Kosuke Fujishima (ToP, ToS) graces us once again with his presence with this great epic. The game is in full 3D, and offers the Flex Range Linear Motion Battle System (FR-LMBS), allowing players to roam anywhere on the battlefield. This game is said to be the current rival of Tales of Symphonia for the title of "Best Tales Game". >> Storyline   >>In the world of Auldrant, Fonons are the main composition of all things, giving life to everyone residing on it. Here, everyone relies on the prophecy known as "The Score". The Score dictates everything that is to happen in Auldrant, and not following it is considered as a crime against the Order of Lorelei, its keepers.   Enter Luke fon Fabre, the son of the Duke of the Kingdom of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear. When he was just ten years old, he was kidnapped by the enemy empire, Malkuth. This left him with a devastating trauma; he forgot all his memories from before he was kidnapped. Ever since then, he has been forced to remain in the mansion, never knowing what life is on the outside.   Seven years after the incident, the arrival of a mysterious woman in the Fabre Manor causes Luke to be spirited away halfway across the world, to the Malkuth Empire. There, he gets caught in the businesses of the Order of Lorelei and the Score, throwing himself in the abyss of his undeniable destiny... >> Staff Review by a745   >>This has got to be the BEST Tales game ever! Graphics are amazing, and the story line is one of the most unique ones I've ever seen... Well, maybe except for the part where Luke cuts his hair, 'cause it sort of reminded me of Dagger/Garnet from Final Fantasy IX.   For one thing, the voice acting was terrific, both in the Japanese and English versions! There was this nice ambiance in the game, giving it this sort of "paper" theme.   Battles are great to watch and play, considering the graphics and cool Fonic Artes and Mystic Artes/Hi-Ougis. One thing I didn't really like in the game was the camera angles. There were, sad to say, some parts of the game where the camera would've been better if it were closer, or vice versa.   In terms of gameplay, this game featured almost 180 hours of gameplay, giving it a high score in the gameplay factor. There are a LOT of sidequests, enough to make you go crazy^^; This game is so versatile, it rivals the everpopular Tales of Symphonia, another masterpiece by Kosuke Fujishima. Although, Symphonia would still be able to beat this game because of many factors I cannot elaborate here^^.   All in all, it's one of the best games I've ever played for the PS2, perhaps even bette than Final Fantasy XI if you consider its splendid humor. This is a MUST have. >> Staff Rating by a745 Enough of the nonsense. There really is no 6-star rating. Although you have to admit, this game is pretty addicting... † Phantasia † Destiny † Eternia † Destiny 2 † Symphonia † Rebirth † Legendia † the Abyss † the Tempest † Innocence † Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon † the World: Narikiri Dungeon 2 † the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3 † the World: Summoner's Lineage † the World: Radiant Mythology † Symphonia: Knight of Ratatosk † Fandom: Volume 1 † Fandom: Volume 2 † Mobile † Gallery † Wings of An Angel Scanlations † Videos † Audios † Avatars † Signatures † Wallpapers † Tales Song Lyrics † Tales Character List † Tales JukeBox † AMV of the Month † Tales Fanart † Tales FanFiction † Tales Comics † AC's YouTube Page † The People Behind... † Support the Site! † Site Archive † CoD4 Central † Crimson Midgar † Derris-Kharlan † Enchanted Elysia † Eternal Eternia † FF12 Sector † Final Fantasy † Final Fantasy XIII † Game Valor † Innocent Shine † Interregnum † Kingdom Hearts † Kingdom-of-Tales † Kouli's FAQs/Guides † Lloyd Owns Fayt † Majinken Forums † Nakushita Kotoba † NeoGeoForLife † Never-Ending Stories † Nintendo Sanctum † Play-Asia † Raijinken † Roses and Oar † Symphonic Heaven † Tales Channel † Tales-of-All † Tales of the Club † Tales Galaxy † Tales-of-Namco † Tales Online.net † Tales Otaku † ToP: Teishi ni Hikkakamasu † Tales of Stupidity † Tales World † Tales Zelda Union † Temple of Undine † Ultimate Ninja † Valkyrie Guild † Wings of An Angel † YesAsia † Ziedrich   Post your shouts or whatever here~!   Abyssal Chronicles is a Tales of Series fansite owned by a745 and sukotsuto.
