I'm pretty much with you on most of the characters, what Vesperia DID have going for it was the improved battle system for one. While I still die a little each time I have to read the name (seriously? EFR-LMBS?) it was a lot of fun (despite how broken some elements were... well nearly all tales games suffer this any way). But I did think they did a good job with the world construction, even though its pretty standard practice for (most, mainstream) tales games to include competing world powers, malfunctioning world element, marginalized groups oppressed by another, friendshiiiiiip... and that's why I love all the games so much.

But bamco can go eat a dick for releasing the game like they did on the 360 and the ps3. Yeah, I'm still mad.

Yessss, the battle system was glorious, except I prefer the Overlimit method in TotA to the one in ToV. x_X I STILL can't figure out how to use goddamn Mystic Artes in ToV, if you even can at all, and it bothers me that all of the party members just share ONE Overlimit meter, versus each character having a second one. -sigh- Oh well. At least there's Repede. :/

And yeah, Bamco really does like to be infuriating with games and releases and whatnot. Just like how the PS2 version of Symphonia had so much extra content, INCLUDING a fight versus Kratos, Mithos, and Yuan all at the SAME TIME. Arrgh. Not to mention how the producers of TotA stated that THEY KNEW WHO IT WAS AT THE END, THEY KNEW WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS LUKE OR ASCH OR LORELEI OR SOME OTHER KIND OF FUSION, AND THEY PURPOSELY LEFT THAT OUT. ARRESAGJKDLS;AG;SAGJEA!!!!! So frustrating!! I'm hoping they include the REAL ending on the 3DS version, and that they LOCALIZE that version, but honestly I know I shouldn't have my hopes up, because . . . well, this is Bamco we're talking about. ><

But still. Frustrating beyond belief, so I know how you feel on that. >

What I kind of didn't like about ToV's overlimit was that 1) I could never get the "use 1 bar, 2 bars, or 3 bars" right and would just end up wasting them all like a dummy (but it was seriously confusing!) and 2) the fact that repeat OL rita + meteor storm = a very, very quick game

I'm pretty excited for the 3DS port, despite the fact that NA or EU will most likely.. never see it (like that layton / gyakuten saiban crossover game. Damn, I'm mad about that too)

They pulled the same shit for wii owners with Tales of Graces. Seriously, I think they get their rocks off on pissing on their fans in japan.

Sorry to jump in, but you know that Tales isn't making all that much money? Heck, porting it to a sony system is probably their way of covering their losses since most rpg fans own a ps3. I mean I used to be super mad troll back in the days when Rebirth wasnt translated (though it wasnt a great game to start wtih) but I don't think Bamco is sitting there laughing at the plight of the poor international Tales fans. And actually Nintendo gives a lot of gaming companies incentives to make games on their system.

And I've played both symphonia versions and it was pretty much the same thing. I felt more like they were trying to hype it on the ps2 system to be like "PLEASE BUY IT WE NEED MONEY".

I know they (tales studio, afaik) are way into debt, and it makes me sad because I really like their games. And I understood when they did it with symphonia, because that was more of 'here are some exclusive extras, buy it please" but I feel Vesperia was almost inexcusable- even though the evidence that Patty existed ever since the 360 version is circumstantial, I feel like it was pushing it to leave out 2 playable characters from one version of the game to the next. Symphonia on both consoles was largely the same. Releasing the 'beta' as some people call it on the 360 and then the ps3 version just seemed... I don't know, it left a bad taste in my mouth.

I havent played the 360 version (lack teh xbox) and I'm still charging through most of the ps3 one but my friend who finished the 360 version basically recalls it the same way as I play it.

I don't know if its actually the ps3 version is superior. Flynn doesn't even freaking join till the end permanently - I can barely regard him as a playable character. Patty's story is awkwardly put between dungeons and events to make it look like "hey! she's with you now!". Storywise and gamewise it's pretty much the same, I was using two walkthroughs, a Japanese 360 and ps3 one because I was shuffling through things I might have missed and they both recite the exact same things. Even the events are mostly identical. And the extra ones, barely add anything to the plot.

The battle system I cant tell, since I havent really played the 360.

I dont know, I just feel like the ps3 version was overhyped by bother the company and the fans to make the product seem so much superior.

I mean there's other companies that are like "we repackaged it! and now there's a new playable character!" so it's more of a marketing strategy than say, anything actually interesting to the story.

Somehow, I suspected they would do that with included Patty and Flynn. I don't know anyone who personally played the ps3 version, I've only looked at the list of add ons from the wikipedia page. It just seemed to me they added a lot on, some of it good and some of it kind of desperate. I am kind of jealous of the full voice acting, as a fan of the original voices.

I just kind of wish they had gone the route of "make one big, good, solid game, release on 2 platforms" instead of the usual "exclusive for a year, enhanced game for more popular console in japan" ... Honestly, I don't know which one would be more profitable for them, considering their current financial status.

There is the possibility they probably used the money from the xbox version to make the ps3 version, with extra bells and whistles. The gaming industry is evil like that because unless their name is Kojima, they need your money.

I like the voices bit though, it's like a huge luxury as opposed to back in the Destiny days when they would only talk in battle or grunt.

I like the trend on more voices (like skits, that was a really nice change in Vesperia) and... making 1/8 scale figures of male characters, haha. But yeah, it's a shame ToA never got an 'expanded' version... then again, I think that was one of the tales games that came out pretty solid to begin with. (For its time, sheesh, I can't believe it's been 5 years)

It's like when I was looking at the website and it was like 15th anniversary! Next Tales of for ps3! And I had the face of "WHUT" at the 15 years bit. Time flies.

The Flynn figure looks kind of awkward though :( Or maybe he's just always been like that lol.

Wow, 15 holy crap. I'm still pretty excited, can't really help it. (I don't even own a ps3... yet)

he DOES look a tad awk, but it's an improvement from the littler ones, I say (Also I love Alter figs...) Yuri's looks so good though. Dang.

ps3 prices are getting lower, (thank god) I remember when the price tag was enough to make me see stars. Though I didnt actually buy one until I had a steady job for several months :x (and I had to race to buy it before I accidentally dropped money on something more ridiculously expensive)

Alter figs are pretty well done (though that may be more for their work in making dolls with extra (or no) chest and ass)

I like the one coin ones, though I only bought one and it turned out to be Raven so I was satisfied enough :D
