Grinding Is So Last-Gen; Tales of Vesperia DLC Lets You Buy Level Ups

No matter how much you love RPGs, grinding often turns into a majorly time consuming pain in the ass. Good old Namco Bandai knows how you feel – so it’s going to let you buy character levels for Tales of Vesperia as DLC.

While that seems rather handy if you’re regularly getting pasted, you can’t help but feel this rather defeats the point. Really, what you are doing is paying Namco Bandai once to buy the game, then paying them a bit more so you don’t have to play it so much.

How far can you go down this path? Chances are in a month you will be able to pay to simply watch the ending as DLC and decide right off the bat if you want to invest your time finding out how it happened.

Still, at least it’s more useful than Oblivion’s horse armour. Here’s the DLC list:

- LV Up +10 (1) 300 Microsoft Points
- LV Up +5 (1) 200 Microsoft Points
- 300,000 Gald (1) 300 Microsoft Points
- Skill sets 80 Microsoft Points
- HP Recovery Cuisine Recipe Set 100 Microsoft Points

    Whatever happened to good old cheat codes. This is a really stupid move by them.

    I hope whoever actually buys level ups are shot.. in the face.

    Multiple times.

    …What a waste of money that would be. I’d rather pay double or triple that money to get the exclusive Asch costume for Yuri that all the Japanese people got for pre-ordering than waste it on levels that are easy to get.

    Anyway this was the third image when I typed Vesperia into the google image search… Lol…
