omfg I am so sick of reading opinions on tales of xillia so I'll spout some myself just to let off some steam! XD
"leia is a useless character, she has no reason at all to join the party"
dafuq?
if you say that then you must also admit that the same applies to fucking jude aswell who is like:
"oh well....I guess I wanna help milla or sth? 'cause I don't really have anything else to do anymore..."
also, it's not true at all!
both have their reasons and both reasons are explicitly mentioned throughout the whole game~
like, it's actually part of the character development?! how can you miss that?
sure, all in all, the characters arguably don't grow all that much...
as compared to maybe some other tales of games/characters (definitely no luke in here, that's for sure xD!)
but there is still enough character development to please me!
"the events leading to the duel and the duel...were the best thing ever~ also otp"
god, I was waiting sooooooooo long for that moment to happen and then it was the shittiest thing ever?!
like, fandom's favourite scene was my most urgh no pls scene and it really could have been great
but for multiple reasons I didn't really buy the characters' actions in this scene...
that and some things before in the story were some serious WHAT THE HELL moments...
I'm still angry about the execution of that...ISSUE in the way it happened, like NOPE
and yeah, they might have looked pretty in that scene but definitely didn't make me want to ship them because GOD WHY
I just wanted to slap them hard, fucking idiots!
"elize is annoying and anyhow it is not believable that a child of her age is such a great fighter"
DUUUUUUUUUUDE, this is a fantasy RPG...
the hero jude is 15 and has only fought against leia and was taught some self-defense by leia's mother before the whole thing...
not sure he and leia are qualified to save the fucking world either....
ALSO it's more than once explained why elize (and the others, too, for that matter) is able to fight like that
MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T SKIP THE CUTSCENES *cough* booster *cough* and in a more general sense those thingamajigs, what are they called?
the stuff from the golden swordsman that enables them to link with each other and...oh yeah GIVES THEM THE ABILITY TO FIGHT MONSTERS
and don't ever start me on her being "annoying" she is not! SHE IS NOT ANNOYING - NEVER!
yeah, I get so easily pissed because elize is THE one character (well, ok and rowen) with constantly appropriate behaviour!
she is sad when she has a reason to be sad, she is pissed when everyone else is like "oh well ok" although they really should be pissed and she is honest and always has very good reasons for her actions!
ahem, yeah, elize and rowen are my favourites...in terms of characterization and just generally (with alvin...and everyone else XD)
come on, the story of this game wasn't the greatest thing either
there are some issues with certain characters inbetween, sure
but all in all, does this make the game shitty?
no, it still has great and funny character interactions and development a nonetheless good story and more than anything a great fighting system!
it is a really enjoyable game and I really want to play xillia 2 as well!
although...those new character designs... xD
I'm really gonna need time to get used to those! xDDD
P.S.
everyone who finds mieu from abyss cute and thinks that teepo is annoying as fuck....
can never be friends with me XDDDD! honestly...
teepo is a-ok ...mieu is per se a cute and nice little guy
BUT FUCKING ANNOYING AS SHIT AND I WANT TO PUNCH HIM INTO THOSE CUTE ROUND EYES ALL THE TIME AND JUST URGH
tox,
