Pros:
- The CATS courier was introduced is a nice change.
- The main hero Ludger now struggling with three types of weapons (sword, hammer, guns) which was implemented successfully
- Various ENDINGS (3 real Endings and 2 not really serious Endings)
- Character storylines are designed interesting and you learn more about the Xillia 1 hero
- Blind, the big cat is cool: D
- SPLITTER DIMENSION stories are actually quite interesting, as they tend to give rise Paraleluniversen Bingen interesting stories there then run eg from stories like "what if person X would then not have died"
- GAIUS is illuminated from another side, very interesting and fun
Cons:
- The main character is almost silent and divided only by decisions with which one can make in certain situations themselves and thus he does not develop personality. What little he indicates personality is then overturned in the next situation again, because his reactions garnicht matches the vorrangegangen.
- The decisions you can make, sogut the events affect as not, the targeted 3 Endings, one switches Although freely through these decisions, however, this then happens only at 3 points in the game and it is not that you have to work towards
- The FREUNDSCHAFTSSYTEM. Unfortunately influenced high friendship to a character in any way his behavior, only small Bonussecenzen are added when certain character completes storylines, but that does not mean that you have a high friendship with them must.
- The DEBT SYSTEM, I thought it was actually not too bad. It motivates a to side quests to make ect, but it annoys you tremendously the churning calls gets that one should pay his debt back, it affects the flow of the game and encourages an on
- LEVEL DESIGN. Actually usual nice, I had, however, it is now looking forward to see more of Elympios because in the first part of the whole thing appears only briefly. But unfortunately you get submitted all the old areas again, with no change. New areas can be counted almost on one hand. On top of that you go through a map in Xillia 1, then appear in Xillia 2 and then quite possible again in the splinter dimension (in which in some areas new treasure chests and you can not just go through quickly
- The story is ok but not as deep green interred (also by altering Ludger is quite characterless), unlike Xillia 1 much shorter and not so varied, you know fairly quickly where everything will lead and the story you have not really work out as in Xillia 1
- The side quests are quite nice, but I found it interesting when you had this look in the individual towns and not that they simply pick up on a board. There is no need even to think and towns explore any nice conversations mitzubekommen, it is an all displayed on the area map, which is what. Some may be good, but boring for me. For the side quests, there are ranks when a furnishes you get points and it must collect rise one rank, if you do not do all the quests (and there are really many) there are fast new to you but sometimes can not do because no one has the rank required, although you really have to give only one item for the new Quest, which is even already in the inventory
Conclusion:
If I had not played the first part, the game would have might like better and I would have given it four stars, but I have played him and am spoiled by it. And in between, the game is definitely what, but it draws a not so easy in the spell as it did the first part.
I recommend the part anyway for all who have played the first part, because you can learn how the events after Xillia 1 continue, but should not approach with high expectations for the game you.
