Trailers are a tease. Gameplay is where it’s at. After releasing the third trailer for Tales of Xillia this past week, Namco Bandai is beginning to put out pure gameplay videos. Today’s video shows off the game’s “Shop Build” system.
There are five shop types in Tales of Xillia: item shop, weapon shop, armor shop, accessory shop, and food shop. As you progress the game, the shop types level up and offer new items for purchase, and lower the prices of older items.
To level up your shop type, you can either buy items, or ‘build’ the shop. Building the shop means you’ll give materials to the shop and increase its experience points, eventually leveling it up. If you level up one weapon shop, the experience is shared throughout all weapon shops. The same goes for the other shop types.
Thanks, Andriasang.
