Customization is a big part of Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition. In addition to making desired changes to weapons and skills, appearances can also be touched upon with bonus costumes. Since the procedure of unlocking costumes isn’t made clear, we’ll be running you through the entirety of the process in a convenient manner below.
Tales of Vesperia Costume Titles
Let’s cut straight to the point! In a vague move, you are able to obtain costumes the same way you get access to ‘Titles’.
In fact, some titles aren’t just for the namesake but will alter the appearance of the characters, therefore, such titles grant bonus costumes.
Titles are generally unlocked upon completion of main story related missions, side quests (detailed guide coming soon), special events.
One such instance is with the sub-event titled “Tavern Servers”. For this, you’ll need to first head to Tavern Sagittarius and then interact with the receptionist at the counter to get a part-time job serving customers at this tavern.
All the characters in the team except Yuri and Repede can participate in this task.
The task is fairly simple with a basic cycle of getting orders from the customer, relaying them to the counter, and then getting the desired item to deliver it back to the consumer.
After you’ve finished all three levels for each of the members of the team who have carried out the task, you’ll unlock bonus costumes for the each of them.
In the case of this sub-event, the particular costume titles you’ll be acquiring are listed below for each of the involved characters.
- Estelle: Gracious Waitress
- Judith: Glamorous Maid
- Karol: Lunch Lady
- Raven: Gentlemen
- Rita: Kitty Cat Waitress
Costume Titles obtained via the main story cannot be missed, as they’ll lie in your path, so it’ll be more fitting to discuss side quests that can get you these bonus costumes.
Some of these are limited-time events, so it’s best to hurry in that case; we’ve put the ‘LT’ label for such scenarios.
