Tales of Xillia 2 General [In Stores Now]

I don't believe it shows the specific amount until you get the bonus itself.

This has a list with who gets the SP bonuses in JP, but it doesn't state the specific number.

one other question, I know I saw it somewhere before but

Spoiler

where are the 3 cat hidden cat treasures? You get a trophy for each I think, plus they are supposed to be pretty good I think? I should have written it down when I saw it before.

specifically, the second one, "the narrow crevice beneath where the magnificent frog dwells".

I think these are the correct English names.

1

Gaius's Throne in Kanbalar

2

Tatalian Abyss B3 southeast area near a crawlspace area

3

Barnauer High Road Southwest, Northwest side of the road by/in a tree

Finally managed to beat

Spoiler

Shadow Gaius

, hardest fight by a pretty long shot. At least he dropped a ridiculously overpowered skill tome that makes him immune to stagger. Now I don't even have to try anymore when countering, not like anything is going to knock me down short of a 1hit! Do all the shadows have tomes, he's the only one that gave one so far, and I've beaten about...7-8 of them?

Spoiler

Elize, Leia, Ludger, Gaius, Jiao, Julius, Agria, and the white hair super saiyan I can never remember the name of.

Gotta get my Affinity up with high enough with the rest to fight the others, then I get to fight the final boss of this, then I get to unlock more battles in the arena. Not gonna unlock seals in this playthrough, no point, I can't afford the grade to carry them over and I don't want to anyway, I want to play through on unknown without any gear advantages for NG+.

[Flonne]

OK, I'm about ready to NG+, but the grade shop doesn't specify one thing; do I still get all the skill/arte tomes that are affinity gifts if I only use the 2K grade "roll over tome skills" and don't use the 1K "roll over affinity"? I have 6.5K grade now and can get a bit more by getting bad/normal end still.

It will roll over any skill tomes, but rolling over affinity will still play all the skits when you meet that character and get the items involved, even if you have them already.

Which costume is that and how do you get it?

Which costume is that and how do you get it?

All of the outfit is dlc. Hat and Bangs are from 'tales of hats' pack and the hair pack for X2, while the costume is Milla's school outfit which will be listed under the original Xilla add ons. Praise to the heavens that all original dlc can be carried over into X2 :D

Sister and I are up to Chapter 8...

Spoiler

First Chronos fight wasn't that bad since it basically boiled down to me spamming Sledgehammer attacks to break guards and Magic Guard his "Tetra Spell". The Muzet fight was a complete pain though due to the "near perma guard" and teleporting around. Magic Guard also laughed at most of her attacks.

Swimsuit Gaius my oh my.

Currently level 43 on my second playthrough and after doing a bunch of battles I noticed the EXP doesn't match up to what I actually get. Does anyone know how the EXP is distributed? Earlier today I received around 8XX EXP with Ludger having somewhere in the 700s to the next level but after the fight he only moved to ~400 TNL.
Playing on Unknown if that matters at all. Although I think I remember this happening on my first playthrough as well which was on Hard.

Seems like they have a cutoff point where you start receiving reduced EXP if you're overleveled vs the monsters.
I know I was getting it as well when just farming / grinding in the off hours.

That sounds like a pain considering the monsters don't go up/down in levels when changing difficulties like Graces F did iirc.

Playing through Elize episode 4, i realized they missed out a lot of cool things they could have done with the dimensions.

Like, for this specific episode, what if they ran into that dimensions Elize, who was a completely different person in looks and personality? Maybe an Elize that didn't have Teepo? What about turning up excited to see this dimensions Sharlton in complete ruins? Only that one dimension with the old Alvin lightly touched on this, and it was pretty lame /* (but PRESA :'( NO ILY ) */
