Tales of Vesperia's updated version boasts new content, dual audio, some new tracks and integrates two extra characters to the party.
The biggest addition is really the inclusion of Patty, while Flynn gets a little more screentime and development as a character, though not as much as I expected, but it was still fun to have more banters between Flynn and the main cast in skits for those very scattered moments.
Patty's inclusion adds for lots more dialogues, skits and scenes between the main cast which thankfully didn't feel shoehorned in or unnatural. And she was generally a surprisingly fun and likeable character, while also bringing out new sides of the main cast.
That being said I played with japanese va to bypass the double casting for the main character's english va in the new scenes, and I've heard Patty's english va being grating, so maybe check it out before you want the english cast, even though despite that the english va is really good.
The only bummer part about the japanese va is how the localization team neglected to sub the dialogues happening in the major in-game battles/boss fights. So pick your poison.
