I am quite enjoying Tales of the Abyss 3D, which publisher Namco Bandai released today for 3DS. Itās an anime-styled Japanese role-playing game with action-ish combat and a world map packed with towns and dungeons. In other words, itās a Tales game.
I got the game yesterday, so Iāve only played around an hour or so, but I already have a minor complaint. While Abyss regularly features voice acting for all of its scenes, its optional cut-scenes are silent. Sometimes too silent. Itās uncomfortable. (Especially during scenes that cut out the background music entirely.)
As I explain in the above video, this is particularly disconcerting when you compare it to Tales of Vesperia (the last Tales game I played), which featured full voice acting in all of its cut-scenes. They could at times be annoying, but at least they werenāt silent.
Iāll have more coverage on Tales of the Abyss in the coming days/weeks.
