![]() Bandai Namco continues to make improvements to the battle system, which along with the narrative are the strongest aspects of the Tales series. If you’ve played Xillia, you’ll easily recognize some of the included locations and characters. ![]() Unless there is something I am missing here, I will most probably be displaying these figures without their weapons sadly, and think having weapons attached to each character would have been the better option.The fourteenth core game in the Tales series, Tales of Xillia 2 follows the success of the original game, taking place only a year after the events that transpired in Tales of Xillia. With exception of Sorey once again, the weapons held by the other three characters were also not the easiest things to attach, and even once attached were not particularly stable. While Sorey is connected to the base through a white holder in his side and easily the most stable, the other three are just sort of held up as you can see in the image above. While I do think the production quality is high, I found myself getting a tad frustrated about them being fiddly and not particularly stable when completed. First up, I would like to say that these figures are of a high quality and are nicely detailed, from the individual character designs to the weapons they hold. The songs selected for inclusion however were of a high standard.Īrguably one of the more important bonus goodies in this Collector’s Edition is the four Chibi Kyun Chara figures based on Sorey, Mikleo, Alisha Diphda and Edna. Unfortunately, the bonus soundtrack CD for Tales of Zestiria only includes ten songs, which in my case were not annotated with track names etc. I personally have no qualms with publishers offering selection CD’s with pre-order bonuses, however with Special Editions I like something more substantial. There are four audio options on offer (English 5.1, English Stereo, Japanese 5.1 and Japanese Stereo), alongside a plethora of subtitling languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Russian). Although I will be saving my full thoughts on the anime for an upcoming review, the episode itself is English dubbed, and features good visual/audio quality. This is a change I am certainly not complaining about, especially given the PlayStation 4 alone supports the Blu-ray format. While I was expecting a DVD copy as originally promoted, ‘Dawn of the Shepard’ actually comes on a Blu-ray disc. Inside it are two extra discs, a bonus 30 minute anime episode 44 minute anime episode ‘Dawn of the Shepard’ and an “Original Music Selection”. The next item offered in this collection is an adorable Normin metalcase, featuring what could be considered the game’s mascot character (Like Teepo in ToX and ToX2). Compared to the game at launch, this Collector’s Edition needs to make up an extra $80.00 or so in value.ĭoes it accomplish this? Read below for more information. ![]() Unfortunately for those looking to play on other platforms, this Collector’s Edition is only available on the PlayStation 4 – and set fans back about $179.95 AUD. Unlike its predecessors however, Tales of Zestiria is a multiplatform title which has been launched on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PC. This follows the publishers prior launches of Tales of Xillia and Tales of Xillia 2 on the PlayStation 3. Launched yesterday, Tales of Zestiria is the latest in a long lime of “Tales” video games to be launched internationally. But after all this time, I have decided to see just what Bandai Namco Entertainment had to offer with their Tales of Zestiria Collector’s Edition. Therefore, there is a need for me to determine there is at least a decent chance of me getting my money’s worth before throwing money at a title. The reason there are so few of these articles on The Otaku’s Study is that Collector’s Editions tend to cost a lot more than their standard counterparts, and for the most part I consider the game/anime to be the most valuable component of any purchase. It has been almost ten months since my last unboxing post, which I wrote up for Madman Entertainment’s 25th Anniversary Edition for Kiki’s Delivery Service.
