Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition
Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition is a remaster of the expanded Playstation 3 port of the original game, which was exclusive to Japan. Dive into the definitive version of this game with updated full-HD graphics, brand-new music tracks, exciting mini-games, bosses and more! Two more playable characters join the fray! - Patty Fleur, a cheerful and tough young pirate girl in search of treasure, adventure… and her forgotten memories. - Flynn Scifo, Yuri’s best friend and an Imperial Knight, now joins the rest on their journey! A power struggle begins in a civilization dependent on an ancient technology, the blastia, and the Empire that controls it. The fates of two friends traveling separate paths intertwine in an epic adventure that threatens the existence of all.

Review coverage
Critic signal strength
Numeric critic scoring uses full scored reviews once available. Review-in-progress scores act as temporary early signal only until full review scores exist. Unscored reviews still count as coverage, but they are not included in the critic average.
