TALES OF THE ABYSS
I am far from an emotional person; I can go to funerals, listen to sad music, and have things die before my eyes, and while I may get sad, I don't show it that well. I don't cry, I don't blow my nose - none of that. I think it's because I usually take things at face value; if no detail or briefing of any kind regarding the tragedy is thrown at me beforehand, then I guess I feel like I have no reason to be sad. At least, I guess that's how it goes. I still don't really understand my psyche in that department.
This game, though - this piece of software that's simply made to convey a story - this game has welled up more emotions in me over the past three weeks of playing it than I've really felt in the past year. Tales of the Abyss for Playstation 2, and most recently, re-released on the 3DS, is among one of the most powerful stories I've ever witnessed, and is among the most elite of all RPGs I've ever played.
