Re: Tales of Vesperia

That's quite the compliment. Still have yet to try the demo but I'll probably pick this one up down the road during a dry spell of games.

don't judge the game by the demo. it does not do the game justice.

Re: Tales of Vesperia

Why? Is the demo bad? Like I mentioned I have yet to try it but if it's a poor representation of the game I'll keep that in mind. If you don't mind elaborating...

the boss at the end of the demo is overpowered compared to your characters, which makes it extremely frustrating, since you're not eased into learning combat like you do in the actual game.

the demo takes place a few hours into the game, so the interaction between the characters makes no sense and seems silly and childish.

the demo isn't bad, it just seems out of context, as you have no clue about the story or the characters.

keep this in mind when playing the demo.

Re: Tales of Vesperia

I'm in a little above 59 hours now and I would also rate it highly.

My top 5 JRPGs:

1. Shin Megamai Tensei Nocturne
2. Final Fantasy Tactics
3. Final Fantasy 4
4. Tales of Vesperia
5. Shadow Hearts: Covenant

I'm not going to say it's in my top RPGs because that list would look more like...

Planescape Torment
Fallout 1/2
Baldur's Gate 1/2
KOTOR
etc...
...
Shin Megamai Tensei Nocturne

Damn good list. I'm a big fan of SMT/Persona RPG's.

Absolutely ALL true. If you just play the demo it's not fair to the game at all. I played a touch of the demo and thought that there's no way this game can be "great" or ever "good." Needless to say i'm an RPG nut and after reading over and over how good this game is, I broke down. I'm SO glad I did. I find myself waking up in the middle of the night and playing it! LOL.

Just beat the Goliath this morning, loving every minute of this game.

Re: Tales of Vesperia

I am currently 50 hours in and the game is still a blast to play. Tales of Vesperia has been such a nice time consumer while waiting for Fallout 3, Fable 2, and the new Madden 08 patch.

Game has just been a joy to play.

Re: Tales of Vesperia

I have a question. Is this game Co-Op?

[Cyros]

Re: Tales of Vesperia

Yup. Up to four people can partake in battle.

To do so, go to the artes screen and set the player to at least Semi-Auto.

Re: Tales of Vesperia

Still playing the game and I am loving it. I am at the Kritya homeland and about 28 hours in. Two questions.

1. How far do I still have to go?

2. When is a good time to do some exploring and sidequests.

1. Prob 15 - 20 hours of story

2. You have to do exploring and sidequests throughout the game if you want to see everything. If you haven't done much so far, you probably missed a bunch that you cannot go back to.
