The acts were also said to apparently have different writers, which also complicates things. People love to act like the 3rd act is odd and somewhat abrupt but it really isn't and various things that lead up to events that happen during it are hinted at, sometimes numerous times, in the previous 2 acts. Some people just can't appreciate subtlety and always want a cliche over the top villain to be the final confrontation.

First act is mainly about introductions of characters, lore and general exposition like most Tales games

Second act is mainly about motivations

Third act is about resolve and resolutions

The Duke wasn't exactly a good villain. The plot for vesperia is definitely not one that I would defend in the least.
