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.

{{Issue
|IssueName=Ghosting at non-native resolutions.
|IssueName=Rectangular outlines in the skybox when upscaling
|IsFixed=0
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|IssueLevel=-1
|Description=If you set a resolution that's higher than the game's native resolution, a "ghost" effect will occur.
|Description=When upscaling, you can see black lines form a repeating rectangular pattern in the game's skyboxes.
|Workaround=A patched GSdx has been made available to fix this issue. After you set this version of GSdx as your active plugin, you have to tick "Enable HW Hacks" under GSdx options, and then enable the "ToA Ghost Fix" hack. Use Native Scaling (x2, x3, etc.) or higher. Don't use custom resolutions or the patch will not work. You can find the patched GSdx [http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-tota-s-ghosting?pid=444255#pid444255 here]. (Latest GSdx version of the patch was compiled on May 05, 2015 and is currently available for SSE2, SSSE3, SSE4, and AVX2. Other versions or newer versions in the future can be requested.)
|Workaround=For the NTSC-U version (CRC?) you can use the following pnach by sergx12 on the pcsx2 forums:
* '''Note:''' The patch causes a 1px border on the left and top side of the screen. This is caused by the offset hack and can't be avoided unfortunately. Compared to the ghosting though it's a very minor issue and still makes it worth using.
<pre>
|Workaround(updated) = Old note saved for postatirty, but new link for the files is contained within the thread: [https://www.reddit.com/r/PCSX2/comments/9vau9o/tales_of_the_abyss_upscaling_ghosting_fix/ here], however if you read the comments the ghosting issue should be fixed in developments >1.5.0, but if you still have ghosting then you can manually force the said fix without the files using the graphics plugin setting > advanced settings and hacks > half pixel offset:: (normal (vertex)) and setting the internal resolution to anything not native (it is not recommended to use custom resolutions) as thats what causes the ghosting :P.
