Tales of Xillia 2011

Is it still worth playing?

Jude Mathis and Milla Maxwell elude government officials after sabotaging a weapon of mass destruction, in this 2011 action role-playing game for the PlayStation 3 that was localized in 2013. It is set in Rieze Maxia, where humans and spirits live in harmony. You can play the story as Milla, a hardened spirit wielder, or as Jude, a pacifist medical student, and each offers a different viewpoint and a few unique scenes, though most of the two campaigns are the same. Characters move freely on the battlefield, and two of them can combine for a special move called a linked arte once a gauge fills. Monster battles are optional because enemies appear on the map. Skits, short animated conversations with voice acting, show the party's relationships. The adventure runs for more than 40 hours. Two points of view on one journey still give a second playthrough a purpose.
