Right? Though, I didn't go well in depth with it. I just put all the stuff to all the characters, but I should have chosen different jobs for them. Some of the characters are hard to know which job they're perfect for. Well, at least for me.
For those that still want the Tales of Xillia Collector's Edition but can't find it anywhere due to it being sold out everywhere, Namco Bandai's official online store still has more in stock. That's where I preordered mine at and limited to one per household. Get it while they're still available in stock!
The EU collectors edition comes with a couple of costumes, I'm not sure about the US one. Here in the EU we're getting a Stahn costume for Milla and a Cress costume for Jude.
For those who didn't pre-order Tales of Xillia Collector's Edition and can't find it anywhere: Namco Bandai's official website still has it available for pre-order at their online shop.
Pre-ordered this collector's edition and was excited to play the game, but then I realized that Dragon's Crown was releasing on the same day. It's going to be tough juggling these two games around before college starts again.
TOX will be a masterpiece i am an old fan of the series and i was very happy to see the unboxing cuz i wanted to see the back of the package ,it's outstanding ! in every single of the box there is art ! that's the box i wanted ,, of course i pre order this since forever , i can't wait ! just 6 days till the release of my favorite series
That was the costumes from Collector's edition for US as well, but I was wondering if the limited edition one had the Stahn and Cress costumes or something else.
I got lucky with my CE pre-order. I went to the store to pre-order mine but the store clerk told me that he didn't know if you could give me one since he had just received them that day. He was nice enough to give me his pre-order since he was looking to change to the regular edition anyways. Score for me.
I really hope IGN at least gives the game an 8.5 or a 9. The game's amazing, and I can't wait for August 6. Also, looks like a couple of characters have their names changed: Jiao is now "Jaio" Jilland is now "Gilland" Musee is now "Muzet" Can't wait for the English voices of Wingul, Presa, Jaio, Gilland, Muzet, Ivar, Celsius, and Maxwell. Thumbs up for Tales of Xillia! And Xillia 2 and Symphonia Chronicles!
cant wait to pick this up on tuesday!!! been waiting all summer for this game. should definitely keep us busy until Tales of Symphonia Chronicles HD and Tales of Xillia 2. And please God Almighty let these games sell exceptionally well so we can get the Tales of games for the Vita. That would be fucking amazing
This action figure was released on the market before this collectors edition was announced. Plenty of them were made and sold in Japan so it might not become very rare. Unless practically everyone who bought this edition isn't aware of that.
Literally cannot wait, pissed i missed out on the collectors by an hour but still so excited this is coming to the west along with Xillia 2 and a remake of Symphonia
Basically the one that's buying the Collectors edition gets profit, you can get the figure and sell it on ebay, heck same concept with the Championship Riven Skin in League of Legends
It's only a few more days since you will get it, right? I'm in Europe, so I don't really know the specifics of the North American release, but it shouldn't be too long...
Ebay man. Seriously since these things are limited, there's always going to be someone who missed out. And if that person is a collector they may just be willing to pay way more than the RRP. And that Milla figure that you don't care about would be where most of the value is. The DLC costumes will probably go on the psn store after a while, and the music has been floating around the internet for a couple of years. But that statue, being numbered. There's only a few of them.
No, they're all separate games that don't connect. You can play Xillia without any playing any previous Tales games and you'll understand all of the story.
collectors items build profit as years go by if I product is numbered like the figure in this edition then that is a good thing meaning if someone where to keep the figure in the box sealed in a few years time can make double or triple the profit just on the figure alone and the person making that profit is the customer Dev. don;t care what you do with the game and items since you the customer paid for it
Can't wait for my Tales of Xillia Collectors Edition! Game looks amazing fully worth $100. On the 27th, I'll get my copy of Final Fantasy XIV ARR Online Collectors Editon! August is amazing month to be a PlayStation gamer! I'll do an unboxing with both as well~
Yep. It gets it. I got the CE one. I am not a big collector, but sometimes I like to get some extra stuff. I just wanted that figure to go with my Madoka one. xD
I'm not saying it's a bad thing that you don't care about the statue, I'm just making the point that the reason people will be selling this on in a couple of years for massively profit is because that statue is there. It's like you're making an investment. If you were to look at ebay now you'll find people selling the CE for about one and a half times the RRP, that's just going to go up as time goes on. And with the tales fans being as passionate as they are someone will pay that much.
It's actually Ex-illia if you go by the original Japanese pronunciation, but the intended one should be "Zillia" because the creators wanted it to be similar to the word "zillion".
I agree. Probably when Xillia 2 is released in the West, IGN and other reviewers are probably going to criticized the reused environments in the game, along with the short length.
that's wasn't on the minus. don't assume that was the case just because he off hand mentioned. on that note you could argue the voice acting(milla) could of knocked off that point. I ignored that though, milla is good and if she came off emotionless then she did her job voice acting milla. but 8 is still good, ignore other game scores as if they compare to this one.
He means the whole package, as in you buy the collector's edition, put it in your closet without opening the box. Meaning NOT USED. Most collectors won't buy it if it's been opened. And about the WIZARD EDITION Ni no Kuni, that was the collector's edition of Ni no Kuni. Lots of people are willing to pay extra for something collectible that they couldn't get their hands on earlier. And who cares about how much it is?They'll sell it for more than they bought it, making a profit.Exact price varies.
I don't give a crap about the statue, so I'll probably just end up selling it or if I ever find someone in the real world who like the Tales series, then maybe I'll just give it to them. If I wanted something like that, I would get a Mieu/Tokunaga/Corrine plushie or one of the character's weapons or something. I'm sure you could buy that somewhere else, but *shrug*. So which person is better to start out with? From what I've seen, their battling styles don't seem all that different.
Where'd you pre-order it? I have been trying to find a place that has it in-stock, but can't find one. Any help? That is, of course, if you live anywhere but Europe.
This game will have a lot of DLC costumes weapons gold etc in playstation store. I've played the Japanese version of TOX, imported it while back and they have tons of interesting costumes and other stuff but I couldn't buy any since its Japan account.the US version of tales of graces f had DLC too
Just pre ordered Tales of xillia 2 collectors edition at Amazon canada. I am so looking forward to have it on August 19 2014. Pre order now, before its too late.
wasted no time with my pre-order. Limited to 10,000 worldwide incase anyone was wondering. prices at £79.99 here in the UK. I'd guess that's around $115 in the states?
He gets the copy for free, so he just doesn't care about being cautious with the packaging. Basically all IGN reviewers do it like this since they've become spoiled when it comes to unboxing. For example take Greg Miller unboxing the Uncharted 2 collector's edition that is EXTREMELY rare, and the dagger included is tied to a display stand. Rather than take the time and untie the ropes he cuts them and then proceeds to swing the 30,000 dollar item like its a dollar store play sword.
True gamers appreciate the console they own. They don't need all consoles to be "true gamers" all you have to do is appreciate video games, and how awesome they are. Also, respect other peoples consoles(not saying you aren't)
Have you ever played Ni No Kuni? I think that Tales plays very similar to Ni No Kuni except for it is the humans doing all the fighting. There are no familiars to catch.
thats true, i bought 2 ps vita Hatsune Miku edition in Japan last year and sold my other one to my friend here in canada for $2,000 last week. Profit earned: $1500 ^^
what i dont understand, why are the top comments are being off topic to the video. Aren't we suppose to talk about tales of xillia, the collector's edition, the figurine, the soundtrack, the art book, and collin moriarty, the lucky bastard who got a chance to unbox the collector's edition first than us? what a lucky bastard ._.
No, it's an action RPG as you can see here. (short battle showcase) /watch?v=8Tjy-1DQA2g Managing your party members may or may not count as strategic depending on how you play the game though
God Dammit when I started to think I should pre-order the import of Tales of Hearts R for Vita this shows up.... so what now Tales of Hearts R or Tales of Xillia?
![Lp. Сердце Вселенной #60 РОЖДЕНИЕ ЛОЛОЛОШКИ [Финал] • Майнкрафт](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/YoR0pAV9FVQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Wow. That one the nicer detailed statues iv seen come in a collectors package.
"Followed by one of my favorite games of all time, Tales of Destiny" YESSSS!!! My favorite Tales game, and in my top 5 games, love that game!!!
Right? Though, I didn't go well in depth with it. I just put all the stuff to all the characters, but I should have chosen different jobs for them. Some of the characters are hard to know which job they're perfect for. Well, at least for me.

Clean, organized, and interesting unboxing. Good job Colin and video team.
I am currently playing Tales of Grace F. Cannot wait to get my collectors edition of Tales of Xillia!
Pre-ordered this collector's edition and was excited to play the game, but then I realized that Dragon's Crown was releasing on the same day. It's going to be tough juggling these two games around before college starts again.
I love unboxings, keep them up IGN and he only knows everything...Moriarty!
TOX will be a masterpiece i am an old fan of the series and i was very happy to see the unboxing cuz i wanted to see the back of the package ,it's outstanding ! in every single of the box there is art ! that's the box i wanted ,, of course i pre order this since forever , i can't wait ! just 6 days till the release of my favorite series
The art, music score, story, characters and overall experience plus satisfaction upon completion.
Yeah, I have it. It's worked. And the DLC"s already out in the PSN.
That was the costumes from Collector's edition for US as well, but I was wondering if the limited edition one had the Stahn and Cress costumes or something else.
I got lucky with my CE pre-order. I went to the store to pre-order mine but the store clerk told me that he didn't know if you could give me one since he had just received them that day.

Also, looks like a couple of characters have their names changed:
Jiao is now "Jaio"
Jilland is now "Gilland"
Musee is now "Muzet"
Can't wait for the English voices of Wingul, Presa, Jaio, Gilland, Muzet, Ivar, Celsius, and Maxwell.
Thumbs up for Tales of Xillia! And Xillia 2 and Symphonia Chronicles!
Yeah, I pre-ordered mine because I just wanted to get hose two DLC costumes for Milla and Jude.
The website is for the european collector's edition, and it's about 25% more expensive if I were to buy it through said website.
Tales games always have such great soundtracks as well as artwork, I'm looking forward to reviewing the game when it comes out.
cant wait to pick this up on tuesday!!! been waiting all summer for this game. should definitely keep us busy until Tales of Symphonia Chronicles HD and Tales of Xillia 2. And please God Almighty let these games sell exceptionally well so we can get the Tales of games for the Vita. That would be fucking amazing

Hmm, should have zoomed in more on that figure so we could see the details better, ign. Oh well.
Basically the one that's buying the Collectors edition gets profit, you can get the figure and sell it on ebay, heck same concept with the Championship Riven Skin in League of Legends
Me want now! Wish I had the money to get collectors edition. That Milla statue looks so sick.
It's only a few more days since you will get it, right? I'm in Europe, so I don't really know the specifics of the North American release, but it shouldn't be too long...
i had to cover the screenwhile you went throught the art book cause i wanna see it myself when my CE arrives lol

He forgot to mention that it also gets the costume DLCs. Maybe he didn't, since the other edition also gets them.
this is the best day of my life!!!! i just got my Tales of xillia collector's edition today!! i can finally die with happiness.
Will be picking this up next week.
The special edition looks amazing;o
Though I wonder how much it will cost!
The ending wasn't up to the standards to the rest of the game? I want to play it, sounds like a fun FF game.
If you guys want the CE I would recommend Bestbuy and Target have them.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing that you don't care about the statue, I'm just making the point that the reason people will be selling this on in a couple of years for massively profit is because that statue is there.

@Tlrom11EM I didn't pre order this on but I think it's on the namco bandi website
It's actually Ex-illia if you go by the original Japanese pronunciation, but the intended one should be "Zillia" because the creators wanted it to be similar to the word "zillion".
All I'm wondering is if the collector's edition will have the DLC costumes that the Limited Edition has.
I agree.
Probably when Xillia 2 is released in the West, IGN and other reviewers are probably going to criticized the reused environments in the game, along with the short length.
omg i cant wait for this! im playing tales of graces right now and im sooo ready for this!
that's wasn't on the minus. don't assume that was the case just because he off hand mentioned. on that note you could argue the voice acting(milla) could of knocked off that point. I ignored that though, milla is good and if she came off emotionless then she did her job voice acting milla. but 8 is still good, ignore other game scores as if they compare to this one.
God the humanity! Easy on the unboxing bro, just tearing it up like a savage!
He means the whole package, as in you buy the collector's edition, put it in your closet without opening the box. Meaning NOT USED. Most collectors won't buy it if it's been opened.
And about the WIZARD EDITION Ni no Kuni, that was the collector's edition of Ni no Kuni. Lots of people are willing to pay extra for something collectible that they couldn't get their hands on earlier.
And who cares about how much it is?They'll sell it for more than they bought it, making a profit.Exact price varies.

If I wanted something like that, I would get a Mieu/Tokunaga/Corrine plushie or one of the character's weapons or something. I'm sure you could buy that somewhere else, but *shrug*.
So which person is better to start out with? From what I've seen, their battling styles don't seem all that different.
well it's different from what western rpgs do. and jrpgs usually have a complex storyline depending on the game.
tales of graces was 2009 actually but you are right about the others
Tales of Xillia's story itself is really awesome follow up with the sequel or Tales of Xillia2.
Where'd you pre-order it? I have been trying to find a place that has it in-stock, but can't find one. Any help? That is, of course, if you live anywhere but Europe.
would have liked it if you were able to choose either jude or milla as a action figure
I'm glad I managed to preorder this now.
This game will have a lot of DLC costumes weapons gold etc in playstation store. I've played the Japanese version of TOX, imported it while back and they have tons of interesting costumes and other stuff but I couldn't buy any since its Japan account.the US version of tales of graces f had DLC too
Just pre ordered Tales of xillia 2 collectors edition at Amazon canada. I am so looking forward to have it on August 19 2014.
Pre order now, before its too late.
Colin did say he was enjoying it, but it was a pretty offhanded remark, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
In the pictures her head was up, not looking down. Is this statue adjustable, or is Namco false advertising?
Milla's hair colours are the same as her elemental powers... Wind, water, fire and earth XD Best character design ever!
also the job class system in FFXII is amazing
@Tltom11EM I'm might get it later like months so the price drops and more are available I'm getting normal edition now
I can't believe that this game is already 2 years old in Japan and they already have Xillia 2.
linear storyline with actual characters and a traditional battle system that appeals to old school gamers
Out of interest, do you have to play the other Tales games before this or is it like Final Fantasy where it doesn't matter? :)
Oh man, shell look really perfect next to my Conner Kenway statue after i get this game
Wow he said that he is 20 hours in the game and he is loving it!
wasted no time with my pre-order. Limited to 10,000 worldwide incase anyone was wondering. prices at £79.99 here in the UK. I'd guess that's around $115 in the states?
I wonder if the story changes depending on who you choose\
Can wait to pick it up tomorrow
True gamer enjoy the games they love and don'T argue about how many consoles they have or what console is the best
I'm playing Tales of Xillia 2 now... The game is soo awesome... One of my best Tales games ever XD
He gets the copy for free, so he just doesn't care about being cautious with the packaging. Basically all IGN reviewers do it like this since they've become spoiled when it comes to unboxing.

you can pick up the original Persona 3 for the VITA? plz reply because I want to play it but don't want to play the portable version
I'm glad I have this paid off tales of xillia collector edition
Only English pal. And the voices aren't that bad. All the Tales games that came out in the West all have good voice actors.
I. NEED. THIS. Can't wait for mine to arrive :D
True gamers appreciate the console they own. They don't need all consoles to be "true gamers" all you have to do is appreciate video games, and how awesome they are. Also, respect other peoples consoles(not saying you aren't)
Soon to be in my hands hopefully!!
I agree with you there, different consoles all have great games, but I must admit that the 360 really does only have Halo unfortunately...
nice statue already preordered 8 days!
cant wait to play as you in 2014
Kinda get annyed when you get a normal game case when you get a special/limited edition... i like the steel case ones lol
Have you ever played Ni No Kuni? I think that Tales plays very similar to Ni No Kuni except for it is the humans doing all the fighting. There are no familiars to catch.
I played tales of grace f for months. Their is so much to do in that game :)
So happy i have the collectors edition paid off......just one more week omg my body is ready
Nice unboxing I can't wait to get my copy love rpg games
thing is HUGE (box). tales of series is my 3rd favorite rpg seires behind smt & Ys all are fantastic series :).
thats true, i bought 2 ps vita Hatsune Miku edition in Japan last year and sold my other one to my friend here in canada for $2,000 last week. Profit earned: $1500 ^^
a BEYOND is never out of the place
what i dont understand, why are the top comments are being off topic to the video. Aren't we suppose to talk about tales of xillia, the collector's edition, the figurine, the soundtrack, the art book, and collin moriarty, the lucky bastard who got a chance to unbox the collector's edition first than us? what a lucky bastard ._.
Getting this for birthday so hyped :D
No, it's an action RPG as you can see here. (short battle showcase) /watch?v=8Tjy-1DQA2g Managing your party members may or may not count as strategic depending on how you play the game though
I can't wait until I pick up my copy of this :D
Ready for next week
A true gamer owns every console and plays every game released.
Buy the special edition only if you're a super hardcore fan, if not you're better off with the standard edition.
Dragon's Crown and Soul Sacrifice for the Vita are epic as fuck.
If it's any consolation, I consider you to be the truest cookie that ever crumbled.
God Dammit when I started to think I should pre-order the import of
Tales of Hearts R for Vita this shows up....
so what now
Tales of Hearts R or Tales of Xillia?
I don't even care about the unboxing, i watch this because Colin is fucking awesome. BEYOND!!!
