Tales of xillia 2 rideaux7/28/2023 ![]() Ion reads the Planet Score and, while it helps the party in giving them a goal and he manages to cure Tear's disease, he dies in Luke's arms. You'd think that you'd make it just in time, but you ultimately aren't. And it hits particularly hard, if the player had gone through the trouble of doing the long sidequest of getting him and General Cecille engaged, with their romance being a symbol of hope for the two nations to finally get along. He was a good, decent general and died fighting for prolonged peace. It happens after the month of peace and proves that the world isn't as saved as they thought. The player can, if they poke around enough, make this even worse when they can encounter the boy's mother who doesn't know just what happened. The boy cannot be saved and the player has to watch as the boy sinks and begs for help. The party is on a small piece of land, surrounded by poisonous muck and a little boy is floating on a crate, stuck under his father's corpse. There's also the scene after the destruction.The party only manages to survive, because Tear used a hymn to keep them safe during the fall. Hundreds, if not thousands, of people die because of Luke's mistake and Van throws Luke, who idolized him immensely, away like a piece of trash. Instead, Van manipulates Luke, betrays him and forces him into using his powers which, unknowingly to him, actually cause the entire destruction of the town. The people are suffering and Luke wants to get to Van, in order to follow his orders, which Van says will save everyone. After all they put you through in the game, their death scene really makes them sad. Alice then bursts out into Unstoppable Rage, only for Marta to then take her down. When Emil and Marta finally rearrange their faces, Decus jumps in the way of Emil's sword and gets impaled for Alice. Alice treats Decus like dirt yet Decus is still in love with her regardless. The sequel has one in the form of an Alas, Poor Villain with Alice and Decus.Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World Even if it turns out that they are all fine and alive. Even if it's foreshadowed by a skit between Raine and Regal just before, it still doesn't lessen the impact. And every one of your party members pulls a Heroic Sacrifice, so that Lloyd can make it to Colette in time. Shortly after the above player punch, the party is rushing towards Yggdrasill and trying to save Colette, but every other room has a trap or mechanism set.The fact that the player has basically ignored Zelos' potential behind his stepford smile and Butt-Monkey tendencies has resulted in Zelos refusing any friendship and getting alienated by the party. In it, Sheena and Lloyd lament the fact that they didn't really know Zelos' reason for his actions. And to drive that punch in even further, there's a skit that only unlocks, if the player has killed Zelos.Any other route, Lloyd simply tells Zelos that he trusts him. If the player has followed Kratos' route, Lloyd asks Zelos if he can actually trust him. Made particularly bad when one notices the slight dialogue differences when talking to Zelos, just before his betrayal happens, which is often considered the point of decision.And in this route, you don't get to learn his full motivation for things, whereas other routes give you a chance to see them. ![]() ![]() Yes, the player has forced the game into making you kill your own teammate. If one has done the optional scenes of bonding with Kratos, prior to his betrayal, and attempts to patch things up after, the party is then faced by Zelos' betrayal and has to kill him. With the game's Relationship Values, this can cause a player punch in the last third.In the Temple of Lightning, Volt attacks the party and ends up killing Corrine, which causes a miniature Heroic BSoD for Sheena.It gets worse when one learns that Kratos is Lloyd's father. There's another punch immediately after defeating Remiel, revealing that Kratos is a traitor and has been working for the Big Bad the entire time.And an extra punch, in the revelation that Remiel was evil all along, mocking Colette and the rest of the party, which causes Lloyd to fly into a fit of rage and kick the angel's ass. The first visit to the Tower of Salvation, where Colette is about to complete her journey and save Sylvarant, revealing that she has to die for it to happen.She then pulls a Heroic Sacrifice and injures Forcysteus enough for him to retreat. After the battle, it turns out that it's Marble, a friendly old lady that Genis and Lloyd had befriended, turned into a monster. The second boss battle of the game counts as one. ![]()
