I will not lie, Hobo Hei was a definite consideration. I just didn't know if I was personally prepared for the level of trash (and likely slapping) that it would bring to the game, hahaha. Regardless though I'm really looking forward to playing here, I'd been looking at Empatheias for a long while.

Also that is quite a roster. I played Xillia and loved Alvin, though I still need to make my way through Xillia 2.
