This was my first Tales game and it continues to be my favorite, with Graces f on PS3 and Abyss on PS2 following it. I love the characters, the combat, and the artstyle so much. Vesperia is very much a slow burn but once you unlock some combo moves, you feel really good playing it. Overall a great game but with Definitive Edition out, that's probably the easiest one to get into in my opinion.
