The Tales of Vesperia |OT|

It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely time.
I'm pretty excited about this game. I haven't played a Tales game before, but I figure now is a good time to try out the series :D

Having a lot of fun with the game so far. Visuals are nice once you get used to it, controls aren't bad either.

The story is a little light so far but it's cute (in terms of dialogue).

Having issues getting Xbox Live set up through ICS, this thing is driving me up the wall. I think I'll do it tomorrow. :lol

why not get both?

Same with me. I will get both, eventually. But I really can't play more than 1 rpg at a time or I lose interest in one, or both. Which reminds me, I have to finish FES.

I can't see this doing well in the States. Which sucks, cause this is actually my most anticipated 360 RPG.

I hope I'm wrong.

No, I meant it being $20 by the holidays. Not a chance of that.

Hell yeah, if the price drop comes on the 7th as promised I'm buying another 360 with a butt load of games.

(My original 360 doesnt like to work all the time)

OMG this game has the worst achievements ever.
And those are the ones that aren't secret -- I dread to think what the secret ones are :(

So I watched the ending CG, and oddly enough it was in English.

Apparently the game really does have dual-audio.

Can anyone with the game confirm this?

How!? According to the in-game leaderboards, noone has finished the game yet.

Someone ripped various FMV cutscenes out of the game.

I decided to watch the ending one, and everyone was speaking in English.

Maybe it's just the anime/CG movies that have both languages? Would explain why the blog said you'd be able to hear Ring a Bell (English) in the Japanese version...o_o

Or maybe there's secretly a "choose language" option when you beat the game? [/not happening ever]

Wait, so if you play the game long enough, you can essentially order the second volume for free?

Nah, you have to do various polls, quests, etc, through the site to earn points, Konami has a similar thing going.

Asian Vesperia confirmed to be 100% NOT region-free.
Not that i care, obviously, since i don't know Japanese.

Now we have to wait for the US and Asian w/ English versions of the game.
Fuck Namco.

You can find a link under recruitment or just give your username. Although apparently I'm already registered since I'm a part of some of their other sites so I couldn't get referred again.

At the menu you can rearrange the order and even change who you're playing on the overworld, iirc there's a flag you can set to show who you're playing in battle, I need to recheck the demo to confirm though.

And then you control only them in the fight? Is there a way to swap during battle?

No, Gald is also the in-website currency. You do activities, make banners/wallpaper, participate in poll/surveys, and refer members to get Gald. You can then spend it in their shop for free stuff including signed copies of Vesperia and Symphonia: DotNW.

Go to the Artes menu and see if there's something at the top that says Manual - Semi Manual - Auto. Change it from Auto to Manual and you can play as them. Change the character to the first player's slot. You can't change characters mid-battle.

99 Posts and only 1 impression from actual gameplay?

Is that a good thing (everyone is enjoying it too much), or bad thing (no one bought it or cares)?
