Tales of the Abyss will be available in North America on February 14, 2012.

Tales of the Abyss, the critically-acclaimed PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system role playing game, is updated for the Nintendo 3DS system. The upcoming title delivers full 3D support and use of the dual screens to bring players closer to the action. Tales of the Abyss tells the story of Luke fon Fabre, sole heir to a family of aristocrats, as he is suddenly thrust into the outside world on an epic adventure. Naïve and spoiled by years of isolation, Luke struggles to learn of friendship, sacrifice, duty and of choice. With the fates of many in his hands, Luke’s actions could ultimately save the world or bring about its very destruction.

The series’ trademark real-time battle system returns with increased mobility in the “Flex Range Linear Motion Battle System.” The updated battle system allows players to run in any direction while engaged in battle. Throughout the game, characters will learn AD Skills, acquired with the use of Capacity Cores, stat increasing items given out as characters level up. AD Skills can be equipped and unequipped at will during battles. The battle system also introduces Field of Fonons, a special system that allows players to charge elemental attacks through repeated use. Once the Field of Fonons is charged, players can execute a technique that corresponds to the elemental alignment represented on the screen to create an upgraded, powerful version of the attack.

Tales of the Abyss is developed by NAMCO TALES STUDIO LTD. and will be available for North America on February 14, 2012. In addition to Tales of the Abyss, NAMCO BANDAI Games America will also be releasing Tales of Graces f, exclusively for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system in 2012.

Nearly 3 whole months after the European release.... . I never got to play the PS2 version so this makes me disappoint .

It is pretty disappointing. Especially since Namco will not be putting any effort at all with this extra time to voice the skits that were missing from the PS2 game. The game is just sitting there probably because Namco thinks it's not going to do well in November against Mario.

This is pretty damn ridiculous. I'm sure there is very little good reason behind this decision.

I wouldn't care about the date at all if the 3ds was region free, double screwed now can't import unless I had a EU 3ds or I gotta wait 3 extra months. I don't have a problem importing especially for single player games just sucks when I don't have the option do to the lockout. At least the Wii has Gecko OS and many other means to play import games you own, it not being region free isn't much of an issue anymore and the psp ps3 and 360 are all region free so they are non issues.

Oh noes, the release is 3 months late. Let's complain the fuck about it.

At least we're getting the game.
