it's definitely the most nostalgic but I prefer a few other titles over it.

Does it have all of the typos that the PS3 version had? It was very annoying reading the text boxes and it not matching the voices.

I think a Switch port with the frame rate and typos fixed would be cool.

Hated Ymir forest.

enjoyed the part with Sheena in the dungeon under that town. Loved everything about that game actually, even Ymir forest.

Finished for the night I think. I'm in palmacosta. I beat the sword dancer at level 12, being locked into a 2d plane makes it pretty tough. I usually wait until Raine has photon to fight him but I wanted to do it early.

I played the Chronicles version on PS3. It has a worse frame rate and more glitches than the GameCube original because it's based on the buggier Japan-only PS2 version.

I really love the story of this game, but I played the entire game on auto-battle because I really fucking dislike how Tales Of games play.

that's unfortunate because the gameplay was the main draw for me back in the day.

Anyone here play both the PS2 and 3DS versions of Abyss? Some of the PS2 stuff is still packed away in the garage somewhere due to laziness and it's gonna stay that way for a while, so if I want to get back into Abyss then picking up the 3DS version is my most accessible option currently. So is it worth?

There are no changes other than load times, glitch repairs, and a balancing of unknown difficulty. The 3ds version is superior in every way unless you like abusing the world map glitch

I kind of just want to know how the combat is adapted. Like right stick shortcuts and freerunning, how do those work with 3DS controls?

Hm, well, I have actually tried Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology on an emulator before and from what I remember the shortcuts were activated by left shoulder button while free running was the analog stick, with the dpad being for 2D movement and artes. Would it be safe to assume that Abyss 3DS has a similar control scheme?

60 fps battles and being able to do multiplayer on PS2 abyss is way superior than whatever the 3DS version did. *I will agree that the PS2 load times was ass though*

I still have not given up hope on getting an official tales of destiny remake and rebirth localization. Any day now......

My love for aerial combos is pretty much why I am one of those tales of fans that really loves some xillia 2 combat since damn near everyone is capable of a little aerial action to some extent. Leia and milla are the air combo queens but dammit I can even get gaius' big ass to do a little somethin' somethin' in that game. Any tales of game that has air combos like destiny DC and hearts R is pretty fun.

God I want xillia 2 ported to a modern console or the PC so damn bad so I can play it with like no slowdown.

tbh the aerial ability is one of the only saving graces of symphonia 2 because Emil was pretty fun to play as no joke

Xillia 2 is so fucking fun , I think it's so underrated

disagree, ymir is a bigger pain in the ass. puzzle-wise yeah both are obnoxious, but ymir edges out because it has those narrow walkways with monsters on them that you can't avoid, even with a holy bottle, because they take up the whole path

As for crazy things in the game that I remember doing was getting the I hate gels title on a half experience run.
