Tales of the Abyss - US intro

[Luigia525]

Ahh this game is awesome and really difficult, i killed all the enemies i met on my way to all the locations and i still kept dieing at least once at the last few bosses.

[meaganmustard]

I haven't Heard This In A Long Time. AMAZING Game ;D

[BONNIE567]

I want this game so much! D:

[pokdspok]

me and my brother play this on the guitar, he does the base and I the solo

[Lozzer57]

why couldn't they do this for the tales of symphonia games instead of putting a lame instrumental track on . At least this song sounds like the Japanese opening song T.T

[Erk1234567]

@Lozzer57 To be fair, the orchestrated opening to Tales of Symphonia is pretty damn epic, although I would have preferred the original song as well.

[Saichira]

i love both the japanese version and this one*.*

its really hard not to press the repeat button again and again...

[AmakusaJuuza]

Good, but not as good as the US one for ToS or the japanese original... Well, the US one for ToS was REALLY, REALLY good so it's normal.

[danherbiee]

i love the intro of this game hahahhahah!!!

[OneBetweenWorlds]

Awesome

[curssaske]

best video game intro i never seen

[AxelHaseo]

at the title screen music it sounds like something off of Legend of Dragoon

[MrStrifeDP]

Tales of the Abyss is my favorite game ever :D

[rpggame16]

Im thinking of playing this now.

[SparkerEXE]

Just started playing playing this game 2 days ago. so far it looks pretty interesting. amazing opening too!

[deathray797]

@SparkerEXE if u like it u should try more tales games like symphonia or graces. graces is supposedly coming out in europe in summer and america 2011 so get it when it does.

[SymphoniaFan101]

@deathray797 Whats Graces for? I love ToS and now I'm trying to enjoy all the others...

[lafut4]

I love this opening! Are u thinking of putting up some more Abyss vids?

[michelle192837]

Now that I think about it, I think the opening's the only time I've seen Van without his usual armor on...

I still like the lyrics version, but the instrumental version of Karma is pretty good as well. ^^

[Kirvee2]

I wish there could've been a full version of this instrumental avaliable on the soundtrack....

[Jyurian]

I have to agree. 8[ I just...acquired...the soundtrack, and I was hoping this would be on it. Every time I turn on the game, I have to watch the intro and listen to this. It's such an amazing game intro.

[Shroomiesan]

The intro to the is awsome I gatta give it a 10+

[HuskyShinobiChouji]

this is better then the Jap one cause for that they sing and the singer sucks so I'm glad they take him out of the english one

[TraeThaTruth]

Agreed

[swordfish1390]

haha, i agree with you on that

[HuskyShinobiChouji]

thanks, I thought I'd get a thumbs down for that comment lol

[swordfish1390]

no way, man. vocals don't fit this song, the guitar sounds much more fitting

[HuskyShinobiChouji]

god that's SO true DX odd how an english version of a Jap game opening would be better usually it's the other way around ya know O.o

[swordfish1390]

yeah, i hear that

[Umbree61]

I do like this one better to, but I didn't think he sucked, personally I think there both very good.

[DevilRaider]

This version is awesome... though i could not stop singing the lyrics over this one.. it's lacking lyrics T_T but it's damn good ! the guit is waay better

[holodip]

What's the name of this song?

[LelouchRika]

Bump of chicken is that band -_- the song is karma

[VeohXni]

OK thanks for the correction, at least i now know why i could never find the song!

[rsgrcg]

RY: If I were talented at art, I would make a Final Fantasy X parody out of this.

[Yamibooze]

no matter how good this version is (and it's damn good), in my opinion, the original still overpowers this one.

[TigStripe]

I actually like the instrumental version over the lyrical version for the opening. :3

[Talim2004]

@_____@ I loooove this song. The instrumental version is waaaaay better than the original version.

[NostalgiaGrows]

God...

Damn This Song Kicks So Much Ass.

I listen to it EVERY time I turn the game on.

Damn...

-Rene

[Niieqiiejj]

Uhm does anyone know if the game is going to be released in Europe? I've seen part of the anime (till 14) and i love it! But i can't find the game in my country (yet) Does anyone know? And is the anime going to continue? Because the manga of the gama is further then the anime I thought...

[roxas1234]

if it hasn't been released in two years i doubt it'll be released <_<

[beserker24]

1. I'ts for the ps2.

2. No there is no affection system but there are costumes that you can get :D.

[zeroyui]

Does this game have an affection system like Tales of Symphonia?

[ihave2cows]

what console is this for?

[member709]

PS2

[ejcamacho2006]

I just beat the game one of the best rpgs ever made

[ihave2cows]

all tales games are

[ejcamacho2006]

yup havent played a bad one yet and I doubt there is any

[superbuggy222]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllll­l.....there is Legendia *is shot by ultimatetalesfan19*

[SugarMuffin101]

Wow I can't believe they did and instrumental of Karma just for the US version. If you haven't seen the jap version, see it! It rocks (So does this...)

If people wanna know the song and artist:

Karma - BUMP Of Chicken

[Lukar82394]

You mean Meaning of Birth? There's a link out there, but I can't remember where it is. x.x' Just go to Google and search for "Tales of the Abyss Meaning of Birth".

[SpeederFalcon]

love the guitar version. :D

[Isaiahtjee]

Sum1 has the guitar tab?

[Iguanaray]

i like the japanese one more

watching it makes me feel like i'm really japanese

[VioletteChevre]

dude what nationality are you anyway? u should be proud of who u are rather praise other people. try to make ur own story if u like this, then maybe one day it'll become an outline 4 a story like the tales series.

[Iguanaray]

Actually, I was just kidding. I prefer this version.

[Inarii2]

You weeaboo!

[eherodarkshine]

i agrey

[thesoul55]

This ones good but the JP one is better.

[ZoneHeroEX]

This sounds like shining force EXAs intro...

[ian1325]

the song is the best quality i've heard but the japanese one is better

[Reagus]

i think i like the jp opening better..

[criticalvideo2]

Cleanest one I've seen so far in quality and sound.

Best intro song EVER!

[ihave2cows]

to a game? yes. to an anime? no

look up kamisama kazouku OP

its freakin epic

(if this comes out as a comment its a reply to criticalvideo2_

[justareplica]

i like this one better than all the rest, but Phantasia's intro will always be the best out of them

[Tehchamp999]

Well, all they did was sub a guitar for the singer, so it's still the J-pop track, which is why it's a good localization.

[Iguanaray]

The vocal version was the exact same track but it wasn't nearly as addictive due to how awful and generic the singer was.

[HinoKogaChan]

That's subjective seeing as without lyrics the meaning of the song is sacrificed and has less of a tie-in with the game.

[Azexa]

It wasn't exactly the same, there is less guitar in the version with lyrics

[coolaKB]

Love it!

[Spliffor]

lovely intro :D

[metalgreen777]

i love this game!!

but i cant beat nibilim in unknown :P

[pat4luigi13]

the theme looks promising, as well as the anime cutscenes. i kinda like eng. dub themes having the elec. guitar as vocals, kinda like in DBZ Budokai 2 and some other ones.

[kirax10a]

man this game is one of my favorites i love Jade, Guy, Tear, and Luke they are my favorite to use and Mieu is funny

[Sivoduurul]

Do you know where I can download it in a good quality ? ..

[salvage10]

sorry to ask but, is this an anime or a video game?????

[Member129647]

Its a Video game, the Tales Of... games are known for their anime style openings

[EvileSeedNaruto]

yeah but it will soon be an anime in october

[Member129647]

Really!? o>O thats just awesome

Hope it does not turn out like the Disgaea Anime lol, I liked the OVA for ToP though, it was nice

[EvileSeedNaruto]

yeah i'm serious dude this will be an anime just type in tales of abyss tv anime on youtube and you'll see

[Jannetsu]

id be so happy if this does become and anime. i also heard they might make a sequal to this game called tales of harmonia that starts exactly 10 min right after this game ends :D, just a rumor though

[EvileSeedNaruto]

that awesome if they made a sequel to this game cause i want to know if tear and luke get together

[Member129647]

damn that is frikn' epic, I can't wait to see it. Wonder how close to the game the anime will be.

[wormspwn]

That was a bit of a spoiler for ppl who didn't play the game fully EvileSeed but I'll spare you the flaming because I'm just as exited about a sequel as everyone else. Apparantly though, the developers are going to take all the loose ends and not share them to anyone until they die. At which point if they can talk, they can tell us all they want.

[EbilPoring]

And just whats wrong with Disgaea anime? :o

[Member129647]

They got things mixed up and after fallowing the game like a religion the changes scared me D:

like for example they have Laharl in a dumpster and the angel girl wakes him up instead of him being in his room and Etna waking him up

[Twila27]

I don't like instrumentals too much, it seems like a disservice (SP?) to the singer. If you're including the guitar, drums, and bass, taking away the singer doesn't seem to fit right--personally.

[Member129647]

the melody is still amazing either way

[Twila27]

Sorry, I'm just a big Bump of Chicken fan. Feels weird, is all. But I agree, the instrumentalists did a good job. ^-^

[Member129647]

I got both versions on my PSP 3:

Some times I enjoy the singing but with the instrumentals you can get more into the beat of hte music

[Twila27]

Well, I guess you have a point. One of the best guitarists I've heard. =3

[3gaaraWshippo3]

Karma by BUMP OF CHICKEN for those who care and/or didnt know >.>

[ReasonX07]

Zomfg lyrics where!?

Original's better =X Or maybe I'm too used to it...

[hidarimenuchi]

pretty cool but the jap. op is better

[Funkymagnum]

The game is really awesome though.

[LynerxAurica]

This game looks so cool when first time i watched it, now i've seen it like hundreds time and finished the game lke 3 times

(i even forgot how many)and still cool.

[Animexduo]

WOOO I FINALY GOT ABYSS. guys practicaly the same as zelos just that he has the oposite feelings about women then zelos :P.

[seikuken]

This is the Best Tales i ever played.I love the story so much and i love the game play too. The team who made this is also the same team who made Tales of Vesperia in xbox360. I hope the Tales verison of PS3 is a good one too.

[xsnowbelx]

YEAH!! Of all tales I've played.. I say Abyss was really one of the best!! I also played Symphonia so admit it!! Abyss was better!! I really love the twist of the story here.. ^____^

[caleb724]

Thanks for adding this song; I love it. However, I'll admit the opening is fairly spoilerific, but who cares if the guitar is awesome? :-P

[yuggothian]

Can anybody here tell me if the PS2 was region locked? i live in europe and if a PAL PS2 can play north american games i'll import it.

[okamispiderbrush]

Yup, I believe PS2s are region locked. :(

(There's probably a way to play NA games on a PAL Ps2, ask around if you want.)

[dandyoso]

Abyss beats Symphonia hands down.

[ezzy68]

Never played Symphonia before...

but Abyss is better...

especially the fact that

the hero is not "original"

you get the point

=D

love this game

love the song

&& love Tear

HEEEEE~

[1XonewishX1]

Love the this game its aswome (freakishly great video and song)anybody know what its called?...

idk if it can beat symphonia but yeah it comes close

[MirageInnis]

the song is called Karma by bump of chicken

[XxmizumixX]

this is the best tales game its AWSOME!!!

[ichikio]

None of the beat symphonia...there all kick ass though.

[PassMyJoint]

yea symphonia was an incredible game. but abyss looks like it has potential to beat it =X

[Blastoise101]

i heard in popularity symphonia barely beat it

[PassMyJoint]

This game looks f****** bad ass, n tear looks dam hot amirite.

Only played symphonia and eternia,

but shit im definitely going thru the trouble of buying a ps2 for this game.

[PelltheFalcon]

whats better abyss or legendia?

[haziqharith]

abyss of course..

they even have nice intro..

[PelltheFalcon]

thx

[SaimuraiX]

oh and i think the opening is better in jap version :)

[SaimuraiX]

this game look cool O.O i think i gonna buy it....... no doubt! im getting this game :)!!!!!

[00o0Hinata0o00]

this game is one of the best games that I have played^_^

[xgeorgx]

1:31-1:40 with Tear on it. Best scene ^^

[Soccerguy63]

i love...LOVE this game... and the opening music makes it even better... lol i wish they could the opening in guitar hero... but gah i love namico tales...

[504zap]

boy i loved this game so much, i have beaten it like 4 times XD it is so good! so much replay value

[khhnator]

better guitar than bad translated lyrics or bad singing :p

[holyenchillada]

1:45-2:08: Greatest....scene.....ever....­.

[xeroaxlvx]

true it is epic

[Lukar82394]

Agreed. ^^

I wish I still had my PS2... Then, I could get Abyss. =/

[GERBOTH]

mmm i like the song xDD

[x0rPheNx]

For which console is it? D:

[InverseLogic89]

Playstation 2.

[x0rPheNx]

Aha, thanks.

[rkoman1]

hope they make a tales of vesperia too :D:D

Cumpz

[sleepyaznboi]

FAIL, if they are going to keep the intro keep the dam vocal as well

[sirvvaffles]

omg ty ive been looking for this song for so long

[sfinardi]

fuck wth?

where is the vocal ?

UNDUB NOW -_-

[TheNewDx619]

Are you an idiot? The one with the vocal is the jap version, THIS IS THE "US" VERSION!

[sfinardi]

US Version sux =]

[TheNewDx619]

It's a matter of opnion. Just because you think it sucks doesn't mean others think as well.

[sfinardi]

err okay =p

Americans love to destroy games All Japanese Games xD

This is my opnion =x

[TheNewDx619]

Now it's not an opnion, it's complete idiocy. >_>

[grimcoyotereaper]

and tv shows

[Asdhio]

OMFG I love you dude. I've been looking for the mp3 of this song since I got the game when it came out.

I'd have to say this is by far my favorite game of the 4 or 5 I've played.

[TheNewDx619]

Agree. I cannot stop playing IT.

[kyuub1Narut0]

Who is a stronger four person party in this game? my last game (tales of symphonia) was lloyd(me) sheena, genis, and raine...

[juzweytnc]

gailarda galan gardios and Luke Fon Fabre front liners while Tear Grants and Jade Curtiss as supporting characters..

feel free to agree or disagree

[dmt07]

Luke, Tear, Jade, and Guy has never let me down

[TheNewDx619]

Exactly, that's my party too, my homies lol. They go along, they are good, and they are perfect.

[himegoto123]

for me, i use luke, guy, natalia and tear, natalia for revive, especially on those hard boss battles on unknown difficulty. but when im just fighting normal enemies/not on unknown mode bosses, i replace natalia with jade.

[SeJoHu]

Man, I really like this game, and especially this music, but after only five-ish hours of gameplay, coupled with this intro, I was able to figure out everything from the beginning to the end with astounding clarity. :{ I was really rather disappointed that they gave away so much in the intro...

[stop789123]

i´ve a question, this video is from... what? the intro of the game? because in that case t´ve seen many diffrnt intrs

[MetalShadow101]

yeah, this is the real intro from the game, theres others with lyrics, but those are the original version of the song

[stop789123]

thnks! ^^

[TheOneAnOnlyBeast]

here i have made an amv that matches the intro to tales of abyss. Its full metal alchemists but i hope u can tell the resemblance =)

[ryoko26]

I ripped the song from my own copy of the game. While it's debatable on if it's the best Tales song, I like Yume de Aru Youni better.

[AndrewEdwardRoss]

Yes they should make an anime of the Tales series. They can do it just like Onegai Teacher and Onegai Twins. Both titles have Onegai and both shows have a little referance to each other.

Although, I'm not sure if the original voice actors would have the time to voice.

Oh and on a side note - TearxLuke

[LynerxAurica]

agree2, TearxLuke forever

[Funkymagnum]

if all you do is talk about video game relationships, you need to get a life.

[LynerxAurica]

nah,not at all in real life,if yes then my friend would've left me. btw, you have any tabs for this op? or any1 can help me? this instrumental is cool.

[craztax]

You should definitely add this to your collection. It is one of the best in the Tales series.

[prodiginet]

Hello i just saw this video and its the first time ive seen it, for what console is it can anyone please tell me, im a video game collector and i find this very interesting

[omegaevolution]

its for the PS2

[AndrewEdwardRoss]

Raid every pawn shop there is in your area if you want it. Or, you could always take the easy road and go on e-bay.

Definately a must. If you donèt have it, get it. (Big adventure/anime fan)

[Hannahyozor]

This is the best "tales of" opening ever!

[wertquass]

This is a sick game, but as well as Tales of Symphonia, they might make it an Anime as well. Symphonia has its own anime but its still not done.. Can watch parts of it subbed on Youtube though.

[loganre]

I like this version way better. The guitar rocks!

[Phoenniks]

is this a manga or a game... but its damn awesome

[Gelover]

its a game, and you're damn right its awesome ^^

[sk8terchimpy]

dude...why would a manga have an opening like this? A manga is a japanese comic... Do you mean anime?

[itachi1446]

i love tale of abyss the game is awesome asch is so cool

[Gandora5]

There's like so many Tales Of shows I know 5.

1. TOP

2.TOS

3.TOA

4.TOE

5.TOL

[Gandora5]

Damn I wanna watch it real bad, does anyone know where to watch it online?

[LewisJones181]

Its a game not an anime.

[Gandora5]

Yep I found out a while ago but I wish they would make it a show cause it's fucking awesome.

[Judgeyy]

Well, Symphonia has been made into an anime.

I can't see this being done.. It's sales wern't good enough.

[Barrylocke]

Well this game was on the top 100 Famitsu list, (along with Destiny, Rebirth, Eternia, and Destiny 2, no Symphonia) so SOMEONE must have liked it.

[horohorosrin]

Oh my God you have the instrumental version uploaded! I think I love you, I've been looking everywhere for it!

[HikariFOR8C]

thanks for the music link, but is there any link for the video?

[DanTheeMan]

Anyone know where I can download this song at? I'm too lazy to click 'more' up to the right over there.

Please respond, I really really want this song!!! :(

[djmaksim14]

haha Jade quotes are juz hilarious. But then again for someone so funny, hes the most knowledgeable and secretive in his group. Thats about why hes the best damn character ever created. All his quotes are LOLx10000

[djmaksim14]

dos anyone know where to downlaod or torrent tis song?

[thepoetsedge]

This song reflects a hero's hidden courage... This really rocks my world! Great game! Peace to all... ^_^

[g350]

awesome song!!

[yonoid88]

Ok, I'm just curious. I haven't got that far in the game yet so what's up with the scene where Luke's in the prison clutching his head and screaming? :\

[despadas]

wouldn't it be one of the three times he gets put in a jail in the beginning of the game?

it'd be more to show what happens when he gets the headages

[AndrewEdwardRoss]

*sighs*

SPIOILERS

ALERT

TURN BACK OR JUST SKIM THIS

DON'T BLAME ME OK?

The scenes in the intro doesn't reflect the gameplay, but the scene you're talking about just reflects a partial bit. You end up in jail onboard the Tartarus, the screaming and headache refers to Luke's hyperressonance.
