Be a superstar. Build Communism. Be a hobo collecting trash just to afford the night's rent. Be the sorriest cop in existence. Do all the cocaine. Discover an ancient curse.

Maybe even solve a murder case while you're at it.

It's disco, baby!

Vesperia is considered a modern classic JRPG, but it does honestly have its flaws.

First the good:
-really strong cast with great interaction, even if Patty feels a bit shoehorned into a lot of scenes if you played the original
-the port is extremely solid, even supporting dualshock 4 natively
-really fun combat system when it eventually opens up
-easily a hundred hours of gameplay

The bad:
-the plot is a lot weaker in the third act. Not terrible, but it goes extremely cliche when for the first two acts it was fairly unique for the time.
-Patty is shoehorned into a lot of sections. Her scenes are about 50/50 for what works and what doesn't. She is amazingly fun in combat though.
-The battle system locks a LOT of basic moves/abilities early on that it really shouldn't. It takes a good 20-30 hours before you really get to play with the full system.

KILL BOSS

Okay I'm just going to load her up for an hour tonight, harvest some crops and maybe work on relationships....
