YMMV
Some will say Symphonia, some will say Destiny DC, hell I'm sure some would even say Berseria. Personally I'd go with Vesperia because it has one of the most consistently enjoyable casts, and biggest world in a lightning-in-a-bottle moment in time where the team still thought in PS2 terms of grandeur while having Microsoft's budget to pull it off in next-gen, and then Xillia 2 because it's got the best combat in the series, an interesting more modern take on the typical Tales fantasy world as well as a second look at a liked enough party and how they've changed since the first game and me being a complete sucker for its more dramatic storyline ie Alt!Milla, Victor, Julius, Song 4 U
