Tales of Xillia 2 (Japanese: テイルズ オブ エクシリア2, Hepburn: Teiruzu obu Ekushiria 2) is an action role-playing game for the PlayStation 3 released on November 1, 2012, in Japan.

[2] It is the fourteenth core product in the Tales series and was developed and published by Bandai Namco Games.

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 Sentaku ga Mirai wo Tsumugu RPG (選択が未来を紡ぐRPG, lit.

Tales of Xillia 2 consists primarily of two major areas: the field map and the battle screen.

Killing all the mobs will yield experience points, items, and allows the player to return to the field map.

Dashing, standard attacks, and artes usage are also restricted by the "Assault Counter" (AC), a synonym for action points.

Under orders from her father to find the mystical Land of Canaan, Elle Mel Marta boards a train which is hijacked before its departure.

The train crashes and the resulting medical treatment from Spirius Corporation puts Ludger in debt.

Aware of the Kresnik family's ability to destroy parallel dimensions, Spirius CEO, Bisley Karscy Bakur, hires Ludger for this purpose since the spirit Origin can no longer sustain the abundance of souls in the worlds.

At the same time, Ludger searches for his brother, Julius Will Kresnik, who has been declared the train hijacking's instigator.

As Ludger works for Spirius, he is joined by the protagonists from Tales of Xillia in addition to Gaius and Muzét.

It is slowly revealed that the world's current predicament is a millennia aged trial arranged by the spirits Origin, Maxwell, and Chronos, as a test on whether humanity was worth preserving.

To reach Canaan, a Key of Kresnik must obtain five objects, called Waymarkers, from parallel dimension.

Years later, Ludger is the CEO of Spirius and meets Lara Mel Marta during a business deal.
