The worst Tales game I've played.

I've played 4 TALES games counting this one. TALES of Symphonia, Legendia, Abyss and now Vesperia. By far Vesperia is the worst Tales game I've played. There are many things I didn't like about the game.

1. The graphics for this game weren't very good. I expect more in this day and age of game systems and games. It looked like games from the 90s, which isn't bad in it's self. But it's 2008 going on 09 so I expect more visually. If I want that kind of graphics I'll go back and play the old games.

2. The story wasn't captivating. It just didn't keep me intrested in the game. I know they used the enviromental theme for the game. They could have done a much better job with the theme and the story. If you want a great game that tackles that theme get Final Fantasy VII. I had to try real hard to get through the game.

3. The characters were terrible. I wasn't intrested or carred about any of them. Yuri was unintresting and came off as a cold hearted bastered, not good for the lead character of a RPG. Estelle was just boring and I didn't care about her story. Karol and Rita just didn't add anything to the game. Raven started out well in the game and I did like him. I wanted him to stay dead, it was just a great ending for his characted, but now they decided to bring him back to life, what a rip.

The only characters I did like were Judith. I thought Judith and Yuri would get together, they were a much better mach than Yuri and Estelle, and I think it would have made Yuri more intresting, but the creators didn't take the game in that direction. I also liked Repede, he was just a fun character and they way he interacted with the other characters. My favorite character in the game was a minor character and turns out to be on of the bad guys. Yes it's Duke. I really like his story and character. At the end of the game I actually wanted him to win some how, even though I knew it wasn't possible.

4. The music was bad, it just add anything to the game.

5. The ending was just terrible and a total let down. It wasn't worth the money or time I spent on the game.

I am really disappointed with Namco/Bandai. I have really liked the TALES games until this one. It's just really sad.
