Sleep in inns whenever you get the chance, you'll get lots of extra story/sidequest stuff that way.Wraith said:

Rita's Indignation has extra dialogue when used against Dhaos. :lol
I think it also instantly kills him as well. Nice little shout out.

hot damn.
Sucks all of that stuff is for the ps3 only. I did manage to keep all of my weapons my first time through - still, I think I sucked at combat. I could never use the completely free combat system without major problems. Any advice with that? I want to kick up the difficulty. Also, regarding the fatal strike stuff, is the benefit of using the damage reducing artes to rack up on fatal strike bonuses really worth it?

They are if you know what FS corresponds to what bonuses for which particular type of monster. They're listed in your battle book. The LP bonus I found useless because I always run into every single battle like I have a Dark Bottle on. The best one is the increase drop rate when you're hunting for synthesis components to make items with.

I have a sneaking suspicion that ToV PS3 content will be offered on Xbox Live eventually--even the significant changes (aka the new character).
FateBreaker said:
How is that remotely possible? It seems a lot of the dialogue is rewritten to include Patty. A lot of camera anges are changed, lots of new recorded dialogues (skits are probably modified to include Patty and Flynn). I don't think it's possible to patch something to modify the whole thing. Vesperia is a long game and if Patty in included in the beginning, well they have to modify the game a lot. Besides if they were really interested about us the beta testers of the 360 release they could have released a director's cut in japan but they didn't. Keep in mind that NBG never patched Eternal Sonata with the ps3 upgrades (I know ES is garbage).

Judith has a slightly steeper learning curve than most...a bit more technical, but once you're over the curve, she's probably one of the easiest characters to use primarily because a lot of her combos are aerial combos...ie. difficult for enemies to interrupt so it makes combat a lot easier, even on the harder difficulty. Maybe give her a shot

You're about 1/3 of the way through, if that
The artes ball is nice...holding L1 opens up 8 more slots to assign to artes and what not

You're approaching the midpoint I think. The game basically has three acts, and you're working through the second right now. Once you get the second story-based achievement (150G) that's when you know you've hit the third act.

I was wondering where I was game length wise too, so thanks for asking. Good to know I have so much more game to go, because I'm really enjoying it. My first Tales.

I am thinking about picking this game up..... it looks like it could be fun.
I've finished the game! 150+ hours for first playthrough, yeah I'm a completionist :lol.
There's something I need help with for my second play.

The secret mission that you have to shoot arrow to the chest, how do you guys do it? I've looked at the youtube and faqs people made, but couldn't pull it somehow.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD

You think 150hrs is bad, some gaffers took 200+ :lol
As for the SM its in the OP:
firestorm said:
I don't exactly remember how I did it but make sure you're using Rain and not the altered arte.
The team battle in Colosseum is pretty insane. :lol
In the 4th battle you'll fight the Schwann brigade, in the 5th and last battle you'll be fighting the Hunting Blade guild (Clint, Tison, Nan and a 4th character I won't spoil). And it seems like you are able to enter the EX Dungeon even if you missed out one of the side quests.
Is it too much to hope this game is selling well based on this promo?

Once he has his blastia showing, wait until he guards, and then break his guard with Destruction Field spamming in Overlimit 1. Don't activate Overlimit near him though, otherwise he flies away. XD Pause in between each Destruction Field to watch for the guard break, and once it does, switch to Raven, wait for Yeager to chase one of your party members and he'll stagger. Spam Rain and you should get it.

Sorry to bump this thread, but I've been thinking about getting this game and I can't decide on which version to get. I understand the PS3 version has a lot of additions and possible improvements but that it runs in a lower resolution and has some rare framerate problems.
I can get the 360 version for like $20 whereas the PS3 version is still new and will cost me closer to $60. Has anyone spent time with both versions? Is the extra content and the changes worth the additional $40 that the game would cost me to get on PS3?

Vesperia 360 is already a solid game. If you can get it for $20-30, why not? If the extra content means that much to you, then wait if you must (I might double dip though). As for the image-related problems, I'll wait for impressions if that concerns you greatly. I've managed to play through Abyss so I doubt a lower res and rare framerate problems will trouble me.
I bought Vesperia knowing about the PS3 announcement and didn't let the news of that bother me but I wanted the content though. I say wait for the PS3 one if the pricing scheme was going to be similar to Persona 3 and FES ($50 to $30 respectively) but it's highly unlikely; and if Eternal Sonata is indicative of PS3 Vesperia's $60 price tag, then just buy the 360 version unless you don't mind waiting for a possible PS3 release here. If you wait, I say wait if the content means that much to you. Otherwise, there's no need to miss out on the 360 version.
Part 3 is mostly sidequests, so about five/six hours more or less? The last dungeon is pretty big but you can skip half of it if you're not going for the Fell Weapons.
And about which version to get, the technical problems aren't really much of an issue, they're hardly noticeable if at all. That being said, and even though there is new juicy content, I personally think it's better to have it now and much cheaper. The game is already amazing and complete in 360, but if you can wait you'll get some more stuff to do.

Xbox 360 version is also the only one in English so unless you know Japanese I'd go with that one.
Edit: Looking a your post history, you know Japanese and I think live in Japan. I'd probably grab it on PS3 myself due to the extra content. Ask around about technical issues. Didn't know it had any.

so i'm at the last dungeon. music is great, voice acting is wonderful and i'm not going to lie, the opening song is pretty awesome.
I thought the plot story was pretty lackluster, but the characters were, for the most part, memorable and enjoyable. I'm really not looking forward to beating the game because i don't want it to end.

Supposedly a couple German retailers are listing Vesperia PS3. http://www.heise.de/preisvergleich/a450985.html

-apparently a major german online retailer
Cons
-has been up for about 2 months without anyone noticing
-has a placeholder release date of "December 2009"
My opinion: Meaningless until other major retailers come out agreeing with heise.de
