Best Remakes & Remasters of 2019
Honorable Mention: Tales of Vesperia – Definitive Edition
Senior Editor Hayes Madsen: Tales of Vesperia is widely regarded as one of the very best entries in the franchise, but sadly the West never saw the enhanced edition that released on PS3, that is, until now.
Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition is a remastered and enhanced version of the classic, bringing all of the PS3 exclusive content to all platforms, including two new playable characters, loads of new cutscenes, new artes, and much more.
There’s so much new content in the Definitive Edition that you could practically call it a new game, as even just the two new playable characters drastically change things, as they’re now present for most of the story.
The cel-shaded art style of Vesperia still looks fantastic too, and then upgrade to HD only improves things even more.
Simply put, Tales of Vesperia is one of the best JRPGs ever made, and this definitive version is a fantastic way to experience it for the first time, or the fifth.
