Tales of Xillia General [In Stores Now]

Got my day 1 edition today. Can't wait to start playing.

Does it matter which character you pick to start with in any way?

Edit: Oh sweet, I got the Steel book case even though they said it was going to be canceled for Europe. They took it off the store site and all.

 Spoiler

Holy pomegranate, that's amazing.

Got my copy today, I'm at Nia Khera now. Liking the story so far. I still hate TP and I can't wait until I get some of the TP restoring skills going, those should save me a lot of time just pressing X.

Jude has a really good basic attack. It's fast, and at least one of the chains hit twice, if I recall correctly.
Milla's novice spells cost very little. Combine that with the Magic & Artes skill, or whatever it is they translated it to in English (If you use a Magi immediately after its spell form, it costs no TP) and you save a decent amount.

Combo TP Support and Combo Mental Supply, whatever they are in the localization, help with TP costs a lot too.
