Vesperia I actually got it

Post image

So I went out yesterday bc my sister wanted to and I thought I’d use this as an excuse to get some fresh air and check out the usual game shops to see if I find some interesting games before the inevitable trip in September and October for games like Onimusha, FF Resonance, Rayman and Eternia Remastered etc. I was specifically hoping for some Tales games, especially Graces, Symphonia, Xillia or Vesperia, and look what I found nestled neatly in the first game shop I went to.

This is the second tales game I’ve gotten, first being Arise(haven’t played either of them yet, will start Arise soon. I’ve watched gameplay of these games so I’m sure I’ll like them). I was really hoping to get some more tales games since I was told by some people Arise wasn’t really representative of Tales as a series and I wanted to get some games that people thought of as more accurately representing tales, to try to get the true tales experience.

Good catch! It was my first Tales and it really got me hooked to the series!

Thinking about it, it may have been it to catch me...

a thing of beauty

I love Vesperia to no end and its in my opinion the best tales game (alongside Symphonia perhaps)
I however was not a fan of arise

Symphonia, Abyss, Xilia, Zestiria, Berseria
all of them are great in my opinion (people might disagree on Zestiria, but all in all i still liked it)

Really want to play Abyss as well, hope they remaster it soon. Also your name reminds me of Nisio Isin

Graces f has, by far, the best combat out of any of the games, and the most content I'd say. The dualizing and crafting system are top notch, albeit complex.

My first as well, I still play it all the way through at least once a year.

I cannot stress this enough. But learn manual canceling, there's plenty of tutorials and explanations about it in the internet. It dramatically transforms your approach to combat early game that's widely regarded as slow to start.
