I really wanted to like Tales of Vesperia, and I remember waiting for what seemed like Years for the UK 360 version. When I finally bought it, I just couldn't get along with the battle system as I prefer Turn-based and TOV just seemed a bit too frantic. Might try again though seeing as it is available to buy on Live.
I gave it a crack, stuck with it for a while, but got bored and it got swallowed up by my swamp of other unfinished games.
