The Tales of Vesperia |OT|
- Thread starter Firestorm
- Start date
Yikes. I remember that the online going rates were an issue last year, but I'm surprised it's still going for $40 - 250 online. Additionally, Tales of the Abyss is going from anywhere from $60 to $200 on Ebay/Amazon. Good luck to you online buyers out there. I personally think it's worth the $40-60, but good luck if it starts getting to Marvel vs. Capcom 2 levels of price hiking.

I remember when it was $15 on Amazon for months last year.

I played about 20 hours of this back when it came out, and while I really liked it, for some reason I stopped playing.
I returned to it the other day, like 2-ish years later... and I'm not sure if I should continue on or start over. I loaded my save and I figured out the gameplay and what my next objective is, but I don't really remember much about the story or what's happened.
I may start over.
oh, and I don't know if things changed in the past week or two, but it's new on amazon for $30 and easily available on ebay.. for one of the best JRPGs out there, and most likely the best JRPG this whole gen, it's a fair price..

There is one copy of this at all the gamestops around me and it's $50 used.
Just picked this up for 360... it is my first JRPG. I finally got it too, I guess it is pretty rare!
It is really fun so far (only played about an hour), though I am having some trouble on normal so I may go down to easy (am about to attempt to beat Zagi for the 4th time :lol ).
Before I lower the difficulty I would like to know,
Will I miss out on anything (story, items, achievements etc) by playing on easy instead of normal?

I know this is out there, but I thought I would ask. Two separate people on Gamefaqs (I know, lol Gamefaqs) have said that the Hong Kong edition of ToV PS3 has an English text option. They're probably spinning stories, but on the off chance, I thought I'd see if anyone else had heard this.

Not sure, but the Chinese edition of Final Fantasy XIII had an option for Japanese audio with English subtitles, so I mean it's possible. Some "Asian" region versions of games include an English text option.
According to Play-Asia reviews for the version in question:
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-bp-49-en-70-3hjt.html
"Tales of Vesperia for PS3 is the perfect version! Except it only has Japanese version."
So I'm guessing no. Plus Play-Asia would put in parenthesis that it is in English in the title, so it would have said, "Tales of Vesperia (English Language Version)".

I know this is so random, but I can't help but notice that you ALWAYS misspell "quite" as "quiet" :lolDrkirby said:
ToV PS3 still runs $75-$85 almost anywhere I've seen. This game will never drop in price 
Is it worth just biting the bullet and getting it? I just recently received Tales of Graces F and figured I might as well get this since I'm getting Tales of Xillia whenever that comes out.

If you have the money to blow and know JP, maybe it's worth it.

Break something. Grind. Try again.
It's the hardest point of the game.
Found my post when I beat him: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=12616773&postcount=1426
LV14 I would say is min. LV18 is typical.
So how do I set skills on other parties for me to control.
2nd, how do I make AI not retard? I just found out they went through my entire supply of Gel during party mobs >_>
Am I always supposed to have a bit of trouble with bosses too? Large ones specifically, so far every small one has been easy, but the big ones. I seem to just eat a lot of blows too much.

In the Artes menu where you put the four Artes that character is going to use with each direction, you can go down and there are another four slots for the right stick. For these ones you can put more attacks of said character or Artes from the rest of the party.
There is a "Gambit" menu of sorts where you can manipulate what the characters are allowed to do and set their general behaviour. Just have them be careful with items/overlimit/etc.
Well, the beginning can be tough, especially Gattuso, but on Normal the game isn't that hard. Try using RT to move in 3D, it's quite broken. Don't attack until you let go of the button though, otherwise it's very slow and not comboable.

They are trying to rip you off. Not even very low-printed versions of ToS (like the PAL ITA one) are worth that much. Try ebay uk, you should be able to get a copy for a premium but more than 50£ sounds like overkill.
