No other tales of game gave me the feels this game gave me. The main villains (God generals and Van) where morally gray and werent straight up villains except Dist, The main character is an incredible static character that went from most hated to a fantastic friend, Even the strongest boss had her own story via a long sensitive side quest. The main cast where flawed and human. They felt like real people.
Dist isn't evil at all, at least not in nature. Dist and Jade are the same, the only difference between the two, is Jade was stop (At start of the game due the emperor and the army, by the end Jade understand his own mistakes), while Dist pursue his and goal (Which was Jade goal) due luck of friends and eventually being a tool of Van, no wonder the game keep him alive out of all the Six Generals (Although this probably for plot reason)
While it's not noticable for people who haven't played the ps2 version, it is for me. There is no voice echoes where there needs to be. Also Mohs' monster form is supposed to be distorted. Especially with that second issue, its really jarring for someone who has played the ps2 version first.
mikigirl18 I played the PS2 version thrice in a row years ago and I'm having no problems with the 3DS version. Actually, I'm LOVING the reduction time on loading, it's far more easy to level up in the open world and stuff. It has only 4 slots for saving, I know, but I never used more than 3... so, for these reasons, 3DS port is better for me.
mikigirl18 Have you tried playing with phones? Either way, the audio while we use mystic artes bothers me too. It's damn too low. All the rest is ok, IMO.
*!*SPOILERS*!* (UA-cam really needs a spoilers option) I first thought this song was so lovely. And now that I just finished the game, I can't bear my sorrow any more. Thinking of Ash, Ion... I really wished a different path for both of them. I really hoped they could avoid that dramatic ending. It's too painful, but my tears don't want to come out, making it even more sad. I didn't except I will miss this game and theses characters so much. Thanks Tales of the Abyss.
Brutalmente hermoso. A mis 28 años escuchar esta melodía me rompe el corazón, vienen a mi todos los recuerdos de esa niñez que nunca volverá. Este juego siempre tendrá un lugar especial para mí.
This game really surprised me. I expected a generic anime plot with some OK characterization like most tales of. Then, I got a well done character story with an endearing main character who went from an absolute hate straight to my favorite JRPG Protagonist.
this is why abyss is my favorite game in the series. it is not like the other games in the series it is mature and every one no matter if it's the party or the villains is well developed. the only game to be close to abyss is berseria.
@@megamike15 WHAT, I agree with you on everything about abyss, but the fact you said berseria comes close puzzles me, everyone has an opinion, but I thought it was basically a forgotten thing, everyone knows every tales game except berseria, and the majority of people I meet say it's bad(compared to other tales games, but the game isn't too bad), or it's not too bad but other tales games are definetely better
@@megamike15 Abys is my favorite game and I found Berseria to be pretty average tbh. The story didn,t mark me at all. I also dislike Vesperia, the cast is great, but nothings happened in the story... Maybe I'm just a little hars on Berseria, but I found it to be lacking style, it was missing an identity, graphics weremeh and nothing standed out. I'm not saying that graphics makes a good game, but an example of style/identity would be Persona 5, awesome design.
@@simshadows I think there's a lot of thematic overlap in the Tales games, they definitely have differing impact depending on where a person is in their own life when experiencing the story of each. Berseria coming out around the same time as Persona 5 and attempting on a darker tone for each may have resonated better with younger audiences at the time. Perhaps not a coincidence, Disgaea 5 also was doing the same thing, it might have just been where JRPGs were as an industry at the time. And I definitely agree that Tales games aren't made or broken by their graphics either. In terms of polish artistically and mechanically Vesperia absolutely obliterates Abyss, but I enjoyed Abyss on a narrative and emotional level leaps and bounds above Vesperia (and really all of the Tales titles tbh). There's definitely no perfect formula on good character writing, but something about Abyss' characters seems far more timeless than the rest of the Tales games, the plot twists and moments of tension felt like things beyond just the confines of the game itself.
If you don't want an older console and have a 3DS there is an exported version of it for that system as well! I have both, and the graphics have been slightly modified and there's a bit of lag during mystic artes, but it's basically the same! Be prepared for a very long game though, and it's worth every minute.
I found this old game in my dad's ds bin, I played it the first time and it hit my heart so badly... Then I found out my dad had the PS2 version and omg my heart sank. I still play it and I will continue playing this game!
Whenever i played the game, this part always felt so hard to play. Struggling to find the meaning of your existence vs someone who understood his existence was ending.
i love how they only made one song and they keep making different renditions of it, either on different instruments or with different tempos, sometimes with lyrics sometimes not, sometimes it's on a flute, eh who knows what's going to be next, maybe slow piano, wait i found it. gang stay golden, maybe platinum
SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL :'D makes me miss the download mp3 button from google chrome that much more, only downside is the static that im not sure is from the video or my comp...
I love this! I freaking love this! I really really think that this is awesomely beatiful! I...I...I'm crying for this awesomely beauty song! I need to download this!...The link is in the description alright! >:D
Call me nitpicky, but Asch is holding the Maestro Sword. In this situation, he should have the Sword of Lorelei. Great upload, though, I've come back to this video at least once everyday since I found it!
Adding to the that, in the last scene of the game when they show Luke/Asch's backside and his hair blows to reveal his blade, the handle is on the left side. Interestingly enough, Luke is left handed while Asch is right handed, further implying the end result is Luke
Well, the devs are smart enough to get good, fitting songs for the intros each time, but beyond that... almost all the Tales games have the same composer, so it's consistenly similar and good music.
Hay una Partitura Real encerrada en este Videojuego. Solo fijate que te Produce, Revuelve tus emociones y las revela entre si. Un verdadero conjuro.. Tendre que destilarlo y ofrecer la salvacion al mundo una vez mas.
Well damn.......I found my feels. I'm a 21 year old man about to cry over memories of when I first got this game.....
:D
Come here breh. I'm with you m8. We all got the 7th Fonon in us. Now come cry with me.
It was 3 years ago I played the 3ds version and loved it. I swear, I should play through the ps2 version this december
You're 25 now XD
Played it when I was 17 in high school. So many feels.
The normal version brings feelings of Grandure, this brings feelings of sorrow and need. It's amazing, how one instrument changes it all.

Tales of ebbys
Tales of Destiny
Tales of Destiny
Me hicieron sentir más vivo que en la vida real
Dist is more stuck in the past and he can't move on, similar to Jade at first.
This is gorgeous, and yes, anyone who has not played the ps2 version needs to get it!
Agreed! But the 3DS Version is better!

ガラス玉ひとつ 落とされた 追いかけてもうひとつ落っこちた
ひとつ分の陽だまりに ひとつだけ残ってる
心臓が始まった時 嫌でも人は場所を取る
奪われない様に 守り続けてる
汚さずに保ってきた手でも 汚れて見えた
記憶を疑う前に 記憶に疑われてる
必ず僕らは出会うだろう 同じ鼓動の音を目印にして
ここに居るよ いつだって呼んでるから
くたびれた理由が 重なって揺れる時
生まれた意味を知る
存在が続く限り 仕方無いから場所を取る
ひとつ分の陽だまりに ふたつはちょっと入れない
ガラス玉ひとつ 落とされた 落ちた時 何か弾き出した
奪い取った場所で 光を浴びた
数えた足跡など 気付けば数字でしか無い
知らなきゃいけない事は どうやら1と0の間
初めて僕らは出会うだろう 同じ悲鳴の旗を目印にして
忘れないで いつだって呼んでるから
重ねた理由を二人で埋める時
約束が交わされる
鏡なんだ 僕ら互いに
それぞれのカルマを 映す為の
汚れた手と手で 触り合って
形が解る
ここに居るよ 確かに触れるよ
一人分の陽だまりに 僕らは居る
忘れないで いつだって呼んでるから 同じガラス玉の内側の方から
そうさ 必ず僕らは出会うだろう 沈めた理由に十字架を建てる時
約束は果たされる
僕らはひとつになる

Every time i hear this i think of my cat jade, yes i named him off jade from the game
is he Far cuter than the real jade?
Jade the Cat-tromancer
+Roxas The Key of Destiny™ Jade the Neko-mancer.
David Smith Omg, yes xD
i thought jade didn't like it when people name animals after him
Never said you did, just that some people commenting think you made this. But you're welcome. Always glad to help out.
I keep imagining this song playing to the saddest moments of other video games or anime and it just tears me apart.

Thank you so much for posting this! i listen to it while I study and do school work :)
It's been rare nowadays that rpg with a masterpiece story and music like this
You don't know the shivers this song gave me... I love this...
I thought t his was just going to be a piano version but as soon as the vocals s tarted I teared up Q___Q this is gorgeous
Beautiful, I think I'm loving this more than the real version idk it fits more 😊
I found this old game in my dad's ds bin, I played it the first time and it hit my heart so badly... Then I found out my dad had the PS2 version and omg my heart sank. I still play it and I will continue playing this game!
I never comment of anything but wow. the amount of emotion that flustered from every key and word brought a hindrance to all my problems.
...This is beautiful. Just beautiful.
Omg this is... truly amazing
Whenever i played the game, this part always felt so hard to play. Struggling to find the meaning of your existence vs someone who understood his existence was ending.
Chilling voice.the best cover of hers for me.
This is just so nice :) Thank for the links :D
Why are my eyes sweating? 😊 :')
I don't know but it's an emotion we fans can't control, right?
Right on
2020 and still my favourite tales.
Right on it! I will! Always wanted to play it!
So amazing. this gave me goosebumps and made me tear up. holy cow. :D
A female version where someone actually sings instead of editing the original song! :D Props.
Bloody amazing, bravo!
Oh god the feels are overflowing
Y aun sigues igual. Asique prepara tu Redencion. Sigue el quemon, Te llevara muy lejos.
I've been playing the game on the 3DS, even considered getting it for my PS2, but I really like the Anime.
Are you Japanese? Because the anime wasn't released in English (which is a shame) (I also apologize if I seem like an idiot)
swordsmancs There are ways to watch the anime even though it was never released in an English dubbed version.
swordsmancs I watch the English subbed version. If you want a link, here it is: animewaffles.tv/Watch-Tales-of-the-Abyss-116
Dale Tarian Jesdro Oh, that works! Thanks for the link!
swordsmancs
No Problem, I hope you enjoy it.
i love how they only made one song and they keep making different renditions of it, either on different instruments or with different tempos, sometimes with lyrics sometimes not, sometimes it's on a flute, eh who knows what's going to be next, maybe slow piano, wait i found it. gang stay golden, maybe platinum

SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL :'D makes me miss the download mp3 button from google chrome that much more, only downside is the static that im not sure is from the video or my comp...
First you try to kill them, then you fall in love. Classic Tear Grants.
Beatyful. I love this.
when jade said "its other foinc hyms grand" i think its it. Maybe.
soy el único que esta canción le da una calma y paz a su alma?
a mi igual también la veo para desahogarse
+01lansino no, no eres el unico :D
No amigo, no eres el único :') ¡Diablos! ¿Por qué me sudan los ojos?

Tales of the abyss is the most emotional tales of game
That's... beautiful
Beautiful :D
Call me nitpicky, but Asch is holding the Maestro Sword. In this situation, he should have the Sword of Lorelei. Great upload, though, I've come back to this video at least once everyday since I found it!
😭 ToA might not be my number 1 fav of all tales titles but Karma is definitely my fav Tales OP everrrr
Yeah!
This is amazing!!!
I am not going to lie..I teared up..
Holy crap that was the best dub ever o-o...
Malditamente interesante como se Activan esas Memorias Profundas con el Canto de la Doncella..
keeps me going in 2020, and now in 2021
I'm so sad just listening to this beauty ;-;
Adding to the that, in the last scene of the game when they show Luke/Asch's backside and his hair blows to reveal his blade, the handle is on the left side. Interestingly enough, Luke is left handed while Asch is right handed, further implying the end result is Luke
It is both Asch and Luke.
I've only played Tales of the Abyss for about a month or so, but... it's already a really special game to me somehow.
got goosebumps while listening to this
I like this cover. It's very serene.
Cool !thank you so much :)
amazing !!
Well, the devs are smart enough to get good, fitting songs for the intros each time, but beyond that... almost all the Tales games have the same composer, so it's consistenly similar and good music.
YOU DESERVE A MEDAL SIR/LADY ° -°!!!!!!!! *breaks the thumb up button*
amazing
niceee..just nice
I almost forgot to listen to this today
とてもいい感じです!!
とっても落ち着きます(*´▽`*)
YAAAAAAAAAAAA I LOVE THIS
I respect that.
wow...the feels..
Ughhhh need higher quality!
Asch always have fab hair UwU
Thanks I guess?...... *sigh* whatever
(p.s. he does :3)
I didn't realized this has likes and a reply 😂

I need a version with better quality. :x
I'm 8 years late, but beautiful cover
Perfect *-*
4:27 Chills... every time
Guys, this version of Karma was done by Jarako on NicoNicoDouga. It's not the original artist, nor this UA-cam user.
keeps me going
Love it thank u
Wow! You are awesome! Amazing singing! Could I use this for a video?
this song would be used in the credits in ToA - just beatifull :D!!!
WELL OUR LIFE HAS OFFICIALLY COMPLETE
Sugoii....I liked the original song and this also good....
Very nice.
Why is all the music associated with the Tales Of franchise so good?
I played this game in 5th grade... wow
I was 17
I like the piano
She sounds like a siren, beautiful
That's because the person who did it is Japanese. This was originally on NicoNicoDouga.
I would appreciate that!
Is there a sheet for the piano?
..... Magnifique ! :'(
Preciosa canción :D
