also, expect a new blog layout D: IF.. IF I CAN MANAGE TO FIND THE SKIT PICTURES OF THE TALES OF THE ABYSS CAST. or

.......idk, I'll come up with something later.

maybe with rappigs? D:

.....was a really great game. D: <3

I'm glad I saved twice before the final battle, haha. I thought I would be able to do the Nebilim quest after the final boss but I ended up not being able to. And there's no way I'm saving it until the second playthrough!! I GET TO SEE JADE AND DIST AS KIDS HOLY SHIT. D: THIS IS THE MOMENT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THE ENTIRE GAME!! I was squeeing so hard when the credits were scrolling and they showed pictures of Jade as a kid. SO ADORABLE DSFDFASFDF

Anyway, I finished Tales of the Abyss last night sometime around 1:30? Watched the credits, squee'd over how cute everyone was when they were kids, and then watched the epic movie after the credits were done. I really want a sequel now. >: Not getting to see how everyone's doing after the events of the game is killing me. (JAAAADE D:)

I'm currently obsessing over the battle music during the fight with Luke and Asch. It's an orchestratic remix of the opening theme, and it's SO AWESOME. I tried really hard to resist cranking the volume up during that fight so I could fully absorb its... epicness. I love the Sound Test extra they gave me, now I can listen to the music without actually playing the game. ;-;

But anyway, I missed a whole bunch of sidequests because I thought I could do them after Van, haha. So yeah, definitely going back and doing them now, especially the one where I get more fonic artes for Jade, goddamn. >: Spamming the same three over and over again gets kind of boring after a while. And of course, the Nebilim sidequest and the scenes I can unlock after that will be epic because DIIIIIST. ;-;

The ending was pretty great, though the little part at the end made less sense the more I think about it. Gotta do that less then. Sorry, I was too busy spazzing over how pretty Jade is with his glasses off. D: I literally had to put the controller down during the cutscene before the final battle because I was spazzing out so. damn. hard.

After I do the sidequests though, I'm going to need to start a new game, because of the new sidequests I can do now that everything's unlocked. I'm thinking about just returning Star Ocean to Andrew because I'm going to be stuck playing Tales of the Abyss for a while, trying to get all of the titles and etc. >: I have to fight Nebilim on Very Hard for one of Luke's titles.. D: Oh boy, that's going to be great. I'll be sure to get the 10x EXP modifier for that if I have enough grade points.

.......

geez, I suspect that all of my school papers will be covered with TotA drawings now. And I'm probably suspecting right. >: <3

.............

HOW MANY TIMES AM I GOING TO HAVE TO PLAY THROUGH THIS LONGASS GAME TO GET EVERYTHING COMPLETED?

......jade and dist as kids. ;-;

Geez, I really don't like finishing games though. After it's all done, I feel kind of... empty? D: And it just feels weird to play it over again and see everyone meet again and go through the adventure again. idk, maybe I'm just sentimental. But this is why I need a sequel based on the same characters. ;-; Not some crap like the ToS sequel where the main cast is completely new.

Oh well, time to unlock Yulia's Tomb and do the goddamned planetary artes sidequest. ;-; argh
