There isn't one. Someone is working on the PSX one but he has been for years and is still nowhere near done so I wouldn't hold your breath for it.
The GBA one is closer to the PSX/PSP one (has Suzu playable and a slightly rewritten plot) but the battles have some irritating slowdown and the visuals are like a weird mix of the SNES and PSX games... It's a tossup really. The GBA one has a better battle system (since the original SNES one was very basic) but the slowdown sort of voids the improvements at times. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Nah, Namco just doesn't want to do it. Period. Same reason we will never get the TOD remake or Tales of Rebirth. They try and blame Sony for "not liking 2D games" but what they really mean is "they won't sell enough copies to be worth it so fuck you loyal Tales fanbase...!"
 And to be fair... Dejap took a few "liberties" of their own with the SNES translation patch. On several instances the GBA translation is actually closer to being correct, though the SNES one was a lot more amusing regardless. There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Nope. It never will be either. You can quote me on that.
I pretty much agree with everything else you said at any rate. I'm still going to have to go with profit being the major focus here for them when it comes to this series. It rarely ever churns them out much $$$ to begin with so they usually rely on another company (Nintendo or Sony) to help them release the games if they really want them out. Case in point Tales of Symphonia and Phantasia had Nintendo fanning them wads of bills to release the games over here. Abyss was an anniversary game and was likely to come over regardless. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

You'd be disappointed anyway because it isn't that bad. It's pretty much just a dead average game along the lines of Radiata Stories or Stella Deus. They all have something decent about them but are too poorly executed in some way (Radiata Stories has a far too basic battle system for example) to ever really be anything 'extraordinary'.
How ya doing, buddy? |
