Should I try to finish Tales of Abyss?

[skyknight]

OK,

I am busy with the holidays, and got several games for the 120GB PS3 slim, thus I haven't touched my PS2 and Tales of Abyss for about two months. The game is my bro's, he lend it to me after beating the games several times himself, and after I watched the anime-adapted series (which I got curious about the game). He is in no hurry of getting it back.

Me on the other, haven't started on Rouge Galaxy, Persona 4, and is waiting for Suikoden III to arrive. Given that I finished FFX, FFXII, Arc the Lad, Shadow Hearts 2, Xenosaga I~III..., is there a good reason that I should try to finish Tales of Abyss?

I am at the point after Luke rejoins his party after the continent collapse.

I'm on the last boss of Tales of the Abyss right now, and it just doesn't feel like I have any incentive to finish it. I think I should just finish it up, because I have some free time. I recommend the same to you. No sense in not completing a partially-finished game.

[Also, you're not interested in selling Xenosaga 3, are you? I've been looking for that game for a reasonable price for a good few months.]

If you don't, it will always be hanging over your head.

Speaking of which, is the Xenosaga series worth playing?

How long would it take to go through the three of them?

on Xenosaga series:

supposedly to be the spiritual successor + timeline prequel to cult-fav Xenogears, in XS III there's a secret boss that looks one from XG. I'm not planning to sell any of these in the near future, unless someone drives a Brinks truck full of cash to my place right now

Is the series worth playing? If you did enjoy Xenogears and like mechas, then yes, give it a try. Otherwise it was an ambitious project from Namco trying to create an epic Sci-fi RPG that fell short on expectations.

Each one will at least take about 30 hours to complete. Though I must warn everyone on II, which was the low point and the major factor that contribute to demise of the project. I and III are worth playing.

On Tales of Abyss, like I mention in the first post, my bro is in no hurry for me to return, I mean its been about 5-months since he lend it to me! I didn't finish Wild Arms 3, Phantom Brave, and a couple of RPG's.

Man up and finish it
