Tales of Abyss - US Bound
2006: The Year of the PS2 RPG.
Yet another high profile RPG coming to the US and believe or not it's a Tales game! http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/rpg/tale...ml?sid=6148428 And here is a nice new trend! New content promised for the US release:

First Rogue Galaxy and now Tales of the Abyss. I think I just wet myself. ;_______________;
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
oh, hell ya! there is a god!! I didnt think this would get an NA release.. im so happy right now, almost into tears :P
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
So now I wonder what the US exclusive content will be. I'd rather them skip exclusive content and voice the ENTIRE game this time. ToL had half the voice content missing which were missing from the character quests. That was pretty disappointing to me at least. But if they are adding additional content then maybe they're taking this game seriously and there won't be any budget cuts.
I don't care much about new weapons, but extra skits and sidequests would be nice. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I was speaking idiomatically. |
all i care about is the loading times.. and framerate issues on the overworld map. other than that.. im cool, im stoked to just play it!

Ugh, another 3D Tales game?
I wanted Tales of Rebirth. That had some high-quality 2D spritework. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
I wouldn't be too annoyed-- Tales of the Abyss is not like Legendia. While it's no Rebirth, I admit, it's an excellent game.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Abyss is better than Rebirth. Man, you guys are no better than GameFAQs in this regard. We're getting one of the best Tales games ever (the 10th anniversary game, no less,) and everywhere I look I see responses like "...I wish it was Rebirth."
It kills me that 90% of the people saying that have never even played the game and only want it because OMFG HIGH QUALITY 2D GRPHXS. I've played both, and Abyss is by far the better game. AND I've never even finished Abyss. I did finish Rebirth though, and had absolutely no will to play through it again with the gradeshop. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Kiss my hairy white ass. The only Tales game I haven't played is Tales of Tactics, and I still think Rebirth is better than Abyss. Rebirth is absolutely perfect in almost every regard to gameplay-- loading times, speed, comboing, camera, and hit detection all work beautifully. Story isn't exactly stellar, but now you sort of expect racism to always have a role in Tales games.
Abyss, though not to same degree, has a lot of the problems Symphonia has. Plus you have to tack on the loading times. How ya doing, buddy? |
I was mostly directing it at this comment, which proved what I said...
The gameplay was fun but I still like Destiny 2's battle system better (it's extremely fast), and the fact that hi-ougis in Rebirth were finishing moves made me very sad. I also don't think there were enough skills to use in battle and they weren't exciting/flashy enough. Abyss had better music, at least. (less Tamura, more Sakuraba) Most amazing jew boots |

From the screenshots, it looks like a combination of Symphonia and Legendia.
But damn, Rebirth does have some very pretty sprites. I'd love to see both come over. Admittedly, just as far as graphics are concerned, Rebirth does look a bit more "fresh" while Abyss looks a whole lot like Symphonia and Legendia have a love-child. But I'll take whichever I can get.

Amazing. It's a very good thing that I picked up a Swap Magic just recently. I don't have the cash to spend on all of these RPGs

Finally, I also kind of agree with the music. I thought some tracks in Rebirth were great, but Abyss had a great soundtrack for having those cool remixes. FELIPE NO

Anyway... I could watch the entire Crazy Comet chain 10,000 times and never get bored of it. Oh well. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
You missed my point there. What I'm saying is that, with the evidence shown, all you can prove is that he would have preferred Tales of Rebirth, and one of possibly many reasons is because he thought the 2D graphics were nice.
You're assuming anything else. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Namco US would not bring something that didn't even make a hit in Japan... Rebirth is probably the only Tales game that did not make it into the "Playstation 2 THE BEST" series, meaning that its sales record is pretty low.
I didn't like Abyss that much, but at least it's got a much more interesting storyline than Rebirth, and the fact that you can run freely around the battle area like Star Ocean is definitely an appealing factor to fans. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Hell yeah. I'm surprised as to how many people are taking this news so amazingly. Blogged about it this morning and I'm finding nothing but love for Abyss.
Time to buy it a second time! (Anyone wonder what'll happen to Karma?) I was speaking idiomatically. |
Im really wondering about this exsculsive stuff, for the NA version. I think it would be cool to have an optional dungeon, or optional boss or 2.

Even more good RPG news. I've only played Tales of Symphonia and Phantasia and I've found them entertaining. I haven't got to Legendia but I'll probably get around to it after clearing more of my back log and when it gets to around $20. None the less, I'm looking forward to it.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
I'm so looking forward to this it isn't even funny really, when I saw the initial screens for Abyss back in the day I thought to myself how hot the game looked just with the artwork and initial screens. Then it was skipped over for Legendia, leading to ANGUISH.
But no more, this is great news. The question is how much of my backlog can I vanquish before this is released though. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
