Pikachu, take that with a touch of salt. Tales of Vesperia has its virtues, but you may not like it as much as you like Pokemon.

>_> Well I mean the guy seems like a huge Pokemon fan...and they are way too different to be liked for the same reasons...

That's why I recommended he pick up something turn-based like Blue Dragon.

Tales games are an acquired taste unless you're just huge into anime and don't care about getting pounded in the face endlessly with the same tropes. Might not be something he wants to risk his money on.

Dude....all RPGs have this. And not all JRPGs are the same.

Aya...

1 a: a word or expression used in a figurative sense : figure of speech b: a common or overused theme or device : cliché <the usual horror movie tropes>

That is the kind of trope I meant. Tales games are parades of cliches and overused themes and devices.

And look, you can't look at my avatar and pretend I'm somehow biased against JRPGs. Tales games are considerably worse in this regard than most.
