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?

Yeah, it's even worse now with the "new" (in the West) character Patty. Constantly going out of the gang and coming back in. At first it was a pretty funny gag but she honestly feels kind of out of place in the game.

You mind it in ToV but not in DQXI? It's way worse in my opinion.

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Gameplay: bit outdated compared to maybe the newer Tales games but it is still fast and rewarding.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

Oh I see =p.
They're both great games, but I believe Vesperia is a tier above. Really enjoyable.

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.
It depends on the area of the game we are talking about.
Story (Including characters): Vesperia > DQXI
Gameplay: DQXI > Vesperia (mostly because Turn-Based > Action for me)
Music: DQXI > Vesperia (This is mostly based on style-preferences, ToV has a good track for its genre.)
Exploration: DQXI > Vesperia
The thing is, when it comes to JRPGs I rank story over all the other qualities. Dragon Quest and Tales of have their own set of tropes, but I think Vesperia did the Tales of tropes better than DQXI did Dragon Quest ones, and Tales of tropes are more interesting. But gameplay-wise DQXI is the better game for me.
I like them both for different reasons then.

Oh yes, he is atleast one of the best. Hard not to like/love him. I hope you end up getting the game let us know how you feel about the game :).
