Knowing which links to use on which enemies can definitely make things easier, especially on the higher difficulties. Linked characters can provide support in different ways, such as breaking enemy guard or recovering from being knocked down. As is typical for the franchise, each character is fully playable, each one boasting their own combat styles and abilities. The combo length dictating Assault Counter (AC) system and Technical Points (TP) used to perform artes both return, while all of the character Linking systems are also back. Characters move around in real time, using a variety of attacks and ‘arte’ abilities (the Tales series’ moniker for special attacks) to take out foes. Battles are initiated by encountering enemy icons on the field, bringing the party to the field arena.
Those who have played the original title should immediately feel comfortable here, as the base battle mechanics are left largely the same. The familiar fast paced combo-based battle system makes a return, complete with the linking mechanics introduced in Tales of Xillia. The old cast joins up again too, so no worries, your favorite (and least favorite) party characters are once again playable. Taking place a year after the original, we now follow the storyline of Ludger Kresnik, a silent protagonist who finds himself in the middle of a worldwide conflict centered around a mysterious young girl, Elle, and her unusual pocketwatch.
