Tales of Xillia (PS3)

[SilverSyko]

I don't know why you're clarifying the Japanese version when it wasn't changed at all for the localization.

But I certainly agree that petrify is the most dangerous status ailment.

[GDB]

Because I'm playing it again in English, and I'm clarifying my play through? If I had said "my first play through" no one would've given it a second thought, even though it's literally the same but without the help of tutorial instructions.

Not too long now before I finish my playthrough on Milla's route, finishing her route will get me the last trophy to Plat this game

lol, getting plat on this game is so easy

[SOGESNAKE]

Just finished the game... not sure what everyone was complaining about with that last fight...

Spoiler for Final Battle:

Honestly, I didn't have all that much trouble with the Gaius/Muzet fight... only problem I had with it is that I killed Muzet twice before the full party arrived, so she just kept being revived until they arrived. Unfortunately... I didn't get to see Gaius' Mystic Arte... though... I guess that's a good thing...?

In the end... that fight really wasn't a problem... probably the fight I had the BIGGEST problems with was the the full Chimeriad fight you fight in the Advance Group Colosseum battle...

Anyway... not to load up my Save Data and work on the Optional Dungeon, the few trophies I have left... then a Milla playthrough~

were you on easy/normal difficulty on that battle?
I couldn't even get Muzet's life to half even after all of the party arrived (as I said, I played the game in hard difficulty from start to finish)

anyway since I'm at the verge of finishing Milla's route, there's a question I have that hasn't been answered in-game (or I probably missed that information).

Spoiler for spoiler question?:

How did the E.S.S. Zenethra ever reached Rieze Maxia in the first place? If anyone could answer it, I could probably connect it to the Tsunami that hit the Fezebel Outback... The War of Fezebel

I always do my first playthroughs on Normal Difficulty. If there was a Hard/Extreme trophy, I'd be playing that.

[Chaos2Frozen]

The guide told me to just run around until back up arrives

(<- Moderate)

Spoiler for answer to spoiler question:

If I recall, it was just said that there was a tear or breach in the Schism in some way. It didn't go into too deep of detail.

Spoiler for spoiler:

so.. it's another plothole. Pretty much like the one about Boosters having side-effects thing. If I recall, Elize's parents died when she was 4 and I think it was also around that time that Isla took her to the laboratory at Labari Hollow. If that's the case, she's been using Teepo for as long as Wingul was using his Booster. But that thing was never brought up ever again since right after the events at Fezebel Marsh, when the secret about the Schism was revealed. It's like Rowen doesn't even care about what would happen to Elize

[GDB]

Spoiler for response:

I don't think it's really a plot hole, just an unexplained event. They were trying to gain access to Rieze Maxia to work on the Otherworld Reactor Plan, and somehow a cruise ship slipped through the schism. Possibly due to their attempts to penetrate it elsewhere, possibly due to Maxwell having a stroke, who knows. It's not really important, as no one would really know exactly why it happened since it was an accident in the first place.

As for the booster issue, Rowen tells Elize to let him know if she starts to feel odd, and she never does. This could be because she's so used to it that she doesn't realize she's being sapped by the booster, or it could be because Teepo is a third generation booster and thus does not have as large an impact on her (if he has one on her at all). The ones with the side effect were second (and by extension, first) generation boosters. And Wingul was clearly alive and kicking for a good 20 years or so with a first generation booster in his brain, so what's another month to Elize?

Spoiler for reply:

It think it's important too. I mean, they found a way to get to Rieze Maxia without even going through the Temporal Crossroads. And it may have caused the Tsunami that washed away the war at the Fezebel Outback!

Regarding the boosters, Wingul probably had his boosters implanted for as long as Elize if not longer. I think he only had it after the war. And If you may recall, he is Test subject no.1. So Wingul had his Booster implanted for 20 years at most. Anyway, 8 years is pretty long for Elize's age. Also, why bring it up if it does nothing to her anyway?

[GDB]

Ah, I remember now!

Spoiler for response:

The flooding was indeed related to the ship coming through the schism. However, the ship itself did not cause the flooding. The Lance of Kresnik prototype had punctured the schism temporarily, and the ship just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and went through the hole. The blast from the lance is what caused the tsunami (from the west, not east, since if it came from the east many more cities would've been flooded too).

As for the boosters, it seemed to be mostly Wingul and Teepo development moreso than Elize development.

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

I believe it's a single combo with 16 different artes used.

[Chaos2Frozen]

Are you kidding me?! 6 more skits till the title/trophy and there isn't any left?!

Please tell me I'll get a skit each from the coliseum !

[Kirayuki]

You can just start a new game with Grade Shop option of unlocking all skits, and view all the skits from there to unlock the trophy

[Chaos2Frozen]

The point is I want the grade from the skit title... 300 pts goes a long way...

[Kirayuki]

IIRC, some of them are missable permanently (not to mention there are Jude and Milla route specific skits). And the coliseum only have a few skits as far as I can remember.

[Chaos2Frozen]

Holy crap that Golden Warrior bonus boss was insane! I think that's the longest fight I ever had in this game !

[GDB]

First time, second time, or third time? He gets stronger after you do the dungeon again (though doesn't get stronger a fourth time).

[Chaos2Frozen]

Lol just the first time

Took me two attempts- I think Leia was my star player more than even Elise because of her Item ability allows me to use the cheap gels on everyone... I've also spammed more items in this match than even with Gaius... Heck I even had to pull out the hourglass!
