Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition is well worth your time, the story and in particular the characters are some of the most fleshed out and unique individuals that you can’t help but grow attached to. The flashy yet deep combat system enhances what is already a fantastic JRPG. Any fan of the genre needs to check this out.

Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition may have audio issues and hide some of its side-content behind odd obstacles but it still shines as one of the best games in the franchise and one that fans of JRPGs should not pass up.

Tales of Vesperia was one of the best JRPGs last gen, and Definitive Edition is easily one of the best JRPGs this gen.

For the last several years, one of my New Year’s resolutions was “beat a Tales game.” I had several of the PS3 entries, including the remake of Symphonia, but they all ran together, so I tended to float away from them after 5-7 hours. Tales of Vesperia is the first Tales game that I’ve put significant time into since the original PlayStation, and frankly the Switch has made it so I can’t finish super-long RPGs without some sort of portability. If you’re looking for a jumping-in point for the series, Vesperia is the way to go.

First out on the Xbox 360 in 2008 as a less than complete version, Tales of Vesperia was subsequently released on the PlayStation 3 with additional content, much to the ire of the owners of Microsoft’s game console, although that is another story by itself. As a finished product, the game never made it out of Japan, but here we are, more than 10 years later with the definitive edition for Tales of Vesperia.

Remakes, remasters and ports are all the rage right now and it’s not hard to see why. Resident Evil 2 brought one of the 90s scariest games roaring in to the

Nevertheless, though, Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition excels in the places that matter most to Tales game, and in doing so earns the timeless adulation lavished on it by its fans. I can’t tell you if it’s the best Tales game, but it’s everything a Tales game needs to be, in order to be considered great.

With limited compatibility (especially in the west), it's been hard for Nintendo gamers to really get a grasp on the Tales series. Does Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition finally give us a solid grip now that it’s available worldwide for Nintendo Switch?Read More

Tales of Vesperia once started life as an Xbox 360 exclusive way back in 2008. It eventually saw an expanded port to the PlayStation 3. This version featured additional content but never saw a release outside of Japan. Now, a decade later, that expanded version has been released worldwide as Tales o
