Add to this mix an incredibly attractive game world and some awesome audio and Tales of Vesperia is sure to suck up a lot of your free time. It may not be the most original JRPG to ever his the market, but it makes up for this with gorgeous presentation and a fantastic, sprawling story and an imaginative cast of characters. Consider this to be very much a recommended game if you're a fan of the genre and definitely worth a look even if you aren't". 8/10
