< | '''''Tales of Xillia 2''''' (<u>Japanese</u>: テイルズ オブ エクシリア2 <u>Hepburn</u>: Teiruzu obu Ekushiria 2) is the fourteenth main installment of the [[:Category:Tales (Series)|Tales series]] and is developed by the Namco Tales Studio. The game takes place after the events of [[Tales of Xillia]] and follows Ludger Will Kresnik of the Kresnik family that has the ability to infiltrate and destroy parallel dimensions. Since the spirit Origin is unable to support the abundance of souls, a famous company hires Ludger to destroy these dimensions to keep the world in balance. The game's central theme is ''"An RPG where your choices spin the future"'' (<u>Japanese</u>: 選択が未来を紡ぐRPG <u>Hepburn</u>: Sentaku ga Mirai wo Tsumugu RPG). | ||
Tales of Xillia 2 consists primarily of two major areas: the field map and the battle screen. The field map is a realistically scaled 3D environment where the player character traverses and interacts with non-player characters, items, or mob avatars. On the field map, character interactions between the party can also be viewed in the form of a sketch story; these sketch stories are referred to as skits and consist of animated portraits and voice acting. When coming into contact with a mob avatar, the environment switches to the battle screen, a 3D representation of an area in which the player commands the characters in battles against the CPU-controlled mobs. | |||

Known Issues
Dynamically change FPS cap
This title has a 60FPS cap during combat and a 30FPS cap for all other scenarios in-game. However, RPCS3 requires a few workarounds to dynamically switch the FPS cap between 30FPS and 60FPS,. Without these workarounds, users are forced to play combat scenes at half-speed. This issue is tracked in Issue 5243. The following workarounds are currently available:
- As mentioned in the Configuration tab, set Framelimit option to 60 and the Vblank frequency option to 30.
- Using a hacked build by RainbowCookie that let's users manually switch the FPS cap from 30FPS to 60FPS by pressing the analog stick L3 button without. To facilitate this, be sure to set the framelimit option to Auto.
