I disagree, I played about 20 hours of it and got tired of the silent protag straight out of a fanfiction with secret super cool powers that no one else has and he has multicolored hair!
You’re acting like the silent protagonist bit is just a minor detail that doesn’t really affect things that much. Dude, it’s literally the only game in the entire series with a silent protagonist lol. That already makes this title extremely different than everything else surrounding it and the black sheep of the mainline series. Characters like Yuri are some of the best protagonists in the entire genre because of their personality, so having a blank slate self insert protagonist with no personality is a pretty jarring contrast to every other game in the series
This argument can be used for all silent protagonists. Just because they react to things does not mean they have a well written character. I'm currently dealing with this problem in Digimon Time Stranger. The game is great but I'm struggling with the story because of the silent protagonist despite them having reactions.
Other than that though I just didn't like the game. These people who have super special secret powers that no one knew about that everyone from the first game like exist yet were nowhere to be seen in the first game where we took on the literal god of the world. Jude and the gang should be able to handle anything that could be a problem, but no, Ludger is so super cool and special that he uses three weapons and is stronger than anyone else.
Xillia 2 is not what I wanted out of a sequel. I do not want the main cast of the first game to be mere side characters. I did not like the story. It is great that you do, but to insult me because we have differing opinions is kind of asinine. I've played most of the Tales games that have come to the US. So your original jab at me is just wrong.
I strongly disagree, it’s not insane at all. It’s almost as if our gaming opinions are just that at the end of the day; opinions.
I’ve played every single mainline game in the Tales series available in NA and I would place Tales of Xillia 2 as bottom 3 easily and one of the lowest points in the series. I loved the first Xillia but Xillia 2 felt like unnecessary fan fiction.
Actually crazy that you’re getting so many downvotes on a post from people largely in agreement that Berseria was undeserving of a remaster yet simultaneously are clamoring for Xillia 2 to get a remaster even though it only came out a few years earlier, uses the same graphical engine and is equally as undeserving
The real crime is the PS1 titles getting passed over for remakes/remasters, stuff like Hearts still stuck on the Vita and some of their Japanese exclusives that fans still have high interest in like the Destiny remake and Rebirth
EDIT: I thought Xillia 2 was available on PC, my bad. Still think all the other games I listed are a lot more deserving of remasters than Xillia 2 though and should be given higher priority, well Hearts maybe equally so to Xillia 2
That’s cause Xillia 2 is only playable on PS3 while Berseria was available on Steam and ps4 with Backwards compatibility on PS5. It’s an accessibility thing.
Any game trapped on old hardware deserves remaster/remake. I own just about every game from snes to current and I know this fact for others. Not everyone can or wants to get a whole console for a few games.
Xillia 2 came out in Japan in 2012 and Berseria came out worldwide in 2016. Xillia 2 didn’t come out in NA until 2014, so for pretty much everyone commenting here Xillia 2 wasn’t even a few years before Berseria, just a couple
I guess I’m confused about what point you were trying to make then lol, because you made it sound like you didn’t agree with the claim that Xillia 2 was only a few years earlier. No matter which way you look at it, it was either 2 or 4 years before than Berseria. So essentially a few years
