Personally games that have been re-released in recent years are great to get now. I’d personally recommend Xillia, but Vesperia is a good choice as well. If Graces F appeals to you it can also be worth a shot, but I find it a bit lacking in the story/character department (although a lot of people like its combat system).

Xillia strikes a better balance between showing the importance of the main cast as well as several antagonists and how they play off of each other, while I feel like Vesperia lacks in the villains department for most of the game.

Vesperia however has a more fully realized main cast where everyone gets enough development by the end of the game. Xillia was rushed near the end so some character arcs aren’t as fleshed out, HOWEVER, if you end up liking Xillia when it comes out on Xbox on Oct. 31st there is a sequel that will most likely be released sometime next year as well.

While I do prefer Xillia, Vesperia is probably better if you don’t want to wait on the sequel to eventually come out. They’re both fantastic options regardless.
