Yuri's the best character the series has ever seen. He's so popular in the Tales fandom he's not even allowed to be voted for in fan polls anymore.
You ain't seen nothing yet, trust me.

What would really suck, and I've completely forgotten about this until now, is when I spend money on a weapon only to get it from a dungeon later OTL
Yuri is a fun main, but I think I like Luke more because of his character arc. I mean, watching him transition throughout the game was great.
Yuri is just a bad ass from start to finish. While that's not bad, I liked Luke's growth more.
I still prefer Vespy to Abyss as a whole though.

I just finished the first act. So far I am really enjoying it. It brings back the days of playing JRPGs as a kid. The cast is great although the story and world haven't yet grabbed me just yet, at least not in the way Symphonia did back 15 years ago. This is off my memory but I remember Symphonia's world being more gripping right away. You got a sense of the larger plot and the larger world earlier on. I think Vesperia is just now just starting to have more interesting world building. The use of generic names doesn't help much. The Empire and the Guild don't feel that fleshed out. How much of the world does that Empire control? Are the guilds just based out of that one city? Are there other nations? Those are the questions I have 10+ hours in. The end of the first act has made things more intriguing though.
Sigh, I kinda feel Namco needs to be called out for this, as this isn't the first (or second) time modders have had to fix their PC releases of Tales games.
Kaldaien working for free fixes the issue in less than a week... how does such a huge company tolerate these kinds of mistakes (repeatedly) within their own QA standards?
On the other hand though, I'm just glad we even get Tales games on PC these days.

I want to get this since I've never played it before, but with KH3 right around the corner I have no time for it
Btw, does this have co-op on Switch?

Yes, but you need both joycons or a single controller per player. Single joycon play isn't supported.
Hey guys I just realized this edition has crazy game breaking dlcs such as a ton of Gald and a lot of EXP gain. My question is, if I use it once, can I use it in further playthroughs? Should I use it sparingly because of that or, like other tales games, the levels will be carried over on NG+?
Edit: also, will this lock me out of trophies?
Thanks.

Yeah, I love how despite constant teasing, Yuri is always building up Karol's confidence.
Unless they changed how the DLC works from the 360/PS3 version (I'm quite sure they didn't), you can use the DLC boosts once per playthrough, so they should work fine for New Game+, even if you used them for your initial playthrough.
Yuri's Samurai cotume ia so badass; will be using that outfit for the rest of the game
kinda regret claming the free DLC; put the game on easy street..turned it up to hard to give me some challenge.

The VA switch is a little less obvious when listening through my monitor's speaker, and way too obvious with my ear piece lol
The main generic enemy battle music changes for each act though. It's pretty obvious unless you have the game on mute.
This game is giving me life man, just to talk about Tales let alone ToV in 2019 & on Nintendo Switch is honestly a dream come true. This is without a doubt my favorite JRPG of all time while Tales not being my favorite series in particular I fell in love with game due to the skits initially back then and now having played 10 games in the series this is the best bar none, sure combat is iffy but it gets GOOOOD. If this is your first time playing? Congrats.
Got it yesterday for Switch the presentation is damn solid, sound, visuals, cinematics.
I barely played it for a hour, couldn't get into the flow of the game, too much text... I couldn't even explore freely without being dragged out in a story element and forced to seek a path... I guess I'm too early in the game.

You used them at the begining? That's too bad. I will use the free level ups for the endgame stuff so that I can save myself the grind lol
I must say than in general, I find Symphonia story better than Vesperia. I can't remember any WTF! moment in Vesperia, and Symphonia has a lot. But I think the character relationship grows better in Vesperia. And I like how they tell little stories troughout the battle victories (the Vesperia celebration, Stelle and Repede friendship, Stelle jealousy over Judy).
So it's not only the Switch version then, it's middly annoying but can't see it take me out of the game.
As far as I read on the Steam forums, it's also present in the PS4 version. Dunno about X1.
Kaldaien said that bamco programmed multicore scheduling the wrong way. Not only that but ingame MSAA support is broken.
Ooof has a hard crash on Switch undocked, thought my Switch was completely done for. I put it in sleep mode during the Patty scene in the mansion and it wouldn't come back on from sleep mode, thankfully I just had to hold the power button for 12 seconds and got it back up.
Just unlocked Rita, I am pretty OP though even on hard mode because I did a +5lvl +300k gald and then synthesis items. Was able to synthesize some pretty OP weapons and armor early on. I'll have to weapon switch anyway though for skills.
There was a big update (220mb or so) day 1, do you download it?
I do think ToV is very basic with lore and world building, but I think characters and story make up for it.
To be honest, replaying this is a breath of fresh air considering I've come from the Trails series which can be very overwhelming at times with all the terminology.
Is the battle dialogue important in any way? I'l started playing with Japanese audio and during Zagi's battle they wouldn't shut up, with no subtitles. I really didn't want to play with an English dub but I might have.
Please add in-battle subs, Namco!

It is mostly flavor. A lot of "Wow, he's batshit!" and "Kill, kill, my blade is hungry!"
Go to the Synthesis menu and then hit the trigger buttons to switch to different categories.
Do the DLC's break the game? I hate stuff like that. Even if I don't use it, just knowing it exists and messes with the game progression sucks.
Just don't use the free level and gald ones. Otherwise it's just material for synthing gear and costumes.
Finally dug into this a bit last night. Played it on the 360 years ago but never beat it. I played about 20 minutes with English voices and then restarted with Japanese dialogue - much better.
Looks fantastic. Excited to play more of it this weekend.

Is there a way around this Gattuso or do I need to defeat it to continue with the story? I'm level 13 and the party is getting absolutely demolished. Pretty frustrating.
After the first boss in the castle which took numerous attempts, then finding standard fights not too bad, it's annoying to come up against another boss who just seems like such a massive difficulty spike. Is this how the game is in general?

Worst case scenario: Knock it down to Easy difficulty. He's still not easy on that difficulty either, and you miss out on gaining any Grade for the battle, but it makes things more manageable. Also, set Rita to Fireball spam, or control her to make sure that she does.
At level 14, Yuri learns Destruction Field, a fire elemental Arte. Gattuso is weak to fire, so between that and Rita's Fireball (disable all her other spells), he should go down more easily.
Concentrate on defeating the minor wolves first. You can also lure Gattuso near the flowers and they'll stun him when attacked.
