Tales of Vesperia will be a great game. I understand why people are waiting in line to get it. I'm more patient than that (and I work during the day) but I understand.

We should see how well the Japanese gamers receive ToV before we determine whether it is a great game or not.  Famitsu aren't very reliable anymore since they admitted to giving scores based on hype

 

So far the few people I know who have it have been logged into XBL since the Tales icon appeared in they're gamertag. Its either good or really addicting :P
