Not sure how long it's been available, but Tales of Vesperia is up for pre-order/pre-load on Switch (in NA) and the file size is 12.8GB, which is significantly less than the Xbox One version.

I'm guessing that all the anime cutscenes + voice audio is uncompressed now
Xbox 360 was limited by the DVD. The version we're getting is based on the PS3 version.
Didn't the PS3 version have more voice acting and added stuff in general? Probably why it's bigger.
Dumb question: is this game any good? I don't know anything about the series.
I liked Xenoblade 2 and Octopath and Ys8, is this for me?

Did they go back and record for this release since the PS3 version was Japan only right? Or is it just the old English from the 360 release and the added Japanese from the PS3?
Yeah, I think you'll like it. I'd say it's the only Tales game that's truly excellent.
The good news for physical buyers—which I think Bandai Namco had confirmed already for all regions, but now we're sure—is that everything will fit comfortably on a 16GB cartridge.
It was an amazing game in a time where console JRPGs were few and far between, but today? Not so much.
It is still my favorite Tales of... game, so there's that.
I think they recast everyone for the newly-recorded lines, but left the only dub for everything else.
Hmm, I hope the two sets of voices don't clash too much or they offer an option of using only the old audio (and silence I guess? for the new scenes)
It also only had the Japanese audio and wasn't remastered in any way.
It's odd to put it up so early...then again, Smash was up for pre-load weeks before release, too.
Oh, that's interesting. Maybe it's only Nintendo then? The holidays are also upon us.
Physical for me with this one, I'll have them all stacked next to each other for 360, PS3 and Switch physical releases.
Do we know if the skits are voiced? Dawn of the New World had most if not all skits voiced which was so cool. Not to mention it introduced the modern motion capture animation in cutscenes. It's so weird how it did things that the obviously high-budget Vesperia didn't do.
I thought Yuri was the only recast confirmed so far. The new footage we saw so far has Estelle, Karol, and Raven sounding just like their old selves.
Switch version has an early release? Thought the original release date is supposed to be Jan 2019.
That's certainly possible, I just assumed they recast the rest as well.
Skits are voiced.
Second point is mainly because 1) Vesperia actually isn't a particularly big budget game, and 2) its development predates various presentation enhancements they started making and only got into the games released after it.
I don't really understand how other games existing can make any singular game worse or better. That's just me though.
It's one of or the best tales game and actually had some charm which I can't necessarily say about some of the more recent ones.
Because there is an abundance of much better console JRPGs - big and small - available now than there was when this game originally came out.
It's a good game. Probably the best modern Tales of game (Phantasia is a personal fave) but I don't think it's better than something like Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Octopath or Ys VIII.
Nice!
I'm fine with the recast only if it's not as glaring as something like Disgaea 3

The game is huge. Textures aren't too bad but I'm talking about ton of music and cut scenes. More than Zelda botw which is around the same size. Nintendo/Monolith did compress them at least and it's impressive with the amount of content. This vs 3rd party devs that l dump games uncompressed on xbone and ps4 discs/online shops(partially because they can without costing them any extra money vs switch storage and cart sizes being more expensive).
Man, indy game pricing really spoiled people. Remember when everything cost $60?
