I'm on my 11th playthrough, about 800 hours logged, Combo EXP, Very Hard. About to fight Sync on the Tartarus. I have all but 3 titles: Natalia's cooking title and Anise's 2 cooking titles. Anise has Soba Noodles, Udon Noodles, Onion Soup, Fruit Cocktail, Stew, and Miso Stew to master, Natalia has to master all 20 recipes. I have to go through roughly 700 encounters in order to master everything because whoever designed this game hates me. I'll be updating with every recipe I master.

No, I just wasn't proactive about 100%ing it until my last few playthroughs. I did a sidequest here and there, but nothing major. The most you'll need is 2, but you have to follow a guide super closely because there's so much missable shit in Abyss.

Favorite character to control? Back in the day it was actually Luke for me cuz of his DirDown + Normal Attack string. Nowadays anytime I pick it up I gotta go Guy.

Luke by a hair. Guy's the better character, but Luke's regular attacks aren't laggy like Guy's. He also has more fun artes imo.

I can't fault TC for playing Abyss 11 times, since I played through Symphonia 7-8 times.

The 3DS version fixed the glitches that the PS2 version had.

Not how Abyss works, I'm afraid. Levels reset for each playthrogh. I have maxed my party out at 20 before, however.

Same.

Though I can't say any of the dungeons we're particularly tricky... except for maybe the palmacosta human ranch with all the warp points? Or maybe you were just that young when you played through it.

She's the best healer if you manually control her, don't even have to master spell cancelling to have her out-heal everyone else.

I won't lie, I never bothered legitimately doing the side quest to unlock the super boss/ teacher of Jade and Dist. :l Used the world map glitch by opening the tray. That's also how I did the mushroom area side quest the first few playthroughs, because getting the airship item that maxes its speed bypasses the quest to unlock the hover skill needed to get to that dungeon in the first place.

That said... Can't you unlock stuff for Ashe though that dungeon, including cooking? :l

I don't know why you would want to skip that content, it's perfectly fine on its own. The only real thing you can do with Asch is change his costume, and even then you can only choose between his regular outfit and his Abyss Silver outfit. He might be able to improve his cooking abilities, but I have zero intention of doing 600 battles on Mushroom Road for absolutely nothing.

It was back in the ps2 era, I didn't have the ability to look up how, where, and what to do for that nebelim side quest. Since all you did was basically do x, get to y area, solve z puzzle, then head to fight her it just saved me that extra bit of time without missing any scenes.

Wow, they really tried to make her as user-unfriendly to use as possible. She has to completely reset her animation if she changes normal attack direction, almost all of her attacks are in straight lines so they can get fucked up by being even a little off-center, and her normal attack pushes her back to the point whereshe can't use Aerial Laser, a powerful combo tool.

The trick isn't to let her reset naturally but spell cancel. Also builds up spells for you to finish when you want/ need to.

well that's the point.
MC is an asshole in the beginning and then he grew up to be one of the best character after an incident that changes his point of view.
it doesn't help either that MC is literally 7 year old.

also everyone in the party except Natalia has their own secret.

Luke - secret clone
Asch - guy Luke is a clone of, the real hero
Tear - they don't hide that she's been trained as a assassin but I guess why she trained under Legretta is hidden
Jade - him and Dist sealing their teacher because she became too strong
Guy - secret prince or thereabouts
Anise - betrays the group and even the guy she was supposed to protect because her parents are in debt
Natalia - not actually a princess, but the maid's kid

All things considered, the god generals all had pretty good reason to do what they did. Either they
A) wanted to be free of the score
B) had reason to want the replicas since they wouldn't be as cruel as the originals
Or C) both

Poor Arietta. :'( She was the only one who didn't know

Guy - actually entered the Fon Fabre household to assasinate Luke's father as a vengeance of his household's slaughter, but mellowed after he befriend Luke.
Tear - assigned by her brother to take Luke to that mining town, so the prophecy can be fulfilled.
Jade - tried to kidnap Luke as a bargaining chip. but because his fon slot was sealed, he changed his plan so Luke come there on his own.
Anise - Spy for the church.

That's true about guy
Anise betraying includes that so
Jade's the real MVP for that lol

But I'm gonna need you to explain the part about Tear letting Van take Luke there. From what I remember, it went

Arrive in akzeriuth
Tear goes to look for a seventh fonstone
Luke pisses off everyone
Luke goes with Van
Asch and Tear find out about Van being there and they know about that part of the score
They try to stop Van

Hell, Tear was part of house fende so she'd probably know some good deal of the closed score just by virtue of that
