Enjoyed this game so much, I hunted down all the gigantos. I played the old Phantasia, Symphonia, Zestiria, Berseria, and this is definitely the best out of the bunch, truly worthy of its reputation. The story is as usual kinda convoluted, but the characters more than made up for the story. The bond of the group is the strongest I have seen in the Tales games i have played. The battle system is just nice, not so hard, not overly complex as later games like Zestiria and Berseria. Music is kinda lacking compared to other JRPGs. Some boss fights have surprising difficulty spike, but you can easily lower the difficulty. Overall, this game is a must play if you like JRPGs.

I LOVE THIS GAME. This is was my first Tale series game I've played and fell in love on the Xbox360. it has some noticeable issues but the goods was so good that it stopped mattering to me

Tales of Vesperia is one of the peak Tales of flagship titles, but it can't be denied that its age shows. I consider it one of the stronger entries storywise, with its semi-environmentalist message and well-developed main and side characters. That said, anyone who has played the newer Tales of games before trying this one will have to get used to a significantly less fluid combat system and a much clunkier game overall. I'd recommend this game to everyone who is already a fan of the series. As for everyone else, consider how much clunk you are willing to put up with for the sake of a good story, because you will need to bear with it for about 70 hours at least.

Definitely a fun game, but it has some major weak spots, and I really don't understand why so many people claim this is the best in the series. Most characters were really good, combat pretty fun, ending was unsatisfying. (7/10)

While not the kind of game to blow your mind or single-handedly turn you into a JRPG fan, Vesperia is a quality experience that aged pretty well, and it probably deserves to be consistently mentioned among the best entries in this long-running series. The story doesn’t do anything groundbreaking, but for the first 2 out of 3 acts it’s a solid, well-paced, eventful adventure that manages to avoid many of the genre’s overused tropes. All parties act consistently and without needless drama, while the twists, despite being largely predictable, add some spice to the narrative. There’s also an unnecessary 3rd act with a very non-antagonistic antagonist and a number of painful speeches about friendship, but thankfully, it doesn’t last long enough to ruin the overall impression. Better yet is the main cast: a highly likable group with complementary temperaments and great chemistry throughout. The most pleasant surprise to me was how chill and reasonable these people tend to act. It’s like the writers took your typical character archetypes but forgot to include the annoying parts, leading to some refreshingly tempered personalities. There’s one particular moment where Estelle, a classic goody-two-shoes main girl, confronts the MC Yuri about his rather unorthodox actions, which I was sure was about to be turned into a round of high-pitched interpersonal drama, only to watch them work out their differences in seconds like calm adults. Another great example would be the relationship between Yuri and Flynn, which practically begs for some typical tragic "childhood friends turned mortal enemies" development… except that no, the gigachads manage to carry their friendship through thick and thin, and the way they deeply respect each other despite rarely agreeing on ideology is downright inspiring. The combat seems to be at a sweet spot in the series where it’s not too restrictive to hinder basic fun but also not overly accommodating to allow button mashing. Unlike many modern JRPG titles, it smartly withholds the best parts until much later, like eventually tripling the number of base attacks for Yuri’s combos, leading to a very satisfying sense of progression (at the price of a tad underwhelming start, perhaps, but still). No two skills are exactly the same, and most will leave you in a slightly different location in relation to your target, so positioning has to be carefully considered at all times. Nothing will prevent you from making a useless combo where you just awkwardly attack thin air, but nothing will stop you from roflstomping overleveled enemies with an abusable chain either. There’s a LOT of depth and room for experimentation here, so much that you could probably spend another 100-200 hours beyond 100% and still come up with new interesting ways to fight. Trying to learn every single playable character can be hit-and-miss, but there are some really unusual gems here, like the unruly but rewarding air-juggler Judith or that awesome RNG madness called Patty. The visuals are a pleasure to look at: lush colors, smooth bloom filter and simple but effective environments. It’s interesting to compare Vesperia to something like Falcom’s newer games, which are full of the most randomly outlandish outfits, because this dev team clearly had both the talent and budget to do professional, consistent character design even as they followed the same bold anime style. Getting all achievements is quite a laundry list, but it’s a well-balanced laundry list, with no single thing being too tiresome and all of them combined into a decently varied process. I usually run away in horror from progress-bar-filling activities of such magnitude, but checking these boxes felt manageable and, at times, actually more interesting than the main story. The rumors of Vesperia being the king of missables also appear to be exaggerated (they might have made the windows more lenient for the Definitive Edition?): I had no problem getting about 90-95% of everything just by regularly checking nearby previous locations, while the remaining 5-10% can be conveniently combined with the series’ staple NG+ run anyway. The exceptional Berseria is still in a league of its own, but if you already covered that and want more Tales experience, then Vesperia is a worthy next pick to play or maybe even fully complete. P.S. There are some noteworthy bonus audio drama materials for Vesperia, like a two-part Raven’s backstory or a companion piece to the anime prequel film where Yuri and Flynn take their knight exam. The best one, though, is a short comedy sketch called "Chronicles of the Drifting Fiertia" ([url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pp0m2IGstHU]p1 , [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAb8_kMe0G0]p2 ). You should listen to it after beating the game; it’s hilarious and just makes you appreciate the cast’s pure charm all over again.
