I don't know anything about this game, but those black shoes are soooo gorgeous!

I want the Jude shoes and pretend they are Miku oriented instead, because look at the color, it's very Miku!

I wonder how did Doctor Jude Mathis inspire shoes for women?

Their is not enough love for Tales of Xillia! I wish the Tales series was more popular here in the states. I want pairs of both of these shoes. Especially the pair with Jude's design!

While the prices are outrageous, a local shoe shop here sells male size 13 shoes that can be $80-$100.

I love the Jude inspired shoes, but what the heck would you wear them with... except a Miku cosplay, I suppose. Laughing

the Milla shoes seem a little more practical (except for that heel...) but rather un-Milla-ish.

last I checked Xillia was pretty popular by JRPG standards, of-course it wasn't going to outshine Symphonia by any means (it's Final Fantasy 7 of the Tales series) but on it's own merits it did well enough to get a sequel

I agree that Tales of Xillia is still a very solid entry in the Tales series, but all I seem to see lately are people harping on about how bad it was because of repeat environments, the Link system being entirely in Jude and Milla's favor, Jude not shutting up about how great Milla was and so on. Its sequel is even more crapped on. I just don't understand what the Tales fandom wants anymore.

Jude's fanboying made me like Millia a whole lot more as a character, I can understand some hate on the sequel though, it's not a bad entry but the whole debt thing was a tad bid annoying, considering that you can't advance in the game without paying a certain amount of cash

I'd have liked Jude a lot more if he played the "serious doctor/medical student" type the entire time and joined Milla only because he couldn't remain as a student in Fenmont due to getting involved with her. None of that "everything Milla says is right!" crap he pulled out when the party needed to make a choice. The Milla fanboying was far worse in the Japanese version, so I'm glad the English version's script toned it down because it would have been downright insufferable.

As for the sequel, yeah, the constant cellphone calls to pay your debt back in intervals was a bit of a drag and a block at times, but Xillia 2 had plenty of good merits thankfully, such as the new artes for the returning cast members and the battles being even more fun than with its predecessor (though that stacked weakness system was pretty unnecessary if you ask me). At least Jude got better and less Milla-crazy.

yeah I still enjoyed it, and I liked Jude better in 2 considering he went from Millia's little fanboy to Ludger's bro at the drop of a hat
