  • Absolute gem of a JRPG

    I'm really, really enjoying Tales of the Abyss! The main character started out so arrogant and selfish but then (insert spoilers here) and now he's really changed and it just makes him feel really human and relatable how he's working hard to earn everybody's trust back. It's also very fast-paced and you never feel like your current mission is without purpose...I really like it! I just wish the skits were voice acted (they are in Japanese but I'd prefer English) because they're pretty enjoyable too and really help flesh out the relationships between the characters. Overall I'd recommend this game to any fan of JRPGs. It's a rollercoaster ride and a true classic Tales game!

  • Pretty dope!

    Improves vastly over symphonia +Combat has been polished to a shine, new additions such as "free run" allow you to move around freely in the combat arena, these new additions are great and allow more options when approaching combat. + story is interesting and has preety good pacing with a pretty good cast to keep you company along the way. -lots of lag and slowdown on the overworld Tales of the abyss is a awesome game that i definitely recommend to arpg and jrpg lovers alike!

  • A magical story with characters you won't forget

    The story is phenomenal, with twists games haven't really touched upon before. The characters are all compelling and well-written to a very human degree, and the nuances in the gameplay make for a really fun and unique RPG experience.
