The latest issue of Famitsu magazine contains a precious few screens of Namco's upcoming JRPG Tales of Xillia 2. Some of these screens show Jude and Ivar, two characters that fans of the first game will recognize. The rest of the shots show an alternate form of Ludger Will Kresnik, Xillia 2's new protagonist. His alternate form looks really neat, but I find it kind of hard to really get excited about this game when I still can't play the first one.

Tales of Xillia will be available in North America sometime next year and Tales of Xillia 2 will be available in Japan later this year.
