Classic Game Room - TALES OF VESPERIA review

Classic Game Room reviews TALES OF VESPERIA for Xbox 360 from Namco Bandi released in 2008, a massive, high production value JRPG with likeable characters and loads of fighting!

[YTHandlesBlow]

His best friend is a DOG, not a talking dog but a smoking dog with a dagger in its mouth that fights like a spinning speedy ninja, SOLD!

[UnlimitedMrX]

Its not a JRPG unless we have a busty purple-haired girl with giant ears and...
*Judith appears*
OK...its a JRPG.

[tommytwotacos]

it probably didn't warn you about tobacco because the dog was smoking out of an opium pipe.

[Gillzfyi]

im here the celebrate this definitive edition

[CoMMaNdeRKeENs]

The buildup to 3 minutes in is just a better-than-most structured review, then afterwards it is amazing, can't stop laughing because the points are comically dead on!! Awesome job, I would shake your hand

[khuntington]

i really like the newer format you've been using where you talk to the camera, and have video clips of you actually playing the game... it makes it more personable and its cooler to watch. keep up the great vids :)

[ThatDereKid]

One of my favorite games ever. First JRPG I ever really enjoyed, and only because it was the only released on Xbox.

[nips]

this is kind of a bad review... i personally thought this game offered a lot compared to what this guy talked about. which really wasn't much.

[cosmicaler]

In a perfect world, there is a PS3 Version of this game in the West. Sadly, this ain't that world. I crie

[dannydumlet]

I was joking because nobody mentioned her :P Rita is actually my favorite of the Vespeira

[Crinjworthy]

What Mark said about it being grindy as hell was right but because its action based and surprisingly fun I didn't even notice the grind. Great game, great review.

I'm looking to cosplay The First Strike version of Yuri in the fall, so in addition to rewatching the movie I also dusted off my copy of the game. I had forgotten how attached I initially was to this game...and I love it all over again~

Funny fact: Raven is 35. A lot of playable characters in the Tales Of games from around the age of 27 on up tend to complain quite a bit about their age. I read in a comment once that is because that is considered old in Japanese culture...correct me if I am wrong.

the dog doesn smoke the pipe e just carries it as a memento from his previous boss

[darkknightxtn]

Oh my.. How i miss CGR.. theres no more amazing reviews like this one around..

[AboboKing]

Is this related to Tales of Symphonia? Besides the similar title, both by Namco, they seem to have a similar look and battle mechanics.

[InternetSenation]

Been looking for this game, still can't find it in stores, I guess I'mma have to order it online.

[BetaoftheBass]

i wish that the PS3 version was over here!!

[Baiken]

I hope Mark reviews Tales Of Graces F next.

[tomapple]

This game is one of the very few games i would like on the 360, which i do not own one currently, but is it worth buying a 360 just to get this game?

[TheLegend]

Symphonia and Abyss are the ones I own and played. The skits should've been like Vesperia but its a budget thing.
