I know it just came out, I think, yesterday? Has anyone here bought it yet? And if so, what're your thoughts on it. I'm thinking about buying it since I've been a 'Tales' fan for quite some time, and I'm glad to see it on the Xbox.

Any feedbacks appreciated.

Dislikes/Likes.

If it's anything like the past 4 Tales games, it sucks very badly.

What do you mean the past 4 games...

That would include; Tales of Symphonia
Tales of Legendia
Tales of the Abyss
and another one, correct?

Tales of Legendia, without a doubt was a bad 'Tales' game. But Symphonia and Abyss? That's hard to see.

No, it would include...

Tales Of Innocence
Tales Of The Tempest
Tales Of The World: Radiant Mythology
Tales Of Destiny: Director's Cut

All of which are amazing games, except for Tempest, which is mediocre at best.

Legendia is NOT bad at all.

And Vesperia is going to be ****ing amazing. Too bad I can't afford it yet

Vesperia is using the same combat system as of the abyss I've heard.

Since to me it looks like a modifyed version of star ocean: till the end of time's it automatically wins in my book. (plus I'm a fan of JRPGS)

It's a modified version of Abyss' battle system, yes.

Free Run isn't as abuseable, the battlefields are larger, and they've implemented a more in-depth skill system.

I wouldn't know the difference...I haven't played a Tales game before, but I'll try and get my hands on abyss and vesperia around my birthday

I strongly recommend you do. It's a great series, and it's also my favourite game series EVER. Though you can't get the most out of the series unless you're willing to import.

Well, I don't know if I should get this or not.
I mean, I love some of the older "Tales" games, but...
I tried the combat in an Xbox Live Marketplace demo.
The combat is, as someone mentioned, a lot like Star Ocean: 'Till The End of Time, lol.
Overall, it seems pretty fun; but can someone tell me if it's worth the $60?
There's some other cool games out/coming out.
Thanks.
