Tales of Vesperia has my whole heart. I cannot recommend it enough to JRPG enthusiasts. This was my second Tales, and while I loved playing Abyss before it, this was the one that cemented my obsession with the series.

- The central relationship between Yuri and Flynn is AMAZING. They go through their ups and downs, but they ultimately trust each other and serve as amazing narrative foils. Just A+ relationship here and it's impossible to not get invested
- Estelle goes through so much but she comes out the other side as a stronger person and it got me very emotional!! I admire her resilience so much and she is one of my favourite JRPG characters for that reason
- This is FOUND FAMILY: THE GAME. If you love the Found Family trope, you will adore this weird little guild and think about them constantly
- Judy is a babe and also SO fun to play as
- It's very gay it's so gay
- In general the gameplay is very fun and I enjoyed switching characters a lot
- I poured 90 hrs into this game and I was sad that it was over. Sad that there weren't another 90 hrs to go. Like...what.

overall play this game god i think about it so often
