[quote name='ShinAkuma']Better. In many ways, it's alot like Star Ocean. The skill system adds alot to the game too- For example, In SO if you're knocked in the air, you have to wait to fall down, but Vesperia has a skill that lets you recover in mid air and get going again quicker, or avoid staggering when hit. You're also able to use special skills in such a way that you can use anyone at any time and still link them together and even assign other charachters skills to a shortcut on the right stick, whereas SO makes you chain them together and you have to do one of those two in order you set them, and there are no shortcuts for other people. The overlimit ability is very similar to rage mode in SO, but there are 4 levels and more benefits later on (some of which people consider game breaking, such as rapid specials, one right after another). On the downside, Vesperia does make you hold down a button to go into 3D field movement, when a member falls in battle, you can't swap them out for another without ending the battle, and of course the level of item creation isn't anywhere as close.
I hope this helps, and the game is very much worth the $20.[/QUOTE]
Yes, that was a great breakdown, thanks!
I didn't have a chance to stop by TRU today, had to sell some things to people from craigslist. I'm off of work on Friday, so I'll hit up a TRU and keep my fingers crossed.
Sounds like a great deal for $20
