described differently from Jude/Milla's inner thoughts, and there are also some “holes” in this “path” that will be “compensated” in the other path.

However, the two-line design highlights two different perspectives: with Jude, that is a guy who overcomes difficulties and cares deeply for others, and Milla, a beautiful goddess who starts out arrogant and arrogant, but is gradually “transformed” to become more “human”.

The writer advises you, if you are playing for the first time Tales of Xillia Remastered then choose Jude, because Jude has more time to explore the world with the team, and there are many important story lines directly related to Jude's actions that you cannot grasp because Milla will leave the team for a long time at a key moment. After that, if you still feel “craving” then play Milla to fill the questions Tales of Xillia Remastered leave.

The plot of Tales of Xillia Remastered There are quite a few “steering” phases ready to make the player “turn upside down”, which the writer cannot go too deeply into to avoid spoiling the reader's fun. That said, a strong point of Tales of Xillia Remastered It's a very steady pace of the plot, the drama is intense and intense but just enough not to “overwhelm” the player, and interspersed with it are still light and humorous situations that are “specialties” of the series. Tales of.

Another point Tales of Xillia Remastered very strong, that is character development. You see, the cast of characters of Tales of Xillia Remastered quite diverse in appearance, from Rieze people, spirits, even puppets, to personalities: calm, active, arrogant, lustful for women, etc.

Through the process of exploring the world, and through the famous “skit” system of Tales of, Gradually each character's personality will evolve in ways that are easy for players to sympathize with.

The quality cast of characters and the way Bandai Namco mixes character personalities makes the gaming experience captivating.

In fact, the plot of Tales of Xillia Remastered It's not something too groundbreaking, it's still a “standard” JRPG style with political intrigue, uprisings, and then the world is about to end, but the quality cast of characters and the way Bandai Namco mixes character personalities makes the gaming experience engaging.

In short, the writer feels Tales of Xilliaat the time of its release, raised the bar for storylines Tales of to a new level, and after more than ten years, the remastered version is completely worthy for JRPG plot enthusiasts to experience.

Attractive and engaging combat!

Game series Tales of There is a core combat mechanism called Linear Motion Battle System, and each version is slightly modified and given a name that at first sounds like… some “intercontinental missile” system.

Which is Multi-Line Linear Motion Battle System (ML-LMBS) of Tales of Symphoniawhen the stage first switched from 2D to 3D, or Flex Range Linear Motion Battle System (FR-LMBS) of Tales of the Abysshelps players move freely in the arena without being locked to enemies

So Tales of Xillia Remastered What's there? We have the Dual-Raid Linear Motion Battle System (DR-LMBS). In fact, it can still be considered an action RPG, but DR-LMBS is more RPG than action, because each skill the player uses will consume one Assault Counter point, and each arte will consume Technique Points, so you cannot just “release the button” indiscriminately with attacks, but must practice combos that suit your AC bar.

However, the strongest point of DR-LMBS is Link Mode, when two characters can “link” together and form a fighting pair, like dividing into a squad. Mastering Link Mode is extremely important if you want to fight effectively, because the linked character will support and shield you when there are too many enemies, or combine attacks with you to apply damage to the enemy.

The most important thing is Linked Arte, when you perform 2 artes at the same time of two linked characters, they will turn into a Linked Arte, and if this arte is activated when the Link Gauge is full, the character will enter a “trance” state, release the “release” skill without having to worry about Assault Counter running out, and have the ability to use Mystic Arte.

Indeed DR-LMBS is a huge step forward in improving the series' combat mechanics Tales ofand in more than 40 hours of “plowing” by the writer, performing a Tornado Blade shot leading straight to Tiger Blade Sigma still feels as “high” as the first time.

Tales of Xillia Remastered Possesses a fast, flashy and equally diverse gameplay, promoting players' creativity and experimentation.

Each character has a fairly diverse set of skills and arts, and linking with others will expand this skill set depending on the linked person, so players can freely experiment and research “perfect couples” freely and comfortably, making combat not feel too one-color.

Normally when playing JRPGs, many people will have a habit of pre-identifying 4 usable characters, then only focusing on training them from beginning to end of the game and ignoring the rest. With DR-LMBS, Tales of Xillia Remastered Encourages players to experiment with mechanics, constantly changing formations to deal with monsters with different weaknesses. For example, if a monster's armor is too thick, we have to link up with Alvin because this guy has a great skill at breaking armor, instead of linking up with Leia and “scratching” the whole time.

Therefore, each character will have a unique effect, truly “no one will be left behind”.

In short, Tales of Xillia Remastered Possesses a fast, flashy and equally diverse gameplay, promoting players' creativity and experimentation with different challenges.

Small upgrades

Of course, there are improvements in this revised version.

The first is that the Grade Shop opens right when entering the game instead of being a pure NG+ feature in the original version. With Grade Shop, you can customize the amount of EXP received, Gold received, in general, making gaming much easier for office workers who don't have much time to play games!

As for the graphics, there are not many obvious improvements, but overall, the characters are sharper and more expressive, the lines “seem” to have been upgraded and look high quality.

Next, you will now have the option to listen to the Japanese dub. You see, when the writer played Tales of Xillia For the first time on the PS3, I was forced to “suffer” with the English dub, and that was indeed not an easy experience for those who love Japanese culture. Play Tales of Xillia Remastered Japanese feels like a new world has just been opened.

The game also has some small upgrades such as turning off monster encounters, speeding up running and auto-save (very important), so gamers can experience it with peace of mind.Tales of Xillia Remastered the way they want.

Overall, the characters are sharper and more expressive, the lines “seem” to have been upgraded and look high quality.

Signs of “age”

To compare with other games Tales of It's been so unfair lately, but still Tales of Xillia Remastered is just a remaster of a PS3 game, nothing more, nothing less, and will show signs of obsolescence.

Firstly, the character movements are relatively stiff and not smooth. The attack moves as well as arte look relatively consistent and discrete, not “flowing like clouds and water”. Tales of Arise for example.

The environment is quite limited, as some areas are just straight corridors with nothing worth looking at (like Final Fantasy XIIIit's unclear which developer is coming Square Enix “study poorly” no).

In addition to the plot, the side content and side quests are relatively basic and mainly only bring in resources, without any side story lines installed. These tasks are also “simplified” even more, mainly “fetch quest” (delivering items) that just repeat over and over, easily causing boredom for gamers if they want to complete 100% of the game.
