I know at least one person who may have sticky shorts over this news:

Tales of Xillia 2

- PS3, release date is sometime in Winter, actual date will be announced on June 27.

- The main character is Rudger Will Krusnik (Takashi Kondo), the heroine is El Mel Mata (Mariya Ise).

- The game is set a year after ToX, in Elenpios.

- The character designs this time are by Daigo Okamura, a Bandai Namco illustrator and art director on the Tales series.

- Realistic proportions, third person camera, story decisions with branching cutscenes, etc.

- The battle system uses a weapon shift system where Rudgar can change in realtime between twin blades, a hammer, and twin pistols. Very fast paced and action packed.

- Animation by Ufotable once again, with Ayumi Hamasaki contributing to the theme song once more.

They actually had to list that as a feature?

Hmmm. I'm excited, but is this porting to the US? Hell, we haven't even gotten Xillia 1 yet. I'm thinking this is just a Japanese release for now. I can't foresee it coming out in the Winter here when Xillia is probably slated for the same time. We won't be seeing Xillia 2 until next year at the earliest... if they even bring it over. There's still no actual release date for the first. I don't want to play the sequel before the original. But it looks cool. I hope to god it doesn't follow the same fate as Symphonia 2. That was a disaster.

Just from the .gif's the combat system looks more like Devil May Cry 3 than Tales Of. Like, it almost looks identical.

I mean, just look at it.

Starts off with Agni & Rudra, switches to Ebony & Ivory, and then to I guess what would be Rebellion. I'll play the game regardless of how crappy the story is if the combat works like that.

What if the main character ends up like Emil?
