  • if with tales of symphonia you mean and ToS 2...ToS!! Llyod,Emil,Richter and Genis rule!!

  • I can't choose who's the best of the games since I haven't been able to play them. I'll play abyss however when it comes for 3DS(cuz we in Sweden didn't get the ps2 version :c) as I've already booked it XD But for the moment they're both equal to me :P

    Btw what's the song's name it's really good :)

  • Abyss all the way. I enjoyed the characterization in it more. Plus, Genis being a racist kinda kills Symphonia. Logic? The party is trying to eliminate racism but they keep Genis around and not once scolded him about it. The fuck? Exactly.

  • Abyss all the way! I don't like Symphonia at all. First of all, the graphic sucks. Second, I don't like the characters (but Zelos is love). The storyline is awesome, though. Still, I'm not done with my Symphonia gameplay because I wanted to kill Lloyd so badly... I hate him. Lol! xD Aaaaand people will hate me for this comment. Sorry folks! xD

    Sorry for my bad english, I'm swedish.

  • It doesn't have a good storyline anyways abyss game play is too easy most monsters have less hp in abyss to top it all off you have the rights to move around and stagger the monster for like 500 combos so no challenge of a game to me

  • If Abyss would have had a better story it would have been a lot better game. The characters were good but the story sucked. Symphonia all the way. Most of it's characters are pretty awesome and the storyline is incredible.

  • symphonia <3 that game its the best in me and my cousions opinion its funny and it never lets your gaurd down T.T but in all of the tales games never ever forget to save after you enter a city or else you might die and go back really far back in the game T.T

  • Abyss

  • Symphonia had the better story, but Abyss had better characters.

  • @Jet55405 abyss is no match for symphonia so hah cruxis alone kills all of abyss characters

  • @naruto1ultrableach maybe then, but now tos has episodes

  • Im pretty sure this song is by Ayumi Hamasaki....! What's it called?

  • lol i would choose abyss JUST for Jade and Anise :D and also because i like tear :) but hands down Jade FTW!

  • i prefer ToS for it's more child-like appearances.. and the main character is not actually a brat early on.. I hate Luke because he's a brat.. that's all.. and I love ToS character personalities more than Abyss

  • Abyss still has my favorite game character of all time, Guy. For the story lines of the games, I'd have to say Symphonia. There's a lot more development there, and it's still really good despite the fact it's very clishe. In Abyss, it was hard for me to actually get into the game until the first time you defeat Van. But after beating it I can run through it and not really get as bored as I was the first time playing it. I still say Symphonia though.

  • I love them both. The only thing that I think is better in Abyss is the battle system. I prefer Genis' spells over Jade's because there are a lot more and there aren't FoFs needed to use really awesome ones. I like the dungeons better in Symphonia too, and how the game differs on friendships with other characters. My votes on Symphonia.

  • Never played Symphonia so I can't really tell. On the other hand, I played The Abyss and character developments were awesome. So my vote's on Abyss.

  • @haxerx123 play symphonia and your mind will be change

  • @yuan713 I intend to, once I've a solid foundation for my japanese.

  • @haxerx123 ohh your gonna get the japanese version for ps2

  • @yuan713 Of course. I don't think theres an english version for the ps2. In fact, I think that most of the tales series that was ported to the ps2 didn't get english translations, to my knowledge, only Legendia and The Abyss got english translations. Also, you don't really get what you pay for when you buy the english version of japanese games. Voice acting is horrible, most, if not all the skits don't get voiced and sometimes, translated dialogue goes completely off.

  • @haxerx123 yeah the japanese version has more things such as side quest and special moves and clothes

  • =_= haaard, I loved them both sooo much, but I think i'll go with Abyss, Symphonia might be my second in way of Tales games.

  • BLEH SO HARD FOR ME TO PICK I LIKE BOTH ><

  • Has anyone noticed that Tales character almost never wear green?

  • @WaffleLunatic yep true, there is Tytree, and Jade . Maybe a couple others .

  • @Umbree61 I'm pretty sure ade wears blue, but yeah... Tytree's the only one. Hopefully Tales of Xillia has a character that wears green.

  • @WaffleLunatic Yea haha true, oh but Spada's kinda green, and Sync's a bit green, I guess Tytree's greenest, go him! XD .

  • i fin love ToS and reciently got tota and from watching this i gotta speed up on playing abyss

  • tales of symphonia

  • tales of symphonia wins by a sword.

    thank you lloyd for twin blades

  • quite difficult to tell which one is better, i'll go for both

  • i love tos, but i choose abyss for two major reasons Asch and Jade!!!!

  • Tales of the abyss is better for me XD

  • abyss

  • Zelos and Kratos or Luke and Asch? Argh, that's too hard for me. >_< (Red hair rulz, wtf? xD)

    Since I never played either I can only judge it by the story and the characters. So: *votes for TotA*

  • Ooh tough one, but I gotta go with Abyss, for a couple reasons: JADE!!!!! And the final battle just reaches new heights of epicness when Tear starts to sing the Grand Fonic Hymn

  • i perfer tales of vesperia but out of these two i'd say tales of the abyss =)

  • @yingthao99 vesperia oh no no no my friend i mean thats good but symphonia is incredible and abyss will always be in symphonias shadow

  • One word.....KRATOS!!

  • HOOAH SYMPHONIA FTW

  • I believe both are awesome. I love the graphics in Abyss more but the storyline's more interesting in Symphonia. <3

  • Symphonia obvs! I mean come on. They have a an axe weilder, several magic users, over 3 seriously HAWT characters, an angel (and 2 wannabe angels if you count zelos & colette), and to top it all off, THEY EVEN HAVE A NINJA ASSASSIN XD

    --

    IMA GO JUDGEMENT ON YO ASSES! :D

  • i like abyss and symphonia cuz abyss has the greatest battle system and symphonia 4 its characters

  • For the most part, symphonia destroys abyss. Not only in plot but also the wonderful sidequests and dungeons. Abyss had a lot, but not even close to as many as symphonia had. Plus, Lloyd is really the ultimate hero, while luke is...mediocre as a hero, at best.

  • I did not already play to Abyss, but Symphonia is really a phenomal game and human story. Each time I play to this game, I learn big things on myself and on life. Symphonia, for ever in my heart, forever my greatest game of my life.

    Amen

    ...Sacred powers, cast your purifying light upon these corrupted souls. Rest in peace, sinners! JUUUUUUUUUUDGMEEEEEEEEEEENT!

  • @gablamonde LOLZ, but, i like the grand fonic hymn, battle system and natali-er characters.

    Tales of the abyss: good story, characters ( & their own fighting style) COOL costumes and each char. gets their own villain. but dist doesn't have a mystic arte >_<.

  • @gablamonde tales of symphonia: A lot funnier scenes (GO ZELOS) judgment! and the spells are nice. A one-of-a-kind character, (colette or sheena). But the problems are you have to do some stuff b4 getting their cool powerful mystic arte, sometimes lloyd gets TOO mature and i do not like that, but all and all ABYSS 10.0 Symphonia 9.8 (because of the battle system

  • I... I luffs them both!

    ...Raine and Jade would be a wonderful couple...

  • symphonia is better for me but damn abyss is good too... symphonia is funnyer and longer than abyss so i'll go with tos

  • @fyctssss This is all true, yes symphonia is better, but abyss has a better battle system.

  • @Brqwerty gotta agree with you on the battle system... symphonia's is quite annoying on parts like the coliseum... while abyss is damn easier to dodge... but symphonia's story is better for me =)

  • @fyctssss Well Ive beaten ToS about 2 or 3 times over and on ToA im on my first play and i just made it to Akzeriuth. Quite frankly, i think the conversations in ToA are funnier due to the Natalia Vs. Anise and Jade's sarcasm. However, ToS had a MUCH nicer story line from what Ive seen. Now ToS 2... well I HATED the story, main cast, not being able to use old cast, etc. etc., but the battle system was great but i do believe abyss's comes close to, if not at the same lvl.

  • @Brqwerty perhaps, tos is #1

  • Why does everyone have to put down Tales of Symphonia's soundtrack? I much rather like that soundtrack than Tales of the Abyss's soundtrack.

  • tos is my favorite:3 ive played it through a few times

  • I like both of them a lot. Symphonia had a better main villain and a slightly better plot in my opinion and I liked Lloyd more as a protagonist compared to Luke, Symphonia is also less stereotypical than Abyss and the dungeons are a much bigger challenge in ToS.

    On the other side, Abyss has much better graphics and a better sound track. The secondary-villains in Abyss are much better. In some ways it's much easier to think in depth about Abyss's plot as a story of redemption is easier to grasp

  • @Gnomlette so which one do you like better?

  • @kylester08

    My favorite is actually Phantasia, but between the two I'd have to say Symphonia

  • I think I enjoyed Symphonia more.

  • why pick they both kick WAY too much ass i say they both win

  • ToS is slightly better than ToA. Symphonia was my favorite game in the series until i played Vesperia, now im looking forward for Tales of Graces.

    Still, i think Symphonia's plot will always be my favorite. ¿what can be cooler than going against angels?

  • lol true but what about angels and demons hahah

  • Symphonia. I was addicted to that game. 14+ clears, not even exaggeratin. Abyss, only 2. I'm actually writing a Symphonia meets Abyss fan-story. I'll post a link when it's done if anyone is interested.

  • did you posted the fan-story already? it looks it would be a really intresting story.

  • I prefer Tos myself... I like the in game-style and just the overall design of things... Tales of the Abyss has many of those 'little things' that just annoy me

  • TOS DEMOLISHES ANY OPONENTS! look at me and tell me that it isn't the best game ever!

  • Tales of phantasia exists.

  • what system was ToA for?

  • ps2

  • Symphonia was cool, but I prefer the Abyss...

  • ToS will always be my favorite because it was my first but ToA is amazing. I choose both :3

  • i can't choose! I've already beaten Abyss and I'm playing Symphonia right this second.......they're both equally amazing!

  • Why is there the need to compare them? It all comes down to taste in the end.

  • Tales of Symphonia PWNS TOA

  • say at the last picture of TOA at the beach who was hiding behind luke?

  • That's Asch, isn't it...

  • both of them are great! but in my opinion symphonia is better xD

  • I think TOS is the best! But TOA is also very cool!

  • Abyss FTW!

  • Tales of Symphonia is my fave game but I like Tales of the Abyss

  • try adding tos 2 too! ^^ i luv tos!

  • omg Iove them both. props for making this, its really tough with the limited anime clips in ToS

  • Tos is better but ToA is really fun^^

  • TOA characters look so much better

  • I would prefer abyss over symphonia anyday, because off the game play, however in my opinion their both great games

  • I've only seen the ToS animation and I have no money to buy either the game or the game system for ToS.

    I do like ToA since I have the correct game system.The only thing I do not like about ToA is the fact that it's long (in my opinion). Though ToS sounds (and looks) awesomeXD I vote for both!!!

  • TOS is better then TOA i have both games and i like TOS better my only prob with it is the GC fact that it would be so mutch better on the wii and the ova for TOS are nothing comepered to the game

  • Comment removed

  • haha guy is like the OPPOSITE of zelos

    I'm voting for symphonia for the plot and the awesome characters. jade's still awesome though

  • Tales of symhponia all the way

  • heck ya

  • I prefer Symphonia so far, i have yet to beat Abyss

  • symphonia owns

  • Nice 5/5. Great using flashes and slows. Enjoyable.

  • Jade owns. Period.

  • Hmm... tough call... I love Genis, Zelos, Sheena and Collette... but on the other hand, there's Anise... and Jade ^_^ ... Tales of Symphonia's got an awesome last boss (Mithos vs Van... no contest), but... Tales of the Abyss has some of my favourite costume titles (Little Devil ^^)... Ah, the heck with it, my votes for Tales of Symphonia... lol

  • Comment removed

  • TAles os symhponia zelos and kratos will judgement all abyys

  • wat do you guys say? i think that Symphonia is the best out of the series, of course, i havent played all the way thru Abyss, and Vesperia comes close 3rd.

  • Ty ty. Found the song :) thx for the help. much appreciated

  • i like the song more :X wat song is that?

  • Kiseki (Miracle) from Boa Kwon.

  • i like abyss better

  • TALES OF THE ABYSS ROX!!! way better than Symphonia, in my opiion. XP lolz, I am creating a bunch of haters out there I am guessing. >.>"

    I like the characters better in Abyss, but I like the ending in Symphonia since it is not a Cliff hanger. X3

  • LOL 8D

    Totally Abyss is way better than Symphonia. HANDS DOWN!

  • i gotta say that the hottest guys in each game are kratos n asch :P oh and jade kinda 2 (;

  • I like Symphonia and Abyss

    but i gotta go with symphonia as my favorite

  • Its extremely close, with Abyss outfront, actually.

  • yay! TotA all the way!

  • abyss lets see cinectoin i would have made guy-Lloyd luke-lite zelos asch-Kratos jade-genis anise-Presea jade-Regal' natalya and yes i know i spelled her name wrong-Colette muei-ring ion-Raine -+to srry for the long comment and all the typo's
  • Symphonia ftw!

  • mmm i like abyss battle system, but i think teh caracters are anoying in som point dont you think so?? symphonia characters are cooler and also de plot :p so its a tie... lol

  • symphonia *hands down*!

  • tales of the abyss ftw!

  • Namco pwns Abyss and symphonia cuz there the ones that made them both so HA!!

  • luke. pwns. all. end of story.

  • Lloyd destroys ALL,and you can take THAT to the bank. (wow that sounded SOOO much better in my mind)

  • Symphonia is more people than Abyss...not fairT^T

  • Jade. Wins. Every. Time. xD

    *Jade fangirl*

  • hey i love this video! I love tales of symphonia though i havent played it much. and i totally love tales of the abyss more than it though. it was really well made! loved the song!

  • im gonna say abyss cuz the multiplayer finction is much better. and free running is awesome lol. And everyone LOVES jade xD

  • How bout ToS2? With free running :D

    Cant beat the Jade thing though, people will always love him.

  • @CallMeKazu this is symphonia 1 vs abyss not tos2 fuck emil for replacing lloyd (but it's nice to have marta)

  • Tales of Symphonia is the best game EVER. Followed closely by Kingdom Heart 2 and Legend of Zelda: Twilight. :D

    I liked Abyss too. But it's story was kind of sloppy in my opinion....in comparisson with Symphonia, it was quite predictable. I Guessed every game twist ;_;

    And Symphonia characters are more lovable. Kratos and Zelos = Awesomeness. Best EVAR.

    Jade and Asch= Own Abyss. Wow!!

  • Abyss of course

  • symphonia is better its geting a sequel in 2 weeks =]

  • Abyss~ cos of Jade~. Jade Owns All

  • that's a hard one...I would say Abyss. It's because of Jade ^^

  • Man, I guess I'll just have to say this is a tie in my opinion ^_^;; (they're both pretty awesome)

  • abyss totally

  • I like the characters in Abyss than in Symphonia, but I like Symphonia's storyline better than Abyss'. I think they're even :)

  • I like both the story and characters of Symphonia better, though both games are friggen sweet. MORE SYMPHONIA LOVE PEOPLE! D:

    Kratos approves this message.

  • What's the song?

  • LOVE BOTH! Abyss a smidge more though...

  • A great game is one you can play over no mater what and not get over it I've replayed Symphonia more then 10 times and I have to say I played it over because I wanted to do everyone at the flanior scene. And I have to say symphonia is no were as good as abyss. And I will always think abyss is better because its my favorite game. Anyways no one in Symphonia has character development.

  • tales of symphonia!!!!!!!!!!!

  • abyss rocks my socks

    jade = sex in a bottle <3

  • annd the great video is over.. '=)

    hey, wait a minute... WHY DIDN'T I WACHT IN HIGH QUALITY???

    DAMMN!!! Ò_o

  • Ok fine. They're both good games. But I love Symphonia more. For me, Abyss has LukexTear, which I love.

  • like both...love both...namco created both...so they both rock

  • lol, check out my name. please don't fight about it, they're both absouletly great games! I personally can't decide which is better

  • i love symphonia more...alot more...but both are WONDERFUL games dude

  • abyss is so much better than symphonia tho symphonia was cool

  • i agree except for abyss and symphonia switch around

  • Played both, beaten both, own both. They're both good, but Abyss intrigued me more than Symphonia did, so I will have to say Abyss.

  • Comment removed

  • Symphonia hands down!

  • So true.TOS is the best.

  • Symphonia obviously. Namco even said that Symphonia was their best creation ever. Abyss is also good due to romance, voicing, and gameplay. Abyss has the best voice-crew I've ever seen. Replayed Symphonia 7 times since 2003 (?). Replayed Abyss twice.

    Symphonia > Abyss. Can't argue unless you HAVE both games.

  • all for u dude...i played tos around 15 times and abyss 3 i think

  • Abyss took me FOREVER to beat on the first try. I think Symphonia took me 10 hours less than Abyss. I also like the Abyss story line better, so, yeah...

    ABYSS ROCKS, AND YOU KNOW IT.

  • its true look it up

  • One more thing...In the new TOS sequel coming out, why is Jade a playable character in it?

  • ........wtf are you talking about!?

    You eating the wrong fudge or something? o___0

  • lol that's not jade (i thought it was him at first too!)

  • Tales Of Abyss is WAAYY BETTER!!! and here are my reasons: better graphics, Best gameplay out of ALL THE TALES SERIES, REALLY good storyline(sad, but good), and.... It's a game for more of the adults rather than just kids alone. (note: I've played and beaten both games).

  • can't decide XP

  • syphonia is so god that they only need 2 hours to finish cause it's so good

  • shiz!! Tales of Sympnonia is best i dont care wat yu say!

  • symphonia's better, hands down, and you all know it too...

  • abyss all the way yeah!!

  • Yup! I can't decide which is better... Abyss or Symphonia! Abyss has a good story as well as Symphonia...

  • Tales series voice acting

    Lloyd's voice is also Max's from Dark Cloud 2

    Asch and Luke's is also Sasuke from the English dub

    Guy's voice actor is Ichigo from the English dub

  • there both the best two game's ever

    but Symphonia is my fuckin favorite

    also great vid 10 out of 10

  • abyss all the way.

  • I preffered ToS, but I might be biased since I'm a Nintendo fan.

  • lol, i dont hav to worry about spoilers from ToS, ive beaten it 5 times, and im working 6 and 7 ^_^

  • Umm, it doesn't actually look like they're fighting at all. =/

    ...But at one part, it DID kinda look like Tear and Zelos were flirting.

  • I can't decide between the two and I play them. to me their both equal and their both awsome!

  • Agreed. Both games have their pros and cons. ToS has a huge story with loads of extras (pro) but there were times when it was repetitive and got annoying, like having to go and get the Summon Spirits (con)

    TotA had the best battle system so far and made the characters more, whats the word, diverse and had a shatload of cameos from all over the Tales universe (pro) but is a little too quick and simple

    Id say TotA.

    Dream team from both games: Kratos, Jade, Tear and Asch

  • mine would be Guy, Tear, Sheena, and Refill

  • Lawls, makin Guy a pimp eh? Guy's coolest weapon has to be Lost Celesti. Its epic beyond belief.

  • XD, he has to overcome that fear someday. hes my fav Abyss charater.
