Journey into Rieze Maxia
Tales of Xillia Remastered immerses players in a captivating narrative led by dual protagonists, Milla Maxwell and Jude Mathis. Their adventure begins when they unwittingly stumble upon a sinister plot by the Kingdom of Rashugal to develop a devastating weapon. United by their resolve to thwart this threat, Milla and Jude embark on an epic quest across the mystical land of Rieze Maxia. Along their journey, they gather a diverse team of companions, each contributing to their shared mission. Players will navigate expansive overworlds, delve into intricate towns, and conquer challenging dungeons. The game`s dynamic action combat system allows two party members to synchronize, executing powerful “Link Arte” attacks.
A Legacy in the Tales Series
Originally the thirteenth installment in the long-running Tales series, Tales of Xillia stands as a standalone story, making it accessible to newcomers without prior knowledge of the franchise. However, it also features a direct sequel, Tales of Xillia 2, which picks up one year after the original`s events. Given the recent trend of Tales game remasters, such as Tales of Graces f Remastered earlier this year and Tales of Symphonia a few years prior, the possibility of Tales of Xillia 2 receiving a similar modern update seems plausible in the near future. This ongoing commitment to remasters highlights the enduring appeal and rich history of the Tales franchise.
