The top 5 list continues today, as Day 4 honors the #2 RPGOTY. Today's #2 RPGOTY will be Tales of Xillia 2, a sequel to the original Tales of Xillia. The moment it came out, I made sure that I was one of the first people to order it on day one as well, unlike the first one. Because of the great perseverance, Namco Bandai entered a phase when they entered a slump after releasing Tales of Vesperia in the west in 2008 for the Xbox 360.
When that happened, I recall that Vesperia for the Xbox 360 was a darn fail because of the story and the series is no more, which I wasn't happy to oblige. Little did I know, but however, the PS3 exclusive revived the series. The first Tales of game for the PS3 was Graces, which I played before and loved it.
Tales of Xillia 2 is a delightful RPG. The battle system is a lot more .hack-esque because of Ludger changing weapons, the transformation stage, etc. The characters' English voices have great clips and perfect translation of the Japanese voices. The first one celebrates Tales of's 15th anniversary, and officially releases to the west last year. It was a long wait until then. The Collector's Edition has a statue of Ludger, the art book, etc.
Since I have Tales of Xillia 2 in the #2 spot, the #1, the best RPGOTY is up next and will be revealed tomorrow. What's it gonna be? There's no telling what it is.
