Tales of Vesperia "Definitive Edition" |OT| Yeah, that one....
- Thread starter Cornbread78
- Start date
So what was the deal with Patty? She said she will explain her backstory when shes ready but there wasn't anything until the end.
Is there another missable scene with her? The cutscene in the 2nd floor of the Necropolis of Nostalgia felt like I missed something inbetween.

So I finally started Necropolis of Nostalgia and it was nice to see point light dynamic shadow cast in the dungeon itself! Although I can't imagine playing this dungeon without a map... and Rita's blah blah blah Tidal Wave blah blah blah spam to hasten the progress.
Wait, Flynn knew Yuri killed a certain terrible knight with bright colored hair??
Nvm: I forgot about this scene(these scenes).

Just keep cooking until you unlock it. Flynn is a disaster with this as it took me dozens of battles to get him to unlock his new recipe...
Yeah i am struggling with this. I guess sleeping at the inn is faster way.
Patty is so much fun to play as. And so is Flynn. He's heavier thanks to his armor, but it's whatever.
Evade skills will increase his agility right?
Also, assuming Patty has the chef costume, I'm guessing she's the best cook in the party?

Already tanky characters dont benefit much from agility.
Yes patty has a cooking sidequest as well. Well she has multiple cooking sidequests.
I dropped flynn when i realized that his damage output is average compared to other characters. A good tank though.
End game; karol is the one hitting the hardest.
You need to cook if you care about some sidequest. If you dont care, fine.
You playing on hard? Because it's pretty challenging on hard.
Yeah, alright, I'll have Patty cook everything then. Much simpler than picking one of the group at random by trial and error.
I'm following this specific missables guide so I shouldn't miss those sidequests.
This is literally the only game I can think of that truly got better and better after the beginning.
After reaching Dahngrest I thought the plot, gameplay and party dynamics got really fun. Still, don't see the massive hype there was around Vesperia, but I do think it is a very fun game. It just doesn't manage to invest me in the same way other games, even in the Tales series, have done in the past. I blame it partially in the weak story, especially regarding character motivations, honestly. The Arc 1 hook only got good when it escalated, and the main reason the party is travelling all over the world in the second arc is just piss poor.

I'm playing this again 11 years later and it feels like nothing has really dated. This title feels timeless. It still looks gorgeous (possibly even more so), the battle system is still my favorite, in all it's simplicity, and the story while not perfect, is excellent.
Vesperia got better with time and I can appreciate it in new ways at 25 than I could at 14. I think my biggest appreciation this time around is the relationship between Yuri and Flynn. It's really well done. I didn't see it before, but It's so clear that Yuri wants to be, in some ways and to some capacity, like Flynn.

I think because tales has been crappy after the release of Vesperia. Yeah even berseria.
Even Bereria. And it really had the potential to be even better than Ves. It's missing something though. I might go back to in in the future, bc it's not bad, it's just personally lacking.
Specific characters unlock specific dishes, when you unlock them is completely random it can be in a few battles, of you can learn it even if the recipe you're cooking is mastered, it's random. Also yeah, Flynn is horrible at cooking but he can still unlock recipe even if he fail.
You should master all recipe with a single character, I picked Yuri because for the cooking contest in act 3 if someone has mastered every single recipes everyone gets their cooking titles.
I wouldn't say crappy but in term of content, whether its just costumes or side events none of them matched vesperia.
Flynn feels really half assed added as a playable character
Patty is fully developed as a character and joins the party at a reasonable time during the story, but Flynn comes and goes and you won't see him for like 10 hours at a time, and he only joins you for good at the absolute last possible minute...
Patty has to be the best JRPG little girl character I've seen. I usually find them very annoying, but Patty is great

Yeah flynn is a disappointment, also playvise since he lacks many skills yuri got.
I wish they had gone with a different voice, but at least battle style she is a lot of fun. Especially once you get some control over her randomness through skills.
Man, this final arc of Vesperia is sidequest hell
Yea I know it's optional but I've come so far with so many of them already

Yeah, it's one of the few times I felt like a game had too much content lol.
Aurnion
It's not so bad if I wasn't rushing to complete it before DMC5 comes out this week.
But man, I legit almost dozed off going through the motion lol
combat still hasn't clicked for me like a dozen hrs in, especially against flying enemies haha. The delays between any movement... it's a challenge. I know how to chain stuff, but the TP drain is heavy so I don't really do it against mobs haha. Still feel like symphonia team combat is lacking vs the CC based tales stuff, but I'm enjoying everything else so far.
I did just unlock over limit v2... no clue how to do this? How do I trigger 2 units to do OL? Game is mad bad at explaining these mechanics even in the battle book :S

On Switch it's the different D-Button directions for different levels of OL, I assume it's on DPad on other system.
Yeah, I also find the combat super clunky 35 hours in. The enemies have too many invulnerability frames (esp. when knocked down and standing up), the delays between combos are too long if you don't manage to cancel and combat against flying enemies is just plain annoying. Fatal Strikes are too inconsistent to pull off, but Burst and Mystic Artes are at least kinda nice.
Could someone give me a rough estimate on how many hours I have left in the main game based on the spoiler below? At about 46 hours now. I'm trying to plan my backlog attack, Haha. I am loving this game, though.
I just beat Alexei at Zaude.
yeah but I assume that's for 1 unit... but the game mentions you can trigger OL on 2 separate characters?
different directions do different amounts.
down is 1
up is all of it.
I'm not sure what left and right do :P
so when in this game does combat get broken? I recall this game you can pretty much endless combo everyone to death at some point due to some mechanics.
You have about 15-20 hours left depending on how many side quests you want to do.
I can totally rely on this. This game didn't lose appeal and I have appreciated it more as a grown adult (24) than I ever did as a child.
One thing I noticed is that it got easier but that's supposed to be normal as I have more experience with gaming in general.
Whoa! I've probably missed a bunch of optional content since I'm playing without a guide. Wonder if it is too late to go back to do any of the major side content?
it is. a ton of content is missable.
That being said a lot of the late game stuff is really hard unless you do new game plus, so I would just do a new game plus and do stuff that way .
but yeah. We are talking we added like 10 hours of story to the first 2 parts by following a guide and locating side story stuff.... there is a ton of side stuff you can just ignore to play the main story lol.
When you get all the proper skills for it, also depend on your personal skill at pulling off said combos. Considering you just got OL 2 it's not yet. Also check the battle book whenever you get a new OL, it tells you what to press to spend x amount of unit and yes, you can have multiple characters in OL on field at once.
Lmao, I feel like it's harder than when I last played it in '09. But I'm playing on Hard. The challenge is present and I love it.
Yo everyone. I heard the First Strike movie can potentially lessen the impact of certain moments in game. Yet I still would really like to watch it at some point BEFORE finishing the game. So, to anyone that played & watched: is there like a certain point in the game ("near the end" for instance) that I can progress to that would allow me to safely watch the movie with my niece without any kind of spoilers?
