FAQs

Is Tales of Vesperia a long game? ›

When focusing on the main objectives, Tales of Vesperia is about 50½ Hours in length.

Better graphics, better combat, better story. That's tough. Arise had better graphics and the gameplay was a welcome improvement after Tales of Berseria's garbage Soul Gauge system. But Vesperia had a much better story and cast to me.

When focusing on the main objectives, Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition is about 45½ Hours in length. If you're a gamer that strives to see all aspects of the game, you are likely to spend around 140 Hours to obtain 100% completion.

The Premium Edition box contains: a copy of the game, 4 CD soundtrack, artbook, collectible cards set, pin badge set, Chibi Chara stickers set and a Repede Metalcase.

Vesperia is a standalone game so it is fine to start with that game first. Symphonia is also pretty much standalone.

The Tales series has always differentiated itself, opting away from turn-based gameplay for a real-time affair, minus menu interactions. A jarring decision at the time, the real-time gameplay has aged just as well as its turn-based cousin.

There is no alternate ending where the story changes, but you can change some of the dialogue before the battle/between forms(put the focus on different characters/parts of the story) by changing which character is the first in your party/the one you control.

Most tales games are not related so it is fine to start with whichever games you want. However, I do recommend playing Symphonia or Vesperia first because it uses the more Traditional combat system that has been pretty consistent throughout the whole franchise and is easier to learn for beginners in my opinion.

I personally like Vesperia's more, just because it evolves a lot thought the game. Berseria is more simple, easier to pull crazy looking combos and way more faster but it doesn't evolve that much aside from new artes you learn.

All in all, Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition is a fantastic role-playing game with a varied cast, great story, and enjoyable combat. If you're a veteran of the original release or a newcomer, Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition is an adventure worth checking out.

What does grade mean in Tales of Vesperia? ›

The Grade Shop is a shop you will automatically enter when you start New Game +. In the grade shop, you can purchase goodies for your next run of Tales of Vesperia, including Experience and Gald Multipliers. Also, to answer a very common question. Grade is not spent permanently.

The Title for Karol is "Manly Man", and requires you to visit Capua Nor when you have completed 50+% of the Monster Book (so, when you've collected data on 182+ different monsters) and when you're about in the part of the story where you go to Egothor Forest.

If you are playing on easy or normal, you don't have to grind for experiences. However, if you are considering to play on hard or above, you will want to grind since bosses are no pushover. Vesperia does have a system where you learn skills from weapon.

The only thing that is apparent is Patty liking Yuri. I'd say Rita's hard-on for Estelle is very apparent too, but Estelle's feelings in return are left up to the player. That's the case with most of the ships in this game. There's no straight-up romance subplot like Abyss, Graces, and the Xillias have.

Yes, there are a lot of missables. It's recommended to do smaller side stuff as you go along, then tackle the bigger ones in a 2nd playthrough, to avoid a stressing yourself out 1st playthrough. Some of the bosses will be a hassle if you don't know how to approach them.

Storage: 25 GB available space.

Tempest is the shortest at ~10 hours, Legendia is the longest at 70~80, everything else averages 25-50 hours (for a casual play).
