Jude will the party as a playable character and he has a couple of new moves like "Ice Shattering Edge." Ibaru also returns in Tales of Xillia 2 drifting in Elenpois wearing the same costume plus sunglasses.
I don't know why anyone would want to jump right into Tales of Xillia 2 without playing Tales of Xillia, but Namco Bandai will summarize the events for newcomers.
Namco Bandai has a long line up, but so far most of their games aren't playable. Attendees can try out Tales of Xillia 2, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, and Project X Zone at their booth.
While we only get snippets from Time and Eternity: Toki Towa, Namco Bandai releases tons of footage from Tales of Xillia 2. The second trailer shows Link Arts and Ludger's transformation where he can send enemies to another dimension.
Namco Bandai announced a collaboration costume for Tales of Xillia 2. 4gamer reports players will be able to get Akito Hyuga's clothes as able content for Tales of Xillia 2.
Poor Ludger. Because he owes 20,000,000 gald, the protagonist in Tales of Xillia 2 is trapped. The GHS system keeps track of debtors and restrict what parts of Elenpios they can visit.
Tales of Xillia 2 uses the same engine as last year's Tales of Xillia, but the high tech setting gives the game a completely different feel. Elenpios looks more like our world than the usual fantasy setting in Tales of titles.
