Tales of Xillia 2 ‘Jude and Leia’ footage and screenshots
Veteran characters now Spyrite researcher and local reporter.
Bandai Namco has released new footage and screenshots screenshots of Tales of Xillia 2 ahead of E3 next week, highlighting characters Jude and Leia.
Both Jude and Leia return from the original Tales of Xillia and befriend main characters Ludger and Elle as they make their way to the Land of Canaan.
Here’s what they’ve been up to:
Jude Mathis
Much has changed for Jude in the past year. In a world where the schism—which previously divided the worlds of Rieze Maxia and Elympios – has been dispelled at last, Jude toils endlessly in his research of spyrite: an alternative energy source which could replace spyrix and solve Elympios’ energy crisis without the expense of the spirits. If he could perfect it, spyrite could be the key to eliminating the tension between the two worlds and truly uniting their people once and for all—but there are those that would try to stop him.
Leia Rolando
Leia has always been energetic and inquisitive, and this nature of hers has led her to become a reporter for a local newspaper in Elympios, as she aims to promote cultural understanding between the two nations through the articles she writes. Her editor isn’t so easily impressed, however, and she works hard endlessly in pursuit of a story that’ll warm him up to her writing. For better or for worse though, she may get the scoop of a lifetime sooner than she thinks.
Tales of Xillia 2 is due out for PlayStation 3 on August 19 in North America and August 22 in Europe. Watch the footage below. View the screenshots at the gallery.
