Test Chamber – Tales of Xillia
If you read my review, you're already aware that while Xillia isn't perfect, it captures why I fell in love with role-playing games in the first place: party member interactions, finding treasure chests, and tense boss battles.
On this episode of Test Chamber, join our substitute host Jeff Cork (sometimes we let Reiner take vacations) as he breaks down RPG tropes with Joe Juba, intern Liz Lanier, and myself.
See some footage from an early portion of the game, complete with cutscenes and battles, where I show off the partner link function. We also discuss the Tales series in general and our new column RPG Spotlight, where we break down long established franchises for newcomers. Strangely enough, Tales was our first one.
Watch the video below to get a peek at Xillia.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
