I'm not sure why they decided to have vocals this time, I liked how Symphonia and Abyss openings had just the orchestral versions without vocals. Abyss in particular is one I really liked. Not remotely an issue though, just random musings whilst playing the game.

Anyway starting the game and so far... the game looks incredibly vibrant, colorful, and cartoony. It reminds me a lot of Eternal Sonata, which came out just before Vesperia. At times the character designs look too simply drawn but I love how cartoony and colorful it looks.

My biggest wtf... the purple haired girl on the cover... is actually a guy??!! Even Luke didn't look as girly as that, and he had an exposed midriff! The deep voice that accompanied this purple haired Yuri chap (I'm positive that's a girl's name, doesn't yuri mean girl even?) caught me completely off guard and doesn't fit the character's looks at all. I went into Vesperia completely fresh so not sure if this was a common topic 11 years ago when the game came out.

Combat has free run so that's good, and I'm sure the rest of the game is gonna be fun.

The Abyss song is better with the vocals, tbh.

Both of these had vocal themes, they were just cut outside of Japan due to licensing issues. Abyss even started the trend of keeping the song and just cutting the vocals.

lmao

All of them have always had vocals in the opening, even the very first one for SNES had vocals. The GC version of Symphonia used some stock song they had on hand, and it sucked. Abyss removed the lyrics entirely, but at least it stayed in since there's motifs of the song in like 4 other tracks. Ring a bell in vesperia is great in Japanese, doesn't work too well with the translated lyrics since it basically is reason enough for people to ship YurixFlynn. Then again, compare that with the opening from Graces and well, suddenly we had to debate whether or not Richard was best girl. He is, btw.

Reason. #185829494 why Zesteria was the worst in the series outside of tempest - the JP OP was actually kind of good. Without lyrics it just sounded... Ugh.

Have fun with the game, TC. It's good. I've replayed this game several times on the 360. Need to finish my PS4 playthrough, though.

Yeah I know. Symphonia may have done it first though, since that opening didn't have vocals.

The instrumental version just sounds... classier imo, with no vocals. Again Abyss is a favorite of mine, I really like it as someone who typically doesn't like rock and roll guitar sounds.

I'm like 50 hours in, loved the game for the first half but am really having trouble finding the ambition to beat it now, months later. I dunno why. I played Abyss, which is longer, and Symphonia which is about the same. But this one, I just don't care anymore lol.
I feel like maybe I just don't like the characters enough to want to see the ending. I just finished turning Phaeroh and the rest into spirits . Do I have much longer?

And yeah agreed TC about Yuri. He's one of the most feminine looking dude MCs they've ever done, but it absolutely doesn't match up with his personality (which I guess is interesting?) It def takes some getting used to.
If you can't get used to it, there's a DLC costume he can use that gives him a man bun that makes him look much better IMO. I thiiiink the PS4 version has the DLC included? The Switch version does.
