ni ko kuni was really pretty ans had some nice ideas but the game was too easy for me overall and the story additions were meh. For me. XD A lot of people liked that game.
I do have a japanese version (even signed by Hideo Baba) but I couldn't get myself to play it since I can't stand Milla and didn't like the japanese VA. The english one is way better and I preordered the LE. The figure seems to be better than the one from the first game as well. Would have prefered the Kyun Chara Pack though. They got it for Symphonia, so why won't they do it for the other games! Well, maybe because most people prefer the bigger figures. I collect the big and good Tales of Figures (the ones of Luke, Yuri, Flynn, Zelos, Colette and Rita for example), so I prefer the chibis for LEs since they take up less place and the quality of them seems better than for those halfassed midsized ones... but ToX2 is said to be better than the first game. Also, about Zestiria... still not sure, if I should get it or not. The VA for the main char is notoriously known for being a bad actor. I'm currently playing another game, a VN, where he is the main guy and while doing his route, I continiously had the urging desire to throw my PSP against the wall. So... maybe waiting for the Western release would be a good idea...
oh man, you have a PS4... at least the good releases are starting to come out now. Has been a long time since console release. The only time I played on a PS4, was in our academy and it was Tomb Raider... the graphics... sooooo sexy. That dirt! Those particles! *drool*
