Tales of Vesperia gets special edition treatment

Once upon a time, special editions of games were truly special. Nowadays, it seems like very single game gets a special edition. We're not complaining though, because it means fans can almost always count on some extra swag with their favorite games. The latest title to jump on the special edition wagon is Tales of Vesperia, the upcoming RPG from Namco. As special editions go, it's fairly standard. For the price of $69.99 you get a spiffy metal case and a special 10th anniversary soundtrack CD (Tales of Vesperia is just the latest in the Tales series, you see). The CD packs 14 tracks from Tales of Vesperia, while the remaining tracks have been culled from other games in the Tales series. Worth an extra ten bucks? You be the judge.

I will say that while I will not be getting this, I really wish more publishers when making a SE or LE would make that case much like the one above. A nice normal sized metal case. I hate it when I get an SE or LE and the damn thing won't fit into the wall mounted dvd rack cuz it has slots.

On some level I want to say that it's worth it. The metal case, the art work for the cover (which I assume is different from the regular edition) and the CD all sound like it's worth the extra 10$. But at some point you just feel like: I just want to play the game, I don't need any extras.

I'm looking forward to the game more and more, but I'm a little hesitant on buying it day one.

I think the Bioshock special edition with the Big Daddy figure is one of the better SEs so far. The Fable one sounds interesting, what with the in game content and Hobbe figure and all.

My friends speak highly of the Tales series, Tales of Symphonia is probably the most praised... Though I don't know if I'll be checking this one out. Sure, I'd love to sit down with a good RPG, but $60-70 to find out? I don't think so. If I can find it cheap, I might pick it up.

Well, I guess relatively speaking $60 isn't too much more than $50... but at the same time, we've been spending that on every game. It adds up lol.

Supposedly this game takes the good components of Symphonia and combines them with the good components of Abyss... which sounds pretty great to me.

I wasn't too blown away by the demo, but I don't know how I could be... RPGs just don't work in demo form at all for me.

I wish more developers would consider putting Soundtracks out for some of their games. Some games have simply amazing music and I'd enjoy listening to some of it while reading a book or studying. DLC even?

BTW, I'd -never- go to a site called gamernuts.com.
