The majority of the vast amount of dialogue is competently voiced by an American cast, which is very impressive on a handheld, and nothing has had to be cut from the PS2 version to fit it on that tiny cart. It's fast-paced for its genre, with a lively flow of new party members and locations that helps to keep your interest even when the characters are rabbiting on about seventh fonon resonance and the civil tensions between Kimlasca-Lanvaldear and Malkuth.ĭecent gameplay, but nothing exceptional. It's very heavy on the fantasy jargon, which you have to be prepared to either ignore or swallow if you want to enjoy the story for what it is. The story follows red-haired, teenaged, aristocratic, amnesiac Luke Fon Fabre on his journey from total obnoxious jerk to slightly less of an obnoxious jerk, helped along the way by a cast of considerably more likeable supporting characters. Don't come to Tales of the Abyss expecting a remake: the reality is much closer to a port.
Thing is, though, it's six years old, and subscribes to most (if not all) of the irritating conventions that could make Japanese RPGs of the last decade feel like hard work. That instantly makes it a lot more interesting for you. If you're in Europe, where the game is already out, this 3DS remake of Tales of the Abyss is quite probably the first chance you'll have had to play it. Tales of the Abyss was first released on the PlayStation 2 in 2006 in North America, and never made it any further abroad than that.
