Tales of Vesperia positively influenced my life by challenging my views on justice, leadership, and personal responsibility. Through Yuri Lowell, I saw a character who wasn’t perfect but chose to act when others wouldn’t. His moral complexity inspired me to think critically about right and wrong, and to take initiative instead of waiting for change. It reminded me that making tough decisions is part of growing up—and that sometimes, doing what’s right isn’t easy.
The game is great because of its deep story, well-developed characters, and stunning visual style. The real-time battle system is fast, strategic, and satisfying, keeping gameplay exciting from start to finish. The character interactions and skits gave real heart to the story, making the party feel like a true family. Combined with a beautiful soundtrack and detailed world-building, Tales of Vesperia stands as one of the best entries in the series.
It didn’t just entertain me—it helped shape who I am.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed KingDragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King is the eighth installment in the Dragon Quest series, developed by Level-5 and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 2 video game console. It was also later released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2015.
It is a traditional Japanese-style role-playing game with random enemy encounters, simple turn-based combat mechanics, and management of a party consisting of four characters, each belonging to a clearly defined class. Unlike its predecessors in the series and most Japanese RPGs in general, the game features a continuous world with fairly vast landscapes and integrated towns and dungeons, as opposed to world map traveling and locations represented by icons. The game features full camera rotation and optional first-person view.
Like in the previous Dragon Quest games, many objects can be interacted with; for example, barrels can be physically lifted, carried, and broken, to reveal items hidden within.Action Fantasy
