i haven't played vesperia but i played both symphonia and symphonia 2.
the first symphonia is a good game but greatly overrated: it's good in everything but not a masterpiece. i believe much of its reputatios is due to a "perfect storm" situation. it came out on the gamecube when there was no other rpg, it was hyped as hell by nintendo fans, it was the first tales of game to come in eu/usa since a lot of time, the anime chara design resonated with the "otaku subculture" wich was growing fast in those years and it was a good game.
symphonia 2, is a mere fandisk, filled with fanservice for the fans of the first game. it's not a bad game, but i wouldn't recommend to anyone other than tos fans.
