Pretty sure because it looks very similar to the symphonia situation.
GameCube exclusive in the west, the Ps2 got a more complete version in Japan and we still ended up getting the PS2 version on ps3 many years later.

Most of the hate on the cast in the West is for Asbel and his never ending "protect" bullshit. The rest of the cast is whatever, though I remember liking Pascal and Malik. Sophie was okay too.
Release a vesperia international version for japan then with english text and voice over so I can import them at least :(
It's the only main Tales game I havent played.
Lmao folks in here saying the Xillia games are bad when the combat is miles ahead of Vesperia.
Xillia 2 is among the best the series has to offer, and Milla Maxwell is probably more interesting as a protagonist than any single character in Vesperia.
Let that cel-shaded shit go. It's never coming back.

I don't really think it's how it looks, more just how absolutely fucking booooring of a snorefest Xillia is. Just... zzzzzzz.
Gaius hype!
Part 2 was great, but only because I knew most the characters from the first game.
But eh?
Ive beaten both. Dunno if I would buy a ps4 version though. Those games are still fresh.

You're a man of culture, I see. Add Destiny 2 (the ps2 one) please.
People slobber all over Vesperia's cel-shaded artstyle and its useless world map in every Tales thread.
The Xillia games aren't boring at all. The breathed new air into the franchise with female characters being made the focal point for both games, which eventually led us to even greater games like Berseria.
And the combat in Xillia 2 was also ace?
Better than Graces F IMO even tho that was great too.
Destiny 2 is one of the most unbalanced games in the series lmao
Asbel was 4th on the last Tales festival character poll they did. He managed to beat Eizen from Berseria!
It's worth noting Leon from Destiny and Yuri from Vesperia are banned from the polls, since they otherwise auto-win.
Sure, why not? Never managed to finish Xillia 2 since my PS3 died.
Probably must be a bundle, though. I can't understand why they would port Xillia 2 and not the first one.

If its a dual pack I would buy it, never played either game. Seems weird to do this but people seem to really love Xillia.
You mean the real Destiny 2 right and not the one on PS1? I haven't played it since it wasn't localized and there's no translation patch iirc
Asbel is the worst MC by far. I actually think he's not fully mentally there, he's that stupid. Can't account for Japan's taste, I guess.
Yeah. It's worth a playthrough but basically it's magic the game, physical attacks are next to useless and so battles boil down to you controlling a tanky character while three mages in the back blast the enemies.
Sadly, I do not own a PlayStation 4. I enjoyed Xillia decently well.
Definitely would like to play it again in higher resolution and such. But not enough to buy a PlayStation 4 for.

I'm interested since it's basically a sequel to Destiny, which I loved as a kid.
Maybe not at the top of the genre, but certainly among the best Tales games.
I would instantly buy the game again and pre-order it if it came to newer platforms I own like Switch or Steam.
I haven't plugged in my PlayStation 3 in a while. And one of the reasons I was considering it, was to rip isos to try out with RPCS3. Two of the first and foremost games I wanted to play was Tales of Graces f and Xillia.
If it came to Steam, that would save me the trouble and desire to.
And while I wouldn't want the game on Switch as much as PC, it least it's a platform I am using currently and have set up.

That's weird. Xillia 1 was pretty good, maybe because it was my first Tales of game since Phantasia on the GBA, but I thought Xillia 2 was awful and the last thing I wanted from an Xillia sequel. I would replay 1, but never 2 unless I was being paid.
Yeah I loved the battle system and protagonist. Also the antagonist and story in general. Only thing I didn't like was the debt system.
I would definitely put Symphonia, Abyss, and Eternia at the top of the genre.
It's a shame that the only way to play it in English is an increasingly expensive PS1 version or a PSP version that may or may not have a game breaking bug in it depending on the UMD.
Liked Xillia 1 a lot. Xillia 2 was a mess, IMO, and barely really functioned as a sequel. It didn't really continue anything from the first- it mostly concerned the two new characters, one of which is a silent progagonist (which they never do with this series) the Xillia 1 cast were pretty much useless baggage, following the new protagonist, and the game could have further explored the very unstable world state the events of 1 left us with, and any number of problems that could have spring from that but instead went on a whole other (very sci fi) tangent with alternate universes and shit.
Having a collected title would be.. nice I guess though.
But seriously Namco...Vesperia please. Still the best looking Tales game ever made. Its clear they put a lot into that game, and the titles that followed were never given quite the same budget for graphical design. Cell shading is so freaking nice and timeless, and I don't know why dev's making anime styled games don't use it more.

All I know is if it is true, I am there day 1! Say what you will about Xillia 2, but I liked its battle system (even though Xillia 1 was better). It's the first "Tales of" news I've heard of since Berseria, so I will be there to buy this if it happens. I would hope Graces f comes to PS4 as well. I do have to wonder about what the hold up is with Vesperia though. That would probably do better than the other games in the West since the 360 exclusive kinda botched its western potential.
The story certainly wasn't. It took some very dark turns and has one of the most downer endings I've seen from a Tales game.
The only way i would buy this is if it was bundled with all the ps3 games, and Vesperia. Make it a Collection of Tales if you will.
He was constantly whining and engaged in an internal monologue. Seemed pretty jaded to me. But again, it's been like 10 years?
Story, cast and combat of Xillia 2 was pretty good, the only down side was the reused assets and the emptiness of the world.
Graces was a super boring because that Asbel, Sophie, Richard friendship bullshit, the only thing good in the game was Cheria and Hubert.

It's funny because Tales of Studio has been using the Symphonia engine for all their 3D titles, just with mild changes with each entry.
I hope the next game takes everything back to the drawing board (UE4 maybe?), the series deserves it.
Cheria is the most insufferable character in Tales series, and that's in a game with fucking Asbel.
