Igarashi discusses Order of Ecclesia/Judgment connectivity

“When you connect Order of Ecclesia to Judgment you unlock a couple of things. In Order of Ecclesia the level max is 99, but once you connect to Judgment the level max immediately increases to 255. Also, you unlock an item called ‘Queen of Heart.’ For the Wii version the main character from Order of Ecclesia, Shanoa, is unlocked for all modes. The new character Aeon is also unlocked in every mode except Story Mode. Also, some accessories will be unlocked.” – Koji Igarashi
