  • Tales of the Abyss

    Namco Bandai's Tales series never strays far from familiar RPG conventions in terms of characters and basic plot. Tales of Symphonia was guilty of using nearly every cliched plot point. (For example, the world of Symphonia could only be saved by a young girl with special powers and her entourage.) Tales of the Abyss begins with a similar cliche: you must avert war by sending a group of key characters from both sides to act as diplomats. However, Tales of the Abyss takes those RPG conventions in new directions and keeps the action moving with great characters, creating what is by far the best installment in the Tales franchise.
