The pair, plus Jude Mathis (one of the original games main characters) fight a baddie who resembles Ludgers brother, and wake up massively in debt to the medical company that resurrects them. He ends up sneaking onto the train, and the journey proves disastrous (essentially as a means of teaching Ludger how to fight). Meanwhile, Ludger is about to start a job as a chef at the same station Elle is leaving from. She must get to the mythical land of Canaan by getting on a certain train. Proceedings start with the trials of a sub-character, Elle a cute but sassy little girl whose father appears to be gunned down in front of her. Visually, Tales Of Xillia 2 offers up the manga style that JRPG aficionados more or less demand, as well as the moderately bonkers storyline, which majors on fantasy, plus the occasionally steampunkish settings, are thoroughly in keeping with how the game looks. Story-wise, it takes place a year after the events of the original game, and stars the teenager Ludger Kresnik as the main protagonist (although he assembles a band of like-minded characters as the game progresses).
