Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition

Okay look, I know this is a very popular entry... but why? The gameplay is bad but that is the case with many of the older titles, so nothing new there. Now, the stories and characters. The characters are nothing special, the standout being Yuri and Flynn. In so far that I get why people like those two so much but... they really aren't anything special. Yuri is also supposed to be a more ruthless/dark Hero compared to other Tales protagonists according to many people but... he isn't. Like, oh no, he kills a few evil as ♥♥♥♥ villains after it has been proven that there is not other way to get rid of them. That is... nothing, other Mc's did more/worse. Now, he is not a bad protagonist and I like him a lot but he is not special compared to other Tales games who tend to have likeable Mc's as well. In total the cast is fine at best (Estelle being on the verge of being annoying) with Yuri being a positive exception. Because he does indeed have quite the bad boy attitude not normal for Tales Of Mc's which is quite fun to see. The Story though is just bad. First off, there are three acts. All three acts are essentially their own story with very loose connections only. That is already bad (the lacking connections part) but the game is also lacking a hook for much of it. Yes, there are other Jrpgs like Trails in the Sky, where you start of doing pretty much random stuff. But those games tend to focus on world building and you get the clear feeling that they are setting up a story, neither of which is the case with Vesperia. Far from being the best game in the series I would call it the worst and I have played most of them, hell I even played ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Tales of Heart r (which is btw way more fun that many people think, the translation just put many people off because it's well... ♥♥♥♥). Edit: I just remembered that Tales of Phantasia exists, which I would call worse but it's also really old so I would say that's unfair (no really, ♥♥♥♥ Arche).

전투 조작감만 적당했어도 할만했을것같다. 그러나 정말 최악이라 중도 하차한다..

Shining Fang! Shining Fang Drop! DRAGON!

Please Bring Tales of The Abyss to PC Bandai Namco. Vesperia and Abyss are the 2 Tales Of games on my top list. Love all the characters and their stories.

Очень неплохая RPG. Меня в начале оттолкнуло деревянное управление во время боёв. Но потом втянулся. Что мне сильно понравилось так это то, что игра сделана по всем канонам ранних японских ролевых игр. Тут вам и открытый мир, прокачка (гринд), сюжет о спасении мира и группа верных друзей. Так же игра цепляет некой наивной добротой, теплотой героев, но не всех. Ощутимый дисбаланс ощущения добра придаёт сам главный герой, он то отнюдь не добряк. Что кстати, придаёт свою изюминку в повествование разбавляя слащавых добреньких героев. Что НЕ понравилось так это боевая система, была бы она пошаговая (аля ранние Final Fantasy или Dragon Quest) то цены бы игре не было бы. Но это же серия "Tales of...", видимо тут боевая система сделана для тех, кто не любит пошаговые бои. А очень жаль... Бои здешние это действительно самая слабая часть игры.

薄暮浓云不见散，十年宵星仍璀璨。

good game, great presentation, but absolutely disgusting port, considering how smooth tales of arise was, this one prob is better off played on its original console

Overated. Not necessarily ''bad'', but doesn't make anything different so better spend time discovering other more original games. Very ordinary/life is better.

Worst tales game
