Hideo Baba mentions Ayu in the Tales of interview. It's around 22:20.

Basically he says that they really wanted Ayu to write and sing the song for the series. He also mentions that they requested her to change the lyrics a couple of times and that the recording studio told them that no one has made so many requests to Ayu before like them, but he seems to be very pleased with what they got. No wonder she was back for Xillia 2.

^ I only started playing it yesterday and I'm already loving it! The battle system is awesome! The story didn't really drag me in yet, but I'm really at the start, I'm very interested in what's next!

I wonder if putting Ayu's name at the back of the cover and mentioning her during the interview was part of the contract with avex, another way to attract more people to buy the game using big name or just the way of thanking her. Probably part of the contract.

Hideo Baba also mentioned that this time we will get the same DLC as Japan got (cause we didn't get half of it with Tales of Graces f for some reason), I hope we will get Ayu's live costume that was coming with FIVE (Xillia Edition).

Got my Collector's Edition today. It worth much more than $100. Gotta thank Namco for it.

Got it and started it yesterday So incredibly fun, but not revolutionary as a Tales game or anything - it still pretty closely follows the Tales formula. But it's a really lovely game in many ways.

I actually opened the game and restarted it twice because I thought I kept missing progress (since the game takes you right into a New Game, it doesn't go to the Title screen automatically like most games) - but as a matter of fact, the game has a sort of "cold opening", in that you play through the entire prologue, then you get the actual opening sequence with progress playing. And I have to admit, it's really really epic!

I loved progress already, but seeing it accompanied with an amazing game (and hearing it every time I boot the game up now) has made me fall in love with it all over again.

I also bought the collector's edition, which was around $100... and I am never paying that much for a game again I rarely even buy them at retail price, but I felt the urge to show support for the Tales series and especially because they were bringing over Ayu with it. Seriously, I would've gotten the game eventually anyway, but adding Ayu (and then, for the first time in the series, deciding to retain that theme song in the Western release) really pushed me to preorder it.

All to say, there is an existing fraction of the fanbase that will be more incited to buy something if their favourite singer sings for it Keep that in mind, namco!

Its actually pretty fun, since Tales of Grace f I wasn't too sure how this game would feel but its pretty good, Tales of Grace f was just a fail, but this is a success. Its colourfull, the maps a huge (compared to grace), the skits are funny, battling's fun and even the little add in talks bits that just pop up are good too. It is sort of like FFX with how you progress through the world and story

I'm staunchly against DLC, but yeah, even I'll cave if they bring over Ayu's costume

While PS3 is region free. The DLCs aren't. To your PS3 a JP ver of Xillia isn't the same game as the US one.

Dude, Tales of Graces f is awesome. You are forgetting that it's originally a Wii title, obviously Xillia looks better visually.

I sold my DLC codes from FIVE & LOVE for $10 on eBay. There were no use to me anyway, like njanjayrp said DLC is region locked.

I never got into the characters of grace, the graphics are never an issue with tales of games, but I think it was the game I discovered there was no world map (which I loved in the tales of series) and took away the spirits and magic and made it something else. But also the whole no world map thing is done a lot better in Xillia. But Grace, I'v lost interest and walked away from it

and if our English version of Xillia gets made into a Japanese Version, as in the English version is released in Japan, the DLC from FIVE & LOVE should world with it, thats a way I'v read to get past the region lock thing, but Xillia English Ver has yet to be made available in Japan yet
