In the announcement, it’s been disclosed that Tales of Xillia Remastered will debut with numerous delightful upgrades. Some of these refinements were previously hinted at in the game’s unveiling trailer, but the official site details all the new features.
Essentially, the Xillia remaster appears to be a more thoughtfully assembled product in comparison to the Tales of Symphonia Remastered, which unfortunately fell short. Several enhancements aimed at improving user experience could significantly impact the entire playthrough positively.
Here’s a quick bullet point summary:
- The Grade Shop can be accessed on your first playthrough, allowing you to purchase gameplay modifiers usually reserved for New Game+
- You’ll be given 5,000 Grade Points to spend right off the bat in said Grade Shop
- Some Grade Shop items have had their cost reduced by 50%
- Over 40 cosmetic DLCs are included in the remaster (although some licensed DLCs aren’t included)
- An autosave has been added
- You can toggle enemy encounters off, letting you simply pass through roaming foes
- A retry option has been added, letting you immediately retry normal battles upon defeat
- Subtitles have been added for various in-battle scenes
- Dashing has been added, letting you move at much quicker speeds (and you can toggle between the regular running speed and the new dashing)
- Objective markers / destination markers have been added (they can be toggled on or off)
- New ‘!’ icons on the minimap show the locations of sub-events, and limited-time sub-events are marked with an hourglass icon
- Treasure chest and item icons have been added to the map
- An option to automatically skip events has been added to the options menu
- You can now skip cutscenes and skits
- A ‘NEW!’ icon has been added to inventory and arts menus to clearly mark newly acquired stuff
- Items descriptions have been added to the Jet Black Feather trading post
- The ability to jump straight to the top of a menu / menus has been added
- You can now select bonus materials in batch
- The differences in stat increases / decreases have been added to the equipment menu when changing gear
- Opening chests and item containers has been made easier (you no longer have to stand right up close)
- Camera distance options have been added (near / normal / far) in dungeons and field maps
- Separate volume settings have been added for music / voice / sound effects
- A Japanese dub option has been added
- The game runs at 60 frames-per-second at 4K resolution on PS5
- The game’s visuals have been made more vibrant
These alterations include some rather substantial changes, particularly in regards to the Grade Shop features. For instance, these updates can boost your experience and income immediately, thereby reducing some of the game’s initial grinding requirements.
As a gamer, I’m thrilled about these new features and enhancements! Let’s start strategizing on what to buy from the shop using Grade Points in the comment section below.
