Well, the Tales series has had this underdog status seemingly forever despite a number of incredible titles and growing a devoted fan base in the process. So it begs the question, when does this title shed this reputation and sit upon the same shelf as the Final Fantasies and the Dragon Quests of this world? Perhaps this would all be answered with the next instalment in the series, Tales of the Abyss. It has garnered a reputation as a series that offers budget versions of these ground-breaking titles but on its day, this series stands on its own merit as a great JRPG franchise.

This game promises to be a fantastic tale right from the start with a captivating premise. You take control of Luke Von Fabre, a captive that has lost all memory of his previous life. He returns to his luxurious life and grows into an unlikeable brat who wants nothing more than to inhabit his mansion and waste his days away. She fails and in a confusing turn of events, they both get transported to another area of the realm with only each other for companionship.

Along the way, you meet a series of characters that will travel with you, share their skills and unique abilities with you and help you on your quest. Each of these characters has a great deal of depth, well-written dialogue and really help to keep the game fresh as you move from location to location. The combat style is incredibly rudimentary which may not please JRPG fans that enjoy a more nuanced fighting style but it does have a 3D environment to work in which offers a very reactive and evasive set of strategies much like the Nino Kuni series.

The battles are also very fast-paced and if you blink you might miss some of them. Even the boss battles that can often take upwards of an hour in games within this genre seem to wrap up in minutes. It can leave seasoned players with a rather hollow feeling at the end of each encounter but for more casual players this might be a more suitable format that gives validation for good tactical preparation.

What must be said is that the visuals are well below the standard of similar JRPG titles upon release. The textures are grainy, the character models while interesting lack the detail and flair to make them really special, the environments while structurally sound are rather bland in areas and as a whole, the presentation seems a generation behind, as if it belongs on the original Nintendo DS.

Tales of the Abyss offers a competent story, a decent combat system, a batch of deep and well-written characters, and a wealth of quests. Yet it still pales in comparison to one of the big hitters in the general.

Perhaps this is down to the fact that nothing in this series feels like it is uniquely their own doing but rather a by-product of another franchises past glories. Browse games Game Portals.
