3	WebAnimation/TalesOfTheAbyssTheAbridgedSeries is an [[AbridgedSeries abridgement]] in progress of the AnimatedAdaptation of the video game ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'', written by [[https://www.youtube.com/user/SwardVA SWardVA]] and edited by a number of Website/YouTube fandubbers, including [=LuminAbyss=], [[https://www.youtube.com/user/BeatBlox Beatblox]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/user/ShockySparky ShockySparky]]. It's notably unique in that its characters accept the fact that it takes place in an AlternateUniverse, although like many others it also [[BreakingTheFourthWall does away with the fourth wall]] and ridicules much of the game's silly moments. It currently consists mainly of promo skits and a few episodes, and can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/user/TotAAbridged here]].

5	----
6	!!This show provides examples of:
7
8	* AGodAmI: During [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igMz2M9HTqg Penguin Rapture]], Johnny Yong Penguin declared himself the "Penguin God".
9	* AlternateUniverse: The series so far seems to accept that it is one, given that the cheagles have given the real Sorcerer's Ring to "the real cast". The fourth wall isn't exactly durable, either. Guy more or less blows it wide open in Episode Two.
10	* AlwaysChaoticEvil: As weird as it seems, ''[[RidiculouslyCuteCritter the Cheagles]]'' seem to be heading in this direction. They all-too willingly offer one of their own up to be eaten by Luke & co. before tossing an EvilKnockoff of the Sorcerer's Ring on him. Why? [[ForTheEvulz Because they could]]. Contrasts quite a lot with [[WhatMeasureIsANonCute the Liger Queen]], who's actually shown to be pretty okay.
11	* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Ridiculed with Guy's super-jump in Episode 3.
12	* BerserkButton: If the events of the promo carry over into future episodes, then Mieu's will be calling him cute.
13	* BestialityIsDepraved: [[spoiler:The Malkuth soldiers got turned on by being assaulted and maimed by wolves.]]
14	* BlahBlahBlah: In Episode 3, when Tear is recounting the previous two episodes to Jade, this is all he hears as he's focusing on her [[MaleGaze boobs]].
15	* BuffySpeak: The extras tend to employ this. Might possibly be FridgeBrilliance since, let's face it, when do NPC's ''ever'' say anything specific and/or useful?
16	%%* TheCaligula: As of Episode 3, Guy is officially this to the penguins.
17	%%* CallBack: The end of Ep 3 to Ep 2.
18	%%* CuteIsEvil: The Cheagles, or at the least they're extreme {{Jerkass}}es. Especially so when under the influence of the Sorcerer's Bling.
19	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Most of the things that the generic guards come out with. At first. By now, they're not even bothering to hide the innuendo.
20	* EvilKnockoff: The cheagles had to give the actual Sorcerer's Ring to the original game's cast. Instead, they have "the Sorcerer's Bling". [[BlatantLies It only has a tiny side-effect]].
21	%%* {{Fanservice}}: Frequently pointed out and ridiculed.
22	* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: The Malkuth Soldiers seem to like proving their heterosexuality by discussing their ''very'' heterosexual sex lives [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial a little bit too much]].
23	%%* HuskyRusskie: Legretta and some of the Oracle Knights.
24	%%* IdiotHero: Luke again, doubling up with DoesNotUnderstandSarcasm.
25	%%* IncrediblyLamePun: Jade is full of them.
26	* ItsAllAboutMe: Luke could very well be the poster boy of this trope.
27	--> '''Luke''': "You can't even see my face from here! C'mon, get back to ME!"
28	--> '''Luke''': "When the camera's on me, you should only hear ''me''!"
29	--> '''Luke''': "Hey, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]]! Stop stealing my screen time!"
30	* JerkAss: Luke is one ([[CharacterExaggeration even more so than his game counterpart]]), but Jade seems to be giving him a run for his money with his [[IncrediblyLamePun utterly]] [[IncrediblyLamePun awful]] [[IncrediblyLamePun puns]].
31	* JekyllAndHyde: In the fourth promo, Mieu shows shades of this. Subverted in that the "Jekyll" side seemed to be just an act.
32	%%* KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler:Largo, by Jade.]]
33	* KissingCousins
34	--> '''Natalia''': "Where is that sexy cousin of mine?"
35	* LaughingMad: Guy.
36	* LarynxDissonance: Invoked by Mieu's voice actor during his "kawaii pose".
37	* {{Leitmotif}}: Mieu has one. Not long after he plays it, Luke asks for some of his own but proceeds to get bitchslapped for his troubles... [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome off-screen]].
38	** Mieu ''does'' [[PlayingWithFire incinerate his face in a promo, though]].
39	%%* MediumAwareness: More or less everybody.
40	* ObligatorySwearing: The second episode. The third mocks it by compiling them all for its "PreviouslyOn" section.
41	* RuleOfFunny: The only reason Guy has so many Creator/JohnnyYongBosch [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment moments]].
42	* RunningGag:
43	** The Master Van Counter Ding!
44	** Luke tripping on rocks. Even when teleporting.
45	** Master Van's eyebrows, which [[ShoutOut alludes to a gag in the actual game]].
46	** This is the best [[Creator/JohnnyYongBosch Johnny Yong]] Joke of all time. OF ALL TIME!
47	** GINGER!
48	%%* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: Guy and Mieu have started to do this.
49	%%* ScaryBlackMan: MIEU?!
50	%%* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Luke, quite often.
51	* ShoutOut:
52	** Episode One finds itself interrupted a few times by Luke a la [[ItsAllAboutMe Kuzco]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove''.
53	** Guy senses a "[[Creator/JohnnyYongBosch Johnny Yong]] [[Franchise/StarWars disturbance]]."
54	** IIRC, Mieu's {{Leitmotif}} is [[Wrestling/{{WWE}} Shane [=McMahon=]'s]].
55	** "[[VisualNovel/FateStayNight People die when they get stabbed with spears. And swords. And when you fight them.]]"
56	* SuperpoweredEvilSide: The Sorcerer's Bling apparently gives its holder one.
57	** EvilBrit: Most of the cast are Americans and, as such, most of the Cheagles are voiced by them. When Mieu's ScaryBlackMan [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Side]] takes over, however, he's played by the only Brit on the team. Discuss.
58	* TakeThat: To both Creator/VinDiesel and Creator/JohnnyYongBosch.
59	--> '''Dist''': "Who would have thought that Vin could change up his voice and be a good voice actor?"
60	--> '''Sync''': "It's not all about changing your voice. You can be a successful voice actor even if you're super-cheap and use only one voice."
61	--> '''Guy''': "... I sense... a [[RunningGag Johnny Yong]] [[Franchise/StarWars disturbance]]."
62	* TheTease: The AlternateCharacterInterpretation of Tear seems to be heading in this direction.
63	* UnsettlingGenderReveal: Luke is oblivious to the fact that Ion is a guy until the end of the episode he first appears in. Ditto for Guy.
64	* VictoriasSecretCompartment: Invoked by Tear.
65	--> '''Luke''': "You keep a map in your ear?"
66	--> '''Tear''': "Wait 'till you see where I keep my telescope."
67	--> '''Luke''': "Where ''do'' you keep it?"
68	--> '''Tear''': "* Ahem* ."
