“A fantastic JRPG The combat is really good The graphics and artstyle are beautiful The story is also pretty interesting with very likeable characters Overall liked it a lot”
“I want to give this more of a "thumbs sideways", but that's not an option. Given that I got bored and couldn't convince myself to finish it after ~50 hours, I guess i'm going to go with thumbs down. The Good: - One of…”

“Pretty good game. 100% full achievement clear. I was pretty surprised by how good this game was in just about everything. The story / world / characters are amazing. The combat is hard but there's a lot to learn and…”
“Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition — 9.5/10 Vesperia isn't just a great Tales game — it's the peak of the series. Yuri Lowell remains one of the most compelling JRPG protagonists ever written: morally gray,…”

“Just finished this game and I’m honestly really glad I finally got to the end this time lol. I really enjoyed Vesperia overall. The story was engaging, and even though the visuals look bright and charming, it actually…”
“Hadn't played this one since the original came out on 360 way back in the day, so I was interested to see how it held up to my admittedly vague memories of back then. I recall it being quite strong, but it's kind of…”

“Recommended but be aware that there are fewer conveniences in this game than in the newer ones. For example the world map is useless at finding places you've been before, and I had to pull up a guide map to be able to…”

“it's good but this game doesn't support switch controllers for some ungodly reason,the second you get into a field battle everything stops working”
“classic tales game formula, I played tales of symphonia as a kid and distinctly remember loving it. This game so far is reminding me of it but the control scheme is certainly a little confusing and not quite intuitive…”
“I know that Tales is a famous series but still I don’t like Vesperia's combat system. It feels clunky and unresponsive. I understand that it has its depth but I’m not excited to learn it at all. Combat relies on manual…”

“I enjoy the story, characters, music, scenery, stylisation; I am comforted in the similarity to Tales of Symphonia from my secondary years. One immediate criticism I have is that the game quit on me when I got close to…”
“game fking crashes like CONSTANTLY.”
“I'll Go the RPCS3 route but not for this again, but just to listen to that song. and see how the controller works there, first it was stuttering with other card and i couldn't play this , now inputs are not working, I…”

“Another brilliant entry of the Tales of series. I especially enjoy how the goals of the story are very simple, very personal, then spiral out of control gradually rather than go straight for a 'save the world' quest…”
“Not for me, gave it 8 hours but the story was very boring and I only cared about a couple characters Gameplay was fine enough”

“Symphonia is still king but this one isn't bad Characters are all great and Three Dimensional, story feels more functional and is more of an after thought at times. Game is a walkthrough essential if you want to 100% with missible and failable quests; not necessary a bad thing…”
— a player, Steam review · 59 hrs played“How dare you Bandai... make such a marvelous game and not make any continuation to it... I love this game so much... and will play the older tales of series but I must say this is a must buy on sale. I just wish I get to see the casts older and how they're doing in life.”
— a player, Steam review · 71 hrs played“It’s hard for me to say this, but this was my third attempt to finish Tales of Vesperia, and once again I had to drop it after around 20 hours. I don’t enjoy writing negative reviews for games like this, especially because I don’t want to ruin anyone’s experience. But since I…”
