    A paper-based fantasy offers dozens of hours of quality entertainment, superbly written dialogues and countless memorable characters and moments. Tales of Vesperia is a safe bet. [Issue#294]

    Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition shows its age in some areas, but with its enjoyable characters, interesting story, beautiful aesthetic and fun combat, this is one game from 2008 that definitely still holds up in 2019.

    For all the missed opportunities, Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition perfectly catches the spirit of the series. Its biggest achievement is that it puts a great cast of characters front and center without compromising the JRPG-centric narrative style. Although it does little to refine the Tales formula, Vesperia is clearly a must-play for any JRPG fan, if not for the rather uninspired and predictable story, but for the characterization, great voice acting and more often than not hilarious conversations.

    Another great chapter of one of the most classic JRPGs franchises out there. Superb battle system and character recreation.

    Потрясающая игра. Отменный длинный сюжет, большой интересный мир. Только боевая система как и во всех tales of отстой. Отдельно хочетсяПотрясающая игра. Отменный длинный сюжет, большой интересный мир. Только боевая система как и во всех tales of отстой. Отдельно хочется отметить красивую графику - играешь как аниме или мультфильм смотришь. Жаль что после этой части bandai перестала делать такую картинку и в следующих частях графика выглядит отстало. Жаль. Жаль. Жаль. Expand

    Nunca había jugado a un Tales Of hasta ahora. El primero ha sido Vesperia y la experiencia ha sido buena. Estamos ante un JRPG con combates enNunca había jugado a un Tales Of hasta ahora. El primero ha sido Vesperia y la experiencia ha sido buena. Estamos ante un JRPG con combates en tiempo real, que para mí es lo que falla en este juego. La movilidad de los personajes a la hora de combatir no es muy precisa y menos a la hora de ejecutar habilidades llegando a fallar muchas veces. Cuando los enemigos son fáciles no hay problema pero cuando la cosa se complica puede llegar a frustrar. En cuanto a la historia, me ha parecido lo mejor del juego, larga e interesante con buenos personajes. El mejor: Yuri, el protagonista, un chico que cuando tiene que hacer algo malo, lo hace, a pesar de que no sea la opción correcta para sus compañeros. Gráficamente no es nada espectacular, con un estilo cell-shading anime sencillo que le queda bastante bien. El mapeado es un mundo abierto por el que vas viajando conforme avanzas en la historia,, derrotando enemigos y encontrando objetos, como en un JRPG de toda la vida. Después están las zonas explorables que no son muy grandes y que son lineales con algún que otro camino secundario. A pesar de sus limitaciones y que el combate puede no resultar tan satisfactorio como debería, por la historia es un juego que recomendaría. Le pongo un 7 porque me parece buena nota, que es un notable. Aunque este en amarillo no significa que ya sea regulero o malo. Expand

    I think this game deserves a 7'5. Not a bad game but nothing special either. In my opinion most of the Tales games are average games and thisI think this game deserves a 7'5. Not a bad game but nothing special either. In my opinion most of the Tales games are average games and this is one more of them. As always, voices are good but I miss more dramatic/emotional/touching moments in this story. In the first half of the game it's impossible to get lost but in the second part it can be tricky to know where to go with so many places and the map is not very helpful. Also, read the synopsis in the menu when you don't know where to go. Combats are good but repetitve. By the end of the game I was spending "light bottles" just to skip the combats because they started to be quite anoying. You can find this items or buy them. Also, before going to Tarqaron buy as many items as you can to use them in the final battle. Also, don't forget to improve your weapons in the shops and unlock the "titles" of your characters if you want to change their outfits. About the optional dialogues, just watch them when you feel to. Don't worry, as in all the Tales games they don't provide any useful information and they're totally skippable, so don't be sorry. In my opinion, there should be less characters and the game should be shorter or have more interesting moments. I'd recommend this game to rpgs ang anime fans.

    It took me a little more of 36 hours because I went straight to the main story. In my opinion it's better than Berseria although my favorite is still Tales of Graces F (and I played several Tales of).
