  • So.....Its possible that Luke and Asch Merge....Since Luke is Asch's Replica....I guess its possible...

  • @animedgm i think it surely could be possible since luke if luke had the key or loreli he could have used its power on asch's corpse and revived it but the thing still remains how would his concuciousness get in there

  • What's the song being played after Tear sings?

  • I wish Tear was my wife

  • what song was that, that played when we saw luke?

  • the smile on jade's face makes it all worth it. lol

  • This game is awesome! I was watching the english dub ending because the english subtitles in the original japanese dub is not visible. OMFG! I don't like Jade's english voice though.

  • This great game would have been better if the following happened:

    1. Van should have been dead after part II (make it so he sacrificed himself to save Sync or something).His personality was really dull and annoying, and it made the game feel redundant towards the end.

    2. Incorporate Lorelei more! It would have been better if he was the final boss by trying to uphold Yulia's score in Part III.

    3. More God-Generals screen time!. And Asch should have had a permanent spot in the game.

  • WHY CAN'T I SEE KISSING BETWEEN LUKE AND TEAR!!!?????

  • Good!!

  • mhm i think asch gave his life to luke dont know :x

  • after beating this game twice, i still wonder how luke changes his clothes...

  • this makes me REALLY want to get the game :') tear is happy.....

  • a really nice ending ! :'(

  • i think its luke inside aschs body. the sword is really the telling detail. its posistioned on his back like luke an its posistion for his left hand were asch is right handed. aschs story was always meant to be tragic. the anti hero turned good guy. luke is a tale of a boy who finds himself. asch will always be a part of luke.

  • for me...that's just the physical combination of luke and asch and the memory is luke's

  • SEQUEL!! i want to cry more

  • that piano gets me every time i watch this.

  • does anyone of you think luke and tear make good love partners?

  • when the scene started after van died

    i bursted in tears until the very end D;

    this will be in my heart forever <3

    but isnt it luke with asch now or something? :o

  • @MsCuteMuffin and no that person was asch, because luke dissapeared and right after aschs hand moved showing he was alive so he took lukes place secretly

  • @DreamBrokenHearts the two actually became one, while Asch died, Lorelei healed the body and gave it to luke

  • idk something seems off i just finish watching the anime like before he dissepiars and asch falls to be caught by luke you see asch's hand move before he is gone like he was still alive and when he returns doesn't he look strange like idk a change in everything plus look at hair from light to dark i think they really did join like he has all memories but still confusing that asch was still alive when they are gone of course i do mean anime

  • Whys everybody making such a big deal i just beat the game in the morning FINALLY and from what i understand is that when asch died he fused with luke and luke was made into a REAL HUMAN not a replica when the game ending and asch disapered into lukes body then asch merged with luke entirly and they were a whole and when luke says i promissed someone id be here LUKE SAYS THAT RIGHT AFTER HE DEFATES VAN SSSSOOOOO THAT THERE SHOWS LUKE IS ALIVE :D

  • You finally see Tear cry in the open.....its so touching to see that Luke (or Asch, however you interpret it) has finally come home. Best game ever!

  • I've played this game like 5 freaking times, and I finally beat Van on unknown. Ugh, it was so hard! It took forever, especially if all the other players are computers, running into the way when Van uses judjment. Ah, idiots. Anyways, loved it!

  • Eight words: Shit... I dunno if I'm satisfied or not...

    Fuck Asch, I want Luke... seriously, I'll say it again... FUCK ASCH... he had so much character development, I mean, finally being accepted as human and all... then everyone is like - he melded with Asch... I'm just like - My Luke has been contaminated by some idiot with no character development at all! I say it was 100% Luke or I'm not satisfied... Luke cut your hair again... your short hair was better... LOL!!! XD

  • In short, there is no puzzle to figure out, because the puzzle has no solution. The pieces can be assembled in three different ways. That was how it was designed. If you ask me: much, much more masterful than a simple right or wrong answer situation. It's what makes this ending unique. It's why it's my favourite game ending of all time.

  • I wish everyone would stop saying "IT'S DEFINITELY LUKE"/"IT'S DEFINITELY BOTH"/"IT'S DEFINITELY ASCH." The ending is written perfectly so that all three answers are equally correct. The producers have said this. They said that they have an ending that they LIKE best (hinted it was it being Asch), but none is CORRECT. There's no evidence of one or the other, because there is no correct answer to leave evidence FOR. It's a perfect, beautiful, ambiguous ending, and that's why it's so amazing.

  • It would be amazing to get a title so you could get the costume and hair style to play with that ending of luke

  • if only the ending could be a bit nicer

  • @AnimyisT what are you talking about thi is the best ending of a game

  • i love this!!!

  • HE LIVES!!!!!!!!!! ~OoO~ .......right...?

  • What's the name of the ending song?

  • I always must cry at the end TT__TT

    But I love Tears and Luke together ♥

  • THEY OBVIOUSLY NEED TO MAKE A SECOND PART OF THIS GAME

  • @gamer4ever9999

    I actually disagree, I think this ending is perfect and everything is answered fully. No need to ruin the game with a sequel, like Symphonia.

  • @Metroid4ever

    humm well now that you speak about it yah the knight of ratatosk was something UNFORGIVABLEY dumb

    well but humm you might be right i think

  • @gamer4ever9999

    ToS 2 isn't bad as an Escort title; if it were Mothership, I'd be like, "Hell no".

  • @Metroid4ever

    i seeeee

  • Please, someone explain this to me our it'll haunt me for the rest of my life: Is Luke's fonon count still declining, or did Asch's sacrifice stabilize it?

  • That was an amazing ending. I want this game so much that I am willing to go and buy a Ps2 so I can play this game.

  • What was great game, just...what a *fantastic* game. The ending is completely bittersweet, like the rest of the story, but just perfect for it.

  • did anyone else notice Tear put her hand on her boob at the end of her song?? XD

  • @AriettaTheWild7567 then again, the heart is located in the chest of a human...

  • was it hard to defet Van?

    i finck it was

  • are they gonna turn this into anime?

  • @jichan13 it is

  • @sacredMONKEYZ oh.... wanna buy the cd... D:

  • _gasp_ i just realized jade had emotion at the end

  • Luke's voice actor is Yuri Lowenthal who does the voice of Sasuke from Naruto, Suzaku from Code Geass, Simon from Gurren Lagann etc. I'm a fan of him for voicing Sasuke and will always be ^o^.

  • @CosplayDiva (I'm not trying to be mean so sorry if this does sound mean) Don't forget Haseo from the .hack//gu games

  • dang anybody know the name of that piano song at 1:05?

  • Every time i see this video it makes me cry, doesn't matter how many times i watch it, beautiful ending.

    Hope they make ToA2 <3

  • this ending is why they should make a number 2.

    why you ask? so many unsolved questions!

  • the first ToS was wonderful, yet look what happened to its sequel...i dont rly know if namco can rly own up to this game if it has a sequel tho

  • i agree. if they made a sequal, it wouldnt do this game any good. i think the ending is perfect as is. i dont want them to ruin it.

  • yet having said that...theres still a side of me that wants to see it made

  • me too. ive played ToA 4 times now. i love it so much....but i just dont want them to ruin it. its my favorite video game by far.

  • 8 times here =3

  • lol im sure ill get there someday. lately, i havent been able to go 24 hours without playing this game. im about to go to the absorption gate (first time). then im playing it immediately again after this playthru xD

  • This ending wil and always shall be my favorite and in my opinion the BEST ending ever perfect video and music and u don't see that very often in games usually they screw up on one or the other

  • @nlancial i agree with you (Y) this is the best ending ive seen everrr its too good love watchig nit over and over again :P

  • i know it sucks u in especially with the story that goes before it makes u want to play it over and over again (think im on playthrough 25-26 although first time playing it in abot half a year) the only other game that makes me want to play it agin and again is Ar Tonelico (the first one not the second) and i guess also Persona 4

  • this show is in english were can i find it

  • @Anim3Luv3rForLif3 the show isnt in english yet , this was a cut scene form the game

  • aww... i see now.... the opening karma is connected to luke ad asch hahahahahaha.... i checked and wow... they're right!

  • I don't quite get it. Was it Luke or Asch that came back?

    .....I think it's Luke but I'm really confused!...

  • @MarciaLH What happened is they became one. It killed me when I saw that as the ending.

  • its luke asch died before luke so i believe he gave him his fonons so that he could become whole again u have to watch some of sub events to fully understand the ending although i wish that when u beat the game the costume luke wore during the epilogue was unlocked and u could wear it during the game

  • Alright. I'll explain this clearly. The conclusion is, LUKE was the one who came back at the end. It was Asch's body but Luke's SOUL/Memories/Feelings --> he's the Luke that likes Tear, not Asch who likes Natalia. There's 2 evidence that it's absolutely Luke. 1) Luke's left handed, and at the end, the sword was carried towards his left. 2) Asch couldn't have fulfill Tear promise since it has nothing to do with him, so it's Luke who came back. I hope i made it clear. :D

  • Actually i think you're right, though i think Lorelei, fused asch's and lukes body, in order to keep luke alive, as luke was the only one alive, but both was gonna dissapear, yet if you watch the anime, you also see that Luke talks to Tear, about the promise, that he promised it. "This place has a nice view of Hod." "Besides i promised, didn't I?" in any other means, why would it be Tear, whos in "Tears" when she hears that he kept his promise.

  • yeah! I'm glad someone 'kinda' agree with me! :) You're right! I said that in another youtube vid too. That 'Luke' didn't walk towards Natalia [remember Asch and her promise?], instead, he walks towards Tear. How can he be Asch? He's absolutely the Luke who likes Tear. haha. That's what i think though. I know that a sequel would probably ruined the whole ending/story but i still want one! I want to clear all the confusions! *sighh* I hope they'll make a sequel.

  • @anonymousL251

    You're right. Also, because he appeared in the place that started it all for both Tear and Luke; in addition, their last night together was staring at Hod.

    Tear's initial words were one of a hopeful tone, as if not wanting to believe until sure in case he was a stranger with red Hair. Her heart sinks when he responds kindly that he's there for the sight of Hod... Oh, and also... I promised you.

    She bursts into tears, goes to him... and Jade cracks a smile that it was Luke.

  • @RPGOmen

    It's definitely Luke, also looking at the hair style and position of the sword, since Luke is left-handed.

    Best Tales ending ever. Even better than Vesperia.

  • @Metroid4ever  Vesperia's ending was good? Whatever, to each his own I guess, that one left way to many plot holes for my taste.

  • @CtrlAltDestroy1

    Nah, I didn't care too much for Vesperia's ending either. It was shiny, but I didn't like how it left ya with, "Well, how does everyone get by now?"

  • This is the only video game ending that makes me tear up EVERY time I watch it. <3

  • I KNOW IT so darn beautiful u can't help but tear up they just...... didn't go far enough i mean i still think they shoulda kissed i mean come on the guys gone for 3 yrs and she's waited so long so SHOW IT (still awesome music took me awhile to find it)

  • I love this game 2! But i can't helped to wonder if Jade really felt guilty of what he had done. I mean of course he felt guilty. Bt exactly how guilty was he? Could anyone answer that for me? TOA ROCKS! =>

  • THAT would be so damn awesome costume 4 Luke in game :P

    And did Asch and Luke really merged with something together I heard they merged memory o.O

    btw if you wonder wth your talking about listen (or read) to the lyrics of karma i'm sure they mention Luke and Asch

  • yeah in the lyrics they mention being in a sunny spot only meant for one and then there being 2 in that spot. then becoming one. the lyrics hint a lot to asch and luke.

  • There is a lot of technical "fonon" science that gets mentioned in the game and during optional sidequests.

    This Luke is more than likely a merger of both Asch and Luke...or, if you pay attention to dialogue in the beginning, it's Lorelei's completed soul. So, Luke in other words.

  • guy and ichigo are done by the vocie actor johnny young bosch

  • Thats awesome, Bosch is the voice of Renton in Eureka 7, which is definitely one of the most awesome anime's ever.

  • This game is to awesome!!! Great Ending and everything!! And Jade!!!!! *faints from the smexiness* xD

  • they should make a number 2~:D this game is just sooo perfect~

  • I aggree dude~! This game rockz~!!

  • I love this game..I have never cried at a tales of: game (Come close..but not seriously shed tears) until this part..I honestly choked up and couldn't help it..so emotional this scene is, I love it along with the tales of: series, it proves that video games aren't just mindless forms of entertainment..TO series, especially this one show how great pieces of art games can be

  • This game is making me cry it's so beast

  • T-T muy romantico

  • gaaaaaaaaaaay anime ending 1000000x better they didn't add meui assholes

  • SOMEONE HAS TO TELL ME THE NAME OF THE SONG THEY PLAY DURING THIS SCENE ITS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL AND FITS IT SO WELL BECAUSE THIS IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE MY FAVORITE VIDEO GAME ENDING ITS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL MAN "sniff" GOD IT ALWAYS MAKES ME CRY NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I SEE IT

  • have you watched the anime? it just ended recently... lolz

  • oh it did plz tell me where i can see it i want to see if they ended that better than the game or at least added on AND MADE THEM KISS IF THEY DIDN"T GET THE POINT THROUGH ALL THESE COMMENTS THAN ITS SAD although i do hope they make a sequel for the game

  • nope not going happen

  • plz if symphonia which is not even in the same league as abyss got a sequel they sure as heck better make one for the abyss game its just common curtosey to the fans

  • lol but abyss has the PERFECT ending. i wouldnt want them to ruin it with a sequal. i love abyss to death but the ending is perfect the way it is.

  • you're right ^^

  • 0:00 to 0:14 is the Grand Fonic Hymn

    0:31 to 1:04 is A WIsh to the Starry Sky

    1:05 to the end is Overflowing Emotions, Reunion

  • thx its nice that some people appreciate good music as much as i do i knew that the first part was the grand fonic hymn i just didn't know what the last 2 were its ....its just such an beautiful song they play u rarely see a song fit to an ending so well i mean its like this song was made specifically for this scene like it was destiny

  • anime better ending

  • I wanted Tear and Luke to kiss. xD

  • you and me both brother talk about cutting it too short

  • Oh well, there will always be Luke x Tear fanart on Deviantart.

  • They are Fused. Asch and Luke.

  • why did Asch have to die VV

  • I know that this "Luke" is probably Asch and Luke combined (though I like Brennan3775's idea- that this Luke is the real "Light of the Sacred Flame") but I really want it to be Luke....because Asch is an assface and Luke is way better than he is.

  • luke got on my nerves, up til after the destruction of akzeriuth (sp?)

  • I think he got on everyone's nerves when he had his long hair...but he best thing about Luke is his character development.

  • very true. I loved luke after he cut it, he changed and just became a better person ya know...

  • Well, I think that he's a better person still now, regardless of...err hair length.

  • welll yeah... hair doesnt make you a jerk. it wasnt the hair cut that changed him, it was a tradedy that he caused.

  • Yup, the hair cut was just a symbol to show his change. I like his new clothes towards the end though they look, for lack of a better term, pretty badass.

  • yup ^^ they do

  • I heard that when someone cuts their hair it's a symbol of giving up old love and becoming someone new.

  • what? long hair again? *sigh* Please....

  • luke looked better with it short

  • Luke is better than asch ^_^

  • My theory is that huge flashy thing that Luke and Asch's corpse did in the ending, right before the credits was them merging together to form the one true Luke. That would explain the hair growth, the "I promised someone", and the change of attire.

    I don't think this "Luke" is Asch or Luke, but rather the real "Light of the Sacred Flame" Luke. (I also think Lorelai might be inside of them, too.)

  • i think your right!!!!

  • i love this game its perfection and the anime is too it is bad that asch died but this nearly makes me cry when i see it so beautiful lolz tear and luke are the perfect couple wooo!!!!!

  • This was the greatest video game ive ever played. i loved it so much. i cry every time i watch this.

  • This Vid made me Cry :(

  • he is luke pay attention to jade and tear's reaction and also earlier in the game jade is not sure if luke is stronger than asch

  • does anyone have the background music?? its so beautiful

    i kinda cried at the ending...

  • I want to know why it took so long for him to get back, and were the change in apperence happen.

  • they may tell us who it is at the end of the anime show for this game

  • I highly doubt that. Plus, I almost don't want them to expand what they have. Every FMV that was redone in the anime wasn't as good as those in the game, and this scene is just too perfect to be ruined with more stuff added from the anime.

  • hazzzzzzz i wuz right hizz hair duz get long again yyyyyyaaaaaayyyyyzzzz

  • Wow...so this is the actual ending...

    I hope they give a better one for the anime...

    not that this one is bad or anything...

    but I really miss Asch...

    Can't he and Luke both stay alive...

    Somehow??

    anywayz..

    XDDDDDDD Luke is not dead!! Yay!!!!

  • silky smooth. i love this ending

  • Do they have parts where Luke says "i love u" or something?

  • Nope~

  • tear said luke...... ( luke .. i love you ) after the final battle

  • It's obvious Luke loves her too, but, like her, his feelings weren't said out loud. If you read his journal, it says that he wanted to tell Tear his feelings on the Albiore the night before they went to fight Van, but he couldn't do it.

  • AHAHAH my 30th time watchign this since yesterday XD

  • Hehe, wow, he was right. His hair DOES grow fast.

  • XD although it's been 3 years since he poofed.

  • emotional ending T_T AND guy... he is suck a good friend

  • such* guy is such a good friend oops sorry ppl he one of my fav ppl so no way imma insult him Dx

  • hes my fav 2 i lv Guy!

  • guy: AHHHHHHH!!!!!

  • once again upon watching this beautiful ending i have to say that whoever made these scenes SHOULD DO THEM FOR ALL TALES GAMES

  • ALRIGHT i will explain luke technically "died" at the end howevr asch gave him his fonons and so those merged with lukes to make him whole in other words they became one again if u want a more detailed explaination write me ill be more than happy to explain in detail as they do explain why this happened over the course of the game u just had to be thourough

  • Why are you such a shitface? Please explain. Screw you =]

  • who is it? Asch or Luke?

  • its luke because the way his sword is asch never had it like that

  • it's totally luke!

  • It's undecided, there are too many ways to debate that it's either.

  • Its luke there are several sub events that explain why its him however u do have to exit off the beaten track and work a little for them but its worth it to understand the ending fully

  • What sub-events be these?

  • when you load the completed save does it do what symphonia does and start a form of new game plus?

    damn the fact that europe never got this game

  • I have a question. If it was really 3 years that passed why does Anise look exactly the same. If it was 1 year Id buy that she didnt change much, but 3 years is a long time for the body of a 13 year old
