Tales of Vesperia DLC: single-use items only - Image 1


Namco Bandai recently revealed the new DLC that's supposed to augment your Tales of Vesperia playing experience, and we were surprised to find that it was an otherwise healthy mix of useful DLC that can be bought to make your characters stronger, but not make them uber-powerful for the whole game.

The case in point for the DLC offerings happens to be the level-up packs you can purchase to get you through the game: a Level Up + 10 and two Level Up + 5 packs. These can only be bought once (The Level Up + 5 is numbered 1 and 2) and therefore only be used once in the game, giving you a maximum of 20 levels for 700 Microsoft Points .

As the above picture indicates, all the DLC actually shows up as limited-use items in the Tales of Vesperia menu, so you can actually choose to buy them and use them at the beginning (to get through the start areas quicker) or near the end of the game (for the extra dungeons).

In any event, the full list of DLC currently available for the game can be found via the source link below. Just note that it's in Japanese, so you may want to have an online translator handy when you access it.

Yea...

Take the fun out of RPG's by giving you instant level ups for a reasonable price. GG Namco. Sometimes DLC is just stupid, this is such a case. What happened to the old RPG's where you had to grind your way till level 99? (Final Fantasy VIJP/IIIUS anyone?)

Level 79 Plus 20

Presumably with this DLC, you can just grind your way to level 79, and then use the DLC to bump yourself up 20 levels. This is supposed to be an achievement for the game as well (reaching LVL 99), so it's actually kinda useful, if you don't want to grind your way to victory.
