Tales games are notorious for having time-sensitive missables. A lot of "If you want this specific skill, you have to talk to this person after youve started the dungeon, but before you fight the boss, but the person is on the opposite end of the map."

Dragon's dogma missables are more "important" in that they can lock you out of certain quest and such but there are less of them and they aren't as time sensitive or obnoxious.

If you want a story focused anime-rpg then Vesperia, if you want a more dark medieval fantasy rpg with some of the best action combat in a game, then DD.

TLDR: I'd say DD unless you're really into the anime aesthetic and heavy story focus.
