How does that work again?
>>385922557
can you elaborate further?
this is now a velvet thread
I have high hopes for the new Tales game. It's finally time to set everything right with a new engine.
Plenty of people complain about the devs of series like Tales using the same assets and engine for ages. Tales fans have been pretty tired of the Xillia look since Xillia 2 at least.
Also can we have a Milla thread? I wish we had more Milla threads. I miss her.
>>385922907
Xillia 3 when?
MILLA IS THE BEST TALES
how does she sound in Japanese? her English voice was not what I expected
>>385925847
Perfection
Miyuki Sawashiro absolutely nails it
English dub is shit
>>385925847
Her Japanese voice is amazing because it's Miyuki Sawashiro, and Sawashiro's voice is literally perfect.
I actually got interested in Xillia specifically because of Sawashiro. Unfortunate we didn't get JP VAs, but I was actually okay with the Eng one for her. Sawashiro is definitely better though.

yeah that sounds way better but why is Jude a girl
Xillia in Steam when?
Vesperia in Steam when`?
>>385922557
The tales series has used the Xillia graphics engine for like more than 6 years, of course everyone is sick of it
It's boring, bland, gray graphics I never really liked, it made environments boring looking, there was this tint effect that didn't look good because they were still trying to go for an anime look, the two colliding doesn't work imo
Not Only that, but the very next game after Xillia was Xillia 2, in which they reused practically the ENTIRE game of Xillia including towns, enemies, bosses, environments, there was barely any new things in the world and when a new place did become available, story shit would happen and you would never be able to go to these new places ever again
Zestiria looked exactly like Xillia, which was disappointing because it was an anniversary title, but it really doubled down on the boring gray look where nothing is colorful and the world is a boring "realistic" snore with nothing unique about anywhere you traveled to
Berseria is the most recent case of the Xillia engine but it did do some things right, while running around big open fields for nothing is still bullshit, they added little things to make the world colorful and somewhat interesting at least in comparison to the past few games, they would add flower patches and bricks to the ground for a road, make each town unique in comparison to the other, they were at least trying to cover up the Xillia engine for the first time in 6 years so I appreciate that even if it wan't much
tl;dr Xillia engine sucks and everyone knows it
>>385926756
jude is always been a girl
>>385926846
Abyss in Steam when
Vesperia PS3 in Steam when
Also Alt!Milla best Milla
>>385927032
he punches shit that's as manly as a jrpg protag can get
>>385926756
Because he's 15 years old. He's still going through puberty.
It's easy to forget, since he goes to med school, and within the next two years manages to help save the world twice, make huge strides in scientific fields and win the equivalent of a nobel prize, but yeah, he's 15 at the start of the first game, 16 in the second.
On that note, Milla's body is 20 years old, 21 in Xillia 2.
>>385927175
does he lose the girl voice in 2?
>>385922557
if talking about xilla one and two, yeah fuck two. i liked the game but they reused 99% of the area of the first game and blocks off the main story behind the debt system and "side quests".
if not for ludgers devil may cry gameplay, i would have had buyers remorse.
>>385927098
have you seen her (him) in a nurse uniform? may as well be a girl.
>>385927175
wait a minute he's fucking 15? I thought he's like 20 or something
>>385927098
Dr. Bruce Lee is underrated.
>>385922557
But tons of people complained about xillia 2's reused asset.
Than again tons of people complained how rushed and bland xillia was to begin with
>>385927342
nope. our boy is 15 and milla was his first boner.
>>385927394
Long story short, Tales of fans are whiney babbies.
>>385922557
So it's tales hate day on /v/ today?
>>385927342
Yep, 15. Which just makes his relationship with Milla that much better IMO.
>>385927230

Slightly.
>>385927558
I love X2 but they werent wrong about the criticism though
>>385927746
wow you're not kidding, did his voice actor change it is it the same person?
that's kinda cool desu, you can hear the difference
>>385922907
Velvet better but we can let the millafags have their thread every once in a while.
>>385927394
Xillia is basically Symphonia without the Tethealla part.
>>385922907
unf
>>385927958
Same VA in both games (Tsubasa Yonaga). Pretty sure they purposefully gave him a slightly aged voice in the second game to show him maturing, since his character arc in the first game was all about finding his way in life, and by Xillia 2 he was more of a mature, confident leader type.
MILLA BEST TALES GIRL
>>385928454
Wrong Milla, though
I had this sitting on my PS3 for ages, maybe I'll finally try it. I even got theundub
>>385928410
Yonaga was the sole reason I loved Vanguard.
He has the same personality on Xillia, so I fell in love with the game instantly.
>>385922557
>Musou and similar two-button action games are heavily shat on by American journos
>Pic related received all kinds of GOTY awards and critical praise
I don't fucking get it.
>>385928454
no
>>385928454

Are there any VelvetxMilla lesbo doujins?
>>385928454
I'm still hoping for a Xillia anime at some point.
I want some more Milla. Animated, voiced Milla would be amazing.
Please Namco.
>>385928816
>>385928928
What the fuck
That can't be real. No way English BandaiNamco would let that get past without being censored
>>385928816
tear is a weirdo! WEIRDO!
>>385928928
Holy fucked I just puked all over my keyboard, this voice acting is HORRIBLE. Why the fuck is this allowed? Tales games should be sub/Jap VA only.
>>385929629
Ah, I see subs>dubs people didn't take too long to appear...
>>385929528
She's also a pedo.
>>385929629
There's nothing bad at all with the voice acting, weeblord. Calm your tits.
Should be more worried about the Ar Tonelico degrees of retarded inuendo, if anything.
>>385929629
Well unless you somehow imported the game from japan you used the dub since Xillia has no Japanese aduio
>>385929528
Tear is a nice girl for hugs and cuddles
>>385929716
You mean people with not disgusting, autistic taste?
>>385929784
You're delusional.
>>385929797
Yeah?
>>385929896
>calls others autistic
>comes to screech about voice acting in cantonesse animation games not being up to his standards of moonrunes
>>385930052
>>385925514
>Tales fans have been pretty tired of the Xillia look since Graces
FTFY
>>385927175
>Because he's 15 years old. He's still going through puberty.
At 15 a teenager is not going to sound like a 10 year old.
>>385927080
Alt!Milla somehow managed to have even less personality than regular Milla, I really don't get the praise
>>385928928
I forgot how bad the sound mixing was in Xillia. It sounds like someone recorded a fucking phone call.
>>385930885
>At 15 a teenager is not going to sound like a 10 year old.
His voice actor just happens to be one of the highest pitched in the biz, so his "teenager voice" is much higher than other's.
>>385928264
>Xillia is Symphonia if it ended after the first visit to Syback
ftfy
>>385931974
Accurate.
>>385922557
With Velvet we got a 10/10 /ss/ doujin. You can't say the same about Western games.
>>385922557
Western is held to a higher standards.
>>385932217
Fuck off shota degenerate.
>>385922907
Truly the best turn this thread could have possibly taken.
