The Good
- Excellent cast of characters
- Long, intriguing story that draws you in
More importantly, most posts I have seen from people, plus my own experience, is that the story and characters are very good.

My standards are higher than Gamespots period. And I'd have to say my standards are higher than most posters here.
Vesperia's story is cliched. It falls into the typical save the world storyline.
The only characters in the game that are worth anything are Yuri, Judith, and Raven. Raven although funny is very very cliched.
The rest of the games cast can rot.
The antagonists are one dimensional characters that recieve little to no development. Their motivations are poorly written and cliched.
Conquer the world - check.
Kill all humans - check.
The game's story although better paced than tales of the abyss is still horrible. The game drags on far to long in the 2nd half.
The plot twists are fairly predicatable.
The main characters themselves have little to no backstory and recieve little to no development through the course of the game. A major problem in a jrpg. They are fairly shallow.
Not to mention the corny friendship teamwork guild stuff they throw in.
The games only saving grace is it's combat system.
Why buy it for the combat system when I can get better games with better combat systems for cheaper:
