Re: What are you currently watching (or reading or playing)?

Have you played any other Tales games or is this your first? I'm a big fan of the series, but I couldn't get into Vesperia because I could not make sense of the story.

Re: What are you currently watching (or reading or playing)?

I had some exposure to the Tales series thanks to that crazy crossover episode with Another Eden. So basically I was familiar with a handful of the main characters from four different Tales games, and they spoke of things unique to their own worlds that didn't stick in my mind. Except for Yuri Lowell complaining about how rich assholes were the same everywhere.

My understanding of Vesperia was that a great conflict took place in the distant past, and the story is told through legends. The conflict itself may have been a result of blastia, which were created by the Krityan race (though no longer in use by them). Blastia uses cores and other (spoiler) crystals that power them. In modern times, blastia is used to power machines, weapons, and city barriers to ward off monsters. The issue with the blastia is that it produces a substance known as aer (pronounced... air). In high concentrations, aer is disruptive to nature, living creatures, and the planet itself, and left unchecked, it can destroy all those things. There are regulators of aer, however, and a large part of the credit goes to another race known as Entelexia, which appear monster-like but are intelligent beings that speak the common tongue. The Entelexia absorb extra aer and process it in their bodies, producing a crystal of highly condensed aer called apatheia that is left behind when the creature dies.

Ten years before the story, there was a great war that was apparently fought between (I think) humans and Entelexia, and it resulted in devastation for all sides, and for the site in which the final battle took place.

Back to modern times, humans are divided between the empire and the union of guilds (though from what I understand, a handful of guilds are not part of the union). Guilds live free from the rule of the empire and are sometimes butting heads with Imperial soldiers. Between the empire and the guilds, there are a few corrupt players doing things their own way in order to gain power, but at the top, someone else is pulling the strings.

Blastia is not the only thing that produces large amounts of aer - there are exceptions to this rule. The Child of the Moon uses healing artes - special skills that are beneficial to mankind but destructive to Entelexia and the planet due to the aer being produced. The one pulling strings behind the scenes schemes to use the Child of the Moon for selfish reasons - I have yet to beat the game so this is not clear to me yet. But it seems they don't care about consequences (not that villains usually do).

Man, I hope I got that right.

You sound like you understood it better than me. Some of your explanation I was able to get from the game, but what made it fall apart was the same thing you're still unclear about, what the Child of the Full Moon was exactly was never clear. I got up to the night before the final battle without it being clear, but I remember being frustrated for the first time when they first told the "story" of the Child of the Fill Moon and (spoilers I think you've played already but I'll be safe) Estelle got really upset and ran off from the party and that was played like we were supposed to know why she reacted that way. We already knew she "is" the Child and some people wanted to kill her for it, but the party had already convinced her that nothing was her fault and swore they wouldn't let her die, so it just came off like there was some new revelation in the origin story that I totally missed.
