I don't know why I had a long hiatus.  There's no real excuse.

Anyway, I love the Tales series.  I love the OP to Tales of the Abyss.  Fortunately, it was reused for the Tales of the Abyss anime series.  The song is actually "Karma" by Bump of Chicken.   I would love to play this game again sometime.  It's such a huge time investment.  It's strange how I managed to play through the game twice despite its length with both playthroughs I've done going over 50+ hours.  The gameplay is great.  Although I wouldn't consider it the best of the Tales series, it isn't a bad game.
