Tales of Xillia follows Jude Mathis, a clever medical student attending
school in the capital city, and Milla Maxwell, a mysterious woman accompanied by
four unseen beings. Players will be able to choose either Milla or Jude at the
outset of their adventure through the world of Rieze Maxia, where humans and
spirits live together in harmony. The kingdom of Rashugal has been experimenting
with a powerful device that has been draining the mana from the world. Realizing
the harm it is inflicting on the world, Milla and Jude set off on a journey to
destroy it and restore the mana back to the world. Over the course of the game
their lives will intersect with a vast ensemble of characters that will teach
them the strength of unwavering conviction.
Players will engage enemies with the critically acclaimed Linear Motion
Battle System that the Tales of series is famous for. The system allows for
real-time movement and attacks, giving the player a more tactile role in the
midst of fights. The battle system in Tales of Xillia has been upgraded to
Double Raid Linear Motion Battle System to let two characters combine their
attacks to utilize devastating dual-character attack, letting fans strategize
the best party setup for their style of play.
