Tales of Abyss (Completed!)
11.17.2006
i'm very happy to finish tales of abyss and i'm very satisfied with the game itself. after completing tales of legendia, i felt that there may be no hope for the tales series. but after playing tales of abyss which is a billion times better than legendia... i felt tales of abyss is probably the best of the tales series so far. Tales of symphonia being 2nd best ^^. and if u have played tales of symphonia before, you will find that the system, battle and menus follow tales of symphonia style. even certain terms are based on tales of symphonia, although tales of abyss is a whole new story itself.

Jade Curtis
Jade is my favourite tales character! don't u just love his sarcasism and bishounen look ^^. i would say that most of the jokes in tales of abyss come from Jade. and because of Jade the game is funnier and livelier. unlike tales of legendia which is longwinded and has lame jokes. 2nd being genis from tales of symphonia ^^. furthermore, i use Jade as my battle lead char 80% of the time! mainly because i can slack with him around. Compared to other tales series like tales of rebirth and symphonia, i also liked to control magic attackers. however, those magic attackers can only cast magic they're not good physical fighters. but Jade is different, you can control jade as both a magic attacker and physical attacker, which is why i like him alot. casting magic is slack which is why i prefer to control magic casters more than phy attackers, i don't want to press the controller until my fingers hurt. lol.
the special attacks in tales of abyss rox too especially mystic artes ^^. i am extremely glad that the tales creators followed the path of tales of symphonia and previous tales series instead of legendia which is a total failure i feel ^^. haha! i keep emphasizing that because its the truth, do not waste time playing that stupid game! for the last battle of tales of abyss i used Jade, Luke, Guy and Tear. i just had tear keep casting revitalise and ressurection on any fallen chars. i felt my party was a bit low levelled.. anise was lv 54 and the rest around 58. i usually run away from unneccessary battles. but its perfectly OK for tales of abyss because the boss fights are all very easy. except for the last boss that may need a bit more strategy. i controlled Jade and just keep casting Absolute from far, if near i will use FOF change on him but it doesn't matter because its safer to cast magic from afar then go near the boss at let him use mystic artes and all that crap that takes 4k-8k damage each person. then if my frontline died i will send Jade to phy att and defend infront while Tear casts resurrection on the fallen allies. then when Jade overdrives i will just use his mystic arte as usual.
spoilers ** (don't read if u haven't finish the game)
I was thinking about the ending of toa. whether the person whu appears is the real Luke or did Jade revive Luke from the dead or create a replica of Luke.
