Item Description
Luke fon Fabre is not a likable hero, at least not at first. He is sheltered, arrogant and quick to blame everyone else, a young noble of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear who has spent years confined to his family's manor after a childhood kidnapping wiped away his memories. Tales of the Abyss puts that self-absorbed heir at the center of a story about prophecy, identity and responsibility, then makes him earn his growth the hard way. Watching Luke change is the reason so many players rank Abyss among the strongest stories in Namco's long-running Tales series.
The world of Auldrant runs on the Score, an ancient prophecy that dictates the course of nations, and much of the drama comes from people deciding whether to obey it. Luke is swept into that conflict alongside a memorable party: the composed soldier Tear Grants, the razor-tongued Colonel Jade Curtiss, Luke's easygoing servant and friend Guy Cecil, the young Fon Master Guardian Anise Tatlin and Princess Natalia, with the tiny cheagle Mieu tagging along for comic relief. Their running banter, delivered through the series' trademark skits, gives a long journey plenty of warmth and humor.
Battles use the Tales series' real-time Linear Motion Battle System, here in its Flex Range Element form. Free Run lets you break away from the straight line between you and an enemy and move anywhere on the battlefield, while the Field of Fonons system adds a clever elemental twist: artes leave glowing circles on the ground, and using the right arte inside one transforms it into a stronger version. Fights are quick and flashy, and they reward experimenting with combos and party setups. Namco Tales Studio's 3DS edition reworks the presentation around the system's two screens and adds stereoscopic 3D to the adventure.
Abyss began life on the PlayStation 2, and this handheld version is the convenient way to carry its sizeable story with you. It is a meaty, character-driven RPG that rewards patience: the early hours deliberately test your opinion of Luke, and the payoff is a turn fans still talk about, marked by the moment he cuts his hair and resolves to become someone better. If you have only heard about Luke's reputation, this cartridge is a fine place to find out how he earned his redemption.

About the game
Redesigned to make use of the dual screens of the Nintendo 3DS, and now with stunning stereoscopic 3D graphics, Tales of the Abyss is an entirely new handheld experience. Accompany a party of adventurers as they explore Auldrant, a world ruled by an ancient prophecy known as the Score. As a child, Luke fon Fabre, sole heir to the throne of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear, was kidnapped by a rival kingdom. The trauma of this incident caused him to lose all memories of his childhood. Since his return, he has been confined to his family's manor for his own safety, completely unaware of the evil that now draws close.
