My review :
A surprisingly fantastic game! I really liked the way the story was structured and the rate in which it progressed. It started off as a fairly innocent adventure, but it turned into so much more by the end. Obviously I won't give specifics because spoilers. I'm glad they didn't take the "ALL ACTION ALL THE TIME" approach that is almost required to keep a modern gamers attention.
Audio design was pretty solid. Not the #1 best soundtrack I've ever heard in my life, but it was no slouch. Almost every single line of dialogue was voiced, aside from random villager NPCs. The port was rock solid stable and I encountered zero issues. I put nearly 90 hours into a single playthrough and not once did the game crash, nor did my framerate ever drop below my monitors Vsync range. I've seen a handful of discussions online about microstutter, but I experienced none. On my specific PC, the port was damn near perfect.
There's plenty of content here for your money. I didn't do every side quest, I hardly participated in any mini games and I skipped the post game dungeon. Yet I still managed 90 hours out of the game. There's also quite a bit of postgame stuff that can be done, I'm just not that kind of gamer. I tend to move on once a story is complete. Some people see a 10 year old game for $50 and scoff at it, and if you already played it 10 years ago I'd see where you're coming from. But if this is your first time playing Vesperia it's 100% worth the full asking price
