Will do. :3 There are 19 scenes, I've transcribed 16 of them and translated 14. A few lines give me major issues and I either gloss them over with what I think fits in there based on the surrounding conversations or attempt really awful "jist" translations. Worst one was when Jade made a pun and I had to make it make sense in English ffffff. ;~; He's kind of difficult to translate at times.

I mostly just struggle with scenes where they meet Tales characters whose backgrounds I don't know and they shoehorn in story elements from those games and I'm just like "bwuh? Swordians? Lenses? The hell??" xD;

Yaaaay Jade-related translations!
The more you learn about something, the more you realize just how much you don't know. I've shelved my more ambitious ideas in favor of smaller, more feasible projects and contributions. While I still have an ongoing project, and still intend to experiment with improving Gen 3's multiplayer, it's been much less stressful doing smaller things, like entries for Anthroyd's MAGM contests.

In order to play a Spin off game, you must play the other games in this series or you won't know what the hell is going on. x]

Well you can still get the general idea, usually. The characters they choose are usually interesting and well-defined enough that even if you don't know the plot, you can still enjoy the interaction.

But knowing and loving the characters from actually playing the games definitely helps. x_X;

Dude, stop trolling. This is a post what you think about the remake of the game, not a thread where you complain about the characters. Plus, Luke FTW. Jade is the sexiest beast though. ^.^
Yeah, true. But I like Luke's hair short with his bangs long, it looks bad ass for him (IMO). in the game (PS2 version), I'm not even close to half way point xD
Spoiler:
I'm at like going back to Luke's town after passing the port, I'm on the ship way there, and guy got cursed by Sync, and nothing has happen (I seen the anime part of this anyways where Sync Cursed Guy).


I put it in spoiler cause some people may not know the story the people who is gonna pick up the 3ds port.

But so far I gotta say, Im addicted to the game xD

Well, I think I might be buying this game when it comes out for the 3DS. No, make that WILL. I missed out on this for not having a PS2 - but I'm sure that I'll be enjoying it a lot on my 3DS.

I'll be playing this game as a completely new game... that kind of feeling is rare... Especially with ports/remakes... And I'm an RPG guy, too. I try everything, too. Maybe, just, maybe this one will be something that I'll really like...

Let's keep Abyss talk in here and the general series talk in the Tales club then. :>

\o/ @ people getting the game for the first time on 3DS. You will not regret it, it's such a fun game.

That's exactly what I meant. So! Why is it that the 3DS version is released in Europe but the PS2 version wasn;t?

Probably cause people asked Namco to release tota, but a 3ds port was into play so they are localizing the game in Europe and America? (thats my guess on it i guess? lol) Glad atleast Europe will get the chance to play Tota tho :3. (off topic: and ToGF is releasing in Europe too).

3DS is games are probably gonna sell a bit more or be more noticed right now since there's not much else on the platform. That and I think Abyss got a much bigger fan following in the end than they expected from its initial sales, so they want to push it into more markets.

I imagine if they WERE trying to export Abyss to PAL, they might've stopped upon seeing how few sales it got in NA. Even though that was their own dumb fault by releasing a somewhat-niche JRPG the week before Final Fantasy XII. What did they think would happen? XD

Speaking of Tales of the Abyss 3DS... I just noticed a comparison video of the loading times.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhkewMS2_AY&feature=player_embedded

I just watched this, and... oh my. I think I wouldn't be playing the PS2 version anytime soon, if the load times were that bad in the PS2 version. Was it fixed in the US release?

At least I won't have to bother with load times when I get the 3DS version.

The Iwata Asks for this game is also out now.

Yeah, Tota 3D runs 20x better than the PS2 version.
But when i get a 3ds one day, i'll get abyss for it even tho I own the ps2 port. xD

Wow, that load time video is IMPRESSIVE. Especially the last one where it shows loading between maps and the 3DS version goes back and forth like 5 or 6 times before the PS2 version even loads the one time. XD;

Being on a faster medium will do loading times much good, as well as proper programming.

The delay in NA is total BS if you ask me. The EU is basically getting the NA version, so why should they get it first? I wouldn't mind if it was around the same time and NA was getting it a couple of weeks later or something, but a few months when the game was localized here... there's just no good explanation for that. =/

Then again, this is just another piece of unreasonable BS relating to JRPGs getting special treatment in EU.

Heh... at least it's not getting canceled, huh? I am a patient man, so... I think I can live with delays. Better than not getting it at all.

Delay? Man, I was really looking forward to playing that this holiday season.
If the 3DS didn't have region protection I'd just import it from Europe, but, oh well...

Anyway, are we getting any (non-gimmicky) new features for this game, or is it just going to be a direct port of the NA version with 3D effects?
I'd really love voiced skits, but that's probably asking way too much...

It is a bummer about Tales of the Abyss 3d got a delay date.
But, atleast we are still getting it. I'm happy Europe is getting it before cause they never had Tota. Also I heard the reason was cause of all the games that are coming out in Nov thats why they pushed it so they can get more sells.

I heard this a while ago when my uncle and older sister was talking about it and is the main reason I'm getting a 3DS for Christmas. ^^
Anyway, when I heard it was going to be released in the UK, I was REALLY happy because I thought I could finally chat to my sister in detail about the actual game not the anime adaptation (which was really good in my opinion) as she has an American PS2 and the American version of the game.
So, I'm really looking forward to it!!

And apparently Graceful is still alive after a very long hiatus ♥

Man I really need to get a 3DS already. *-* Also, looking at the video from the OP, I wish Luke wouldn't cut his sexy hair!

I've been hearing of ToA for a while now but I never thought of getting into the games. It'll
be great to get this game for the 3DS but it's sad to hear the date has been delayed. :\
