Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition

me hace recordar mis días de xbox 360 donde lo terminé en una versión capada sin flyn y patty. juegazo

Okay so I just finished 109 hours. I liked it. The themes of justice and law were interesting to mull over just before they dissolved into familiar "we can do it!" anime tropes and the characters were fun companions to be around for that time. The combat system is relatively deep and fun to play for the most part, though a lot of the grind in this game comes from annoying and unavoidable encounters (that's pretty much par for the course in a JRPG though, isn't it?). I was happy to play but just as happy to be finished playing. While the game doesn't overstay it's welcome, by the end, with its narrative points spent, I was ready to move on.

very gud game but make sure to use a guide if you get lost easily like me

The. Best. Tales of. Game.

If you touch your keyboard once it'll make Yuri Controlled by the keyboard and mouse in combat, but not in the world, even if kb+m is set to player 2, and no you can't disable kbm OR player 2. You won't know if you have the correct controls until you go into a battle, so be prepared to alt+f4 to restart the game and skip cutscenes if you want to play this game with a controller. Also combat is stupidly clunky, you get a trickle feed of new things you can do in combat over the course of like 10 hours, and you're gonna have a terrible time in the early game because you have so few abilities, and can basically only do the basic attack into dash, which you can actually cancel with a dashing guard, NOT THAT THE GAME WOULD EVER TELL YOU THAT. Prepare to get lost, often. The game just hits you with a story beat and then you don't really have a clue where it is, or where you need to be to trigger a cutscene for progressions, you just kinda aimlessly wander until you find what you're looking for by accident. The music is fine, the story is fine, the characters range from meh to ok, except for Yuri who is a great main character. I understand there is a lot of love for this game, and I intend to finish it, but I find myself struggling to boot this game up in my free time knowing the frustrations I'm about to endure EVERY SINGLE TIME.

One of the best JRPGs of all time.

I 100% recommend this game to anyone who loves the classic Tales of games, especially given the price the game goes for these days. If you're new to the game or the series, be aware that it takes a while for for the combat mechanics to open up and that the game can be played through multiple times.
