I want Tales of the Abyss! =\

[Shun Goku Satsu]

It wasn't on my mind until just recently, but after seeing a video and listening to some of the battle themes, I WANT IT SO BADLY. I LOVED Tales of Symphonia and I enjoyed Eternia and Phantasia as well. It comes out in the U.S. in October, so I have time to beat what I have. But this takes priority when it comes out.

Random quick video I got from GameFAQs (not a spoiler):

Well, at least I'll get to play this one. Tales of the World:Radiant Mythology looks AWSOME, but it's for PSP only, AND in japanese only. Sucks to be a TotW fan right now. :S

I want a blowjob! But I probably won't get it.

Your topic title is just so whiny sounding. :x

If you want it so badly just get it- but I guarantee that you really don't need it to live.

The thing is, it's not localized yet. Not gonna be til Oct. . I can wait personally. I mean, it looks fun, but it doesn't seem....Narikiri Dungeon 3 fun.

Nice that they are going to use a similar battle to Tales of Symphonia rather then having a side-scrolling fighter thing they had for Tales of Legendia.

I'm guessing you never played Tales of Destiny, Phantasia, or Narikiri Dungeon. That's what Tales of was originally. Personally, I found Symphonia's to be a mindless buttonmasher. At least in Legendia, you actually had to have STRATEGY, since your resources were limited. (Plus, Shwartz is more brutal then ANYTHING in Symphonia...and the cameo fight in the arena in ToS was nothing compared to the Curtis and Isabella fight. You WOULD lose if you weren't high enough. You could inch your way through ToS.)
I just perferred it over the whole...."BUTTONMASH LOL APPLE GEL".

Also, Legendia had another thing over Symphonia. SMART healers. In Legendia, when you tell Will/Norma/Shirley to save TP until you NEEDED the healing, they would SAVE TP. I couldn't count how many times it took Raine until I was at 300 or so HP before she would cast FIRST AID. Not Nurse to heal the almost dead Genis and Sheena. First Aid. On Lloyd. When I was out of Life Bottles. So here's the HP count:
Lloyd Genis Sheena Raine
HP1247 HP 0 HP 50 HP 258
TP 2 TP 53 TP 0 TP 4

I was battling Shadow, all of my characters around lvl 83. Basically, all healers are retards in Symphonia. Plus, they burned through TP like a motherfucker. I dunno how many times I was saved by Will/Shirley with Cure, and then they wouldn't spend ANY TP until just the right time.

I didn't say Legendia's battle was bad, just weirds at first but it grew on me.

Well, you shoulda said so earlier :P


One thing I do dislike about it is the fact you can't do any of Senel's fantastic throws until about half way through the main quest, and even then, the biggest is on Human characters

Despain, It's time you started telling her to give you oral sex. You've been whining since the start of summer :<

Hahahaha, i find some of what you said VERY funny.

Legendia is just as much a button masher as any of the other tales games. I beat the entire game just button mashing till each boss was dead! I didnt use ANY strategy, more so, i never stopped to level up once!

Oh, and speaking of stupid healers... Legendia had the worst. If i didnt tell the healers to heal me, guess what? THEY DIDNT UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE!!! Relying on the spell casters to heal me, was like relying on a Lion not to eat you. Never have i EVER had to command my spell casters SO much before!! in Symphonia they always healed me when it was needed. Only in really difficult battles did i EVER have to tell them to heal me.

I've played every Tales game thats come to america, and never have i hated a Tales game SO bad that I wanted to DESTROY the people who made it, as i did with Legendia. The battles sucked more than ANYTHING! The AI was teh stupidiest thing ever! The controls made me want to break the controller(attack with special! NO!!! DONT GO THROUGH THE ENEMY!!!!)! The enemies were annoying as HELL. THey werent fun to fight at all! But thats probably because Legendia wasnt originally gonna be a Tales game, nope, instead it was to be named Melfes. Not even by the same people -.-

ANYWAYS!! I am SO looking forward to Tales of the Abyss!! I cant believe its coming out so soon! Because well, ToL DID just come out. Two within a year! But I'm probably just used to Final Fantasy taking ages to come out... i am hoping this one makes up for my extreme dissapointment on ToL -.-

...You have gone many points up on my "Dislike" meter. And I never dislike much.


Ok, first issue. I'm SURE you beat Schwartz with just button mashing. I'm sure the fact that many moves could you give you a signifigent chance of winning were losing. DEFINITLY when fighting Mimi Baker, Curtis, and Isabella. Buttonmashing all the way. No change ups at all.


2nd issue. That's cause your supposed set TP consumption to the mid point at least, and set them to Defensive. I did that in Symphonia. Raine spent around 100 TP per BATTLE (including normal battles.) And don't even get me started on Kratos and Zelos.


3rd issue. I'm sure It's SO horrible. And you technically have no right to say it's the worst Tales of game. You played ToD then? ToS on the PS2? Tales of Fandom? Tales of the World? Narikiri Dungeon? Tales of Rebirth? (That last one easily is the worst) Also, I like MelFes, since Soul Calibur 3 rocked.

I think your main problem with it is you were expecting a ToS2. It's not ToS2 at all, it's a NEW game. DIFFERENT. LLOYD IS DEAD. GET OVER IT.

Wow you guys, greatest argument ever. Here's a hint as to the reason of this post: GET BACK ON TOPIC. This is about Tales of the Abyss, not which Tales game sucked the most. Because honestly, I'm sure there's probably a different topic that would fit into.

Anyways, I haven't heard anything about Tales of the Abyss at all, anything specifically special about this one? Not going to be so bright and happy looking maybe?

 

[Dopples]

Well, think Symphonia style graphics, but with more adult looking characters, and a free roam style battlesystem. No more linear system.

Join the club, the game doesn't come out till around October anyway... at least in Canada anyway.
