Oh, completely understandable . I tried ;PHaha. I guess we just have different tastes. "The more I try" is one of the few songs I remember but only because it really got on my nerves lol. "Person who conceives frenzy" was okay though!

nice, thanks!I'd say 50 hours roughly. My Steam counter says 66 hours, but I played on hard and had to grind a bit here and there (using speedhacks).
Vesperia is like a more modern Symphonia, I guess. The newer games have more fun combat, but the story isn't as weak. It just feels like a complete JRPG experience.
It's the same studio that ported Zestiria (among others).Finally. Thanks.
Hopefully this is more like Berseria/Zestiria port wise and not like Symphonia.
Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition (PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC) – Trailer
So... Tales of Crestoria will feature old characters from other titles placed within the world. When they mention how this game is "imagined as if it were a ground up mainline title reimagining the franchise for mobile," I was hyped. Now, not so much. Cool concept for the setting though, just like Tales of the Rays.

Have NAMCO shown Vesperia: DE playable at any shows? I just saw their Jump Festa lineup and it's not playable there even though it's only a month out from release now

Sooooo... Why is Tales of Vesperia considered one of the greatest JRPGs ? I'm on the verge of buying it, but I actually don't know anything about it (or the Tales of Series, tbh).
Thanks!I can't speak for others, but in my case it is due to a cast of great characters, an interesting combat system (that unfortunately got replaced in the following games), and a plot with enough hooks to keep me going.
The characters are definitely the best part of the game.
Vesperia was from an era where every JRPG protagonist was a 14-18 year old child that we get to see grow into a pseudo-adult, and decided to against that by giving us Yuri, a guy in his mid-20s with a sense of who he is and what he wants to do from the beginning.
Besides Yuri we do get some younger characters to fill the "coming of age" hole, and their stories are pretty good.
Alright, thank you :)Vesperia's combat system was the final and most polished iteration of the system first introduced in Tales of Symphonia.
Plenty of customisation in terms of artes (special abilities/magic), Vesperia also has a skill system (sorta like FF IX's, if you're familiar with it) wherein you can learn passive abilities from your equipment, which then allows for even further customisation of your characters' combat ability.
For the story, and I'm going to try and be as general as possible here, for fear of the great Anti-Spoiler overlords, it starts out with very little direction, leading you into a variety of smaller stories.
On their own each of these smaller stories serve to flesh out your party and their roles in the greater scheme of things, typically one member at a time.
A common criticism of Vesperia is that the overarching story is one of the weaker in the series, which I can sorta agree with, but I find that the smaller stories each have enough of a hook to keep you going until the overarching plot comes into view.
There is a console one in the works with the God Eater producer in charge. Don't worry. ^.^Crestoria isn't to be considered the next mainline Tales..... is it? Is there an actual game in the works? I can't remember a time this long without knowing one was on the horizon.

I'm not a fan of that font either, and I'm pretty sure the research hasn't found any difference in readability between serif and sans-serif fonts anyway. I don't know why remasters keep changing games' fonts when there's no apparent reason to.I've been checking out some gameplay from someone who got the Definitive Edition early on YouTube, and seeing that hideous font in the final version made me sad.
How could they go from this (X360):
to this? (PS4)
This happened to FFIX as well. I wish more studios would also remaster the font rather than just picking a default "readable" one when the original was just fine and added charm to the game. Especially games with lots of reading like this one.
Oh wow, you're right! That's pretty amazing, and even moreso that the option is still there. The default font from the original is gone, and Type C is just a bolder version of Type A (the one I complained about), but Type B seems to look okay:Vesperia had an option for three different fonts, so maybe the remaster will have different fonts too?
Despite buying most of the Tales games for PS3/4 (except Symphonia/Chronicles) I have yet to play any of them. Vesperia Definitive Edition just arrived in the mail. Should I start playing right away, or is there a 'better' way to start the series?
I see no issue with this approach, The PS3 exclusive tales can be a turnoff to many. I went from being hype for every tales games to oh its another Baba tales games again, guess I will get it once it's cheap.Vesperia is the peak of the series (if you ask me). Starting out with the best, might just lead to disappointment with the rest.

I was planning to play all/most of them eventually, I usually take this approach with series that I haven't played (much of). Main reason I will probably skip it for now is that I recently spent a lot of time with another JRGP (Last Remnatn) and I noticed I was't really in the mood for another lengthy adventure. So I will come back to it at some point, most likely after the PS3 games.I see no issue with this approach, The PS3 exclusive tales can be a turnoff to many.

Life is short;unless he really want to play every single one of them, i will say that starting from one of the better tales game won't be a problem.
So I am playing through Vesperia and enjoying it. I have only played Symphonia before it 15 years ago. I want to try out more of the Tales series. I have Symphonia on PC so I'm probably going to play that later this year. But I also want to check out some of the other games. Definitely not all of them. But at least the top ones. Which would people recommend? I'm leaning towards Tales of the Abyss on 3DS to complete the Team Symphonia holy trinity and Berseria which seems like the best modern Tales game.
What difficulty are you playing?I recently restarted Berseria after dropping it a couple hours in for the games released over the holidays and was basically looking for any tips people might have. The combat doesn't seem all that great so far but am I expected to pop off my R2 ability during every fight? It honestly seems like that's the only place my damage is really coming from. Also compared to Vesperia and Zestiria I'm also not really feeling the artes system in this and was wondering if it gets any better down the line.
Also I'm still early but should I leave cooking on auto? I feel like I'll blow through ingredients for meals on shitty little fights but I also want to make sure I continue to level it up.
I imported Vesperia and two months later the remake was announced. Now that I have my hands on Destiny DC we'll get that next, right?
