[PS2] Tales of The Abyss

Well their super big surprise is something relating to a contest, not with the actual content of the game itself.

I'll probably go out and get the game today if I can find it and waste my semester getting every single little thing.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The game takes a year and a half to save because it has to create two save files, although that's not much of an excuse.

The overworld map is so crappy you can glitch it up by taking out the disc and closing the tray and go anywhere in the game, although going somewhere that is obviously ages away can cause you to be permanently stuck there, but it's still fun to roam around and get all those search points.



When you put the disc back into the ps2 though you should probably make sure you aren't in a location that will get you stuck (which can be a chore because you can't see diddly squat since you glitched up the map), but if successful you can obtain lovely prizes at the beginning of the game.



There's nowhere I can't reach.

This glitch will also apply to a certain event in the game with a certain character, which will leave that person in your party permanently.

Although he sucks for shit and it ruins your chances of doing any sidequests. Still, fun nevertheless!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Everything else is identical and you can play through the entire game without any problems. Still, 250 attack power sword = phail. It really isn't worth it.

Spoiler:

Also because it gets rid of Mieu (who is for some strange reason loyally attached to Luke, so anything that involves Mieu is also out of the question

But yeah, it's only worth it if you mess with it on a second file for kicks.

nvm just got that Meadow Crystal >>;; Sup Swordian Dymlos. Still can't unlock that darn Elven Bow (for Natalia's US Exclusive Hi-Ougi)... Din is the worst girl ever.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Ask Nintendo.

I was speaking idiomatically.

It was Nintendo's decision to get Symphonia put on Gamecube, not Namco. It was neglected later by the PS2 port anyway which everyone loved (people are loyal to their Sonys).

Tempest didn't score "horrible", it just received one of those "This isn't anything you should go out and buy right now, but it's not a heaping pile of trash." kind of scores. I guess you'd say it was average.

Their main complaint was poor AI, which has plagued the Tales series since day one so that's not really surprising anymore.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Probably related to the hi-ougi bug maybe?

Then again the game does like to lock up for no reason at all, so who knows.

That REALLY ticked me off. Could've been worse I guess...

That's how the original scene was, in all of its crappiness.

I was more bothered by the

Empty Cheagle Cage witha Cheagle inside, good job model glitches

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Just names & minor dialogue changes (like from shit/junk to dreck) were changed. No real censoring there

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Symphonia had about two, maybe three towns/cities in both of the worlds combined that were really spectacular. I think the thing with Abyss was that there was more interaction with things in the cities that makes them more appealing. I would have never imagined going on a sidequest just because I accidentally interacted with a flyer on a bulletin board.
