I have played Tales of Vesperia for 24 hours straight now.

And I must say, this is definitely not a game that was meant to be beaten in a single day.

Well, with the exception of eating and basic human needs. I've done those, except sleeping. Haven't slept. I've had an energy drink, an entire liter of Coke, and three cups of coffee. And plenty of water, probably too much.

I'm just now reaching the Sands of Kogorh section of the game, so I haven't exactly been speedrunning the game, but I could have gone a lot slower. And would guesstimate that I'ma bout 2/3rds of the way through with the game.

I would have guessed it would be easier to beat Tales of Vesperia in a single gameplay session, but I dunno if I can do it.

If anyone is worried about whether they will get their money's worth out of this game or any other Tales game, there's definitely a lot more content that most people will get to in a week out of any Tales game.

What do you think I should do? Stay up 6 more hours and hope I can beat it in 30 before passing out, or go to bed and give up? I wanna beat the game before going to sleep. ;_;

Screenshot from around where I am in the game. Can I possibly beat Tales of Vesperia in the next 6 hours?

I don't really know that spot. I want to ask you questions like have you done such and such yet? But please no one ask that it would be spoiler. But I don't think it's really that possible to beat this game in about 30 hours. Not without really be efficent. Speedrun style sure if you know what your doing! They can beat it in like 4-5 hours. But 30 hours would be quick.

Tell us a few big plot points? So I kind of knowwhere your at. If you do though say spoilers first! lol

I just looked it up Sands of Kogorh... no your far from six hours! I would be surprised if you could beat it in 12 hours.

You're right, it's been over a year since I played Vesperia. And it seems I'm probably at most halfway through the game.

I should probalby give up on any hopes of finishing the game in one sitting and get some sleep.

Yeah you did a good job! And yes your not even halfway though second of three arcs in the game. Not that all arcs are equal length but still. Great for one day though! lol Amazing. But you likely have 15+ hours left. More if you get sloppy.

Why would you rush through the game lol ?

For speedruns you'll be skipping all cutscenes, skits and avoid battles. It's 4~5 hours, but that's because you're skipping everything the game has to offer.

It's a long game with a bunch of fun character interaction on sidequests and skits, I feel like you just end up missing too much of the experience by rushing things.

I haven't really been rushing. I haven't skipped anything and like more than anything taking my time and being immersed in the world.

I do usually take my time more than this. But for some reason this time I've wanted to focus my first playthrough on the main storyline, and save sidequest type stuff for my second playthrough.

I've just felt like focusing on the MSQ for a change.

Ohhh. Nevertheless you should get rest, you cant get pretty bad health issue staying 24h or more hours up. The game is not going anywhere.

[Onionhorse]

I remember this happening to me when Tales of Graces came out, just take a shower, go to sleep for 5 or 6 hours then wake up to play again, do some pushups or go running before playing too, i know we have waited a long time for Vesperia
Hell this month is the month where the 2 last games i was supposed to play on PS3 are releasing
but the game is not going anywhere and if you burn yourself out you might not enjoy New Game+

Go to sleep. People have died by binging games on marathons. There's no reason to put your health at risk.

Having said that...I would to get a new game plus save file in order to start my own game with a boost. Never played Vesperia before but if its anything like Symphonia...the experience will just hold up better with things like boosted inventory space, faster leveling, a gald headstart and other things that are merely grinding conveniences.

I just went to sleep, and ended up taking a 3 hour nap. Somehow I already feel like continuing on a little longer. I really am honestly not sleepy enough to want to lay back down now, somehow! (caffeine nap?)

I've no been completely ignoring all side content or else I'd be much further along than I am now. And it would feel like I waste to start a New Game Plus without enough grade to get everything. Over years of playing Tales games, I always stock up on grade before starting a New Game Plus.

What my current plan to do is finish the final dungeon and game, not save. And then go back and farm grade in the lowest level monster area I can find until I have at least 3,000, before starting a new game. If not at least 5,000.

Get a good nights rest. This is very unhealthy.
