Is tales of vesperia any good?
It is. It was originally an XBox360 game though & despite the HD treatment you can see it's origins. Not to say it's ugly or suffers from bad performance though, just that it's an enhanced version of a game from that era.
I played about 25 hours before getting distracted but that probably says more about me than the game. I may well go back in future.
The mostly real-time battle system is good - although certain moves map quite badly to the pad - I don't know if it was always that way.
For me, it suffered for not being Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - it's hard for any JRPG to stand up to that in terms of systems & presentation but this isn't really Vesperia's fault.
I'd say it's a good game overall.
