Will There Ever Be An RPG As Great As Tales Of Vesperia This Gen?

Lost Odyssey better than Vesperia? Puh-leez.

In Vesperia everything about it is fun for me. Lost Odyssey for me was a great sleep aid.

I felt that everything about Losy Odyssey was more developed and mature. The tales series is a little goofy.

The game was enjoyable for the most part but I thought it had a bit too many of those dream sequences. They were well written I will admit but took me away from the main story too much, I really couldn't care less about Kaim's backstory. I actually skipped past majority of them.

Once I reached the 4th disc the game just kind of died off for me. I just got the White Boa(?) and if I played right now I probably wouldn't know where to go.

 

As for Vesperia being goofy, that is why I enjoy it so much. I like a serious JRPG here and there (trust me, I have played many) but Vesperia just feels so nice. The thing I would say I enjoy most about it is that it isn't trying to be too serious and I just love the art style. I would prefer more games to be made in a graphical style mimicing games like Valkyria and/or Vesperia.

 

I'm the opposite in regards to LO. I thought Kiam's back story is what made the game. The main story was fairly generic (though not dissapointing) and without Kiam's back story, the character depth would not have been as good and I'd have been much less attached to the characters.

I haven't played Vesperia (not out in PAL regions yet) so I can't comment on if LO or ToV is better.

It is all personal preference, some love LO and some like it but don't think it is great. I am one who would rather a character's backstory be told through the regular storyline than through little stories like they did with LO. The core gameplay style of LO I loved. I am a big fan of turn-based style similar to that of Final Fantasy games prior to FFXII.

It was mainly the storyline later in the game that began pushing me away.
