collection of Tales guidebooks!
a generous fan who'd prefer to remain anonymous has been uploading complete scans of guides/perfect guide books from across the series, including most mothership titles and even a few spinoffs!!
I can't read a lick of Japanese myself but I've been having fun putting the Graces perfect guide through Google Translate's OCR anyway, would highly recommend to any fan 👍

So I was stuck because I know some people really love Asch so I expanded the list from playable/main characters! I didn't add Mieu because I feel like Mieu should be saved for a future poll on Tales animals/companions. If there is any other character that's your favorite, I'd love to hear who! Please excuse Mieu out of your answer, though 😂

I haven’t played too much of Tales of Vesperia, but Yuri already gave me these vibes.
[Image Description: A digital redraw of the ‘I think we’re gonna have to kill this guy, Steven’ meme, with Yuri Lowell and Estelle from Tales of Vesperia. Yuri’s left hand rests on Estelle’s shoulder and he says ‘I think we’re gonna have to kill this guy, Estelle’ with a look of disgust on his face. Estelle responds ‘damn’ with a look of concern on her face. End Description]

Sometimes you look at a webcomic's plot and visual style and you can tell exactly which game in the Tales series the author was disappointed with.

first off, i just wanna say that i love tales of vesperia sm i'd play it over and over again if i had the time. i love making theories about it, making skits in my head, etc. This princess is a great character who excellently dodged being a mary sue in her universe, though the way she responds to easily traumatic situations is a bit suspicious... anyways, redesigning estelle's outfit was harder than i thought it'd be because i wanted it to be (somewhat) believeable for combat yet have a floral, princess-y vibe to it. i also knew i wanted to redesign the boots even though i'm not experienced with drawing shoes much because the original pair is just... well, it was something else. i liked her underdress (?) so i kept that, just making the bottom "petals" flare out more. her midsection is a bit busy, but i really liked the rouged shirt and corset combo i gave her. also she has a braided "crown" in her hair bc she's royal huehehe. if i gushed about the meaning behing every detail i'd be typing all night, and i've got homework.
