I can not describe how legit GOATed this game is. The 3ds port is....alright? Not good enough for the majesty that this game is.
Every element of this game absolutely bangs, it is an easy 10/10 and more people should play it. Getting it on PC will help thousands of people play this masterpiece.
Tales of the Abyss is one of my favorite games of all time. I first time experiencing it is watching early youtubers playing the game and just watching how cool the battles looked. Eventually I was lucky enough to find a copy of the game and eagerly brought it home. I was easily taken in by the world building, the characters and the antagonists. Its hard to call Van a villain as he had a good reason for doing what he was trying to do. Granted his plan was insane and he had to be stopped, but it was the first time that really made me consider things from a "villians" point of view.
The true strength of Tales of the Abyss though as I got older and began to understand more about good writing I found even more depth to the stories. This has left such an impression on me that the themes of Tales of the Abyss continue to influence me in my own writing nearly 20 plus years later. The newest version of the game is on 3DS over 10 years ago at this point let alone trying to find a PS2 copy. Please allow this incredible game to come on this platform so others can experience the game as I have.
This is my favorite RPG od all time. Playing this on the PS2 as a teenager was one of the best game experienves i've had. The character of this game are really the stars and make it special. The character growth ofthe main character from start to finish is one of the most well done and well paced arcs of any character i've seen in an RPG, and is probably what made this game stand out to me. There have been good tales games but in my opinion none of them come close to this one. The only port this has had since release of the PS2 was on the 3DS, and playing a long rpg like this on a small screen with worse graphics and sound than the original is really no way to play it at all. I think this game should be brought to GoG so that everyone who doesn't still own a PS2 can play the best Tales Of game.

Parasite Eve II is set several years after the events in the original game. The protagonist from the first game, Aya Brea, also features in this game as the playable character.
