Trivia: Tales of the Abyss
  • Fan Nickname - Luke's Fan Nickname is Ambassador Asshat, for when he cranks up his Jerkass nature Up to Eleven as an ambassador to Akzeriuth. That's what happens when you give a spoiled rich kid authority and tell him that his freedom and the opportunity to work alongside his beloved father figure ride entirely on him doing an impressive job.
  • Marth Debuted in Smash Bros.: Nanaly from Tales Of Destiny II first appeared as a Cameo fight to the west in this game. Likewise, Reala and Harold from Tales Of Destiny II also first appeared in this game in the form of references in Tokunaga accessories.
  • No Export for You: Live in Europe? Get a region 1 PS2 or learn Japanese and import a Japanese copy, it's the only way you'll ever see this game. Also what (quite reasonably given the series's past) fans expect from the 3DS port.
    • Subverted. The 3DS port has been confirmed to be an international release. If you're in Europe and still want to play it on the PS2, then you'll have to import.
  • Remade for the Export: As stated above, unlike the original PlayStation 2 release, the Nintendo 3DS version is being released in PAL regions.
  • What Could Have Been: Apparently some stuff was discovered that suggests more stuff was Dummied Out. While quite a bit of it was restored for the North American localization (And the 3DS remake), among the things found were not only un-used Hi-Ougi cut-ins (Even for the cameo teams; a bug could have Rid show a cut-in for Burning Phoenix suggesting this was even programmed in) but also Van to be playable at one point.
    • X-Buster was apparently intended to be Dist's Hi-ougi/Mystic Arte.
