- Give 3 in-between A-Artes for everyone, mainly because of Sophie (Reaper's Toll, Beast and Deadly Force). Asbel has two (Demon Fist and Icedragon Flurry), Cheria has 1 (Soul Brigade), Hubert has 1 (Vital Flair), Pascal has 1 (Flux Form), but Malik and Richard have none. So yeah, equal treatment. |
Actually, Richard has two: Moonlight Circle and Double Moon. |
Oh... you're right...
I rarely used Richard, so guess that slipped my mind...

Ahh, I finally realized what is lacking with Graces. Yeah, not a lot of 'story' battles that are memorable. Every boss battle is just that, a boss battle, a battle that you have to beat just to advance the game.
The spar against Hubert, Malik and Sophie are okay, but somehow lacks certain emotional impact that made it memorable, maybe because it's not mandatory(iirc) and just appear out of nowhere. As much as I love brother fights, it was just kinda meh. Uhh Cheria vs Pascal is very random too. Graces had a very great battle system for solo fights too, with all the flash dodge mechanics (dunno the specific term) and whatnot, it's a shame that it's not properly utilized to bring (for the lack of better vocabulary) epicness in some boss battles.
I like that Richard vs Lambda idea, although it's not very feasible in term of storyline I think? Considering that Richard bonded pretty hard with Lambda that lead to that battle in the first place.
Now, Asbel solo against Lambda after the final battle would be pretty great, just so he can shower Lambda more with 'human are awesome' speech and boost up his main character status. Better yet, swap Lambda's voice actor with Toshiyuki Morikawa.
...okay sorry. |

Good thing you added the sorry. That was a vile suggestion. Shigeru Nakahara was a great voice for Lambda, because he's Android 17 and Usagi Yojimbo, and you shouldn't mess with either. XD

I agree. Also, I think a solo Asbel vs. Richard battle would have been nice.

Yeah... now that you mention it, we don't have a good mandatory duel between Asbel and another character where you need to win to advance.
The only duel we got was Asbel vs Hubert... and you lose it anyway.
Asbel vs Richard would have been ideal.

Isn't that the way it should always be? Reward the player for actually making use of the systems available? I think that's the kind of stuff Tales needs much more of, the weakness system in Xillia 2 (as described above) fits that mold as well. |

Give us Xillia 2 right away so we don't have to wait 2 years like Xill1 especially because I heard the sequel is better (despite ridiculous debt system and recycled content).

get rid of the slowdown in battles.
seriously, xillia 1 starts chugging like thomas the tank engine if 5 or more enemies get on screen and it's awful.

Change the way Ludger's voice works for NG+. I want to see him actually speaking, not just reading the lines to himself in his head.
Also, make non-town environments more interesting. Add puzzles to dungeons.

Gaius playable in Xillia 1 even if it's temporary.
Costumes for EVERYTHING in Xillia 1 BESIDES DLC.
Xillia 2 Ludger is really the only viable character to use : (
