Welcome to the Official VGChartz community Let's Play of Tales of The Abyss.


Hello, people! So a couple of months ago, Conegamer started the VGC Let's Play of Tales of Symphonia, and from what I read, it was quite a lot of fun. I would have loved to participate too, but I don't own Symphonia, and I have never played a Tales of game before, so I sadly didn't get to play with you.  I have heard very good things about the series for a long time now, so I was wanting to try one of its games. After that run was done, I asked if they were going to make another run of a Tales game, and I had the idea of hosting this one myself. I had never played a Tales game, so I looked the games on the series avalible on my devices (AKA my 3DS), and it was a choice between Tales of The Abyss and Tales of  The Tempest (DS). I found a copy of Tales of The Abyss first, so I decided to play that one! And now we are here.

A bit of information about the game: heres the Wikipedia page, the Metacritic page and the TV Tropes page, if you want to know anything about the game.

A brief introduction, from IGN:  Tales of the Abyss follows the story of the young aristocrat, Luke fon Fabre. Kidnapped seven years ago, Luke returns to his family with no memories of his life before. Suddenly, Luke is thrust into the outside world and caught in the workings of the Order of Lorelei and the Oracle Knights who serve as keepers of the prophecy known as the Score. He must learn of the power of friendship and feel the pain of sacrifice. Luke's actions could save the world or destroy it.

In theory, we should be able to play this game at roughly the same time and speed, so those who want to play will update their journey through the game as they go. Whether you like the game, you dislike it, you have no feeligs towards it, you are an expert of the Tales of series or it's your first time, this yould be a fun experience. If you want to participate, you're welcome. :)

I'm pretty sure this game is not as popular as Symphonia, so not that many people will have it. I'll wait a couple of days to see if enough of you decide to join this let's play (thanks, by the way!) before we start. I have to mention again that I have NEVER played a Tales of game, this will be my first try of the series. As such, I will not read the updates that are more advanced than mine, to avoid spoilers, sorry. Also, I will probably ask a lot of questions througout the game, so please be patient. :P   I'll update this as frequently as I can.

Thank you and have fun!

I'd love to participate, but I'm currently playing through Tales of Zestiria and I just lost two-hour progress in a dungeon, so I feel like kicking a dog, and playing Abyss wouldn't help.



Oooh, I remember doing the ToS play through. That was pretty fun... I was playing through Abyss as well, but I went on hiatus on the game due to being taken away by other games haha. I think I will start again on it soon. Cool to see you are playing it as well. I hope you enjoy it ; )

Wish I could play with you guys. Tales of the Abyss was my first (and only) Tales game, and it was quite good. I played it originally on PS2, but I've heard 3DS has a good port of it as well.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Tagging, I've played this game before, but did a pretty complete run so I don't plan on playing this game again.. :/

Have fun, to those who are participating!

(also am still playing Symphonia so.. :p)

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Tagging, I still have a backlog of games so I'm not sure if I want to add another one, but I'll think about it

Just played two Tales games (Zesteria then Symphonia) so playing some other games for now.
Hope you will enjoy your playthrough!
