Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition Reviews
Any JRPG fan who missed Tales of Vesperia the first time around shouldn't hesitate to check out this definitive edition of the title. Despite its age, the game still holds up in 2019.
Tales of Vesperia is an epic adventure that only marks the beginning for the series on Switch.
Ultimately, the question for many will be if Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition is worth picking up even if players have experienced it before. The answer, at least in my eyes, is a resounding yes. The addition of characters and story content makes it a fresh experience for western fans, and it is a game that still manages to capture the imagination even now. Audio issues aside, this is the best version of Tales of Vesperia we've ever gotten—and, to be frank, that we will ever get—and newcomers and veterans alike owe it to themselves to experience the Definitive Edition of one of the best Tales of games ever created.
The new additions here, especially the integration of a brand new character, definitely make this Definitive Edition worth playing for those who have already played the original. For newcomers, this release is the perfect opportunity to jump into what many (including myself) consider one of the best games in the series.
A great JRPG which doesn't feel old most of the time, and is still very hard to break away from.

A nice reharsal of the best "Tales of" chapter. Very nice if it the first time you play it, superfluous if you already played the original version.
