  Review by SindeeCyanide ★★★★½

  This is a prequel to the game, "Tales of Vesperia." It covers Yuri's days serving with the Knights. Some of the cast from the game do not appear in the movie, and there are characters in this movie that do not appear in the game.

  The personality for some characters seem a bit different in the movie than they do in the game, but that's probably because by the time you meet the characters in the game, they've had a chance to mature or become more jaded. So if you played the game first, there's a chance that you might not like movie.

  Still, give it a watch anyway because of baby!Repede.

  I rated it so highly because I watched…

  Die Story ist eine schöne Ergänzung zum wundervollen Videospiel, allerdings find ich die deutsche Synchronisation einfach nur furchtbar...

  Review by Rinku ★★★½

  Eine spannende und recht unkomplizierte Geschichte, mit klassischen Anime-Einfluss, da das ganze ein Prequel zu einem J-RPG ist. Die Gegner sind leider schwer zu fassen, da ihre Formen ziemlich random sind und man nie versteht, was und warum, aber es dient dem Zweck und das reicht in dem Fall auch. Die Handlung wird natürlich nicht auserzählt, dafür muss man schon das Spiel spielen, aber es macht einem Lust auf mehr und von der Welt könnte ich gerne mehr vertragen.

  I don't really have much to say about the movie itself (other than it's really good!) but go play Tales of Vesperia

  Watched this in prep for starting to play the main game itself and man, what a ride. This has probably become one of my favorite anime films ever now. The animation, characters, and story are a treat to enjoy!

  Review by Andrew is inactive ★★

  Currently playing the remaster of this game on the Switch, so I figured I might as well check this out. Much like Kingsglaive it's a prequel to the main story of the game and while I'd say it technically works better as a standalone then that does, it's also paradoxically much less interesting as one. Kingsglaive's storyline was something that should have been in its game as opposed to being its own thing but it also boasted some of the more impressive 3D animation and art design I've seen in genre cinema this decade, so even without the plot mattering I'd recommend it on those grounds. First Strike on the other hand has a self-contained plot but doesn't really bother…

  a great, entertaining and beautiful introduction to some of the characters in tales of vesperia the game.
  i planned to watch this before it came out on the switch as the definite edition, now i can fully enjoy the game and see how all of them developed after this one.
