Has anyone played this yet?  I'm waiting for it from gamefly.  Is it as good as Tales of Symphonia or doesn't it not match up?

Yossy would have made this topic if she had a PS2.  ._.

I don't know anything about Abyss, except that the character design was done by Kousuke Fujishima, who is my homie snorkel muffin.

I really really want to play it, but I won't have the opprotunity to unless it is released on GCN.

Yes, Symphonia was released on Ps2 only after it was realized how much of a success it was on the GCN.  I shall remain hopeful~

Well, Chester was my favorite character from Phantasia, and everyone here knows Zelos is my favorite from Symphonia.  After looking at all of the characters in Abyss, I think the main dude, Luke, looks the coolest...
I was going to say something suggestive about their possibly questionable sexual orientations, due to their somewhat effeminate appearances, but now I've decided against it.



And now, a convenient diversion!!

<3 Zelos' hunny senses are tingling.

I really wanna give Tales of Symphonia another try. Maybe this time I'll actually get to, like, an animated cutscene or something 30 hours in.

Umm, the first animated cutscene is at the very beginning, as Kratos narrates the stuff about angels, godesses, and the Chosen.  The second is about 10 minutes of gameplay later, after speaking with Remiel the first time, and shows the Tower of Salvation rising from the ground.

The first substantial animated cinematic is the awakening of the Great Kharlon Tree, near the end of the first disk.

That's probably because you're looking for the typical aspects of anime... Fujishima's first few cinematics are mostly scenery... and darn pretty scenery, too.

The PS2 release of ToS had a few added cinematics, including Colette's first use of her wings, a bonus scene somewhere in the middle of the game, and an extended ending.

Okay, I'm getting very confused. I can't find ToS for PS2 ANYWHERE online, except for Japanese import versions. eBay fails, Amazon.com fails. What the hell is going on, here?


edit: Ok, that's messed up. All this time I was under the impression that they just ported the english version over to PS2 but LOL NOPE. Great. Guess I'm not gonna play ToS after all.

Have you seen the Japanese version of ToS' intro?

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7487914986321283905&q=symphonia

It's so stupid.  Motoi Sakuraba's intense, dramatic score completly owns that out-of-place J-Pop.




edit:
I've just watched the Japanese Tales of the Abyss intro, and HOLY COW it's awesome.

J-Pop again?!  Augh!
I don't care too much... I just like watching Fujishima's amazing animation...  the man is an artistic genius...

I thought the game was PS2 / GC. ?_?
Symphonia is, yes.  But not Abyss.  I'm nt quite sure what you're asking.  o_o



I don't have anything against J-Pop, collectively.  There are a couple J-Pop songs that are awesome, but the particular uppity tune selected for the ToS intro seems completely unsuitable...  The TotA one wasn't as bad.  I guess that one would qualify as J-Rock.  The male singer is also an improvement.  That's just me, though.  I can't stand female voices, and that goes for american music, too.  Sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard. :P

I saw Tales of Abyss at Best Buy two days ago. It looked kinda neat, but ultimately I didn't buy it. I pretty much assumed it was a typical RPG and therefor a giant waste of my money. I bought DMC3 and Tony Hawk's American Wasteland instead.
