I don't play the game, but this movie takes time before the game right?
good movie, even tho I don't really understand about aer and blastia
the plot also bit flat for me..
A great movie with nice sound and animation although the ending was a bit anti-climactic for me D: Now I badly want to play the game ><
Also nice to see a Mieu plushie. So cute <3
Why did the dogs have to die? ;______________;
Poor Repede waiting for his dad while wagging his tail :(
And the captain. Omg T_T

Oh and btw for those of you who have not played the game, do so. It is an incredible game with a much larger complex story with many awesome villains, etc. This movie was mainly a very small short sub plot that was a prequel to the games massive story line. If you watch the credits at the end, all those events were from the game.
I would if only I had an xbox. I wouldn't buy it for just one game though. I really hope Bandai releases ToV in PS3 T_T

Even though I have never played the game this was a nice show on its own but it did leave me wanting to know more about it especially those ending credits and since I know this is a prequel to the actual game I might just pick it up to learn more about it plus I heard the game is actually pretty good we'll see what happens. 7/10
Just as Gsrista said, "what a bunch of childish kids".
I feel like this was made for the fans of the game. I certainly wasn't invested in this movie. The movie started in a way I don't think would hook people into the story, which is to dive right into the middle of the story without giving a proper introduction to the main characters first. As a result, I don't really care what's happening to the story, nor do I find the main characters interesting. Yuri in particular is kind of annoying me.
It wasn't until halfway in the movie that something interesting happened.
So I'm guessing the "aer" I keep seeing people talk about it the same as the "air" they kept saying in the movie. I thought that they were talking about the air we breath and not random fantasy term number 92 that I didn't know because I never played the game. Never thought it affected by enjoyment or anything but still thought it was goofy when they said stuff like "We'll take control of the air!"
Yeah we finally got Tales of Vesperia in the West. The 360 release was just a demo, I guess Bandai understood that releasing their mothership title on xbox was a bad idea.
So now we can watch this prequel and after that jump into the game. Patty FLAT IS JUSTICE Fleur.
Not gonna lie, the movie enhances the game and Flynn's character immensely! Now I wish that the twins were more than sidequest characters in the game.
Also, this made me realize how much we need a Tales of Vesperia anime and a minimum 24 episodes one because the characters shine the most when they're just goofing off
That end credit visuals seem interesting, really thought it was a sequel preview. Anyways that was a great final battle with Garista, it was like he was defeated by Niren himself in the end. I guess his (Niren) death was inevitable since he showed so much death flags on his head, but it was emotional though.
Enjoyed it and wish for the sequel. 7/10.

I am surprised by how good this turned out to be. Considering previous Tales adaptations, I went into this expecting a somewhat of a mediocrity adaptation, but it managed to pull through. I am truly impressed. What I was able to pinpoint is the overall atmosphere in the movie that is quite distinguishable from the video game. While the game balanced the lighthearted and serious moments well, the film maintained its almost somber mood throughout its duration, giving off a subdued feeling to me. Another thing that I liked was the battles that took place, more particularly, the bar fight. Unlike Tales of the Abyss horrendous, irrational battles, the ones here were more fluent, intense, and almost realistic.
Most of the new characters, the ones that weren't in the game or made only a minor appearance in it, were interesting enough, most notably, the captain, Niren. The film sustained its simplicity and delivered noteworthy results. It was nostalgic to see major video game characters, like Rita and Raven, up to their usual antics. Baby Repede is just too precious and adorable. I was a bit took aback by how extremely strict and a stickler to the rules Flynn was before everything happened. That was an odd sight to witness compared to the kindhearted, selfless true knight that is Flynn in the present.
Overall, the best Tales adaptation so far, for me. I give it a 7/10.
Damn this could've been such a good movie if the villain was given more screen time lmao. Also who tf are those twins I don't remember seeing them in the game but they seem very likeable.

I was a bit disappointed. I like that it fleshed out the story of the game, but it was fairly predictable. The "twist" of the villain was obvious from the start.
I was hoping they would show how Rapede got into smoking, but I did think it was cute that he had a bone in his mouth when he was just a pup.
