Good, but better elsewhere
If you're in love with having everything portable, then this is probably the version for you. But, if you're like me, and have a choice as to what version you can play- choose the other versions. The PS4 and PC are much better in terms of performance. The Switch version of this game is notably lacking in color depth as well as shading and texture quality, which is surprising because the game was originally on the Xbox 360. The game is locked to 30 FPS outside of combat, and 60 FPS in combat. And this is noticeable. Bouncing between 60 and 30 FPS is jarring and creates an uncomfortable experience when going through dungeons where there's a battle every other second. The game itself is classic Tales. This is probably one of the few Tales games that I highly recommend as the story, characters, and combat are all top notch. As all Tales games, the characters do fall into their classic tropes, but I feel like with this it's at least obfuscated by the interesting story and decent (if not awesome) voice acting. The characters feel alive and the world feels lived in. Overall, Tales of Vesperia was deserving of this re-release as not many people got to play the original on the Xbox 360. Still, do yourself a favor and play it on the PS4 or PC where it will maintain 60fps and look gorgeous while doing it.

Good but the multiplayer design is lacking
I enjoyed what I've played of this game so far. The problem is, my girlfriend did not. I've been desperately looking for something we can both play together, and this caught my eye for it's ability to have multiplayer. The problem is, it falls flat on it's face with absolutely no explanation on how it works. Granted we figured it out in a few minutes of online searching, but still, it should be more apparent. During battles, the camera follows just the primary character. If other characters fall out of frame... oh well. Even if it wasn't multiplayer, the camera should pan out and pan to include all players and NPCs in frame. She couldn't see her character, or what she was doing, meanwhile I was getting ganged up on, and eventually died, along with our interest in playing this in multiplayer mode. That being said, as a single player game, it holds quite a bit of my interest. It plays something similar to Ni No Kuni and Lightning Returns (FF13-3), leaning much close to Ni No Kuni minus the familiars(think pokemon) stuff. The story seems fun, and the battle system is relatively straight forward. For the price I paid I would highly recommend it for someone looking for a color RPG. I haven't run into the voice acting issue others have mentioned, but I can be pretty obvious to that stuff, as it matters little to me for games I'm not super vested in.

Classic
A new classic remade, looks great on the switch and plays well especially since its now portable and easily played anywhere. Newcomers will enjoy a fun battle system and story line to pass the time.
