If you think Kingdom Hearts is bad about this, try to keep track of how many times Tales of the Abyss talks about fonons and the Score!
i've got it mostly down. this game was a great primer for me in my "be able to understand and accept the sometimes bs logic of fictional universes"

Like it actually makes a whole lot of sense in my head once I put enough thought into it but maybe I'm just insane.

I think early game Luke is much improved on replays of the game when you understand the full context of his character. On that first playthrough he is indeed insufferable but with the benefit of knowing the whole story I think he's actually a very interesting character when you can place his actions and behavior in context. He's actually a pretty solid guy he just understandably has the maturity of like a six-year old which... is chronologically accurate! It's jarring to see it from a perspective of not knowing which is interestingly both the player and most of the actual cast and they all react accordingly. And yes, that redemption arc is quite the arc.

Love that cast minus Anise still think there was a ton of missed potential with Arietta defecting to the party as her replacement given the situation at the time basically lining up the possibility. Would have made an interesting foil to Luke given their relatively similar situations in origin stories that severely screwed up their emotional maturity with the differences in their support systems giving them very divergent outcomes.

Great OST too, probably my favorite Tales OST though Vesperia can give it a run. Really the Symphonia/Abyss/Vesperia stretch may have been the golden era of Tales OSTs. They haven't been as all-around solid in past years, being more forgettable on the whole with a few singular standouts per game.

Luke is really fun to play but I was a Zelos/Kratos player in Symphonia and he was a bit more in their lane as opposed to the Lloyd/Guy link.
