IU combat wasn't only great because it was seamless, but also because I felt it had good flow despite the simple controls. So far Vesperia just feels a bit stiff with the combat and doesn't seem like it lets you be as creative with how you approach a battle. I do really, really appreciate that it lets you go into great detail with how you get your party to act. I haven't found a proper use for it yet, I just know that something like that would have made IU so much better, especially because the assholes in my party kept using my revive items when Edward had revive spells.
And whatever typical style comes from the music in IU is still massive amounts better than music in Vesperia so far. The battle theme is already starting to bother me. Although, I actually did think the intro song was decent enough.
Vesperia gets a wolf... IU gets a bear
It is clear who wins
In the battle of cool animals, IU wins hands down.
Vesperia has a pipe smoking ninja dog, which is something that would normally be cool, but in the face of a Norbear? It ain't shit. Norbear is stylin' on Ninja dog.
