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!
