Looks great! I'd rank Vesperia as one of the best RPGs of the generation, if not THE best, so hopefully this will live up to it's predecessor. I just picked of Tales of Graces F for PS3, I've heard it was great on the DS...

Why is Tales of Vesperia great ?

 

[ban25]

It's probably the best RPG of the generation. Check the reviews.

Checked IGN's video review and EuroGamers. They scored the game 8 - 8.2 (out of 10).
Bandai-Namco didn't release the game in US. The reviewers didn't manage to convince me. Usually forum posters do a better job.

It was released in the US two and a half years ago. Gamespot gave it an 8.5. In that time, a better RPG has not been released, in my opinion:

Aye, I meant the PS3 version. It's only released in Japan I think.

The numbers keep on rising for Tales of Xillia. Namco Bandai revealed yesterday that the game had topped the 500,000 shipment mark in its first day. Mainichi is reporting that the game shipped an additional 100,000 units the next day.

...

Retailer blogs are reporting strong sales for the game, but for specifics we'll have to wait for Media Create's sales figures late next week.
