![]() ![]() ![]() Once you've effectively leveled your party to compete with the monsters at your current story placemark, you can truly begin to shape what happens on the battlefield. Strategists - Equiping the right mix of skills and mix-and-matching your teams in battle is where Vesperia truly shines in the gameplay department. There are so many areas to explore, so much loot to find and so many great monsters scattered across the world just itching to fight and help you level your characters. If, like me, you grew up during Final Fantasy's glory days, you will feel right at home with vesperia. From picking the formation your combatants use in battles all the way down to character's clothing changing when you equip new items, Vesperia is a dream come true for you customization freaks.Įxplorers - Vesperia takes it way back to the old school with a huge map, boats and eventually the almighty airship. In terms of customization, there are few RPGs that allow you to control so much of what happens in the game. Doing so grants you the abilities embedded in the weapons using blastia (Vesperia's less complicated version of Materia). As you level, you also gain action points that allow you to equip said skills even if you have moved on to using other weapons to learn their skills. On top of that, you also level your equipment by using it in battle. In short, leveling allows you to learn skills specific to your character. But again, that was because I didn't actually level enough throughout the game to make the best parts of the system available. I especially liked the lead character and the way the supporting characters balanced him out.īuilders - I didn't truly appreciate the leveling and customization systems during my first run with Vesperia. While the general storyline centers around the typical, 'let's save the world from ultimate destruction' theme that we can't seem to escape, Tales handles the execution with a very welcome twist. On top of the well-handled plot, you have what I consider to be some of the best lead characters and villains in the history of RPGs. From story elements to combat augmentations that allowed me to have more fun with the battle system, Tales of Vesperia was clearly made with completionists in mind.Īight, so I'll go ahead and step down from the ole soap box, jump into the category breakdowns and tell you guys and gals why Vesperia is one of the best.īookworms - I love it when games are able to properly incorporate humor into the plot. By completing Vesperia entirely, I came to realize just how much of the game I had missed in my first play. Ok, so objectively speaking, there is no 'best.' But it's by far my favorite. Tales of Vesperia is the best Japanese Role Playing Game on the current generation of consoles. ![]()
