Here are the Metacritic rankings for comparison. I added in Persona since the Tales series has yet to have as good a game as Persona 3 Fes or Persona 4.
Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy IX -- PS1 -- 94
Final Fantasy VII -- PS1 -- 92
Final Fantasy X -- PS2 -- 92
Final Fantasy XII -- PS2 -- 92
Final Fantasy VI Advance -- GBA -- 92
Final Fantasy VIII --PS1 -- 90
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance -- GBA -- 87
Final Fantasy XI -- PS2 -- 85
Final Fantasy X-2 -- PS2 -- 85
Final Fantasy IV -- DS -- 85
Final Fantasy IV Advance -- GBA -- 85
Final Fantasy V Advance -- GBA -- 83
Final Fantasy Tactics -- PS1 -- 83

Persona Series
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 -- PS2 -- 90
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES -- PS2 -- 89
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 --PS2 --86
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment -- PS1 -- 83
Persona -- PS1 -- 78
Tales of Series
Tales of Symphonia -- Gamecube -- 86
Tales of Eternia -- PSP -- 82
Tales of Vesperia -- 360 -- 81
Tales of Phantasia -- GBA -- 76
Tales of Legendia -- PS2 -- 72
Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World -- Wii -- 68

Still Vesperia isn't the highest rated Tales game and it is one point lower than the IGN score here.
