30-Day "Tales of" Challenge: DAY 1
Day 1: Favorite Tales game?
Answer: Tales of Vesperia
My whole family loves the Tales series, so when we bought Vesperia, it was a big deal. We all gathered around the TV and watched my brother play it.
First thing I noticed: OMG, English song lyrics! Off to a great start already! Second thing: OMG, voiced skits! That made me super happy!
After that, it was kinda downhill for me, believe it or not. I loved that the game felt like you were playing an anime. But the characters’ outfits looked clown-y, I didn’t like the characters that much (not even Yuri, I think). I was kinda disappointed.
Then I played it myself and absolutely fell in love with it. Yuri is a boss. The other characters are pretty cool, too (except Judith — I hate her). They’re not my favorite cast, but I like how diverse they are and the way they interact with each other.
I also love how big Terca Lumireis feels. It’s like it goes on forever, so there’s plenty of exploring to do.
I’m really disappointed that they never brought the PS3 port over! It looked awesome! Then again, I think I would have hated Patty. I don’t consider her a part of the group right now.
Still, it’s an awesome game!
(Fun fact: when I saw the cover for Vesperia, I thought Flynn was the lead male, and Yuri was the lead female. Oops! =P)
