I still dont think they did a good job of balancing in Xillia 2. I think it has the best battle system in the series hands down everything considered but only Ludger is able to hit every weakness in a combo. The other characters cant and to even hit the ones they can they need link artes.
Yeah can't deny that ludger is beyond busted compared to everyone else and even compared to milla and jude. Power charge 2 can at least be used for a attempt to make a character's combo power hits that the enemy is weak to, but it still doesn't beat a character like ludger having easy access to every single element and enemies' weakness.

I actually did not mind the story mode thing of making you use certain characters depending on the chapter since it kind of pushed me out of my comfort zone to used all the characters at a decent level. (I thought the one story chapter with a team of ludger, jude, milla and rowen vs victor was fun/challenging as hell since you had to make jude, milla and ludger heals work lol. I remember making this old xillia 2 board post explaining that I had milla's arte usage for undine up to like 400 and so it could then cure status effects or something like that:

I would go as far as to say that ludger is the most busted tales of MC in the entire franchise. 48 artes spread across 3 weapon types (and the player can shortcut every single one of them at once thanks to 16 artes per 4 shortcut pages), a super transformation, and all of the best passive skills to equip via the rest of the party members because of the bond system. Only other MCs who felt that strong compared to others in their game is velvet and her break soul, and yuri with his overlimit shenanigans (but even in his own game he has some competition like with rita also making full use of the overlimit system).

Man I cannot wait for xillia 2 to get the modern port treatment so it can be played with no slowdown and at a better resolution.
