I love both Symphonia and Vesperia.
I'm 17 hours into Vesperia and I can tell you that it hasn't disappointed one bit.
The thing I really love about Vesperia more than Symphonia are the characters. Not that Symphonia characters weren't awesome, because they were. Rita Mordio is absolutely awesome and probably my favourite Tales character ever.
The Tales studio got everything right in Vesperia (imo). If you liked Symphonia, this game is even better.
