Last week, I went hands-on with Tales of Xillia 2 (ToX2) at the Bandai Namco NYC Showcase Event. ToX2 releases in just a couple of weeks so if you’re on the fence about this one, let me share with you my impressions of the game from my demo session.
A North American release for Tales of Xillia 2 was announced earlier today at the Tokyo Game show for sometime in 2014. Tales of Xillia 2 launched November of 2012 in Japan and though critically well received, sold a modest half million copies. Such an underwhelming performance in sales may have led to publisher Namco Bandai to delay publishing the title on this side of the pond. Co-op JRPGs are something of a rarity so any opportunity to play through compelling character arcs with friends is always a welcome event.
