Tales of the Abyss: Luke [Arte Exhibition]

[@Kyuubi424]

I don't get it; people couldn't get used to Luke? I thought he was one of the best. And people only sued his side-quest artes? Rending Thrust is such an amazing move. And Havoc Strike gets you close enough to follow up with just about anything.

[@pn2294]

Kyuubi424 I always thought that it was because people tend to prefer faster characters

[@chimeratcg07]

@@pn2294 Luke is fast enough in my opinion, I think the main issue is that his Artes don't combo as well as Guy's.

[@Kindi001]

Yep, luke jiat kinda hard or have some time lag to connect his arts to another arts for combo. And that little annoying. While Guy is smoth connecting his art to make combo. The forgiving part maybe on 2nd play through lost fon dive dmg is crazy strong.

[@viperzeno]

Luke say chill in guardian frost lol

[@TheClamatoJuice]

That's the first time I've ever seen Lost Fon Drive. I have one of the initial printings of the game, so it forgets I have clear data before I can aquire it. (All the bonuses -- save for grade shop purchases -- disappear within the first few hours of the game after saving a fresh clear data. I got to use Indignation with Jade at one point until it forgot...) I have the 3DS version now though, so hopefully I'll get to use these bonuses I ought to have had years ago. xD Thanks for the video

[@MrGamer1992]

It's also for 3DS if you have one. I still see new copies being sold @ Gamestop. If you're from Europe, then there's only 3DS versions and they're rare to find a PAL copy. D:

[@clarisseschannel46]

how about the "ION" arte?

[@Sinisteredgirl]

have you gone past Akzeriuth? If not, then you should :) or finish the game, at least. Luke was deliberately made to be the worst in the beginning, but he eventually becomes one of the most well-developed characters in jRPGs...

[@matthewfehrle8973]

Sinisteredgirl he's a great example of awesome character development

[@elago98]

wow you answered a 3 year old comment

[@jensvide777]

His character development is pretty bad. He's a major douchebag, doesn't change one bit, and after guilt gets to him he's suddenly Mister Goody-two-shoes? And then he remains that way until the end of the game. He's such an unnuanced character.

[@Sinisteredgirl]

blue cheese cult If I remember it correctly, it was stated somewhere that Luke has always been nice (I think Ion said it. Also, it was stated that Luke has always been extra nice to the servants), it's just that he was too arrogant to let it show. After losing everything--his friends, even his identity as Luke fon Fabre--his pride had been stripped away and his inner kindness began to show. But even with this, I would argue that the most important character development for Luke is not really the arrogant to selfless change, but the one after it: from the post-akzeriuth guy who absolutely had no sense of self-worth (which, as shown multiple times in the game, drove him to suicidal tendencies), to the post-tower of rem character who has found self-worth in being alive. Dismissing his character development to only the first one is doing a disservice to his character.

[@dankdilly]

My favorite was probably Natalia

[@shadowkirby2007]

Awesome Luke's Arte Exhibition :D 5/5 Stars.

[@CrowRichi]

I got only Pc and Ps2. I read a review abaut Tale of Vesperia and there was supposedly great fighting system from that Tale of the Abyss. I wish to check it aut, but on Allegro and others internet marketplace, theres no such games on this Title.

[@boneking1009]

love lukes left handed but his right hand is still used in combat also everyone hates his dialogue but diction is critical; lukes accent is hard to pinpoint

[@MIAM_MIAM_CUISINE]

Can't wait for the 3DS remake to come out, first EU release for this game! :D

[@viperzeno]

BTW what is the music name

[@lynk172]

We all wondered what is the track you used passaro, does someone already discover it? Edit: he told me now, is "Desperate" from the anime ost Edit 2: the other one is "Sudden Assault" also from the anime

[@MoleBradRy]

Heh I honestly only use Artes that either create FOFs or have FOF changes.

[@windwaker0rules]

@dagoldenclip2 nice arte exhibition now do the 3ds 1 XD

[@lonerboy18]

@ShadowJetX It only looks cooler, because its now a newer character and system, afterall each series the look a spell or arte changes drastically of minimally xD

[@KeeveSuikoden2Hero]

hold O...? shouldn`t you hold down Square button...? because that`s what I did when using Radiant Howl in my 2nd gameplay and it works...

[@Sardrellas]

with guy and luke's altered artes, shouldnt it be guardian glacier for guardian field, and final frost for um... final cross was it? i forget the name of guy's attack.

[@EXHellfire]

In any case, Albert says hello, right?

[@Ryan007N]

Are you going to do Asch's exhibition? I know ser4phkratos has done it, but the "How can I get like this?" messed up a few quotes in there.

[@adikkuchan]

@gargisamara Good thing in RM2 he is a bit smarter in attacks. I have the urge to use him more than Guy for some reason. :P

[@JamGameRoom]

After you beat the game once an get the Key of Lorelei, you can use Lost Fon drive by pressing the attack button and the arte button at the same time when you have less than 25% max HP. Confusing, right?

[@RyoLive]

It's funny because demon fist is what luke calls demon fang, a sword move

[@vin4679]

Majin Ken is actually Demon Fist, some tales games made the translation wrong

[@matthewkuscienko4616]

​@vin4679 No, not necessarily. To my understanding, majinken is used for both demon fang and demon fist in Japan, and both artes are typically functionally identical -- the main difference is that one uses a sword, the other is done with a fist. Demon Fang is also far and away more commonly seen than demon fist is by comparison, with Luke being the first demon fist user that fights with a sword, probably because Guy already gets demon fang. Either way, both are still majinken if you want to be technical about it

[@sonic26000]

Wow first I've seen anyone with a sword use Demon FIST. >.>'

[@MysticGohan87]

Hey when you used Steel you Healed yourself right? well I equipped the Grass Chamber on Luke (Green dot) and I used Steel in battle but it doesn't seem to work what did I do wrong? please respond D:

[@danieliturrino7381]

What you have equipped that your health keeps regenerating?

[@ES21007]

I'm sorry, Luke only has Radiant Howl for all his appearances outside Abyss.

[@thetimmon]

ive only played vesperia do they have skills in abyss?

[@megasoniczxx]

@dagoldenclip2:true I pretty much use him all the time too bad he like everybody else dont have to many artes though.

[@catindigamajig]

Makes me feel like doing another Abyss run, too...

[@kurtman4890]

i need to play this game asap

[@CrowRichi]

That looks nice. I never hear much abaut this game. Its rpg on Ps2, right? Where can i get it?

[@UchihaEnma]

WHAT THE FUCK?! IS THAT THE SWORD FLAMBERGE?!

[@DarkVaati13]

no its the Key of Lorelei. You get it after you beat Asch in Eldrant

[@AncientProverb]

DarkVaati13 Pretty sure he meant at the end with the ion extension.

[@DarkVaati13]

***** oh yes than it is the Flamberge

[@15Linkmaster]

@dagoldenclip2 what sword are you using?

[@gamefreak7721]

Is there a way to have Luke's do fof Artes without tears support

[@taylord5381]

Chris Harbauer abyss has this thing where elemental magic will create circles on the field the circle will be the same element as the spell that was cast. Then you use the right arte in the right elemental circle to perform the fof arte

[@boneking1009]

use sunlight chamber on incomplete fields (excluding incomplete light and dark)

[@Lethargy514]

Maybe its because you didn't get to the part where Luke changes from being a total prick. T_T

[@axcel20010]

How u get demon fist?

[@ShadowJetX]

Yuri's Frigid Blast is wayyy cooler, but Luke's is the original (correct me if I'm wrong yeah).

[@meow0987meow]

Anyone else notice the woman Luke fights from 1:30 to 1:50 has a very similar voice to Karol from Vesperia? Did the same voice actor might have do minor voices in Abyss?

[@Ziharkk]

@snowmandashdash Luke is arguably the best character across all JRPG's because of his personal growth. As a true character, he outclasses Lloyd, Yuri, Stahn, Emil, etc. by miles. If you were referring to playstyle, then you should probably specify.

[@aaronbankston5702]

I agree.

[@otaku69illusion]

Wait a second...how did u make Ion appear? Sorry if this is a stupid question but when I played this on my 3ds I never did that before. Also how did you do the other mystic arte (the one that's not radiant howl)?

[@MongooseDave2]

Ion can only appear for the Radiant Howl extension on your second playthrough or later; you just keep the attack button held down. The other one is the same deal, only after your first playthrough can it be activated. You need your health in the red and hold down guard+attack+arte buttons (similar to Lloyd's).

[@MongooseDave2]

Oh, I forgot to mention you need the Key of Lorelei weapon to do Lost Fon Drive. So you have a relatively small window to do it since you don't get to keep that weapon for very long.

[@BanditTheThief09]

You have to be playing on your second play through or later. Hold the attack button the entire time Radiant Howl is being used. And don't worry, I didn't know about this until I found it by accident. :P

[@ShooberTimber]

Here's all the requirements you need in order to get Ion to appear during radiant howl. 1. You need to beat the game at least once and then save that game file after the credit roll. 2. You need to hold the X button once radiant howl activates from start to finish (or start holding X down once you see Luke's face flash across the screen, I'm not sure which one exactly but its one of the two). 3. Apparently, you also need to be at a point in the game where ion is traveling with your group, otherwise, his extension to radiant howl won't activate.

[@mmm-lh6xr]

1:50

[@RandomCommenterful]

I don't know if that makes him "the best". He's arguably the most unique protagonist in the Tales series, but Best? I'm not so sure..

[@ShadowJetX]

@EmisaryOfDeezNutz Touche.

[@EXHellfire]

Swallow Fury is so annoying, it almost never connects.

[@rVesperialGaming]

Beat the game for you 2nd run.

[@shadehadagaming9892]

Love luke but Lloyd is mi boi

[@WandererTruth]

I could not get into this game mainly because of how much of an unlikable dick Luke was... The rest of the cast seemed pretty meh from what I played as well. Apparently it's an awesome jrpg that I'm just not seeing. =[
