I´m almost done with DQXI and I´m considering getting ToV now that there´s a remaster, never played it when it was originally released for the X360.

If you played both, which one is the better game overall (story, world, characters, etc) for you?

I platinumed DQXI and have all the achievements for ToV (and now playing Tov on PS4).

I would give DQXI a 8.5 and ToV a 9.

Music: I prefer ToV, except for the DQ Theme I don't really care that much for DQ's soundtrack while Tov has so many songs I liked.

Characters: ToV is for me a game that has some of the best characters in a JRPG ever, normally I always don't care about a few or most of them but ToV has overal a good party.

Story:  This depends on you, I felt DQ had a great Classic story and ToV has a great story aswell.

Gameplay:  bit outdated compared to maybe the newer Tales games but it is still fast and rewarding.

World/sidequests:  Their is a lot of stuff to do in DQ and aswell in Tov I prefer ToV though.

The only thing I consider maybe a negative thing is the fact that you may miss a lot of stuff in ToV.  it is the typical game that you have to play with a guide if you want to get everything.  But it is a tales games so you have the typical grade shop where you can get 10x experience/ take all the stuff you unlocked received with you in the new playtrough. So honestly I would say get ToV and the first playtrough just enjoy it, only tip I can give you is to play it atleast on Normal so you can earn Grade.


Thanks for the detailed answer.The music in DQXI is one thing that really disappoints me, repetitive and particularly the music that plays when you´re out on the field is very annoying, had to mute that shit.

What I see coming up a lot is people saying Vesperia´s protagonist is one of the best ever in a rpg, do you share the opinion?...I hope so because I hate silent protagonists which is the case in DQXI.
