Tales Of Xillia’s Battle System Focuses On Cooperative Attacks

At a press briefing, Hideo Baba presented the DR-LMB system made for Tales of Xillia. That stands for double raid linear motion battle. Cooperative attacks, like the ones seen in the Tales of Xillia trailer released earlier today, are at the core of the battle system. Hideo Baba, producer of the Tales series, believes this will be a big selling point for Tales of Xillia.

Speaking of Xillia, Baba explained how he came up with the title. It’s based on the word "zillion" (Famitsu says "Xillion" though), a huge number. They coined Xillia from that. The "X" represents the unknown and an intersection or crossing.

The game’s genre is an RPG of unwavering beliefs.

Ayumi Hamasaki will sing the game’s theme song and ufotable, the studio behind the Tales of Symphonia OVA, is in charge of animation.
