Tales of the Abyss is the third fully 3D installment of the Tales of series. In Japan, it marked the 10th anniversary of the Tales of series with its December 15th, 2005 release date. In the US, it was released on October 10th, 2006. Like most other Tales of games, the music was yet again composed by Motoi Sakuraba and Shinji Tamura. This time, however, Motoo Fujiwara also composed a few tracks. He is also part of the band Bump of Chicken, whom performed the opening song of the game.The Battle System

The main difference is the addition of the Free Run ability, which allows the player to move freely on the battle plane. More information can be found on the Linear Motion Battle System concept page.Version Differences
