Honestly, I dont think it can beat Abyss...Abyss is my fave out of all of them, though I havent played Vespiria. I do wish that Kratos was actually in the game though, and not the narrator...but I suppose we have Lloyd to fill in for him now xD Yes, I already know a little about what happens in TOS2, but I dont have friends who have a Wii and can play it to ruin the whole thing for me >.>Yes, you should definitely pick up the new Tales of Symphonia. It is by far my favorite game of all time. The storyline is amazing, the battle system is just as good as the rest of the tales games, and the best part about the game is VOICED SKITS! *___*
All right, I will.....oh....looking at the GameStop site, Wii's cost $250....unless I get extremely lucky and a rich relative shows up, then there goes that idea >.>While I do agree that ToS2 may not beat the Abyss storyline, the game is still amazing, and you should definitely buy it.
