    Enchanted Arms (ill), Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata, Lost Odyssey, and now this. The 360's jRPG lineup gets two hits (sure to be cult classics) in Tales of Vesperia (and Infinite Undiscovery next week).

    I just got my hands on Tales just now. Will be playing it soon. From the look of the vids, it has some of the smoothest cell shading ever. Anyone else plan to play it?

    The Tales series ceased being good after they released Destiny. Everything after was downhill from there.

    I wish Namco had brought out the PSP/PS2 remakes of Phantasia and Destiny here.

    I love the combat of the Tales series. I could careless if the story sucks.

    I am still not done with LO yet. I am towards the end of disc 3. Unfortunately, my schedule has been insane lately, and I have zero time to play.

    I'm almost at 3 hours in. It's very pretty. The cell shading is awesome. The cell shading animation looks better that the actually animated cut scenes imo. The story is very cheesy old school RPG, but I like it. Combat is your typical Tales hald 2D half 3D hybrid action fighting. I've never been a huge fan, but until yo get additional party members, it's [retty ****ing hard.

    So far, me digs it alot.

    I picked this up this past week, and my fiance and I started to play it. It's my first "Tales" game. It's pretty good, but like Mor said, if there is only one party member it can be hard.
