Bandai Namco Games Europe have kicked off the week by releasing a set of two new character trailers for upcoming JRPG Tales of Xillia 2, a sequel to the 2011/2013 (Japan/International) release for Tales of Xillia on the PlayStation 3. These two videos focus on what Bandai Namco have dubbed the ‘enfants terribles’ from Leronde, Jude Mathis and Leia Rolando, who are like all previous characters from ToX set to appear as playable characters in ToX2.
Tales of Xillia 2 is set for release in international markets from August 22nd 2014. While a full review of this title will be available upon launch, you can check out my review of the 2012 Japanese release HERE.
Jude Mathis
Much has changed for Jude in the past year. In a world where the schism—which previously divided the worlds of Rieze Maxia and Elympios — has been dispelled at last, Jude toils endlessly in his research of Spyrite: an alternative energy source which could replace Spyrix and solve Elympios’; energy crisis without the expense of the spirits. If he could perfect it, Spyrite could be the key to eliminating the tension between the two worlds and truly uniting their people once and for all—but there are those that would try to stop him.
Leia Rolando
Leia has always been energetic and inquisitive, and this nature of hers has led her to become a reporter for a local newspaper in Elympios, as she aims to promote cultural understanding between the two nations through the articles she writes. Her editor isn’t so easily impressed, however, and she works hard endlessly in pursuit of a story that’ll warm him up to her writing. For better or for worse though, she may get the scoop of a lifetime sooner than she thinks.
