I was wondering if you guys have tried out the demo for Tales of Vesperia. I liked it, although i am still hoping the demo was still in pre stage.

I enjoyed the atmosphere. I thought it was great and can't wait to buy it. Although the boss was extremely hard and i never defeated it.

it was ok...but it just didn't feel right...idk...maybe i'm just spoiled after playing tales of symphonia...and now that numer 2 is coming out on the wii and playing this...i think i'm just comparing the two...lol anyways...i really didn't like the vesperia characters...all i really liked was yuri and his dog...the rest seemed annoying IMO but i thought the same thing about blue dragon from playing the demo...bought the game for $20 to give it a try...GREAT buy, i think when rpg games put me in the middle of the game when no explanation on what's going on, then i feel lost and i hate it...but when i bought blue dragon and started from the START...i just loved it so...maybe it'll be that way with TOV...but we'll see

I have not played the ToV demo. However I have played more then one tales game so I know what I'm in for. Looking forward to pre-ordering ToV when I go to pick up SCIV.

I didn't beat him either. I'm guessing I didn't even come close to it. lol. But I loved the demo and how it looked. The voice acting seemed good to me as well. I wished for more in the demo, but I can't complain. It was fun for me.

You can beat the boss. You have to lure him over to those flowers that stun you and then beat the crap out of him.

I thought the game was pretty good. Ridiculous achievements, though.

yeah, i beat him too. Just so you other guys know, there's not much after the boss fight. Just a few more steps and some talking. I didn't use the flowers and I switched my Skills in the Menu, along with some other things so I guess I just got lucky.

The good: Really good gameplay for an RPG and multiplayer is very fun. The best cell-shaded graphics to date, and an excellent control scheme.

The bad: Oh my god the voice acting is horrible. Not on all of the characters are bad but I want to kill that kid. Seriously there should be a warning at the beginning of the game about how bad it gets.

Overall the only thing holding me back from buying it when it comes out is me wondering if I could endure the cut-scenes. I don't mind that the game has a playful attitude at times but I just hope it doesn't get too stupid.

Edit: Oh and the boss is beatable. He really isn't that bad if you have played other games in the Tales series though I did die the first time I fought him.
