Date played: August 13th
Platform: 3DS
Session fun rating: 8/10
I played quite a bit of Tales of the Abyss. Luke was accused of stealing food in the small village of Engeve and after investigating a little bit, he found out that Cheagles were responsible for the theft. To prove his innocence (after being forgiven...) he heads out to Cheagle woods, home of the furry little monsters, to find evidence of theft. This was my first real dungeon and it was pretty typical including a fun boss battle against a giant liger. A small Cheagle named Mieu has joined the party. The little fucker is really annoying but aside from that, he's pretty useful as he can breathe fire to unlock new areas.
Then, the story went crazy. There's a Fon Master, a bad ass military dude named Jade and the Fon Master's preteen body guard. Basically, they knew Luke was from the other empire and took him and Tear prisoner on a giant land ship. While having a conversation, the ship was attacked by gryphons and ligers so we fought our way to the bridge of the ship to retake control.
There's a lot I don't understand from a story perspective yet but at least I'm starting to get the combat system a bit better. Oh yeah and Guy joined the party, he was looking for Luke. I now have four people in the group which makes combat a lot more interesting.
