Game description: Tales of the Abyss follows the story of the young aristocrat, Luke fon Fabre. Kidnapped seven years ago, Luke returns to his family with no memories of his life before. In order to protect him, Luke's family keeps him confined to the quite lifestyle of the palace. Suddenly, Luke is thrust into the outside world and caught in the workings of the Order of Lorelei and the Oracle Knights who serve as keepers of the prophecy known as the Score. He knows nothing of those who might be his allies or those who are already his enemies. He must learn of the power of friendship and feel the pain of sacrifice. Luke's actions could save the world or destroy it.

FPS: 55 - 60 (capped). You may want to try using speed hacks, but all cycle modifying speedhacks (sync hacks) are likely to break the game such as loose music and crash in battles.

Trivia
- Original names: テイルズ オブ ジ アビス (SLPS-25586) & (SLPS-73252)
Known Issues
Teleporter miscalculation causing a soft lock
- Status: Needs Retesting
- Type: Major
- Description: When presented with 5 concurrent Teleporters, the back right (white?) one will teleport you halfway into the floor, unable to get out, effectively causing a soft lock until you reload your game/save.
- Workaround: Hold the left analog up when being teleported to avoid getting stuck in the ground.
Non-Issues
Rectangular outlines in the skybox when upscaling
- Type: Not an issue
- Description: When upscaling, you can see black lines form a repeating rectangular pattern in the game's skyboxes.
- Workaround: For the NTSC-U version (CRC?) you can use the following pnach by sergx12 on the pcsx2 forums:
patch=1,EE,205E570C,extended,00000000
Image ghosting when upscaling
- Type: Not an issue
- Description: When upscaling, there is heavy ghosting.
- Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
- Last tested on: v1.7.5947 (by TheTechnicican27)

Standard way the emulator will show the game (without half pixel offset)
-
This is with the half pixel offset set to: special (texture). Looking much sharper
-
With the half pixel offset set to: special (texture) the [ghosting] is fixed but instances where lines can appear now, however this seems to be the only case so far
-
Resolution table for custom multiples of native for TotA (can differ from game to game and even scene to scene in the same game (however TotA seems to be fixed for the whole game))
