Tales of Vesperia - Is it worth it?

[guile_bio]

Is this game worth the $60? I loved Symphonia, but I felt like the combat for Vesperia was slow when I played the demo.

At about 20 hours into it I'm loving it, the combat actually can get pretty frantic, especially if you're letting the monsters link, having 13 enemies on screen and using overlimit can be pretty fast paced. The story's on par with typical Tales writing, not epic, but very good in it's own right. There's a fair amount of grinding required if you want to learn every skill in the game though. All in all I'd day it's definitely worth the money, I'm hoping to beat it this weekend though so I'm free to start Undiscovery on Tuesday.

I think the problem with the demo was the limitation in characters. It forces you to use Yuri, Repede, Estelle and Rita, the later two are magic/support oriented, they're not heavy on combat until alter when Rita learns more spells, Repede is decent for helping rack up combos, but if you have more than 4 people in your party, odds are he's going to be sidelined, Karol.. who is in the demo.. and playable at that point in the game.. isn't allowed to be in your part, and he's probably the second best front line fighter in the game, The demo combat feels slow beucase really.. you don't have a real combat team available.

Yah that's actually the main reason why I want to get this game. I've seen the gameplay from this baby and man did that sh*t look fun!!! I want it so badly, so as a 360, to bad though. Im pretty much broke right now:170:

It sounds interesting, but Symphonia really put me off the whole series

Fortunetly, Abyss and Legendia was better then Symphonia.

Anyways, this is game's what making a 360 seem tempting...

The game is pretty tempting, combine it with Infinite Undiscovery coming out on Tuesday, and it's already solid lineup of RPGs, and the coming price drop and it's a safe buy.
