Tales of Xillia: Difference between revisions

Line 50:

** The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HBR9yabMfc first boss] seems very reminiscent of Zagi. Even her theme music sounds similar...

** Alvin is basically [[Bleach|Sosuke Aizen]] playing the part of [[Tales of Symphonia|Kratos]] {{spoiler|[[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder|and]] [[Heel Face Revolving Door|everything]] [[Manipulative Bastard|that]] [[The Rival|implies]].}}

** Ivar looks like Haseo in skin ~~colour~~, hair ~~colour~~ and face a bit.

* [[The Fellowship Has Ended]]: {{spoiler|Each of the party members went on their separate way after the ending, though they still keep in touch with one another.}}

* [[Fighting Your Friend]]: {{spoiler|Jude versus Alvin}}.

Line 68:

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: A Tales game wouldn't let its protagonist get away without having one.

* [[Holding Hands]]/[[Intertwined Fingers]]: {{spoiler|Jude and Milla in the ending. It's a [[Tear Jerker]] as this is before they have to say goodbye because of Milla becoming the goddess of Liese Maxia}}

* [[Kid Hero]]: At 15, Jude is one of the younger protagonists that the Tales series has seen along with [[Tales of Destiny|Kyle]] and [[Tales of Innocence|Ruca]]; the standard ~~heroing~~ age seems to be 17.

** Inversely, Rowen is the oldest playable character {{spoiler|who ''isn't'' [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]}} in the main series, having 62 years of age.

* [[Limit Break]]: The fan favorite attacks return once again; introduced via full-body cut-ins (ala ''[[Tales of Graces]]'').

Line 77:

* [[Milestone Celebration]]: The game is produced in celebration of Tales series 15th anniversary ([[Schedule Slip|which was in 2010]]).

* [[Multicolored Hair]]: Milla's hair is red, blonde and green.

** With something sorta ~~blue-ish~~ at the end of the green. Now remember who she claims she is and which Spirits that would entail ruling over.

* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: {{spoiler|Alvin, after accidentally shooting Leia.}}

* [[Names to Know in Anime]]

Line 93:

* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]: Ivar, he's hyper, he moves like cartoon characters and has comical SFX going in for him.

** [[Deconstructed Trope|Deconstructed]]: As the goofiest character, he's the least likely to be taken seriously, even when he needs it.

*** [[The Scrappy]] / [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap]]: Ivar is also a deconstruction of these tropes. After Milla begins ~~travelling~~ with Jude, he becomes bitterly jealous and tries to prove his worth in increasingly ridiculous ways that just exasperate the heroes. It gets to the point that Milla even [[Face Palm|~~Facepalms~~]] at the sight of him. He's so desperate for her approval that in his bid to rescue himself from the heap, he {{spoiler|goes to activate the Spear of Kresnik, thinking it will free the spirits and regain her trust, when in fact it plays right into Jiland's hands.}} To the kid's credit, he ''does'' mature a bit and [[Took a Level In Badass|take a decent level in badass]] in the aftermath.

* [[Say My Name]]: By the boatloads.

* [[Scenery Porn]]: The game is really beautiful, whether it's the anime cutscenes or in game scenes. Then again, the anime cutscenes were produced by [[Kara no Kyoukai:|ufotable.]]
