From what I heard the US versions suffered, don't expect it to have even a glimmer of the soul that Tales games have when played in their Japanese...the deletion of Face Chat (wonder if that's in Symphonia) was critical, and Namco's bumbling translations never helped for US players, I'm told, though given that Xenosaga US allegely showed some care, you never know...

Yeah, Xenosaga was apparently brought almost intact, but Namco has been butchering the Tales series for the US releases. If you can't read Japanese though you don't have much choice, sadly.
I just got the import. It takes a lot for a game to impress me these days... but V&B is just... wow, stunning. A true work of art. It's almost like walking into an art gallery the first time, only you can actually play it. :)
